How to use COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream 

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that my skincare content has been helpful to you and that you've found my answers to be the best for your questions. If you have any further skincare concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. 🥰

Yes, you can :)

What reformulation reviews? 🤔 I like the new formula; it works well for me. So I cannot see any negative points.

I would recommend opting for a gel or gel-cream moisturizer such as CeraVe gel. COSRX Snail Cream could also be an option, but just be aware that there's a chance of a reaction.

Hey! 😊 Yes, that's fine. You can adjust the frequency of every skincare product based on your needs and tolerance. Just remember that in the evening, you do not need to use sunscreen. 😊

Technically, yes. Practically, the cream often leads to stinging or even light burning when doing such combinations. I'm not sure why, but if that happens, then don't continue using it. ;)

You have the steps correct :). In this routine, the all-in-one cream would serve as your moisturizer.

Hey! :) Overall your skincare routine looks good! :)

Thanks a bunch for your reply :') ❤️

When we can add night cream sonebymi ?

@@allahallah6427 Use the All in One Cream in the AM and the Some By Mi Cream in the PM.

Yes you can

You can use it after Niacinamide. And it is not that bad; you still can feel a bit "tacky" when you use too much of it.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet but this cream not clog pores

@@fationismajli5437 Well, from my experience, most of them do, and I am unsure if I already told you this, but for oily skin, you really do not need to use such products. If you really want to use something, go with a hydrating toner, serum or essence and avoid these creams or lotions.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ok melisa thnx

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet melisa but other corsx serum is good for me he is not cream lotion

I think it's not the best formulation for that. Instead, use their Snail Mucin 96 Essence.

Yes you can!

Yes, this can work (if you feel the need/like that combination). Use the Snail cream at first and then follow with the Blemish cream. Like so: How to use COSRX Centella Blemish Cream: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pdH0JplXnPw.html

I personally prefer the COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Cream, but when it comes to Vichy, I mainly like their Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Booster.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Do you think its better to try COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Cream or these two together COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence and COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Repair Cream? I have sensitive normal to dry skin

@@FarzanehKia-t6x I prefer the COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Cream; however, do not apply it to 'damp/wet skin'. Simply pat your skin dry after cleansing, and if you use other products, let each one absorb fully before moving on to the next.

Yes, yes, and yes. Although many people experience stinging with this formulation when it's combined with other products, I am unsure what is causing it. So, if you have sensitive skin, it may become an issue.

Hello Manuel, thank you. How is the situation in your country 🤔?

For what do you want to use it? What's your skin type, and what skin concerns do you have, if any? 🤔

For combination skin and enlarged pores, the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence may be a better option. This is because the essence has a lightweight, watery consistency that is easily absorbed into the skin, and it contains 96% snail mucin extract which can help to improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of pores, and balance oil production.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much 💗💗

yes

Use it before your moisturiser! :) You can also use your moisturiser in the AM and oil in the PM, that's fine too! :)

Both the Cosrx snail cream and snail mucin contain snail secretion filtrate as their main ingredient, which is known for its hydrating and skin-repairing properties. However, they are formulated differently and may have some additional benefits. The Cosrx snail cream is a moisturizer that contains snail secretion filtrate along with other ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and shea butter to provide hydration and nourishment to the skin. It also has a thicker texture, which makes it ideal for people with dry or dehydrated skin. On the other hand, the Cosrx snail mucin is a lightweight serum that contains a higher concentration of snail secretion filtrate. It is designed to be applied before moisturizer to boost hydration and improve skin texture. If you already have the snail mucin and it is providing you with the hydration and benefits you need, you may not necessarily need to purchase the snail cream. However, if you have dry skin or want additional nourishment, using the snail cream in combination with the snail mucin may be beneficial. Ultimately, it depends on your skin's specific needs and preferences.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thanks 😘

Yes and yes 😀

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Thanks love💕💕

No

No, just use one of them or one in the AM and the other one in the PM.

