Are snails harmed in the process of collecting their mucin?
- Asked by Snails
- Official Answer By COSRX - Brand EngageNo. We provide an optimal environment that is harmless to snails and is produced through friendly extraction for minimizing stress. Snails are placed over a mesh in a dark and quiet room, where they are left alone to freely roam about leaving mucin in their trails. We collect mucin from the trails.

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 ...

Ehh..
Im not someone with sensitive skin, at all. Nor have I EVER had breakouts. But this product dried my face out terribly (like, skin peeing off after 1 use) and caued me to breakout all over my forehead.
Dunno what it does but I like it.
Seems to add a lot of moisture. Has become a staple in my routine.
Skincare results I love
First this 3.38 oz plastic bottle lasts for several months. That makes it not only affordable, but a great value. The thin watery gel like texture glides on your skin effortlessly and absorbs quickly. Snail mucin imitates your own skins natural structure. It restores, and strengthens damaged skin , and nourishes healthy skin, giving a soft smooth hydrated finish. If you are sensitive to retinal products, it's a great first step for a nighttime retinal sandwich that is very effective for skin nurturing. This is a K-Beauty brand/profuct. Product. Clinical tested and studied. Snail mucin is rich in Hyaluronic acid, and glycoproteins that boost hydration and calm skin barrier to reduce breakouts and redness. I'm on my third bottle and going on 2 years.
changed my skin for the better!!!!
was gifted this at Christmas time & after using it daily, I will definitely buy this for myself! my skin is more plump, bright, and soft! not to mention, soooo hydrated! will be recommending to all my friends and family. give it a try, you won't be disappointed! the texture is different, but it reminds me of a high end hyaluronic acid serum!
The best of the best
I love this so much . Very good and calming for sensitive skin
