Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

This essence is built on a 96% concentration of snail secretion filtrate, rounded out with hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and allantoin to hold in moisture and take the edge off irritation. The texture is a little tacky at first and then sinks in, which is typical of mucin-heavy essences, and it's become a go-to for people managing redness or post-breakout marks. COSRX markets it toward sensitive and combination skin, and it picked up a New York Post Most Wanted beauty award in 2024.
