I’ve been using cosRX snail mucin power essence for at 2 years. I’m almost 33. I have been using some form of retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, and sunscreen since I was 21. I have been completely consistent since then. Over the last 2 years I have seen the best skin of my life.
Agree!!! It’s slow improvement but when a base layer in skincare or as an additive to exfoliants, or used on days when not using exfoliants…it’s a huge leg up in my overall skin health for sure!
At 32 years old, deciding to care about face care is different. I started with CeraVE am & pm moisturizer and some other various things. Gonna get some vitamin c serum, toner and this. Do my best to tackle this new routine/habit.
@isbilahariffin6500 - NO apologies needed. You're doing great! 👍 Dr. Maxfield, took Vaseline, it is used for many things, but in this video it's used to "slug". Slug- Using a petroleum jelly based product as the last part of your skincare routine(3 x wk) Because the topic of this video was Snail(aka-Slug) Mucin, Dr. Maxfield Slugged the "Slug." 🤣 Sounded much funnier when he said it🤭. Hopes this helped! 🙄✌️
I use the CosRX snail essence underneath a damp/wet compressed sheet mask, after about 15 minutes I remove the mask, apply moisturiser then Aquaphor, and I wake up the next morning with soft, plump skin. It's my skin's weekly treat!
I’ve been using CosRX Snail Mucin products for over a year living in a dry climate with mature skin. In August of this year I was diagnosed with cancer and have been undergoing chemotherapy on the weekly for 2 months. Every time my care team sees me they comment how great my skin looks. I have to give a lot of credit to my skincare regimen. The texture isn’t a big deal as it doesn’t stay sticky after application. I won’t be giving it up anytime soon!
@@Beex848 Yes … I’ve been using these products for nearly a year prior to diagnosis. I find them to be very effective with no correlation between my diagnosis and the skincare I use. My cancer diagnosis has a very specific genetic causation so no worries there.
Love the COSRX essence! I'm 70 and it's been a game changer for my skin! Wrinkles and dark spots less noticeable. I used it after a biopsy when I wasn't healing well. Within 2 days the injury stopped "weeping". Best of all, I haven't had a single eczema outbreak since I started using it in July!
@@21972012145525hi, I've seen multiple people in the comment section with dust mite allergies saying it works great for them. You should always patch test though
As someone with eczema due to the damaged skin barrier, snail mucin really helps tremendously with the hydration. I like that it isnt greasy or sticky once it is applied. Makes my skin soft and it layers really well under sunscreen. Once u get past the gross factor, it really is a great product.
Hi! I have eczema as well, do you apply it on your body too or just face? I have been using it on my face and I love how hydrated I feel all day. But I was just recently wondering if I can apply it on my body too.
Originally I thought the snail label was just poetic branding. Then I realized my skin was loving it. Then I realized it was actually snail slime. By that point I was already in.
I’ve been using snail mucin, primary Mizon since my 20s (also other brands) and it has done wonders for my combination skin. I’m almost 40 and no one would believe that. Obviously, genetics and diet play a factor but snail mucin plus spf 50 has really slowed the aging process to a snail crawl (pun intended).
THANK YOU for addressing the ethics of it! I have been looking to try snail mucin but was really concerned about whether it’s cruelty free, and couldn’t find many others talking about that. More excited to try it now!!!
This video could not have come at a better time. I had surgery three weeks ago and my incisions, while healed, are at the itchy peeling skin stage. Aloe doesn’t stay long enough to help and I can’t exfoliate the area (stomach) yet. I do have a bottle of cosrx snail mucin 96 that didn’t do much for my oily face but I didn’t want to get rid of it because it is a great product. I just got up and put a dollop all over my stomach and the RELIEF. OMG. No more itching! I don’t want to claw my skin off! My skin actually feels good right now!
@@lerularaHey, I got hyperpigmentation after RF microneedling( my skin gets HP after any kind of procedure). My doc gave me Kojic acid , hydroquinone. It does bleach the skin but also gave me redness. I started using this cream and it did wonders for my redness and hp. I can definitely see the difference. I would suggest use this if you are using any acids or tretenoin as they might irritate your skin. This will help to soothe and hydrate
I’m interested in it helping your hyperpigmentation. I have found it great for moisturizing but haven’t seen any lightening. I’ve just begun using though !
I'm highly allergic to dust mites (confirmed by allergy skin test) and yet CosRX snail mucin has had no detrimental effects on me! I use the essence and moisturizer daily!
Love the ingredient focused videos! Would definitely love a overrated/underrated video for ingredients that are more common in Korean and Japanese skincare products.
So glad to see this! I have been using the Cosrx snail mucin for months. I am 68, lifelong acne prone skin and of course aging. I find the mucin is hydrating and does not irritate.
Things that can feel stress of any kind, regardless of whether or not it's the same kind of stress as we experience, tend to reap negative health benefits from being stressed. It costs nothing to be compassionate. For example, this is why I dispatch fish that I catch by using Ike Jime. Less stress to the fish before it dies. It's proven that the cortisol lowers the quality of the meat, so I would wager that it hurts the fish itself and thus I care not to hurt it any more than I need to. @@RealSuccessForAll
Snail mucin helped erase acne marks on my cheeks and totally erased my pigmentation around mouth. I started with cerave face wash, cosrx snail mucin essence, ending with elf holy hydration moisturizer (I tried blue and violet both, they worked just fine) and Hawaiian tropic sunscreen in the morning 50+. That's all and my skin is glowing. I did this for 1 whole year where I had cystic acne due to PCOD and dry patches on sides of my mouth with itchiness and pain. It's worked wonders for my skin and repaired my skin barrier. TIP: Use it on eyes as well. It helps with dark circles. 😘
Same. I use the COSRX and it is the only thing that helped my hyperpigmentation on my checks and nose. I tried Musely and it didn’t do anything. This is one of my most favorite products.
@heeeq0I have found once it is rubbed into the skin the stickiness dissipates a bit. I haven’t had any issues with using moisturizer over the snail mucin I use.
