Product Summary

"COSRX - Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory

This product could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

In addition, this product contains Allantoin (0.90% - 1.35%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 1.60% - 2.40%, snail secretion filtrate 96.00% (declared) and betaine 23.00% - 35.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?

Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Source: From product name

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, snail secretion filtrate.

When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
