It's lightweight, absorbs super quickly, and plays well with almost every skin type.▶ 4:18–4:24
If you got a compromised skin barrier or you're dehydrated or you're just a little bit irritated, this is such a nice product to just use.▶ 4:24–4:27
It's still a great product.
Does it still hold up? 100% absolutely.▶ 4:15–4:20

It's a good product.
It's 96% snail secretion filtrate, which does give hydration and slight repairing benefits as well in that unique sim texture.▶ 10:37–10:40
I personally love it.
It's a really nice product.▶ 11:05–11:09
It's a quite simple formula which isn't a bad thing.▶ 11:09–11:16
I found in my experience it's one of those things that like you have to keep using it all the time to just feel hydrated.▶ 11:14–11:18
It can also feel sticky, which not a lot of people enjoy.▶ 11:35–11:39
COSRX is great if you're new to K-beauty, curious about snail mucin, or want a simple hydrator to pair with stronger actives.▶ 12:55–13:00

This is basically an essence with 96% of snail secretion filtrate.▶ 4:40–4:47
It's because of the stringent sticky formulation that really, really helps the hydration last a very long time on my skin.▶ 5:18–5:24
I recently got a skin treatment done and my skin has been flaking... I whipped this out.▶ 5:26–5:32
Because this has such a strong hydration power, it also helps with the regeneration repairing because it helps your skin stay hydrated.▶ 5:45–5:53
This is so affordable, guys.▶ 6:09–6:13
This is just a powerhouse of gloopy hydration.▶ 6:17–6:22
Even though initially it feels gloopy, once you spread it out, it actually spreads out really calmly. It doesn't feel sticky as much.
I do think that it's something worth having in your collection as a staple.▶ 6:01–6:05
