Up until I got this Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, I was missing a crucial part of my skincare routine. This is the first Korean essence I’ve tried, and I went into it with some reservations about whether or not I actually needed it. After doing some research, I felt even more bewildered. According to my research, essences are an additional step to increase the skin’s hydration level and typically contain a lot of soothing ingredients. I use this in place of or in addition to a serum, or layered with other products. It will also depends on your skin’s needs and preferences. When I used this product:
I first cleansed my face with foam;
Then I used a watery mist toner;
Then I applied snail essence;
Finally I applied a honey mask from Cosrx or two drops of rosehip seed oil.
HOW TO USE Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
When I use this essence, I don’t need to apply a serum or thick moisturizer because my skin is adequately hydrated. Acne, redness, and dryness are no match for the potency of this essence. I had a severe case of cystic acne broke out on my face in January. My skin was severely damaged by the many harsh acne treatments I tried. I stopped using the harsh products after that and instead started using ones with calming properties.
When I added this essence to my routine, I noticed a significant improvement in how quickly my skin healed. When I had some post-sheet-mask redness, this essence helped calm it down within the hour. The item is distinctive in that it is sticky and slippery at the same time. It only takes one pump for me to get the job done. More use makes it feel occlusive and prevents other products from penetrating the skin. Its texture takes some getting used to. It’s great that there is no artificial scent in the product.