This is the only ingredient that personally I would feel comfortable slugging. My skin never broke out even after multiple multiple layers of this stuff. It's that good. My skin has never been better.
I have used snail mucin creams for the last 8 years or so and I love them. They have different ones in local Asian markets at different price points. I have had the CosRx cream in the jar for a year now and I use it after exfoliating or when I need some extra hydration. It goes on sale at Ulta every once in a while. Thank you for the info!
I’m 64 years old and I still break out. My little friend from Brazil recommended Snail empoule. I ordered it off Amazon 80% snail slime. A month in now and I’m receiving compliments on my skin. They ask if I had something done. 😂 I did break out at first I backed off of daily use and gradually started using it 2 x day. I love the slime! 😂
Actually my friend used real snail slime in Brazil. Lol 😂 that was a hard no for me. There is a quite a few snail products on Amazon and I blindly pick one. Fortunately it worked for me. Its made by Mizon. Snail repair intensive Ampoule. ( which is a serum ) I’m a believer who knew snail slime would help with breakouts and wrinkles. 😁
Do you think this will also help with the wrinkles around the lips? I am 56y and I am struggling with this and I am trying so hard to take care of face
I have used COSRX snail mucin for over a year and I love it. For me personally the hydration from this product lasts longer than TO hylauronic serum. My skin used to be very dry. It’s now normal to dry, being drier more in Winter months. Thanks for your honest review.
Same. I use corsx too and my face always been smoother. It's amazing. I start with the small tube one for a few months and now transitioning into the big one.
It does improve scars. I’ve used Benton’s snail bee essence and their steam cream for 2 years straight after having post cystic acne scars (could be seen up close) but recently I’ve noticed that they are all gone. So, in my opinion it does work.
It honestly works wonders for my undereye puffiness, and depuffs my face in general. I tried taking snail mucin out of my routine numerous times over the years but kept bringing it back, my face is just not the same without it 😅
When I first started looking into Korean skincare I came across Cosrx and their snail gel and it’s been a part of my routine for a couple years now. The past year I’ve also added the essence and I love both of them. The only time I get compliments on my skin is after I’ve put on the snail products. Also I have normal - oily skin and they are very hydrating without making my skin an oil slick.
Snail mucin works better than premium skin care. I suffered from acne for 40 years and nothing worked until I started using snail mucin. Another good product is centella asiatica.
First time I tried this on my oily skin I thought ‘meh’ and preferred HA. Now I’m on Tretinoin and skin is much drier/dehydrated, I love it! Way better than HA and glad I rediscovered it 😊
This video put everything in perspective for me and answered my main question - this has been a super miracle product for many people with eczema BUT it gave me many big allergic reactions and unfortunately I had to stop using it. As a person with high dust allergy, it is my main trigger for my eczema, this would make a lot of sense as to why I had the same reaction to snail mucin. Thank you! ☺️
Seek help from a homoeopath re dust mite allergies - you can desensitize using the homoeopathic dust mite remedy and it is safe to do so. I am a medical doctor by background and while I practised I prescribed homoeopathy too. Now I help people with their health outwith the medical system. I love the way these guys just described the benefits of snail mucin it would be fab if you could address the dust mite allergy situation so you could use it! I have plenty other recommendations for helping with eczema along side but I could imagine due to its healing properties snail mucin would be potentially amazing if you could tolerate it fine.
The Cosrx Snail Mucin 92 All In One Cream is one of my holy grail moisturisers. I've gone through so many jars and tubes by now. In summer it's enough for me by itself, but in winter I love to put La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast Baume B5+ on top. My dehydrated acne-prone skin loves it
I’ve been using the CosRx for a few months and I love it. Very hydrating to my dry skin. It’s good to hear all the good things about Korean beauty. It’s on sale right now on Amazon. BTW, for the past year I’ve been using vitamin c and Olay retinol on my three year old TKR scars and they are much less noticeable.
I've struggled with pretty severe acne for decades and have tried almost everything under the sun. I started using corsx 92 cream last year as my last evening skincare step to let it soak in overnight, and love it. Seems like it's really repaired my face's moisture barrier and balanced out my dry vs oily spots. I do still get some acne, but less, and my blemishes go away and heal faster. It's the only "trendy" skincare product I'm totally bought into.
I have this autoimmune condition where literally everything irritates my skin, except for snail mucin for some reason, it calms my skin like no other. Hence why my entire skin care routine in Snail themed ❤
I used one from a health food shop many years ago. Can’t say I rated it as a moisturiser however, when I burnt myself with boiling water on my leg it blistered and burst. The snail slime gel fixed it in less than three days and I take a while to heal normally . So On that score it was impressive!
@@20thcenturyrelic I already had aquaphor in . I tried it . It did nothing in fact I was concerned it was gong infected at one point . I had the snail slime in and thought sod it I’ll try that. Glad I did now. I also scar badly even with spots I’ll be left with dark marks . Not with this burn though
I am in love with the k beauty product Cosrx! No allergies, my skin has never felt better, looked better and dewy, glass what ever you want to call it, it works.
I've been cycling on and off this for years!!! It soooo calms my ruddy Irish fair skin and plumps it up, keeps it hydrated and fresh looking. Loved it before it was ever hyped or trending as those Korean ladies already knew this years ago. Try it, you'll like it! Love that the biology backs it up. Not surprised. Thx Docs, always informed and with humor! Skincare science and humor....the best!
I forgot how entertaining and knowledgeable your videos are!! I was wondering if you can please share a routine for acne prone skin? My daughter has been dealing with acne for years and it breaks my heart to see how much it affects her.
My daughter too! I know how they feel. I had terrible acne in my teens and 20's and it's devastating to your self esteem. Nothing helped mine but the thing that's helped my daughter is taking spironolactone and birth control.
