At 32 I had stubborn hormonal acne and dry flaky skin (thanks in part to the dry climate in Colorado) I was tired of constantly fighting my skin and embarked on a journey to get the clear youthful skin I deserved. I was pleased to find that the skin of my dreams in a Korean beauty inspired routine. The best part is that nearly all the products I tried were relatively inexpensive and readily available from amazon. My acne is non-existent now and the tone and texture of my skin is so supple and smooth. I have provided a list of my routine below which includes this product. I’m not saying this is the best or only way to achieve my results, I just thought others would be interested in what I used.
*indicates review for this product
AM- hydrating, lightweight, works under makeup
Cleanser – BOOTS Botanics All Bright Gentle Cleansing Cream (purchased from Ulta for a fraction of the price $6.99)
First Toner- Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater, 4 oz. – $7.00 – This is like a drink of water for your face. I love this stuff and will spray again randomly throughout the day whenever I need a refresher. The aroma is a little strong for my liking but (almost like perfume) but I’m willing to overlook since the rose and aloe does so much for my skin. I used to use just straight rose water which has a very present smell but I like the spray delivery of this product better.
Moisturizing Toner- [Skin Food] Premium Avocado Rich Toner 180ml –$12.98 – I can’t say enough about this. It’s a nice thick toner much more substantial that the western watery toners I was used to. The smell of this is very bright and green (that’s the best way I can think of to explain it) I love the smell! Every now and then I will smell it on my face and it gives me an invigorating boost. This toner works well to moisturize and calm my skin and will certainly be re-purchasing. A little goes a long way with this stuff so that won’t be for quite some time!
Treatment- Body Merry Hyaluronic Acid Serum for Anti-aging with Vitamic C and Natural Green Tea, 2 Oz – $13.99 – I use this during the day to keep my skin feeling hydrated and give my skin the boost of anti-oxidants to help combat ageing. This is a lightweight serum (which is why I use it under my makeup) but it does take some time to fully absorb in and dry on my skin. After I put this on I generally go and have breakfast before coming back to finish. The aroma leans more towards green tea which again I find refreshing for the morning. The syrup is a milky and slightly viscous with minimal stickiness.
Eye Cream- Loreal Revitalift Eye Cream 0.5 Ounce (14ml) (14ml) – (Purchased from Ulta)
Face Cream- [MIZON] Snail Recovery Gel Cream 45ml (1.52 fl.oz.) Pack of 2 – $9.99/ 2-pack – Lightweight moisturizer which works perfectly under makeup. This product doesn’t’ have much of a smell. The consistency is unique halfway between a gel and a cream. Glides on smoothly and provides a decent amount of hydration when combines with my other hydrating products. I don’t like to use occlusive products during the day and this moisturizer fits the bill.
PM-all about Snail- Repair, Hydrated, Moisturize
Makeup Remover- Boots Botanics All Bright Soothing Eye Make-up Remover 5 oz. – Purchased at Ulta for a fraction of the price – $6.99
Double Cleanse – [Total 2Pcs] The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Oil + Foam SET –$14.21 – The oil cleanser feels light and silky. At night, I massage 1 pump into my skin and works well to dissolve the days make-up. Once I am done breaking down all the makeup, I use water to get some of it off before moving to the foam cleanser. My only complaint is that the fragrance is a little strong and can burn my eyes if I’m not careful. It leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. The foam cleanser works well to clean off the oil left on my face. The foam cleanser aroma is a lot more tolerable to me. It comes out of the tube a shimmery white color and is Very gentle. These two cleansers work well to get my face clean and ready for treatments without that typical tight feeling. They leave my skin soft and moisturized.
