With so many beauty products out there these days, it's difficult to know which viral ones are actually worthy of our attention. But that's where we come in to sift through hundreds of products to find the best foundations for oily skin, the best toner for dry skin and everything in between. One product that consistently does the rounds on TikTok and continues to be one of Amazon's bestselling beauty products is Cosrx's Advanced 96 Snail Mucin Essence. So I decided to give it a trial and report my findings.
I first tried a snail mucin product about eight years ago. It was sticky and far from a pleasant experience, but the results were incredible. As someone with rosacea and extremely reactive skin, I could slather it on at night and wake up to bouncy and hydrated skin that was calm - redness visibly reduced. However, I stopped using it a few years ago because, well, beauty editor life means having about 84 products on the go at all times.