Yes, you can! :) However, I would probably use the all-in-one cream before applying the retinol, as it has a much richer formulation. Or just leave out your moisturizer.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet ohhh okay tysm for replying 😊 and i think I'll do the same. First cosrx snail mucin all in one cream and then cosrx retinol cream .

after

Not really, use something like Vichy Mineral 89 or another Hyaluronic Acid serum or toner such as Isntree Hyaluronic Acid toner.

Use the cream before applying your Azelaic Acid cream.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thankyou so much

Yes, that's fine, although the cleanser you're using can be quite drying, especially if you already have dry skin. Have you tried that routine already? If so, how's it going so far?

Hello Marina, Most chemical sunscreens are water-soluble. But also, certain Mineral sunscreens are not an issue. And at the same time, it depends on the cleanser you are using; I find some cleansers that are suitable for normal to oily skin even do an excellent job in removing them already. So the easiest way is really to test it. Also, all the ones that I am showing remove easily with a daily regular cleanser. What sunscreen do you use 🤔?

Thank you! 😃

Hey! My pleasure😊 Yes, that's fine. Use it before the cream😊

I haven't tried that particular cream, but you can combine them. If the consistency is lighter, use it before; if it's heavier, use it after. However, if they don't layer well, consider using them at different times.

wouldn't use it on top of the eyelids, but apart from that yes.

Yes you can :)

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet 🥺❤️

Hey! 😊 What about using the All-in-One Cream in the AM and the other moisturizers in the PM? You can alternate between them. Do you have physical acne scars? Are you using any treatments for them?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial hello! Thank you for replying :)) I will try the cream in the morning then! To answer your question, my acne scars are like dark spots, I don't really have texture. Right now I use some preventative serums (bee's acne spot treatment and Peter Thomas Roth acne serum) as well as physically exfoliating once a week and following up with a hydrating mask at night. Do you have other suggestions?

@@miriamwong4200 Ok, well, you could try a low strength Retinol (however, avoid using it with AHA or BHA in the same routine) or Alpha Arbutin :)

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial ok! I will definitely try it then! Thank you again so much for replying to me, it's been very helpful!

Hey! :) Use your Olay cream instead of COSRX All In One cream. Or use your Olay cream in the morning and COSRX All-in-One cream in the evening (or the other way around). You do not need two moisturizers.

Hello Goken Riba, What Cetaphil cleanser are you using? And have you already tried not to use the Vitamin C? And is this your daytime routine? 🤔

I use gentle cleanser one Night routine I haven't tried using without vitamin c

@@gokenriba08 Hmm, okay, that is weird 🤔 Because that one should help you with dryness. So how do you apply/use the products? 🤔

I use it after vitamin c

@@gokenriba08 Yes, but do you apply your serum/moisturizer to dry, damp or wet skin? How much do you use of the serum and cream?

Yes. I like Paula's Choice Hydrating Toners! :)

Technically, you could do that because the Natural Moisturizing Factors are primarily there to repair the skin. Still, I am unsure if you really need to use the Snail cream afterwards; I think it is not needed, especially not for your skin type. But I suggest you test it. 🙂

yes, you can.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much 🩷

No. And yes, you can do that.

Damp or dry skin is acceptable, but not wet. To see the difference, you can watch this short video: ru-vid.comjvqvR1em-i0

You would use the essence before. However, I have often noticed stinging when combining it with a retinoid. So maybe best to use it at a different time or wait a bit in between. But you need to test it to figure out what's working best for you.

Well, it depends on your skin type. But if it is not extremely dry, yes.

Yes, you can. Additionally, it is recommended to use salicylic acid as an exfoliant before applying snail mucin.

Thankyou Melissa ❤️❤️ you are life saver ❤❤

@@AZ-wx5yh

Yes you can!

Hm... have a look at this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nTg8hrEQIvM.htmlsi=O96fB_wnk86tSy4y Basically, after your cleansing step, make sure to pat off the excess water droplets before applying your skin care products and make sure that you're using a cleanser suitable for your dry skin.

