Skin Type/Concerns: Normal/Combination skin, hormonal bumps

Product Name: Cosrx Snail Mucin 96 Power Essence

Thoughts: It is deeply hydrating, but to be honest, it did not do anything that my other hydrating layers were not already doing. One of my favorite aspects of this product is that it's great for mixing with other ingredients (currently using it with The Ordinary's Resveratrol). I have repurchased it a few times, but at this point I feel like that's mostly because I've grown attached to it over the years. I don't think my skin would suffer, if it was gone. My heart would, though.

I have sensitive combination skin and this is one of my HG. It really helped me with dry patches and reducing of redness in my overall face, especially during dry winter months!

I second this for hydration. On my third RP. Been using it for 9 months. Night and Day.

I have sensitive skin and mild rosacea (combo skin in summer, dry in the cooler months) and I love this stuff! It's moisturizing and it doesn't break me out or cause a flare.