I have been using the CosRx Snail Mucin products for about 3 years. I have been using mainly Korean skin care, too. I am 65 and have been told that i look like im in my 40s. I love the mucin, i slather it on every night on my face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. They also make an eye cream with peptides. Love this stuff.
My dad always told us the story, how snail cured my aunt asthma. In African culture, our grandma and great grandmother always had a cure for everything, and it work.
Cos de Baha snail mucin transformed my skin - I use it every night and utilize the Korean 7 skin method. My skin went from dry, dull, yucky to well moisturized and hydrated within a week. Fine lines and wrinkles have deft diminished over time. Definitely a winner for me.
Love Love LOVE COSRX!!!! Game changer for me! I knew it was good because my skin looked and felt so soft. But when I had compliment after compliment on my skin, I was hooked!
My skin loves this stuff. I just started retinoids and wanted to knock everything to basics but couldn’t let it go and it’s actually gone really well. My whole night routine for the last month this dry MN winter starting retinoids has been: -Cerave Hydrating Foaming Oil Clenser -Tretinoin .025 cream -cosrx snail 96 essence -cosrx 92 all-in-one cream -Cerave Healing Balm I have pretty reactive skin and have been super surprised how quickly my skin adjusted to nightly tret and I know it’s anecdotal but I swear slugging the slug has done me a good turn 🐌 ❤
@@tanmayisurampudi6778 I have it on my underarms and groin. Benzoyl peroxide cleanser helped clear up my right underarm. Along with rx clindamycin topical solution. One day do the cleanser, one day do the topical. Everyday with the cleanser can be a bit irritating. Massage onto the area for one minute, let it sit for one min, rinse off for one minute. You can also reduce strength and/or frequency if it’s too irritating. Im curious as to how snail mucin would help hs though.
Ive been using it for 3 weeks on and off in the morning only. I had this dark spot on my nose that i had been noticing getting bigger within the past 3 years. Yesterday i noticed something different about the texture in it. I tried scratching it and it definately was not peeling. Today i woke up to notice it was half the size and 50% lighter!!!! I can't wait to see what it will do with the other spots on my face🎉 i am in my late 40s with very oily skin. I love that it's so hydrating and doesn't feel heavy or sticky on my skin.
It was hard to get over the initial 'ick' factor but as someone with menopausal (dry, acne prone, sensitive) skin who uses Retin A, I've experienced remarkable results using the snail mucin from CosRX. I used to poo poo it but there's no denying there's a benefit. And the CosRX 96 cream lasts a very long time - so cost effective as well!
I’ve been using the CosRx essence since 2018 and my skin loves it. I’ve slathered it on my kids sunburns and it’s dramatically reduced peeling. We also use it on cuts and my son’s eczema (with Aquaphor on top). The texture really is similar to aloe.
Absolutely nothing (prescription or over the counter) had been able to calm down my red and irritated excema on my neck and ears until I tried snail mucin! In one day I saw improvement and in a week my neck and ears were free of any redness! I am sold!
I love the CosRx all in one. Is moisturizing and doesn’t break me out. The slime texture is fine-not much worse than Neutrogena hydro boost cream. It lasts for a few seconds then feels just like normal cream.
I learned about snail mucin in Ecuador, year 2006. They sold creams, gels etc. at local indigenous markets. And I thought: never ever! These poor people have to use what you find in the Amazonas jungle so they use even snails 😂 At that time, nobody was talking about this ingredient. I still did not use it because I was afraid of animals suffering for my skin care.
I bought it on a whim because it was on sale and had good reviews. I have super dry skin!! It’s been so good at hydrating my skin. Just started using so not sure of long term effects. But it’s definitely helped with my hydration.
I was a skeptic but this has completely changed my skin. The addition of this and investing in good quality sunscreen has completely cleared my skin. This is legitimately the first time in probably 15 years if not more that I haven't had consistent acne. The scarring is almost gone as well. The only time I've noticed any type of breakout since starting snail mucin has been when I'm on my period and even then its not every single month so I'll gladly take it. Personally I do like to use it on damp skin though.
I have definitely loved it’s effects. I had skin irritated from traveling and sun and it healed it up. I also find putting it on my cheeks before I work out means I am less irritated by sweat during the workout. Would you consider doing a video on K-beauty more generally? The essences and toners and 10-step processes?
I used snail mucin about 10 years ago and I couldn't see the difference or benefits on my skin. However, technology probably advanced since then so maybe I'll give it another try. Also, I was a lot younger. My skin wasn't in rough shape. I'll try a different brand this time around. I do think it does help with wound healing. Many years ago my dog jumped on my face and accidentally scratched my eye. I decided to apply the snail eye cream to test it and next day it was almost fully healed. I was impressed but wasn't sure if I owed it to that.
Why would you engage in research that involves a facial biopsy? As a participant in the multi-site tretinoin clinical trials, i did it to clear my acne! I still have the punch biopsy scar where my fine lines had been before the trial. That particular study concluded in the successful launch of Renova, a fact I discovered when I later opened a popular magazine and saw an advertisement featuring before and after photos of my eyes taken during the study!
Thanks for this great video! I’ve used serums and moisturiser with snail mucin quite a few years ago when it was so hyped up in south Korea, as the star ingredient! I must say it has helped so much in my hydration levels in my dehydrated skin, also with post fractional laser procedures. It’s also quite gentle on my skin (I’ve quite sensitive skin). I used Tony Moly, but nowadays a lot of Korean brands have it. ☺️👍🏻
This stuff is good. I purchased it for my daughter who has some type of fungal rash on her chin fairly recently. Nothing else we used worked to clear the thing up. I purchased the snail mucin because I remembered when she was a baby I bought something online which was made by a chemist and it had snail mucin in it. She had this menacing rash on her face at the time and it was the only thing that worked for her skin. I use it too. I think it has good healing properties.
I am not a huge fan of snail mucin, but I think it definitely has a place in skincare. I personally think it really does help with soothing skin irritation and aid in healing wounds, as long as you aren't allergic to snail. I often used the cosrx snail mucin essence on the bridge of my nose to soothe the irritation due to the weight of my glasses.