Exfoliation – Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System Microdermabrasion Treatment 1 Kit – $21.99 – one a week – I used to use philosophy’s microderm kit but this one offers the same exact results for 1/2 of the price. This exfoliator leaves my skin feeling baby soft but it does seem a tad harsh so I don’t like to use it too frequently. I love the fresh citrus smell of the crystals and the warming foaming action once you put on the activator. Since I only use this once a week it lasts for a VERY long time and is totally worth the price.
Toner- [Skin Food] Premium Avocado Rich Toner 180ml –$12.98 I can’t say enough about this. It’s a nice thick toner much more substantial that the western watery toners I was used to. The smell of this is very bright and green (that’s the best way I can think of to explain it) I love the smell! Every now and then I will smell it on my face and it gives me an invigorating boost. This toner works well to moisturize and calm my skin and will certainly be re-purchasing. A little goes a long way with this stuff so that won’t be for quite some time!
*Essence – [Cosrx] Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence 100ml – $15.85 – I only use this at night because it does leave bit of a film on my face which I find unpleasant under make up. It dries quickly and a single pump gives me enough to cover my whole face and neck. There is no smell to speak of but it does have a slimy snail-y texture ( it is 96% slime!) and can be a bit tacky once its all said and done. I have also used this on some iron burns to help it heal faster and minimize scaring with a lot of success.
Treatment- MIZON Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule – Anti Wrinkle – Multi Function Formula – $11.43 – Anti Wrinkle – Multi Function Formula- Clear viscous liquid. Not nearly as slimy as the essence. No smell, absorbs quickly. I focus heavily on the snail products at night because I read that the copper peptides naturally contained in the snail can
alter the effectiveness of the vitamin C and vice versa.
Spot Treatment- [MIZON] Acence Blemish Out Pink Spot 30ml – $14.95 – Use only as needed – Works wonders to diminish blemishes overnight. I used this quite frequently when I first started but after a while using all these products I didn’t have any acne to speak of!
Sheet Mask – Dermal Korea Collagen Essence Full Face Facial Mask Sheet, 16 Combo Pack – $10.40 – I use once a week. I know that sheet masks are the totally hot thing in Korean beauty but I don’t think they do much for me other than a relaxing home spa experience. I just don’t see that they provide much and probably will not be buying more.
Eye Cream- MIZON Korean Cosmetics Snail Repair Eye Cream, 1 Ounce 1 Ounce – $13.98 – Light weight, absorbs quickly. The container is quite generous and a little will go a long way. I think I will have this for a while! It doesn’t have any smell.
Face Cream- MIZON Black Snail All In One Cream, 2.40 Ounce –$10.49 – Like all of the Mizon Snail products I have tried this is a very easy introduction into the world of snail skin care. It has minimum smell and lightweight texture. Minimal slime factor, you wouldn’t even know it was snail in a blind comparison. It has a off white color and a lightweight consistency. It doesn’t work wall as an occlusive if that’s what you want you may need to add a different moisturizer at night.
Face Oils- I use a mixture of two oils applied at once: Radha Beauty Rosehip Oil 4 oz – 100% Pure Cold Pressed Certified Organic . – $13.95 – and Radha Beauty Moroccan Argan Oil for Hair, Face & Skin 4 oz – USDA Organic 100% Pure Cold pressed Virgin Oil From Morocco – By Radha Beauty –$12.95 – I like to use the oils last because I feel like it really seals everything in and provides moisture to last me through the night. The rosehip oil is very yellow orange so I wouldn’t recommend using during the day abut I do sometimes mix the Argan oil in with my foundation if I want a dewier look.

