What is the Snail 92 Cream?
It is an all-in-one moisturiser whose star ingredient is snail secretion filtrate at 92%, one of the highest concentrations on the market. Snail mucin is naturally rich in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid, so this single product hydrates, soothes and supports repair at once. The texture is a light, slightly bouncy gel-cream that absorbs without feeling heavy.
What it does for skin
Three things stand out. It delivers lasting hydration and a plump, bouncy finish. It calms irritation and redness, which makes it a favourite for stressed or blemish-prone skin. And it supports the skin's repair process, helping marks and rough texture look smoother over time. It is a do-it-all moisturiser rather than a targeted treatment.
92% snail mucin in a light gel-cream that hydrates, soothes and repairs in one step.
Who it suits
Its lightweight texture makes it versatile across skin types.
| Skin type | Good fit? |
|---|---|
| Normal / combination | Yes, a great everyday moisturiser |
| Oily / blemish-prone | Yes, light and soothing |
| Sensitive | Yes, gentle and calming |
| Very dry | Layer over a richer cream in winter |
How to use it
Apply it as your moisturiser step, after your toner and serum, morning and night. A little goes a long way, press it gently into the skin. In the morning, follow with SPF. If your skin is very dry, you can use it under a richer cream as a hydrating layer rather than the final seal.
Frequently asked questions
Is COSRX Snail 92 good for acne-prone skin?
Yes. It is lightweight, soothing and helps calm redness, which suits blemish-prone skin. Snail mucin can also help post-acne marks look smoother over time.
Can I use it morning and night?
Yes. Use it as your daily moisturiser twice a day. In the morning, always follow with sunscreen.
Is the Snail 92 Cream a moisturiser or a serum?
It is an all-in-one moisturiser with a high snail mucin content, so it hydrates and treats in one. You can still layer a dedicated serum underneath if you wish.
Does snail mucin feel sticky?
This formula is a light gel-cream that absorbs cleanly. Used in a sensible amount, it should not feel sticky once patted in.