I ended up with LOTS of little bumps all over my face, then I tried a different brand and now I'm currently healing some big Cystic pimples.( I hadn't had a break out this bad in few years) when I stopped using it my skin got so ooo much better. I wanted to like it sooooo much, but it just wasn't for me. What my skin DOES love though is rice formulas.anything with fermented rice.
Some say that it is related to dust mite allergy. However. I don't experience irritation and instead soothing while using the cosrx96 snail mucin serum.
Please...Talk to us about the Aloe! I have a plant and don't really know what to utilize it for. Also, address the fact that many plans look like Aloe Vera and are not.
So happy you addressed the safety and ethical concerns regarding the snails. No matter how trendy or effective the product, that’s should be the most important consideration for people.
I find it incredibly hydrating. I use the cream one in the winter only. There's a Peach Slices version of a serum that is really lightweight and not slimy at all that I use in the warmer months. Great ingredient.
I used a product from South America in early 2000’s and it definitely helped reduce my facial scars. Everyone pulled their faces when I mentioned what it was and family still joke about it now. 😂
I’ve used the CozRX mucin and it really makes my skin very soft and it’s not irritating. Flies on with no sticky residue. I have mature skin so anything that helps make it softer I’m in!
Loved this video. The texture and thought... I can't 😂but love to see how this may evolve over time to be included in more products, like hyaluronic acid.
I've been using snail mucin for about a year now. And people look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I put it on my face. But I love it! Especially after microneedling :)
I have managed to fit both AHAs and tretinoin into my skin care regime (but not at the same). I like snail mucin afterwards because it is so soothing, and retinoids and acids are known for being harsh. I even spike my Cosrx snail essence with a little centella asiatica extract (aka gotu kola, cica) although I think I will try licorice extract next time in addition.
I use Promoter Repair Cell Moisture from TOV also known as House of PLLA. It has PLLA, PGA Plant Collagen, 4GF and Snail Mucas Filtrate. I first use Caviplla then apply the Promoter Moisturizer. It gives the glass skin look that lasts all day! Skin feels so moist and soft. I'm 68 years wise and I must tell you - you need to try this. A game changer
I have been using Cosrx for years now and I've found that it is most hydrating if I dampen my skin first! I'm older now, but I used to get an occasional acne. The snail mucin healed any open sore or wound, so I have used it on my arms and legs, not just on my face. Some other moistuizers make me break out, but this doesnt! It does feel like there is a tightening effect. I use it twice a day, and after a shower all over my body!
I use the essence daily and absolutely LOVE it! Thank god it doesn’t have any smell or fragrance, otherwise I might be grossed out by it. Now I swear by it, and will be repurchasing over and over.
I’ve been using snail mucin off and on since 2017 but became very consistent in 2021. It has changed my skins moisture content tremendously. I also had chronic, dry, cracked lips that never improved no matter what I used. Snail mucin healed my lips in days. I’ll never be without this serum.
Hi DOCTORLY! Could you do a review on these new cult favourite Age-R Booster H beauty devices from Medicube and whether it’s truly working or just Placebo effects? Thank you!!! Enquiring from Singapore 🇸🇬
I started using the CosRx snail mucon essence in 2020 and it's become a holy grail product for me; I still use it everyday in both my AM and PM routines. I have grown to love the texture/viscosity of it and it pairs wonderfully with retinol for me, which cab otherwise slightly irritate my skin during drier winter months.
How do you use it with retinol? I just bought essence and cream (CosRx), and still not sure how to incorporate it with other stuff... And what retinol do you use? 😊
@@tratincica2211 I use Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream every other night. I use 1) a hydrating toner (Heritage Store Rosewater Facial Toner is my favorite), then 2) the retinol cream, and then 3) the CosRx snail mucin essence on top, followed by 4) my night moisturizer (currently using Good Light Order of the Eclipse hyaluronic cream). That routine of sandwiching the retinol in between hydrating/soothing products has kept me from experiencing any of the dryness/irritation that retinol can cause (I have fairly reactive skin and I'm prone to eczema, so I'm careful with actives). The nights I don't use retinol I've been using Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum or Peach Slices Redness Relief (azelaic acid serum) lately, but always followed by the CosRx snail mucin!
Snail mucin products is by far my favorite. Been using for several years now. It’s the only thing I use alongside squalane oil. It keeps my eczema at bay and skin hydrated. Nothing else on the market works. Everything else makes my eczema worse and dries my skin out terribly. I use CosRX brand
Funny how some products work for some and not for others. Cosrx essense did NOTHING to me. I used it for like six months and it was like using water. But I've heard this same claim about their propolis toner, and yet my skin loves it.🤷🏻♀️
I’ve been using cosRX snail mucin power essence for at 2 years. I’m almost 33. I have been using some form of retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, and sunscreen since I was 21. I have been completely consistent since then. Over the last 2 years I have seen the best skin of my life.

Can you use snail mucin as a conductor for micro current devices?
At 32 years old, deciding to care about face care is different.
I started with CeraVE am & pm moisturizer and some other various things.
Gonna get some vitamin c serum, toner and this.
Do my best to tackle this new routine/habit.

Hello! Can i ask what else have you used for your hypertension? Thank you ❤
Hyperpigmentation? Really? Any other product suggestions?
Same. I was worried about allergic reactions, but I can actually use this product to soothe my skin if some other product makes it angry.
@@lerularaHey, I got hyperpigmentation after RF microneedling( my skin gets HP after any kind of procedure). My doc gave me Kojic acid , hydroquinone. It does bleach the skin but also gave me redness. I started using this cream and it did wonders for my redness and hp. I can definitely see the difference. I would suggest use this if you are using any acids or tretenoin as they might irritate your skin. This will help to soothe and hydrate
I’m interested in it helping your hyperpigmentation. I have found it great for moisturizing but haven’t seen any lightening. I’ve just begun using though
!
