I'm a training esthetician and I had an assignment for a holistic ingredient project. I picked snail mucin and I had so much fun researching it. My teacher was put off by the idea of snail mucin at first but she was convinced to buy the cosrx serum after she saw my presentation. I was able to research the chemical composition of snail mucin (specifically that of Helix Aspersa Muller snails which are used in cosrx and other cosmetic brands) to figure out why it could have benefits for our skin. I found this info from a study called "Protective effect of snail secretion filtrate against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in mice" The chemical components include vitamins E, C, B12, B3, allantoin, glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, elastin, collagen, trans-retinol, and 13-cis-retinol.

I think that people here talk mostly about COSRX.

It’s important to note that people who are allergic to dust mites, are also allergic to snail mucin believe it or not. I tried snail mucin because of the many benefits that it has, and also because I was interested in the trend/hype over it. But I learned the hard way that I was heavily allergic to it and ended up having to be seen by a specialist and be on medication for 10 days in order to recover from the reaction. The correlation is unusual and almost unbelievable but definitely something to be aware of.

I’m using lubriderm advanced therapy lotion rn) then put on Vaseline for my last step, but I would skip the Vaseline if you’re still having sensitivities to the tretinoin cause it can cause more irritation with the way it traps your active products under it.

I just wanted to share a personal experience. I have rosacea and sensitive skin that can be dry. I tried a new retinol (I don't want to mention the brand) and ended up with a nasty chemical burn on my face. My face was extremely red and super sensitive. When I used Cosrx snail mucin, my face started to burn. Some of my other products did the same, even my skin 1004 centella ampoule. The products that I could use that really soothed my skin were: La Roche Posay lipikar gentle foaming cleanser, laneige cream skin refiner mist, make prem gentle and hydrating essence toner, LP cicaplast balm, illyoon ato concentrate cream paired with paulas choice plant oils. These ingredients were very soothing. I hope this helps someone. 🙏

At 78 I like the Coxrx snail mucin, much smoother skin & hydration. I will continue to buy.

I’m a WCC RN and it would be great to see snail mucin included in more wound care! I think there’s definitely a market for it.

I think the skin is very subjective to snail mucin as most ingredients are. I assumed I wouldn’t notice a difference but I could by day 2. I have normal to dry hormonal acne with some other acne breakouts. For me, it is extremely hydrating, and it heals me acne and scars quickly. My hyperpigmentation from acne scars has been greatly reduced in the 2 months I’ve used it, and it reduces irritation and my active breakouts when I have them. Personally I was skeptical but gave it a shot and I won’t be stopping. Especially with my wedding in a month and the amazing changes my skin has had.

I've just started this skin care routine a week ago and I already love it! my skin is so hydrated literally alllll day, and I feel like my face looks more clear and youthful more than ever!! I love snail mucin!!

Got distracted by my kids and then came back to do my makeup. My skin was so hydrated and supple I forgot to put my cream on 😂 my makeup still looked and felt so comfortable all day. This stuff is legit!

I have always loved your videos and I can’t believe I found you posted this just 1 day ago while I have my last mucin mask on and researching it’s benefits! Coincidence!

Only been using 2 weeks. Liking the way it feels going on (serum) my skin. Time will tell.

I won't use snail mucin products for two reasons. One, I can't do the texture. It's so off-putting for me. I like my hugs to be dry and warm, not moist and tepid. The other reason is that I'm not sure that the extraction process really is that nice for the snails. I mean, they secret their mucin as a stress response to their environment, and the extraction process essentially showers the snails in a mild acid to make them secrete mucin... No, I'll stick to vaseline and HA.

I've used snail creams for well over a decade now. I have severe acne outbreaks and snail cream will NOT irritate my skin. Does it improve my skin drastically? No. But it does no harm, which is important. I've tried many brands but the standard Mizon one and Cosrx have been best in terms of value/ quality for price IMO.

I use this, and I do see an improvement in my skin texture.

I would love to know as well.

It make my skin shines and healthy and hydrated like crazy.

My goodness, Dr. Dray, not only are you the best dermatologist with the best advice, but you're a mind reader, too! I was going back and forth in my mind for the past couple of days whether to purchase the Cosrx snail mucin product, but now you've convinced me. I've been taking your skincare advice for a few years now and I couldn't be happier with the results. I keep it simple with a good double cleanse, moisturizer, sunscreen and of course, Tretinoin. I'm heading out the door to my local CVS to pick up my script. Thanks again for your honesty and advice in a world, unfortunately, that's saturated with so much nonsense. You truly are a gem!

I’ve had this in my IHerb cart forever. SOLD 😂❤. I’m 51 and always looking a soothing serum. If it has potential to help my fine under eye lines too? Yay🎉

I was enormously doubtful about the snail mucin, but decided to give CosRX a try and have been enormously pleased with the results. I don't use it every single day at this point, but it worked wonders at calming my skin inflammation, including almost completely erradicating the small pimples that would often break out all over my face, nearly eliminated the redness on my cheeks and forehead, moisturized without aggravating my oily skin, and seemed to clear the last remnants of the eczema on my hands that I've been battling for about three years. It's earned a permanent place in my skincare routine.

