What the gurus are saying

This cream earns consistent praise for delivering deep hydration in a surprisingly lightweight formula that feels tacky but not heavy, making it work equally well for oily, combination, and dry skin types. Gurus particularly love its plumping effect on fine lines and its gentle, barrier-supportive makeup of snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and allantoin. One important caveat: the slight tackiness from snail mucin lingers on the skin, which means those with very dry skin may find it too water-cream-like on its own and benefit from layering it under a richer moisturizer, while people allergic to dust mites or crustaceans should avoid it altogether. Many gurus suggest applying it to damp skin to boost hydration and find it especially effective as an eye cream or sleeping mask.

"I am one of those old school K beauty enthusiasts who would put the COSRX all-in-one snail cream around and use it as a budget friendly eye cream. And I actually really like the results of that. For me what I love about this is the snail. It's definitely got like a snail-like texture with like blended into a cream which I really enjoy. It's got this very medium gel cream like texture. It is quite stiff but it does glide on the skin really beautifully and it is quite plumping like you would expect a snail product to be. And I actually find that really helpful because I do have some very very superficial fine lines that are getting deeper."

Ranking My Skincare Empties with Emojis! Summer '23 Edition
"The COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream is totally underrated. It's a really nice barrier supportive cream with some good occlusivity to it and it is very very gentle too. I don't necessarily use this as a full face moisturizer, but occasionally I will do a full layer on all of my face and then I'll top it off with another moisturizer. This cream doesn't really have the level of occlusivity that my skin needs, but I love how this makes my skin feel. The quality of this is so amazing, it's hydrating, really plumping, and lightly moisturizing. I love to put this underneath my eyes and around my nose. This is fluffy, it's moisturizing, it's got that medium weight feel that I really gravitate towards. It's enough occlusivity to fight dehydration and it makes my skin feel really silky and conditioned and soft. There's a very generous jar that keeps on giving, and I love this so much."

"It's thick, but it's not so thick you have to push it. It spreads really easily. It melts into your skin. It has still a kind of a lighter body despite being so rich. Snail mucin as an ingredient we know is incredibly beneficial for the skin. And I actually love how it sits on the skin. It's a lighter weight moisturizer, but it really brings a ton of just deep, deep hydration. It's light, non-greasy. If you have oily skin, you'll still like it. If you have combination skin, you'll still like it. But the amount of hydration it adds and the way it sets, perfect. The way that it plays with the skin is just really unlike anything else. And it keeps you super hydrated and dewy without being very heavy. If you're drier, it will leave you with moisture. If you're oilier, it won't leave you with that feeling that you don't like where you feel oily. So it really is just such a balanced moisturizer."

"You could use the Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream, it's very hydrating. Snail mucin has so much evidence on healing skin and sensitive skin, it's like a great foil for irritation, even for eczema, atopic dermatitis."
Approved
"I kind of consider it almost like a mask, but leave on mask. I kind of use it as a sleeping mask more than moisturizer. But when it gets really dry in the winter, I do use it as a moisturizer. It's fragrance free, alcohol free. It's got snail mucin, [panthenol], [allantoin], adnosine. It's got a creamy lotiony texture to it. It's goopy and it takes a long time to soak in."

"This is another one I've already purchased dozens of times, the Cosrx All in One Snail Cream. It's lovely. What I love, it's an 11 oz bottle, which is amazing, and it's 11 bucks. This is another one I've probably repurchased not as much as the other one because this tends to last a little bit longer since the bottle is 2.1 oz, so it's a little bit bigger. But yeah, I've repurchased this many, many times. Really nice for calming skin down, use after microneedling, after laser, things like that. Very nice product. Snail mucin is great for your skin."

"I also adore the cream, which comes in this set. The cream is much thicker. I like to stack them when I'm really feeling zesty, the serum, and then the cream. But sometimes I just use one or the other. You could do a moisture sandwich, snail mucin power essence, retinoid, snail mucin cream. Or you could just use the power essence alone as the bottom layer and maybe your retinoid and cream alone is enough of a top moisturizer."