It does everything everyone is saying. Addressing something I hadn’t seen mentioned.
My skin is glowing and my dullness and texture problems are essentially GONE. But I do struggle with large pores and black heads. After using this for a week and a half, if I looked close the surface of the black heads appeared more accessible and were easily removed instead of struggling to get them out for years. And the ones I have removed are NOT coming back! My pores are shrinking, it’s freaking amazing. Will for sure be using this forever.

The idea of snail slime on my face didn’t sound very appealing but it was on Amazon Prime Day so I figured what the hell, I’ll try it. I’m 42 years old and regretfully didn’t take heed to my Nana’s advice when I was younger about taking care of my skin and avoid frowning and stuff – so now I have frown lines and the crows feet are starting to show. I don’t mind my laugh lines because I feel those are a blessing to have. Anyways I LOVE this stuff!!! It doesn’t take but very little to apply to my whole face and you can see a difference after one application. Not any wrinkles or fine lines disappeared, but your face looks replenished and plump (in a good way lol), and it absorbs so well into your skin and your face is so soft. You can use this alone but I put this on first and then I go over it with another Physicians Formula serum. I am loving the results! I definitely will be a repeat customer!

I am not a “influencer“ because I prefer to work after obtaining three master degrees in business. But what I do know is how to make your face stay as wrinkle-free, moisturized, with no redness or irritation. I do understand that many facial products are very expensive. And believe me, I have tried many different products including a few $500 moisturizers but it is not better than a lot that are approximately $15 . In fact, one of the $500 moisturizers burnt my face and I had to go to a dermatologist to get a topical steroid cream and use it three times a day on my face. I know you can watch tons of YouTube videos or these so-called “influencers “who are getting paid for you to use their suggested products. My advice is free and I have spoken with many of my friends, 3 who are dermatologists, regarding my regime. If you follow the steps, everything I stated in the beginning will be true. First, no matter if you just got out of the shower and didn’t exfoliate your face, you will still have leftover make up or not a perfectly clean pallet to start with. First purchase 100% cotton exfoliating pads that are double sided. One side will be a bit rougher and other side will be smooth. Very inexpensive to find. If you don’t want to buy facial cloths that are already have the make-up remover that’s fine because they are expensive and you can do it so much less and expensive my way. Take the soft side of the pad to clean your face. Molecular cleaning water is fabulous and inexpensive. Use the pad from your forehead to your chin in a circular motion. Next, don’t forget about your neck. Always wipe up and not in a circular motion because gravity will pull your skin down especially around your neck and if you are on the thinner side. The thinner you are, the more wrinkles and loose skin will show as you get older. It’s a catch-22 for us women. Let’s have the perfect body yet in maintaining that, our faces will age more noticeably. Once you have used the soft side, turn the pad around and do the exact same thing with the exfoliating side. You will be surprised to see how much make-up is still on your face even after you shower. Next comes toner. I am a diamond member at a “beauty store “but Amazon sells these products at a much better price point. I strongly suggest using Klair’s Supple Saturation Non-Scented Toner. It sells out quite often at the beauty store because it is a five star product with over 3000 reviews. On Amazon, I believe it’s only $21 or so. This will be the most expensive product I am telling you to use. Take another round pad and use the soft side. The Claire’s comes out differently from other brands, say Thayers Toner, as it slowly drips from the bottle. I drip four drops on my forehead, three on each side of my cheek, one of my nose, three on my lower face near my chin, two above my top lip and two on my neck. Gently, once again in a circular motion, spread the toner across your face and sweep up boards at the neck area. Your face is now ready for the remaining products. Next I use a retinol product the one I’m suggesting is fabulous and is very inexpensive. 1HEROLABS Extreme Retinol Serum. it comes out in a tube and I put four drops on my forehead,three on each cheek, one on my nose, three on my chin, one on my upper lip and lastly, two on my neck. Rub it into your face gently with using your pointer finger. My next to last step is COURX Snail Musin. I usually use four drops on my forehead, three drops on each cheek, one on my nose, one on my upper lip, two on my chin and two on my neck. Once again, using your pointer finger, rub it in now this is the last thing that I do good old Vaseline. What it does is hold the moisturizers and products onto your face while you sleep I use a tiny bit on my forehead and around my mouth And chin area. This may sound like it would takes hours but it doesn’t. 10 minutes at the most and you will have fabulous skin! Total cost under $50 and all products can be bought at Amazon.

I bought this to freak out the grandkids – big success! However, I’ll keep buying it because it soothes and moisturizers my 70+ increasingly sensitive skin better than any other product I’ve tried. I top it off with Aveeno Oat Gel moisturizer or La Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair if I’m really dry. I also bought the dual serum with niacinamide, but there are cheaper ways to add niacinamide to my skin care regime, and I think that product is slightly less moisturizing so I top it up the the 96 version.

