[REVIEW] COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream

This is the complementary item for the snail mucin essence that I reviewed previously. This cream is probably one of my top 5 favourite skincare product of all time. It is the perfect everyday moisturizer for my oily skin, as it isn't too thick or too heavy.

The product comes in a little jar with the classic minimal packaging of all COSRX products. It has a yellow label with black font much like the snail mucin essence.

When you open up the container, there is another plastic lid inside and a small spatula. This second lid keeps your product fresh and prevents unwanted debris from contaminating your product. I'm also a big fan of the spatula that comes with it; it makes it so much easier to get the right amount of cream out of the container and also keeps your product sanitary because you're not sticking your hands directly into the container.

I got this product over 2 months ago and I threw out the box that it came in, but I found the ingredients list online. The product contains 92% snail mucin (snail secretion filtrate) and the remaining 8% are made up of the other ingredients. The ingredients list may look long but just remember that they make up a very small percentage of the composition of the cream. Another notable ingredient is sodium hyaluronate which is the salt of hyaluronic acid. Sodium hyaluronate can be found in many moisturizers because it can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water; this makes the cream very hydrating and also can help with minimizing the effects of aging (Source: https://goo.gl/OQbbx0)

I've been using this snail mucin cream before sunscreen in my morning routine and after my Vitamin C serum in my evening routine. Between using this and the COSRX snail mucin essence, I have felt a significant improvement in my skin's texture. My skin has gotten noticeably softer and my acne scars have slightly lightened. Although it is a fairly thick cream, it doesn't feel heavy and doesn't make my skin oily at all. I have oily skin and this cream works great for me as a moisturizer but I've heard that if you have dry skin, than you might need to use another moisturizer to supplement this cream.

The cream is slightly sticky because of the snail mucin but not sticky in an uncomfortable, icky way. It applies smoothly onto the skin and absorbs fairly quickly. After about 5 minutes, there won't be any residue left on your skin.

I've only had this product for about 2 months and as you can see in the picture above, I'm almost out of it. This product is very affordable at $24 (Canadian dollars) and you get a lot of product for what you pay. This is one of my holy grail products and will most definitely repurchase again.
