Customer Reviews
The product holds a 4.5-star rating on Amazon. Gloria commented: 'Best serum I ever purchased, is suitable for dry skin and leaves the skin hydrated. Good for people with textured skin or suffering from dark spots, it does the job. Recommended, Korean skincare is always the best.'
Bianka shared: 'I did extensive research looking for something to fix my deep dehydration and acne issues without causing breakouts. I want to emphasise that it’s the combination of this essence used together with my new Korean skincare routine that gave me insane results from the very first use. By using them together, my skin was so deeply hydrated and plumped up that my pores became a lot less visible overnight! This essence fits perfectly into the system, melting into the skin weightlessly to provide a beautiful, healthy glow without clogging my pores.'
Emily noted: 'Bought this due to the hype online and have been using consistently for almost two weeks now. A good product to add to a skincare routine but not a holy grail IMO. Can help to achieve glass skin, but not on its own. See this as an active skin product - you will need to cleanse, tone, use this then apply moisturiser and serums.'
However, VK offered a critical perspective: 'This product is honestly overhyped and pushed a lot by influencers, when in reality it’s pretty average. It does soak in very well and has a calm, cooling effect on the skin, but that’s about it. For such a well-reviewed and popular product, you’d expect a decent dispenser that distributes the product evenly, but it’s actually awful, which is disappointing.'
Chloe added: 'I absolutely love the COSRX Snail Mucin! The texture is so unique but in the best way! It’s lightweight, slightly stretchy, and absorbs really nicely into the skin without feeling heavy or sticky. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly hydrated, smooth, and nourished. I’ve noticed such a nice, healthy glow since using it, and my skin just feels more plump and balanced overall. It’s especially great when my skin is feeling a bit dry or irritated – it really helps to calm and restore it.'