I'm highly allergic to dust mites (confirmed by allergy skin test) and yet CosRX snail mucin has had no detrimental effects on me! I use the essence and moisturizer daily!
Thank you for sharing!
Can't relate 😢
Me too, no issues with this product despite dust mite allergy.
Same here. I'm so glad I get no bad effects from this. 🙂
This is good to kno
I wanna try it but worried
I was so skeptical, but surprising it has made a HUGE difference in my skin! It’s a must now in my skincare for day/night routine.
Love the ingredient focused videos! Would definitely love a overrated/underrated video for ingredients that are more common in Korean and Japanese skincare products.
So glad to see this! I have been using the Cosrx snail mucin for months. I am 68, lifelong acne prone skin and of course aging. I find the mucin is hydrating and does not irritate.
@3:00 thank you for explaining that they try not to harm the snails. That’s a very important point for me.
Who cares about snails.
True@@RealSuccessForAll
@@RealSuccessForAllI do very much!
Things that can feel stress of any kind, regardless of whether or not it's the same kind of stress as we experience, tend to reap negative health benefits from being stressed. It costs nothing to be compassionate. For example, this is why I dispatch fish that I catch by using Ike Jime. Less stress to the fish before it dies. It's proven that the cortisol lowers the quality of the meat, so I would wager that it hurts the fish itself and thus I care not to hurt it any more than I need to. @@RealSuccessForAll
Do u eat meat 😭😭
Snail mucin helped erase acne marks on my cheeks and totally erased my pigmentation around mouth. I started with cerave face wash, cosrx snail mucin essence, ending with elf holy hydration moisturizer (I tried blue and violet both, they worked just fine) and Hawaiian tropic sunscreen in the morning 50+. That's all and my skin is glowing. I did this for 1 whole year where I had cystic acne due to PCOD and dry patches on sides of my mouth with itchiness and pain. It's worked wonders for my skin and repaired my skin barrier.
TIP: Use it on eyes as well. It helps with dark circles. 😘
Same. I use the COSRX and it is the only thing that helped my hyperpigmentation on my checks and nose. I tried Musely and it didn’t do anything. This is one of my most favorite products.
@heeeq0I have found once it is rubbed into the skin the stickiness dissipates a bit. I haven’t had any issues with using moisturizer over the snail mucin I use.
@@vchafabwhy is hyperpigmentation so hard to get rid of ?! Ugh
@heeeq0after it dries
Thanks for the tips. I use tret once a week, would you suggest tret let that dry then snail (which one 92 or 96??) then moisturizer last?
This is the only ingredient that personally I would feel comfortable slugging. My skin never broke out even after multiple multiple layers of this stuff. It's that good. My skin has never been better.
I have used snail mucin creams for the last 8 years or so and I love them. They have different ones in local Asian markets at different price points. I have had the CosRx cream in the jar for a year now and I use it after exfoliating or when I need some extra hydration. It goes on sale at Ulta every once in a while. Thank you for the info!
"I SLUGGED THE SLUG!!" I just love you guys 😂❤
I’m 64 years old and I still break out. My little friend from Brazil recommended Snail empoule. I ordered it off Amazon 80% snail slime. A month in now and I’m receiving compliments on my skin. They ask if I had something done. 😂 I did break out at first I backed off of daily use and gradually started using it 2 x day. I love the slime! 😂
Does it have to be the snail from Brazil or would one from anywhere work?? Just curious. Thank you 😊
Actually my friend used real snail slime in Brazil. Lol 😂 that was a hard no for me. There is a quite a few snail products on Amazon and I blindly pick one. Fortunately it worked for me. Its made by Mizon. Snail repair intensive Ampoule. ( which is a serum ) I’m a believer who knew snail slime would help with breakouts and wrinkles. 😁
Do you think this will also help with the wrinkles around the lips?
I am 56y and I am struggling with this and I am trying so hard to take care of face
I have used COSRX snail mucin for over a year and I love it. For me personally the hydration from this product lasts longer than TO hylauronic serum. My skin used to be very dry. It’s now normal to dry, being drier more in Winter months. Thanks for your honest review.
Same.
I use corsx too and my face always been smoother. It's amazing.
I start with the small tube one for a few months and now transitioning into the big one.
Dry is a skin type you are born with. Dehydration is a condition.
Started to use it a week ago and my skin looks amazing, I’m shocked
I love it. Works way better than any moisturizer
@@yummymellon4058 I use the serum, haven’t tried the cream yet.
I’m always stunned by all the chemistry info. It’s really interesting!
It does improve scars. I’ve used Benton’s snail bee essence and their steam cream for 2 years straight after having post cystic acne scars (could be seen up close) but recently I’ve noticed that they are all gone. So, in my opinion it does work.
All type of scars? Depressed icepick scars too?
What is the difference between Benton snail serum and moisturiser? I too have cystic acne from time to time.. Which is better to use?
It honestly works wonders for my undereye puffiness, and depuffs my face in general. I tried taking snail mucin out of my routine numerous times over the years but kept bringing it back, my face is just not the same without it 😅
Why would you want to take it out
Same
I’ve been using it for 6 years now. COMPLETELY changed my skin and made it perfect. Only thing that turned my acne prone skin into healthy skin
I have been wanted to use it but I don't know which product to get, which one did you use if you don't mind sharing?
@@isharana6925just get the ones that’s in the end of the video that they reccomend
@@isharana6925cosrx is quite good. The essence
@@isharana6925the face moisturizer. I have it too and it makes the skin feel plump.
What brand do you use???
When I first started looking into Korean skincare I came across Cosrx and their snail gel and it’s been a part of my routine for a couple years now. The past year I’ve also added the essence and I love both of them. The only time I get compliments on my skin is after I’ve put on the snail products. Also I have normal - oily skin and they are very hydrating without making my skin an oil slick.
Snail mucin works better than premium skin care. I suffered from acne for 40 years and nothing worked until I started using snail mucin. Another good product is centella asiatica.
