The best COSRX products tested by editors

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the K-beauty gurls – aside from double cleansing is a must – is that snails are meant to be on our face. Yep, you read that correctly.

I’m not talking about the ones that we side step on the sidewalk after rainfall, or the ones our siblings chased us around the garden with when we were younger (core memory unlocked? same). I’m talking about the ones that became THEE number one ingredient in scientifically backed products to produce *drumroll please* glass skin.

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Now 50% Off

One brand stands head and shoulders above the rest and that is COSRX’s Snail Mucin Power Essence. As someone who randomly discovered the serum two years ago while doomscrolling on TikTok I can’t fault it, and in all honesty I can’t shut up about it. Celebs like Em Rata, Kim K, and Madeline Argy swear by it as well.

Aside from my monthly microdermabrasion appointments, nothing in my skincare arsenal keeps my face smooth or even heals unexpected stress spots that I’ve picked at – even though I’m not supposed to – faster.

The serum is 96% snail secretion (gross, but your skin will thank you) and works on all skin types. Its powerful formula was literally made to fight dryness, dullness, soothe breakouts, improve elasticity and ageing. Once you get started, trust me, you won’t want to stop. Look at the material, I’m two years in and still happy as a clam.

So much so that I added another one of COSRX’s snail-based products to my routine. The Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream is a lightweight moisturiser that not only builds up the moisture barrier but also soothes your skin. It sits perfectly between your skin and makeup helping to create a flawless base.

To prepare for the warmer months, bless your skin with both products and try a few more of our fave K-beauty gems. PSA: Amazon is conveniently holding their Spring Deal Days sale RN, which means savings for your wallet – and glass skin for your face.
