The viral Korean snail mucin essence trusted by 375+ shoppers — 96.3% snail secretion filtrate for deep hydration, barrier repair, and visibly faded acne scars.

Why 96% snail mucin changes everything

Most essences are mostly water. The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is 96.3% snail secretion filtrate — the highest concentration of any COSRX snail product — leaving only a minimal supporting cast of gentle humectants. Snail mucin is a multitasking natural ingredient containing hyaluronic acid, glycoproteins, allantoin, and elastin, which together hydrate deeply, support wound healing, and help smooth the appearance of acne scars, dark spots, and fine lines over time.

What snail mucin actually does for your skin

• Deep, lasting hydration — snail mucin is a powerful humectant that draws and locks in moisture without heaviness or residue
• Barrier repair — strengthens the skin's protective layer, reducing sensitivity and reactivity over time
• Acne scar fading — glycoproteins in mucin support skin cell regeneration, helping fade post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation
• Anti-aging — collagen and elastin components help maintain skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines
• Soothing — allantoin calms redness and irritation, making this ideal for post-breakout or reactive skin
• Glass skin glow — lightweight formula absorbs instantly, leaving a natural, healthy luminosity

Snail 96 vs. Snail 92 — what's the difference?

The Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a lightweight, watery essence with 96.3% snail secretion filtrate — focused purely on hydration, repair, and glow. It layers under other products and is absorbed immediately. The Snail 92 All-In-One Cream is a thicker, richer cream that functions as a one-step moisturizer. If you want a dedicated essence step or have oily/combination skin, the Snail 96 is the one.

Ethically sourced — no snails harmed

COSRX uses a humane, cruelty-free extraction process. Snails are placed on a mesh surface and allowed to move freely — the mucin they naturally secrete is collected without causing harm. Fragrance-free, sulfate-free, and paraben-free.
