This nourishing gel-cream is formulated with an impressive 92% Snail Mucin extract to provide deep, lasting hydration and repair irritated skin. Its unique, stringy texture absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling plump, moisturised, and comfortable.

• Best For: All skin types, especially dehydrated, damaged, or irritation-prone skin.
• Key Benefits: Deeply hydrates, soothes redness, repairs the skin barrier, improves elasticity, and helps fade the appearance of dark spots and scars.
• Texture: A lightweight, slimy gel-cream that absorbs without a greasy or sticky residue.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Snail 92 Cream): Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Thicker Layer (PM): In the morning, always follow with sunscreen. At night, this cream is your final moisturising step.

Note: Already own a similar moisturiser? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3-4 steps):

1. Cleanser: Start with a gentle face wash.
2. Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional): A watery layer like the COSRX Snail Mucin Essence can boost hydration.
3. THIS PRODUCT (Snail 92 Cream): Apply a pea-sized amount to lock in moisture.
4. Sunscreen: Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.

Wait times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers, and wait 1-2 minutes after applying the cream before your sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist (3-4 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser, then a water-based cleanser).
2. Targeted Serum (Optional): Apply any treatment serums for concerns like dark spots or wrinkles.
3. THIS PRODUCT (Snail 92 Cream): Apply a slightly more generous amount than in the AM to nourish and repair skin overnight.
4. Sleeping Pack (Optional): For very dry skin, you can use this cream as your final step, or layer a sleeping pack over it 2-3 times a week.

Texture rule: Apply your products from the thinnest consistency to the thickest.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the face; add a little more for the neck.
• Apply to: Face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye and mouth area.
• Method: Scoop a small amount with clean fingers or a spatula, then gently smooth over the skin. Pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Start with once daily (PM) to see how your skin responds, then increase to twice daily (AM and PM) if needed.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin is very oily: Use a smaller amount and focus on a thin layer. In Mauritius's humidity, this might be all you need for moisturisation.
• If your skin is very dry or in air-conditioning: Layer it over a hydrating toner or essence (like the COSRX Snail Mucin Power Essence) for an extra boost of moisture.
• If your skin is sensitive/reactive: This cream is designed for soothing, but always patch test first. Use it as a buffer over stronger actives like retinoids.
• If you're using under makeup: Apply a thin layer and wait 1-2 minutes for it to fully absorb before applying sunscreen or primer. This helps prevent pilling.

Watchouts: Pilling can occur if you use too much product or don't wait long enough between layers. If you experience tiny bumps, you may have a rare sensitivity to snail mucin (sometimes linked to dust mite allergies); discontinue use if this occurs.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

This cream is gentle enough for daily use, both morning and night. It's an excellent "support" product to use alongside stronger actives.

• Daily Use: Apply AM (before sunscreen) and PM (as your last moisturising step).
• When Using Actives: This cream is perfect for "soothing nights" or to use in the same routine as exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids. It helps buffer potential irritation and supports barrier repair.

Example Week (PM Focus):

• Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA), followed by Snail 92 Cream.
• Tue: Retinoid, followed by Snail 92 Cream (the "sandwich method" of cream-retinoid-cream can also reduce irritation).
• Wed: Soothing night (just a hydrating serum and Snail 92 Cream).
• Thu: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA), followed by Snail 92 Cream.
• Fri: Retinoid, followed by Snail 92 Cream.
• Sat & Sun: Soothing nights (hydrating serum and Snail 92 Cream).

Mauritius note: On very hot and humid days, you might use this cream only at night and opt for a lighter gel or just sunscreen during the day.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated, soothed, and plump. Redness may appear calmer. The cream leaves a healthy, dewy glow.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice an improvement in overall skin texture and hydration levels. The skin barrier feels stronger and less reactive. Minor irritations heal more quickly.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of fine lines may be softened due to improved hydration and elasticity. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots from acne) and minor scarring may look visibly reduced.

Individual results vary. Consistent use, especially with daily sun protection, is key to achieving the best results.

• Why use a formulated moisturiser like this, not just a plain oil? While oils can lock in moisture, this cream does more. It contains humectants like Snail Mucin and Sodium Hyaluronate to actively pull water into the skin, and repairing ingredients like Allantoin and Panthenol to soothe and heal. It provides balanced hydration without the pore-clogging risk of some heavy oils.

• Works Well With: Almost everything! It’s an excellent buffer and support product.
  • Hydrators: Pairs perfectly with the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence for maximum hydration.
  • Actives: Can be used after Vitamin C, Niacinamide, AHA/BHA exfoliants, and Retinoids to soothe skin and reduce potential irritation.
  • Sunscreen: Layers well under most sunscreens once allowed to absorb for 1-2 minutes.
• Use Carefully With: No major incompatibilities are known. The primary caution is for individuals with a known allergy to snail mucin or dust mites, as a cross-reaction can occur in rare cases.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Its lightweight gel-cream texture provides hydration without feeling greasy, which is ideal for the Mauritian climate.
• Dry & Dehydrated Skin: A holy grail for many. It deeply moisturises and helps repair the barrier to prevent water loss. Can be layered for extra nourishment.
• Sensitive & Acne-Prone Skin: Highly suitable. It's formulated to soothe irritation, calm redness, and repair damaged skin after breakouts. It is generally non-comedogenic for most users.
• Mature Skin: Beneficial for improving hydration, elasticity, and the appearance of fine lines.