"I absolutely love because you get a small sample of the cream as well as the power Essence and then you can try the cleanser and the eye cream for $25 because I feel like snail is one of those things that if you're like me you fall in love with it and you see dramatic results but a lot of people are just like underwhelmed by it or their skin is irritated by it. They now have the cream in a tube which is great because if you've been here for any number of years you know I have accidentally dropped an entire jar of the snail cream all over the bathroom floor and it's ever messy to pick up."

"I like to put it on after I've cleansed the skin while the skin is still a bit damp because it is very humectant rich and hydrating. The stacking of these two products together really smooths out the surface of the skin. My skin feels nice and hydrated. I love using this pairing around the eyes in particular because it really does deliver a nice pack of hydration that lessens those little fine lines and wrinkles. It has a skin plumping effect through its deep hydration and as a result my pores appear much smaller, much less obvious. Just overall textural irregularities seem to smooth out. I absolutely adore this pairing."

"I adore this product. I see results. This is a product that for me works out really well. Not everyone however is keen on this product, the texture, the consistency, the concept is off-putting to many people, but I've got to tell you, anytime I use this product or their snail mucin power essence, I see a noticeable improvement in skin elasticity, smoothness, and the diminishment of pores. It really is a very good product. Snail mucus is hydrating. It has compounds in it that may be helpful for recovery. It's been investigated as an ingredient to help with people who have something called radiation dermatitis. It shows promise there. It has anti-inflammatory compounds. This particular all-in-one cream also has allantoin in it, which is very soothing. It has dimethicone to help reduce water loss but not feel heavy or greasy on the skin. It has panthenol and it has hyaluronic acid. These are both very hydrating ingredients and good for the moisture barrier. I adore this product. If you've never tried it, I highly recommend it."

"The snail 92 all-in-one cream is definitely going to be a little bit more, it's still tacky like the mucin essence, but meant to really deliver rich hydration. I think this one with the formula is more intended for those who are seeking kind of a deeper hydration. It locks in moisture. It doesn't leave, it doesn't feel heavy, but you are going to kind of get a little bit of that slight tackiness from this snail mucin. So great for those who are still wanting a lightweight formula that doesn't feel heavy but slightly kind of just there's something there that you put on your skin. It's really suitable for those who have really dry skin wanting kind of this more intense hydration and repair. With 92% snail mucin secretion filtrate that helps strengthen and nourish damaged skin barrier."
Approved
"The oily person uses the COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream. They apply their Revlon Color Stay Foundation afterwards, beautiful, perfect match. The COSRX moisturizer hydrates but it doesn't make them oily, leaves a very lightweight finish on their skin, and it doesn't clog their pores or make them break out. The dry person uses that moisturizer and then goes in with the foundation, and what happens? Patchiness, cakiness, because the COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream is an extremely lightweight moisturizer, much more of a water cream. They're not providing themselves enough moisture to be able to handle this formula."

"I understand a lot of people are interested in snail mucin right now but some people have been having like legit reactions. If you are allergic to dust mites or crustaceans, don't put snails on your face. And a lot of people are putting this on hoping it'll clear blemishes, but there are no medical studies showing that snail mucin is good for eczema, blemishes, redness, dryness, all of the things that people mention."
Approved
"I like snail mucin quite a bit because snail mucin is full of hyaluronic acid. I like the cream version of this too but it was in a tub but now I hear it's in a tube. The jar was pretty messy where the jar lid would come up and all the slime would come up with it and it get real messy but now if it comes in a tube I'm glad COSRX changed that because I really do like the texture of the cream. This is great to put over damp skin if you put your hyaluronic acid serum on damp skin it's really going to draw in that water because that's what hyaluronic acid does, draws in water like a magnet and then you apply a moisturizer or if you slug over it that's a great hack."
