The COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence represents the pinnacle of K-beauty innovation with its 96% snail secretion filtrate concentration. This lightweight essence delivers intensive hydration, accelerated skin repair, and the coveted K-beauty glow through nature's most effective regenerative ingredient.
The highest concentration of snail mucin available in skincare, containing natural glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors that promote cellular regeneration and repair. This potent ingredient naturally occurs when snails repair their own shells, providing identical healing benefits for human skin damage and irritation.
Snail mucin's natural hyaluronic acid content provides superior moisture-binding capabilities, delivering deep hydration that lasts throughout the day. The lightweight essence penetrates multiple skin layers to restore moisture balance without leaving any sticky or heavy residue on the skin surface.
Natural growth factors and proteins in snail secretion filtrate accelerate skin cell turnover and repair damaged tissue, making it highly effective for healing acne scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and general skin damage. Regular use visibly improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of imperfections.
Snail mucin's natural anti-inflammatory compounds calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and provide relief for sensitive or compromised skin barriers. This makes the essence suitable for use during harsh treatment periods or for those with reactive skin conditions requiring gentle care.
The essence creates the signature K-beauty "glass skin" glow through its unique ability to smooth skin texture, enhance radiance, and create a healthy, dewy finish. Regular use results in visibly brighter, more luminous skin that appears naturally healthy and youthful.
Despite its high concentration, the essence maintains a lightweight, watery texture that absorbs quickly without pilling or interfering with subsequent skincare layers. The pleasant, gel-like consistency makes it ideal for layering in multi-step Korean skincare routines.
