Love this essence!
I haven't ordered this product from Ulta, but I purchased it from elsewhere, but I highly recommend this essence. Please note, because this essence not formulated like a moisturizer, unless it's very humid or hot or you have normally hydrated skin, this will NOT be a replacement for your moisturize...

Could be fabulous for some people.
I am 52 and have never been able to use any kind of anti-aging products, I'm getting a little desperate cause my skin is still oily and acne prone plus sensitive. This is light but sticky for 20-30 minutes, it plumps up your skin, it's nice, but it is breaking out my forehead. I'm keeping it to use ...

my holy grail
Okay, let's talk about my holy grail serum: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. I've been using this for years—bought it online, grabbed it at Ulta, and never once had an issue. It's a skincare ride-or-die for my combination, clear-but-textured skin. First things first: yes, it's slimy. Like, actual snail vibes. If you have sensory issues, you might wanna patch test mentally before physically. 😂 But once you get past the texture—whew!—this stuff delivers. ✨ It pairs beautifully with The Ordinary Niacinamide (my old duo days), sinks in like a dream, and gives me that "glass skin" glow without feeling heavy or greasy. I use just a pump or two (a little goes a long way) and it lasts me 3+ months easy, even with daily use. And the bottle? Yeah, it looks small, but it's a deceptive queen—don't underestimate her. People literally stop me to ask what I use. "You're glowing!" "Your skin looks so smooth!"—thank you, snail slime. No stinging, no burning, no white cast. Just plump, juicy, lit-from-within skin. If you're on the fence, consider this your sign. 🐌💧
I would buy this product again
I love this product.
Allergic reaction but I do have sensitive skin
As soon as i put it on the first time my skin burned so bad and turned blotchy and red. I think theres better things out there without finicky risks.
Been using this product for almost 4 years
absolutely love this product been using it for years. I pray this company does not stop making this. This product helps with my overall skin health and appearance. But like all skincare with actives need to know the proper application and what other products you use on skin with product. People need to stop just using skincare products for hype do your research simple as that.
Glass Skin
Love this product! It's a staple in my skincare routine. I like that its hydrating and gives your skin a "glass" like texture.