First time I tried this on my oily skin I thought ‘meh’ and preferred HA. Now I’m on Tretinoin and skin is much drier/dehydrated, I love it! Way better than HA and glad I rediscovered it 😊
This video put everything in perspective for me and answered my main question - this has been a super miracle product for many people with eczema BUT it gave me many big allergic reactions and unfortunately I had to stop using it. As a person with high dust allergy, it is my main trigger for my eczema, this would make a lot of sense as to why I had the same reaction to snail mucin. Thank you! ☺️
Seek help from a homoeopath re dust mite allergies - you can desensitize using the homoeopathic dust mite remedy and it is safe to do so. I am a medical doctor by background and while I practised I prescribed homoeopathy too. Now I help people with their health outwith the medical system. I love the way these guys just described the benefits of snail mucin it would be fab if you could address the dust mite allergy situation so you could use it! I have plenty other recommendations for helping with eczema along side but I could imagine due to its healing properties snail mucin would be potentially amazing if you could tolerate it fine.
The Cosrx Snail Mucin 92 All In One Cream is one of my holy grail moisturisers. I've gone through so many jars and tubes by now. In summer it's enough for me by itself, but in winter I love to put La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast Baume B5+ on top. My dehydrated acne-prone skin loves it
Thank you for mentioning it's cruelty free, i appreciate that.
I’ve been using the CosRx for a few months and I love it. Very hydrating to my dry skin. It’s good to hear all the good things about Korean beauty. It’s on sale right now on Amazon. BTW, for the past year I’ve been using vitamin c and Olay retinol on my three year old TKR scars and they are much less noticeable.
I've struggled with pretty severe acne for decades and have tried almost everything under the sun. I started using corsx 92 cream last year as my last evening skincare step to let it soak in overnight, and love it. Seems like it's really repaired my face's moisture barrier and balanced out my dry vs oily spots. I do still get some acne, but less, and my blemishes go away and heal faster. It's the only "trendy" skincare product I'm totally bought into.
Dude.. Same. Most moisturizers tend to make shit worse for my acne but this one rocks. Still on the hunt for a sunscreen that won't break me out tho
@@jedrashidul6952same! Sunscreen always breaks me out!!
I have this autoimmune condition where literally everything irritates my skin, except for snail mucin for some reason, it calms my skin like no other. Hence why my entire skin care routine in Snail themed ❤
I used one from a health food shop many years ago. Can’t say I rated it as a moisturiser however, when I burnt myself with boiling water on my leg it blistered and burst. The snail slime gel fixed it in less than three days and I take a while to heal normally . So On that score it was impressive!
@@20thcenturyrelic i doubt it.
@@20thcenturyrelic I already had aquaphor in . I tried it . It did nothing in fact I was concerned it was gong infected at one point . I had the snail slime in and thought sod it I’ll try that. Glad I did now. I also scar badly even with spots I’ll be left with dark marks . Not with this burn though
I am in love with the k beauty product Cosrx!
No allergies, my skin has never felt better, looked better and dewy, glass what ever you want to call it, it works.
I am allergic to dust mites and use the CoSRX with no problems at all....love it!
I've been cycling on and off this for years!!! It soooo calms my ruddy Irish fair skin and plumps it up, keeps it hydrated and fresh looking. Loved it before it was ever hyped or trending as those Korean ladies already knew this years ago. Try it, you'll like it! Love that the biology backs it up. Not surprised. Thx Docs, always informed and with humor! Skincare science and humor....the best!
I forgot how entertaining and knowledgeable your videos are!! I was wondering if you can please share a routine for acne prone skin?
My daughter has been dealing with acne for years and it breaks my heart to see how much it affects her.
My daughter too! I know how they feel. I had terrible acne in my teens and 20's and it's devastating to your self esteem. Nothing helped mine but the thing that's helped my daughter is taking spironolactone and birth control.
@@amyg8761 , thank you 🙏
I am 51 and I love it. My skin changes after one week of using it. I don’t use my old serum at this time
I have been using the CosRx Snail Mucin products for about 3 years. I have been using mainly Korean skin care, too. I am 65 and have been told that i look like im in my 40s. I love the mucin, i slather it on every night on my face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. They also make an eye cream with peptides. Love this stuff.
Love Cosrx essence. Layers really well with sunscreen and cosmetics
My dad always told us the story, how snail cured my aunt asthma. In African culture, our grandma and great grandmother always had a cure for everything, and it work.
How please ?
Cos de Baha snail mucin transformed my skin - I use it every night and utilize the Korean 7 skin method. My skin went from dry, dull, yucky to well moisturized and hydrated within a week. Fine lines and wrinkles have deft diminished over time. Definitely a winner for me.
Im an Esthetitian and i love this ...ty snails..
Thank you for doing this particular video . Way over due !!!
I love this video❤ It’s like the old videos❤. The interaction is the best!!!!!
I use Cosrx mucin 96% then the Cosrx Hyaluronic Creme and to top it off Vaseline at night! Works like a gem! ❤
Love Love LOVE COSRX!!!! Game changer for me! I knew it was good because my skin looked and felt so soft. But when I had compliment after compliment on my skin, I was hooked!
My skin loves this stuff. I just started retinoids and wanted to knock everything to basics but couldn’t let it go and it’s actually gone really well. My whole night routine for the last month this dry MN winter starting retinoids has been:
-Cerave Hydrating Foaming Oil Clenser
-Tretinoin .025 cream
-cosrx snail 96 essence
-cosrx 92 all-in-one cream
-Cerave Healing Balm
I have pretty reactive skin and have been super surprised how quickly my skin adjusted to nightly tret and I know it’s anecdotal but I swear slugging the slug has done me a good turn 🐌 ❤
My dermatologist recommended snail mucin for my hidradenitis suppurativa 20+ years ago
Rightttt. My country made skincare with snail mucin more than 10 years ago. I was surprised it just got so popular now!
