Snail Mucin

Snail secretion filtrate is the ingredient that got most people into K-beauty in the first place, and it has stayed popular for an unglamorous reason: it works, and almost nobody reacts to it.

It is a mix of glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid that hydrates, helps post-blemish marks fade and leaves skin looking smoother without irritation. The texture is the part people either love or cannot get past — it is genuinely slimy, and it does absorb.

COSRX 96% Mucin Essence is the one everyone means when they say snail. Use it after toner, before moisturiser. Safe every day.