COSRX Snail Mucin is absolutely incredible. I’m almost 40 and I’ve never cared for my skin properly…until now. My skin was dull, lifeless, hyper-oily, wrinkles were starting to creep in etc. I don’t necessarily look my age and most definitely didn’t want to start.
I started the 96% mucin along with the 92% all in one cream on October 1st and quite literally saw an immediate improvement. My face started glowing, looked plump and bright, my pores look clean and have shrunk. My skin is NEVER oily now! Like, not even a little bit
If there’s a shine, it’s just a brightness/glow about my skin that was never there before. My skin is soft, so smooth, and radiant!
I also added snail mucin gel cleanser. I wash twice a day, followed by the snail mucin power essence and then all in one cream.
PLEASE make sure you PAT the snail mucin on-do not rub it in! Pat all over until it’s absorbed!
Just order it! You won’t be disappointed!

I ended up getting all of this brand, moisturizer, serum, & eye cream. I do have a cleansing oil and toner from a different brand, but let me tell you I have never had my skin feel so amazing after only a few days! The texture on my skin seems to have lessened and I can’t tell if it’s just wishful thinking or that my pores have actually shrunk after just a few days of using. The moisturizer does feel a bit sticky after applying, but when I wake up in the morning my skin is sooo soft. No negative reactions so far, I’ll have to update later if that happens.

The thought of smearing something on my face that comes out of the underside of a snail was off-putting, UNTIL I gave it a try and saw results. It took about a week for my skin to adjust but when it did, capillaries reduced in redness, the texture of my skin reminded me of my younger days, and my makeup looks so much better and smoother. I’m pretty basic when it comes to skin care so purchasing this was a stretch for me. I apply it all over my face, neck, and chest right out of the shower on damp skin. Let that soak in for a little while and then apply moisturizer on top. It’s wonderful. No product build up to roll up on the surface of my skin – it literally soaks in. Makeup looks velvety. Skin feels healthy. I can’t see me ever going without this stuff!

I was introduced to this by a TikTok influencer. I gave it a try. COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a unique and popular skincare product.
This essence has earned a cult following in the world of skincare, and I completely understand why. It’s made from 96% snail secretion filtrate, which may sound a bit unusual, but it’s packed with benefits for the skin. I’ve been using it for some time, and here’s what I’ve found:
Hydration Powerhouse: One of the standout features of this product is its ability to provide deep hydration. It’s a lightweight, gel-like essence that instantly makes my skin feel more plump and moisturized. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, you’ll likely appreciate the hydration boost.
Repair and Soothing: Snail mucin is known for its regenerative properties. I’ve noticed that this essence has helped with reducing redness and irritation, especially if I’ve had a breakout. It seems to speed up the healing process and leaves my skin looking healthier. (yes this is my second bottle)
Minimal Ingredients: It’s a plus for those with sensitive skin or who prefer a more minimalistic approach to skincare. The ingredient list is refreshingly short, which can be appealing for those who want to avoid unnecessary additives.
Texture and Absorption: It goes on smoothly and is quickly absorbed by the skin, leaving no greasy or sticky residue. This makes it a great addition to both morning and evening routines.
Fragrance-Free: The essence is fragrance-free, which is beneficial for those with sensitive skin or those who prefer to avoid added fragrances in their skincare products.
While I’ve had a generally positive experience with COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, it’s important to note that skincare is highly individual. What works for one person might not work for another due to differences in skin type and concerns. Also, some people might be put off by the idea of snail mucin, but the essence itself doesn’t have a noticeable scent or feel slimy.
In summary, this essence is a hydrating and reparative powerhouse that can work wonders for many skin types, particularly those with dry or sensitive skin. It’s a staple in my skincare routine, and I recommend giving it a try if you’re looking to boost hydration and promote skin healing.