@@pins.5979 Elicina from Chile 😊
Did it work?
Hey, which part of your body do you have HS on? And do you apply it regularly on your body?
@@tanmayisurampudi6778 I have it on my underarms and groin. Benzoyl peroxide cleanser helped clear up my right underarm. Along with rx clindamycin topical solution. One day do the cleanser, one day do the topical. Everyday with the cleanser can be a bit irritating. Massage onto the area for one minute, let it sit for one min, rinse off for one minute. You can also reduce strength and/or frequency if it’s too irritating.
Im curious as to how snail mucin would help hs though.
Ive been using it for 3 weeks on and off in the morning only. I had this dark spot on my nose that i had been noticing getting bigger within the past 3 years. Yesterday i noticed something different about the texture in it. I tried scratching it and it definately was not peeling. Today i woke up to notice it was half the size and 50% lighter!!!! I can't wait to see what it will do with the other spots on my face🎉 i am in my late 40s with very oily skin. I love that it's so hydrating and doesn't feel heavy or sticky on my skin.
COSRX snail mucin essence has worked well for me on burns as well as wounds, seborrheic dermatitis, and general skin inflammation and irritation.
It was hard to get over the initial 'ick' factor but as someone with menopausal (dry, acne prone, sensitive) skin who uses Retin A, I've experienced remarkable results using the snail mucin from CosRX. I used to poo poo it but there's no denying there's a benefit. And the CosRX 96 cream lasts a very long time - so cost effective as well!
Of course Dr. Shah would appreciate the "dewiness" of the mucin and it's got to be cheaper than that expensive nectar product for post-procedure care.
way cheaper!
I’ve been using the CosRx essence since 2018 and my skin loves it. I’ve slathered it on my kids sunburns and it’s dramatically reduced peeling. We also use it on cuts and my son’s eczema (with Aquaphor on top). The texture really is similar to aloe.
@@aria_1010maybe u could try at a nykaa store?
Absolutely nothing (prescription or over the counter) had been able to calm down my red and irritated excema on my neck and ears until I tried snail mucin! In one day I saw improvement and in a week my neck and ears were free of any redness! I am sold!
I love the CosRx all in one. Is moisturizing and doesn’t break me out. The slime texture is fine-not much worse than Neutrogena hydro boost cream. It lasts for a few seconds then feels just like normal cream.
I learned about snail mucin in Ecuador, year 2006. They sold creams, gels etc. at local indigenous markets. And I thought: never ever! These poor people have to use what you find in the Amazonas jungle so they use even snails 😂 At that time, nobody was talking about this ingredient. I still did not use it because I was afraid of animals suffering for my skin care.
Its cruelty free, the cosrx one I think
I am allergic to dust. I have eczema. I love my snail mucin.
Dust or dust mites?
I bought it on a whim because it was on sale and had good reviews. I have super dry skin!! It’s been so good at hydrating my skin. Just started using so not sure of long term effects. But it’s definitely helped with my hydration.
Dr. Shaw, I just saw you yesterday on a Paula's Choice commercial...congrats and it's about time they recognized!!
I was a skeptic but this has completely changed my skin. The addition of this and investing in good quality sunscreen has completely cleared my skin. This is legitimately the first time in probably 15 years if not more that I haven't had consistent acne. The scarring is almost gone as well. The only time I've noticed any type of breakout since starting snail mucin has been when I'm on my period and even then its not every single month so I'll gladly take it. Personally I do like to use it on damp skin though.
With one do you use ?
@hdw1113 My Walmart sells the Cosrx brand so I've stuck with that one.
I have definitely loved it’s effects. I had skin irritated from traveling and sun and it healed it up. I also find putting it on my cheeks before I work out means I am less irritated by sweat during the workout. Would you consider doing a video on K-beauty more generally? The essences and toners and 10-step processes?
I used snail mucin about 10 years ago and I couldn't see the difference or benefits on my skin. However, technology probably advanced since then so maybe I'll give it another try. Also, I was a lot younger. My skin wasn't in rough shape. I'll try a different brand this time around. I do think it does help with wound healing. Many years ago my dog jumped on my face and accidentally scratched my eye. I decided to apply the snail eye cream to test it and next day it was almost fully healed. I was impressed but wasn't sure if I owed it to that.
This is exactly the information I was looking for regarding snail mucin. Also so much fun to watch. Love your videos. Thanks!
Love Coserx snail mucin.I have used for years.After my husband had Mohs and reconstructive neck and facial surgery, he used it and is also hooked.
You need to use it on a wet face! I absolutely love it , it is so good when your face is sensitive due to retinol or sunburn , I use it everyday
Why would you engage in research that involves a facial biopsy? As a participant in the multi-site tretinoin clinical trials, i did it to clear my acne! I still have the punch biopsy scar where my fine lines had been before the trial. That particular study concluded in the successful launch of Renova, a fact I discovered when I later opened a popular magazine and saw an advertisement featuring before and after photos of my eyes taken during the study!
The punch biopsy is by your eyes?!
Thanks for this great video! I’ve used serums and moisturiser with snail mucin quite a few years ago when it was so hyped up in south Korea, as the star ingredient! I must say it has helped so much in my hydration levels in my dehydrated skin, also with post fractional laser procedures. It’s also quite gentle on my skin (I’ve quite sensitive skin). I used Tony Moly, but nowadays a lot of Korean brands have it. ☺️👍🏻
This stuff is good. I purchased it for my daughter who has some type of fungal rash on her chin fairly recently. Nothing else we used worked to clear the thing up.
I purchased the snail mucin because I remembered when she was a baby I bought something online which was made by a chemist and it had snail mucin in it. She had this menacing rash on her face at the time and it was the only thing that worked for her skin.
I use it too. I think it has good healing properties.
I am not a huge fan of snail mucin, but I think it definitely has a place in skincare. I personally think it really does help with soothing skin irritation and aid in healing wounds, as long as you aren't allergic to snail. I often used the cosrx snail mucin essence on the bridge of my nose to soothe the irritation due to the weight of my glasses.
