COSRX - Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence - 80 ml

Any product worked for me until I turned 40 few years ago - as I had good genes and no issues. However after 40, different story.... I've been on a quest to find good products that make my face look less tired and firmer (glowy seemed unachievable..), all across the pricepoints (from Trader Joe's products to La Prairie and La Mer , and everything in between..). I live in Massachusetts and winters are harsh and very dry. Keeping my combination-skin hydrated is a challenge. Nothing, and I mean nothing, worked so well and so fast as this snail stuff. I reluctantly got a travel kit with small samples of 4 products (cleansing, essence, eye cream and cream) and gave it a try, despite the slimy consistency the products sink right in, leaving my skin nor oily nor matte, ... MoreAny product worked for me until I turned 40 few years ago - as I had good genes and no issues.

I reluctantly got a travel kit with small samples of 4 products (cleansing, essence, eye cream and cream) and gave it a try, despite the slimy consistency the products sink right in, leaving my skin nor oily nor matte, just right. You know that soft clean glowy skin small babies have? That's what this line with snail mucin does for my face - from first application , and getting better as I keep using them. My complexion is even now , pores barely noticeable, my skin stays soft and elastic all day long, I've only been using the products for a week so not long enough to notice any effect on my fine & not so fine lines , but I've never felt so good in my skin. This week I used only this line (I even skipped on the SPF), no concealer, foundation or anything else on top, and yesterday at lunch my friend who hasn't seen me in 1.5 months asked me if I got a job done on my face... I'm here to get the full size products as this line is my holy grail that I've been searching for for so long. Highly reccomend.

I remember I was only able to buy the OG advanced snail serum during the height of its popularity a while back. My skin loved that serum a lot and with me running out, I needed a replacement. I saw this product was on sale and so I decided to give it a shot! It has only been a week or so, but I can already say I love this way moreee! It feels lighter weight and with me using my 0.1 retinol alongside it, everything is so enhanced!I have super dry and sensitive skin, but my pores really soaked this product up no problem! I have no irritation thus far and when I wake up? My skin is GLOOWWINGG! I never had such great results in such a short amount of time before! It's not tacky like the other snail serum and just feellss soo NICEE! I say give this one a try fr, don't ... MoreI remember I was only able to buy the OG advanced snail serum during the height of its popularity a while back.

My face before applying is WET btw, make sure to do that so the serum gets extra absorbed!!

I use this essence every night and the normal snail essence every morning. I have become a rabid snail-vangelizer to all of my friends. This quickly, and easily became my first skincare Holy Grail and I never want to be without either. They make my skin feel so hydrated and smoothA few differences between the formulas, the standard snail mucin does seem to be a bit thicker. However, only slightly and that makes sense as it has a bit less. The dual radiance has a 5% niacinamide formulation which is why I choose to use i at night. I have a different 10% niacinamide serum I use un the morning.To conclude, you couldn't go wrong with picking either of these serums, unless you're sensitive with niacinamide, or you need the extra boost of hydration the other essence ... MoreI use this essence every night and the normal snail essence every morning.

I only use about two pumps per bottle and that leaves my skin feeling beyond dewy and incredible, in a way that makes me want to tell people about it!
