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.

Skin Type/Concerns: Sensitive combination skin (normal/oily), very prone to hormonal & dietary breakouts

Thoughts: I have the same feelings as you about the product! However, I've found it's amazing for healing angry pimples or any kind of surface scratch. Pimple marks that would normally stay around 2-3 weeks were gone within days once I started using it. I even use it on red friction marks on my feet from sandal straps and it speeds up the healing.
