    What the gurus are saying

    This essence intensely hydrates and visibly plumps skin to a glass-like finish, an effect experts consistently praise for the resulting radiance. For those using actives like tretinoin or acids, gurus recommend using it beforehand to prep and moisturize skin, which helps prevent the dryness those treatments typically cause. Despite its thicker appearance, it dries down nicely without stickiness.

    "I am a long time proponent lover of snail mucin as a matter of fact part of my current skincare routine is doing the Kerx Advanced Snail Mucin Power Essence as the first step in my moisture sandwich so I put it on damp skin at night then I put on my tread noan and then I put on another moisturizer on top it's a really really hydrating product great for smoothing out the skin surface moisturizing I find that when I use this product consistently I really see a visible difference in the appearance of pores."

    "When my skin is dry and it's irritated, especially during the winter months, I will always incorporate an essence, and the one that I love is the Kerx Advanced Snail Mucin Power Essence. This is basically like glass skin in a bottle. It gives your skin that glass-like look, it looks so healthy, you have this glow to your skin, and your skin has this bounce to it as well. This is a great one to use every day twice a day, or you can just strictly keep this for your nighttime routine. I will use this on my recovery nights when I'm not using tretinoin, and I will also use this when I am using tretinoin, especially in my winter routine. This is exceptional. It also helps to repair your skin barrier, but it's more moisturizing than anything. If you're lacking that moisture and your skin is super dry, tight, and flaky, use an essence. I would say use this one."

    "The Kerx Advanced Snail Mucin Power Essence is a lovely product to add additional moisture, especially if your skin is feeling really tight and dry. I love using this when I'm using my active ingredients because it just ensures that my skin is well prepped and moisturized for those actives that could cause some dryness a few days later. It just keeps everything feeling nice and comfortable. It honestly feels like a thicker serum but it dries down nicely. It doesn't leave your skin tacky or sticky, but you do get this nice radiance with it. I do sometimes use this in my morning routine and it does pair up nicely with sunscreen and makeup, but I especially like to keep this for my night time. If I'm using tretinoin or a direct acid of some kind, or if I'm using copper peptides, I will use this with that as well. You can honestly use this with anything."
    THIS DRY SKIN SKINCARE ROUTINE WILL GIVE YOU THE MOST HYDRATED, MOISTURIZED SKIN EVER!
    "This serum has truly saved my skin when it's in the worst state and also it keeps my skin comfortable and balanced when it's in a good state. It really is a wonderful serum. This is a great product to add more moisture as it also contains hyaluronic acid and panthenol, it can also be very repairing. I will use this in my morning routine a lot as well because it just has that nice texture that works well with makeup and sunscreen. I like to put two pumps of this. I really like how it looks slimy but I promise you when you have this on your skin your skin is not sticky or tacky, everything dries down quite nice but it just has that beautiful formulation and texture where your skin just feels extremely moisturized after you've used this. Great to pair up with your actives if you need something beforehand just to moisturize everything, but this is also great just to use everyday twice a day whether your skin needs it or not. It really is lovely and this will also provide your skin with a little glow as well."
