Very hydrating, and absorbs immediately!!
I've used a couple of COSRX essences and they're all very hydrating and absorb well. I love this product and use it twice a day. This product works and I will buy again!

Proceed with caution
I used this for a few weeks without any issue, and without warning, it caused a massive breakout of tiny bumps that were itchy and wouldn't go away with the usual acne treatments. After doing some research and consulting with my dermatologist, it seems that this product caused an imbalance in the am...

Love this
I was reflecting back on why my skin was so good during the pandemic, so I remembered I used cosrx back then. I purchased this along with the classic snail mucin. Its been a week and my skin is 100x more hydrated and plump. Deffinitely my new holy grail. This product also smoothed out texture on my skin.
Best COSRX Product I've Tried
If you suffer from dull, dry and red skin, buy this product ASAP! This stuff literally changed my skin in a week. Its my new favorite, and I will be rebuying!
Skin Resilience
I noticed results at after using about 30% - 40% of the bottle. Before that, I was wondering whether or not it did anything. It's not really hydrating, but what it does do is help with skin resilience. My breakouts and PIH lasted half the time. I definitely noticed once I ran out that breakouts and PIH went eight back to before. Because I like trying new products, I will, but I will remember that this worked!
Just OK
This was alright. It did provide some hydration but that was about it. The texture was nice and light, but it felt very sticky/tacky after rubbing it in. I've switched to a different milky toner and that's working better for me.
Might be a holy grail product
Ive been using this in the am for about 3 weeks and i can already see a difference in tone and clarity. It makes me not want to put on makeup, since i dont want to hide my glowing skin! The texture is fantastic as well, it soaks into skin in a matter of seconds and is almost like a water gel.