Your video came up in the right time in my case. I started accutane this week and when I woke up in the morning I had lot of flaking already. I bought the snail 96 cream yesterday 🐌 Put it this morning after cleansing and going strong after 8 hours the skin is smooth and no fleaking 👍🏻 my oily (now dry) sensitive skin l Looooove snail mucin

I really had high hopes for this! The first couple of days of using, my skin looked great. Then within a week or so I started breaking out in loads of red bumps and irritation😩 I tried to persevere, but my skin definitely did not approve.

Some people with dust allergies might react adversely to snail mucin. It could also cause a problem if you have a shellfish allergy

Tried it twice & twice my skin freaked out 😩

I still have a whole bottle of this just sitting in my cabinet. The few times I used it I got a cystic pimple. I don’t think my skin likes it. There’s nothing to purge either because of being on retin A and Spironolactone for two years.

No, you’re right your skin doesn’t like this, It wouldn’t cause purging.

Started using the basic Peach Slices snail moisturizer. I was mad because I wanted the deep moisturizing one, as my skin tends to be combination/dryer in my mid-30s. I was SHOCKED that my skin stayed moisturized and not oily all day long and my color is more evenly toned. I plan to keep exploring the snail mucin and see what kind of results I get! :)

I’m using it and Ido feel my skin is softer and a bit brighter in appearance. Thank you for confirming my experience as possibly real🤗

Great information! It would be really helpful if you left a link for research studies you mention in your videos, too.

Rigjt now im using COSRX. toner, ppwer essence and Snail 92 All in one cream. I promise a love it. After about 3 to 5 mins i put my cetaphil sunscreen on. The first day with sunscreen it felt dry until days you do your facial routine, it will change. Right now im buying the Hyaluronic Acid. I had a huge pimple on my chin (from wearing mask at vwork) that hard to get rid. Now its getting better after 2 days application. Thank you for sharing your video ❤

Wow, title is a strong statement for Dr Dray!

Thank you so much for another informative video! I love your channel.

Ive been using it for a couple of years and have exactly the positive experiences you mention. Very soothing and hydrating.

Thanks for all this info! It would be awesome if you could compare the compounds in snail mucin with those in wild yam extract, which a lot of vegans use as the nearest alternative, including myself. 🙏🏻❤️

My understanding is that if the snails are stressed out the mucin is not high quality, so they try to keep them as “happy” and healthy as possible. But I understand why a vegan would not use it as it’s still an animal product. Just like they don’t use honey, even if it comes from an ethical bee keeper. To a vegan it doesn’t matter, it’s still an animal product.

Happy Wednesday

In the beginning i was too super duper motivated to use snail mucin for the redness on my arm. I had a scald injury and the redness persisted so i look for that ingredient due to its wound healing and anti inflammatory properties. But when i looked further into it yes it may help in some extent but not the actual ingredient for that purpose like niacinamide for instance ❤ (i love that ingredient and licorice root extract too). But one thing is for sure and i totally agree with doctor Andrea which is that the feel is like an actual hydrating hug cloaking the skin just perfectly in my pov and the cosrx is also my go to. It is the feel, the actual results and effect on the skin surface it's just wonderful 😊❤. Another thing is that it is the only humectant on the field ok H.A, glycerin and poluglutamic acid are some of those ingredients with similar properties with snail mucin. So a try will convince you if it the thing for you but remember what the product targets its actually purposes. Thanks Doctor Andrea now you did make me to look for snail 🐌 ❤😂 love your informative and educational videos so much.

yayyy great timing because i've been considering it!

I loved it, it was helping clear up my cystic acne and heal the left over scars....but it came back with a vengeance and now I have acne all down my neck and chin and side of my face. If you have acne really bad I'd advice you to take care if the acne first.

I didnt like Snail 96 the first time I've used it, it broke me. However, I gave it 2nd chance and it's something I'd use to mitigate damage done by actives. More than that, the anti-ageing effect made my crows feet on eyes less visible. The product claims that it works on lightening scars but I didn't see much improvement. Overall, this is my HG and I'm a guy in my early 30's. Impressive product if used correctly and consistently.

I’ve been seeing so much cosrx in tj max, nearly half off ❤ love it

❤️❤️❤️thanks so much for introducing us to this product. Thanks to you I have been using this product for the last couple of years. Appreciate your time and dedication to producing such educational and informative videos. My skin thanks you. Have a wonderful weekend. ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🤚👍

thanks for the deep dive on snail mucin! how do you think it compares to hyaluronic acid?

Thank you Dr Dray! I have snail mucin and even though I'm oily, I'm on tretinoin so I can get dry. I was using it and liking it then saw something from some celebrity skin care person who said that the only people who should be using it were dry skinned people or it will just break you out. Why did I listen? I should know better!

"Your face is not a wound." Bold of you to assume Dr. Dray.

Happy Wednesday Dr Dray so excited to be here I live for this ❤️
