Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence By COSRX

Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence by COSRX is a lightweight Korean facial essence formulated with 96.3% snail secretion filtrate to deliver intensive hydration while supporting a smoother, healthier-looking skin barrier. The fast-absorbing formula is designed for all skin types, including sensitive, dehydrated, and stressed skin, and leaves the complexion looking plump, radiant, and refreshed without a heavy or greasy finish. COSRX identifies snail mucin as the formula’s primary skin-conditioning ingredient and lists sodium hyaluronate, allantoin, panthenol, and betaine among its supporting ingredients.

The essence helps replenish moisture and improve the appearance of rough, dull, or visibly stressed skin. Sodium hyaluronate attracts and retains moisture, while panthenol and allantoin help soothe and support the skin barrier. Betaine provides additional hydration, helping maintain a comfortable, supple feel. COSRX reports clinical testing showing improvements in visible radiance, redness, hydration, and skin smoothness.

Its lightweight, slightly viscous essence texture fits easily between toner and moisturizer in a daily skincare routine. After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount to the face and gently pat until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer. It can be used morning or evening and is suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, making it a streamlined option for shoppers looking for hydration without added fragrance.