• Damaged or compromised skin barrier
• Dehydration and dryness
• Redness and irritation
• Dullness and rough skin texture
• Post-acne marks and minor scarring
• Loss of elasticity and fine lines

Who should use this: Ideal for anyone seeking intense hydration and skin repair, especially those with dehydrated, damaged, or sensitive skin.

Who should use with caution: While formulated for sensitive skin, those with a known allergy to snail mucin or a severe allergy to dust mites should exercise caution and patch test thoroughly.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: The key ingredients are generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but we always recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new products during this time.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe any reaction.
3. Check again at 48 and 72 hours, as some reactions can be delayed.
4. If you experience any redness, itching, burning, or rash, discontinue use.

• Texture: A unique, stringy, and slimy gel-cream consistency, characteristic of its high snail mucin content.
• Finish: Absorbs surprisingly quickly to a non-greasy, dewy finish, leaving skin feeling soft, plump, and moisturised.
• pH: Approximately 5.5 - 6.5, which is within the skin's natural healthy pH range, making it non-stripping and supportive of the skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, and Stearic Acid, which can be potential triggers for some individuals prone to fungal acne. We advise patch testing if this is a concern for you; individual responses vary.

• Issue: Product feels sticky or isn't absorbing well.
  Fix: You are likely using too much. A small, pea-sized amount is all that's needed. Also, try applying it to slightly damp skin to enhance absorption.
• Issue: Product is pilling (rolling into little balls) under makeup or sunscreen.
  Fix: Wait 1-2 minutes for the cream to fully set before applying the next layer. Using a smaller amount of cream can also resolve this.
• Issue: I'm getting small bumps or whiteheads.
  Fix: Discontinue use immediately. While rare, this could indicate a sensitivity or allergy to snail mucin.
• Issue: My dry skin still feels tight after using it.
  Fix: You may need more hydration underneath. Layer the cream over a watery toner and a hydrating serum (like the matching Snail 96 Mucin Essence) to provide more water for the cream to lock in.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight gel-cream texture is perfect for Mauritius's humidity. It provides ample moisture without feeling suffocating or greasy. Oily skin types might find it sufficient as a standalone moisturiser, especially at night.
• Drier Winter / Air-Conditioning: During the drier months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned spaces, you may want to layer this cream over a hydrating essence or serum to boost its moisturising power.

• Our Sourcing: At Adilsons, we source all our products directly from the brand or their authorised distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.

The benefits of this cream are primarily based on the established properties of its high-concentration active ingredients.

• Ingredient Rationale: Snail Secretion Filtrate is widely documented in dermatological literature to contain beneficial components like allantoin, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and glycoproteins. These work synergistically to hydrate the skin, promote healing and cell regeneration, and improve skin texture.
• Ingredient Rationale: Adenosine is an ingredient officially certified by the Korean MFDS for its anti-wrinkle properties.
• Brand Claim: COSRX states this cream repairs and soothes irritated skin, provides long-lasting hydration, and nourishes the skin. This is consistent with the known functions of its key ingredients. No public dataset from the brand is available for independent verification.

The primary ingredient, snail mucin, is animal-derived. COSRX has stated that the mucin is collected in a way that is safe for the snails: they are placed over a mesh in a quiet, dark room and left to roam freely, leaving mucin in their trails, which is then collected. No external stress is applied to force production. This product is therefore not suitable for vegans, but the brand affirms a commitment to cruelty-free collection methods.

With a generous 100g size, this cream offers excellent value.

• Typical Dose: ~0.5g per application (a pea-sized amount).
• Total Uses: Approximately 200 uses per jar.
• Reorder Cadence (1x/day): The jar will last about 6-7 months.
• Reorder Cadence (2x/day): The jar will last about 3-4 months.

This long-lasting formula makes it a cost-effective choice for a high-performance daily moisturiser.

• Format: 100g plastic jar with a screw-top lid. It includes a small inner lid to keep the product fresh.
• Hygiene: To maintain hygiene, it is recommended to use a clean spatula to scoop out the product rather than your fingers.
• Sustainability: The plastic jar (PP) is recyclable in Mauritius, but please check local guidelines. COSRX is moving towards more sustainable packaging, but this specific product line has not yet been updated to refillable formats.
• Storage & Travel: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The 100g jar is not ideal for carry-on air travel, but the brand offers smaller sizes for convenience.

Aggregated sentiment from independent online communities.

"Holy grail for me... I use tret and I find the snail essence [and cream] is really soothing, especially if I have accidentally used too much tret, or am starting again after a break and my skin is stinging and peely."

"It's a staple for me. Doesn't break out my acne-prone combo-oily skin and helps to soothe and hydrate it. But it definitely doesn't give me glass skin."

"This is a great overnight mask! you wake up with soft, supple skin!... It's great for barrier repair and healing irritated, inflamed ace skin. I tried so many different moisturizers for healing my barrier... but all of them broke my skin. So I had to go back to this."

Fair Caveat: "For me, it's not a bad product (it didn't break me out), but it didn't do much to my skin either. Felt like it just sat on top of my skin and provided minimal hydration, thats about it. I could do with or without."
