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 moisturizer. Essences are just additional hydrating steps BEFORE your moisturizer. Also, for sensitive skin types who react badly to AHA/Alpha Hydroxy Acids (i.e. lactic acid, glycolic acid, etc.), there's a potential chance for irritation as snail mucin has a very low dose of naturally occurring AHA. Allergies to shellfish/mollusks and dust mites may also not have the best reaction to snail mucin either. Anyway, this stuff keeps my skin soft and is a protective step for the winter air for me currently. It also soothes my angry acne when I pick. It's also safe to put under the eye (test this before trying, of course), so I use it as an extra layer of moisture before my eye cream. I use four pumps which is one more pump than you really need, but I like a thick layer of this stuff. My skin just drinks it up. I spray Mario Badescu's Rosewater mist on my skin first, so it soaks in even faster.
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 around my eyes and my neck to see if it does any long term anti aging.

Just bought this mini one on Saturday because TikTok made me LOL. Used it 3 times and ALL the congestion of my skin is GONE!!! I'm seeing the skin I used to have before I turned 30! I'm going to buy the big one and get more minis as gifts for family

I wanted to love this….. i tried using it faithfully for about 2 weeks but it doesn't absorb unless you only use this 1 product on your face. Its sticky and then sits on top of your face all day, not sure it's doing anything for my face. So many swear by it so I really tried. I really dont think this does anything deep in your skin at all, i dont think it penetrates down and i think it inhibits other products from working if you put anything on after this. I am a skin care fanatic, so i have used many products and this is not one that im going to continue to use or would recommend.

who wouldve thought that snail secretions would be one of the best skincare trends, and for good reason. i saw results overnight after just one use, and i woke up to smooth, even, plump skin. i bought the mini bottle to give it a try and i will definitely be buying the full-size bottle once it runs out. the only downside i can see is well… the origins of the product. i mean, putting slimy snail goop on your face isnt exactly appealing to most people, but thats on them and theyre totally missing out

I have pretty good skin naturally but its dryer and i get texture here and there so i wanted to try this because if all the reviews. It onky gave me more texture and my smile line is 10x more noticeable since i started using this. I used it correctly and applied to damp skin but i felt it did not hydrate, nor exfoliate. My skin was glowing before and after using this for a couple of weeks its dull and just does not look as good. I know it will work different for everyone but i think a lot of the hype over this is just trendy

I've had this bottle forever and it's helped dry, sensitive skin so much

this product is extremely hydrating and gives me a natural glow and soft feeling skin. however, if you are looking to treat acne with this product, it isn't a cure-all. i struggle with hormonal acne. after only a few days, i noticed that my bigger spots got smaller or went away, but i did notice more smaller spots/closed comedones come up. i use my snail mucin with benzoyl peroxide and glycolic acid. the snail mucin helps to combat how drying bp is. it doesn't completely clear skin, but definitely improves larger/painful/inflamed spots!

I put a lot into my skincare routine. As a result, I have pretty even skin, before using this product. I added this mucin to my regimen, and it kicked everything up 10 notches! My skin looks radiant. My mother thought I was wearing makeup after about 2 weeks of use, and I was not wearing any makeup at all. I have combination skin, with very few sensitivities. If you're like me, this will be a game changer for you.

Dog Mom from Morgan Hill, Ca
I wore this a few times wishing that it wasnt this product that caused little bumps on my skin. I have highly reactive skin. I also wore it on special occasians because I felt it made my skin look amazing. Although I didnt like how I needed days after for my skin to recover. It is very sticky although it absorbs on your skin you dont notice. I usually dab product on 5 points but cant with this one because the "slime" stretches lol and can get in eyes or on mouth. So watch out for that. Will have to return. I wonder if there is a less concentrated option of this product I can try for same glass skin effect.

Very pleased with this product. It went on smoothly and easy to apply within two weeks time. I can see the difference in my skin.

I have combination skin therefore, my cheeks tends to be normal to dry often. I thought the snail mucin might help with hydrating that part of my face but frankly, my skin felt more dry than usual. Also, my forehead now has these small bumps.
Kai from Va
I am absolutely in love with the snail mucin. Ive never been one for routines but everytime I stop using it my skin just goes downhill. I have really dry, acne prone and fairly sensitive skin. This has helped improve my moisture barrier so much. Make sure ur face is damp before application (I use the pink Mario Badescu hydrating spray) and DONT FORGET TO APPLY MOISTURIZER AFTERWARDS. The snail mucin works miracles as long as you do the right prep and finishing work.
Sophie from chicago, IL
i love most peoducts by cosrx but their snail mucin line is by far my favorite, specifically this essence. I use it all the time, either under my makeup and at night before my moisturizer. I truly do think this is definitely something everyone should have
Hails from Jackson Michigan
I didn't really expect it to work for me, but i literally used it twice and my super dry, red and rough patches has gotten so much better, im honestly amazed. I have super sensitive skin so im always nervous to try new things. Im gonna buy a 2nd bottle after im done with this one
K from Ex. Dickinson ND
This is a very great product I'm so happy that i finally got my hand on it and now my skin looks great!
Nyla from NJ
My skin has bever looked better. This product evened out my texture, tone and brightened my skin. Im very acne prone and this really helps my breakouts. 10/10
MeowQueen95 from Texas
I have heard countless good things about this product and saw the hype all over YouTube shorts and skin care videos! I picked up a bottle and sweet baby Jesus, it is AMAZING! My skin is so clear and glowy! I use it every night with my PM skin routine! I'm so happy I broke down and bought this! I don't think I can do without it, now! If you want to try it, get the trial size or get the big one because it's definitely worth the money!

I never usually follow tik tok trends, but for some reason this one got me. I bought snail mucin about a week ago, and have been uaing it morning and night—my skin has actually never looked better. before I started using this, I put a product in my face that I ended up being allergic to, and pretty much burned the first layer of my skin off. it felt like sand paper and hurt SO bad. I started using this which reduced the redness, and got rid of my blemishes it also sucked allllll the moisture into my skin FAST (I needed it). I was so sad I ruined my skin, but happy it happened because this stuff really turned it around. if youre skeptical about buying this, DONT BE. ITS WORTH EVERY LAST PENNY
Yazzmin from Porter ranch
I purchased this about a week ago and I already see a difference. I'm getting compliments on how my skin looks smooth, glowy and hydrated. It has also helped with some texture I have on my skin. The snail mucin goes well with their all in one cream.
Shirley from IL
Didn't think I would like this but I do! Looks great Uber your makeup.