I had an allergic reaction to snail mucin. It’s important to find out if you’re allergic or not before to apply it on your face
I'm having an allergic reaction right now...making my skin itchy
I ended up with LOTS of little bumps all over my face, then I tried a different brand and now I'm currently healing some big Cystic pimples.( I hadn't had a break out this bad in few years) when I stopped using it my skin got so ooo much better. I wanted to like it sooooo much, but it just wasn't for me. What my skin DOES love though is rice formulas.anything with fermented rice.
i had one turns out i was using it oo often i only use it 3 times a week now.
Same, I had redness and buffinies after using it
Some say that it is related to dust mite allergy. However. I don't experience irritation and instead soothing while using the cosrx96 snail mucin serum.
Please...Talk to us about the Aloe! I have a plant and don't really know what to utilize it for. Also, address the fact that many plans look like Aloe Vera and are not.
Thanks for reviewing this topic! Still not sure I'll be doing it any time soon but now I feel more knowledgeable if I want to in the future 😄
So happy you addressed the safety and ethical concerns regarding the snails. No matter how trendy or effective the product, that’s should be the most important consideration for people.
I find it incredibly hydrating. I use the cream one in the winter only. There's a Peach Slices version of a serum that is really lightweight and not slimy at all that I use in the warmer months. Great ingredient.
Bro it was trending 2 years ago too. I dont understand how these fads fade in and out of popularity without everyone realizing we already did this 😅
I used a product from South America in early 2000’s and it definitely helped reduce my facial scars. Everyone pulled their faces when I mentioned what it was and family still joke about it now. 😂
What was it
@@scrumptious9673 Elicina
I’ve used the CozRX mucin and it really makes my skin very soft and it’s not irritating. Flies on with no sticky residue. I have mature skin so anything that helps make it softer I’m in!
Loved this video. The texture and thought... I can't 😂but love to see how this may evolve over time to be included in more products, like hyaluronic acid.
I've been using snail mucin for about a year now. And people look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I put it on my face. But I love it! Especially after microneedling :)
Thanks so much for this! I was one who suggested this topic during your last Instagram live and so happy to see it here!
COSRX does the 92 in a tube now, way easier and less messy to use than the jar. I love it, it makes my skin look & feel amazing
I have managed to fit both AHAs and tretinoin into my skin care regime (but not at the same). I like snail mucin afterwards because it is so soothing, and retinoids and acids are known for being harsh. I even spike my Cosrx snail essence with a little centella asiatica extract (aka gotu kola, cica) although I think I will try licorice extract next time in addition.
What about a video about necks? 😂 neck skincaree
I use Promoter Repair Cell Moisture from TOV also known as House of PLLA. It has PLLA, PGA Plant Collagen, 4GF and Snail Mucas Filtrate. I first use Caviplla then apply the Promoter Moisturizer. It gives the glass skin look that lasts all day! Skin feels so moist and soft. I'm 68 years wise and I must tell you - you need to try this. A game changer
I have been using Cosrx for years now and I've found that it is most hydrating if I dampen my skin first! I'm older now, but I used to get an occasional acne. The snail mucin healed any open sore or wound, so I have used it on my arms and legs, not just on my face. Some other moistuizers make me break out, but this doesnt! It does feel like there is a tightening effect. I use it twice a day, and after a shower all over my body!
The woman with the damn snail on her FACE??? Wtf?!!? 😮
I use the essence daily and absolutely LOVE it! Thank god it doesn’t have any smell or fragrance, otherwise I might be grossed out by it. Now I swear by it, and will be repurchasing over and over.
I’ve been using snail mucin off and on since 2017 but became very consistent in 2021. It has changed my skins moisture content tremendously. I also had chronic, dry, cracked lips that never improved no matter what I used. Snail mucin healed my lips in days. I’ll never be without this serum.
Uh huh, you use snail mucin on lips?
Hi DOCTORLY! Could you do a review on these new cult favourite Age-R Booster H beauty devices from Medicube and whether it’s truly working or just Placebo effects? Thank you!!! Enquiring from Singapore 🇸🇬
Cosrx snail products are incredible to heal the wounds after micro needling, love it so so much!
I started using the CosRx snail mucon essence in 2020 and it's become a holy grail product for me; I still use it everyday in both my AM and PM routines. I have grown to love the texture/viscosity of it and it pairs wonderfully with retinol for me, which cab otherwise slightly irritate my skin during drier winter months.
How do you use it with retinol? I just bought essence and cream (CosRx), and still not sure how to incorporate it with other stuff... And what retinol do you use? 😊
@@tratincica2211 I use Good Molecules Gentle Retinol Cream every other night. I use 1) a hydrating toner (Heritage Store Rosewater Facial Toner is my favorite), then 2) the retinol cream, and then 3) the CosRx snail mucin essence on top, followed by 4) my night moisturizer (currently using Good Light Order of the Eclipse hyaluronic cream). That routine of sandwiching the retinol in between hydrating/soothing products has kept me from experiencing any of the dryness/irritation that retinol can cause (I have fairly reactive skin and I'm prone to eczema, so I'm careful with actives). The nights I don't use retinol I've been using Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum or Peach Slices Redness Relief (azelaic acid serum) lately, but always followed by the CosRx snail mucin!
It's always your outro for me, so informative about to try the Corsx products
Snail mucin products is by far my favorite. Been using for several years now. It’s the only thing I use alongside squalane oil. It keeps my eczema at bay and skin hydrated. Nothing else on the market works. Everything else makes my eczema worse and dries my skin out terribly. I use CosRX brand
aloevera gel with turmeric will give you similar benefits for more hydration you can combine it with HA serum and apply moisturizer afterwards.
Funny how some products work for some and not for others. Cosrx essense did NOTHING to me. I used it for like six months and it was like using water. But I've heard this same claim about their propolis toner, and yet my skin loves it.🤷🏻♀️