The answer depends on the specific Vitamin C serum you're using. Could you let me know which one you use? Also, what other products are you planning to use?

before :)

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you❤️

What do you mean by that? They hide primiarly dehydration so that the skin can recover (if you are suffering from dry skin). But some Ayurvedic face cream may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and to help brighten and even out the skin tone.

How do you apply these products? How often do you use them - daily, in the morning and evening? And what is your inherited skin type: dry, normal, oily, or combination?

Yes you can :)

You could look into a Peptide, Retinol or even an Exfoliating Acid product :) However, do not use Peptides and Exfoliating Acids together or Exfoliating Acids with Retinol. Keep them separate :)

serum peptide recommendation? because I can't use retinol

@@momy_enzi_enzo Hm, not really. You could use any of the Ordinary serums, or Paula's Choice Peptide Booster, but that one is very expensive 😕

Thank u melissa 🥰😘

You can use Cos De Baha Peptide Serum, heard great things about it and it’s not very expensive. I’m using the Retinol Serum from Cos de Baha😊

Yes, use the snail mucin before wait 30 seconds to a minute and use the moisturizer on top.

Hm, why would you do that 🤔

how do you apply it? 🤔

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I use a Bionik3 cleanser, then 2 pumps of the cosrx 96 serum, sometimes I also use an HA serum and then the cosrx all in one moisturizer. It feel nice at first but after an hour I am already dried out

Oh and also I use a rose toner after cleansing but not everyday

@@kig8791 Its because you are using way too much; therefore, it starts to dry on the skin, which is giving you that dry or tight feeling Cleanse face pat the skin dry apply snail mucin ( 1 pump should be enough)

Same feeling here it dries out after

Yes :)

Thank you so much! Have a great day ahead

Hey! :) Thank you! If you feel fancy, you can pat or just blend/rub the cream over your face and neck. Either way is fine; I always blend my moisturizer over my face and neck, as demonstrated in the video. You can use this cream on its own. This is enough. If it isn't, I recommend changing the moisturizer. There is no point in using two. You can apply the cream immediately after cleansing or additional products that you want to add in between.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much Melissa! I'm super excited to try this product out now 😊😃 (P.S. sorry about the huge ass comment with so many questions 😅😂) I hope you have a great day ahead :)

🥰

@@voodoomagic90 how is it working so far?

Same question over here, just started using it but it feels drying and yet I really want to use it what can I use in addition or is the drying effect for everyone?

Hey! 😊 Well, it could be just an initial reaction as it's a new product that you're using on your skin. This sometimes happens to me as well, and then after a while, my skin doesn't get red anymore. However, if it continues to happen or if it irritates your skin in any way, stop using it. Also, try to remove the water drops from the skin surface before applying your leave-on skincare products, as applying them to wet (often referred to as damp) skin can lead to irritations.

Hello, Have you ever used any products with snail secret before? And salicylic acid could be the issue here, as it can make the skin more prone to irritants. How do you apply it, and are there any other products you use along with it?

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiethi, since they didn’t reply i will😅 i have the same problem (it’s not VERY red but still): it’s my first time using snail mucin and here are the products i use: - LRP cleanser - corsx snail mucin essence - AXIS-y dark spot correcting glow serum (the cream makes it dry even without this sérum) - corsx cream - SPF Thankss

So, which La Roche-Posay cleanser are you using, and did you start using these products all together? 🤔

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet the effaclar foaming gel cleanser i have been using for 5 months already and the rest are products i just bought 1 week ago (for the first time)

(+ i use the paula choice exfoliant twice a week (been using for almost a year)

Personally, I wouldn't store it in the fridge. Sometimes it affects the formulation. I mean, unless you live in a very hot and humid country and do not have air-conditioning or a cool place to store it :)

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much!!

Yes, you can! Just don't confuse it with wet skin. Some "people, aka dubious doctors", sadly show it that way on camera 😕 creating many issues for real users of these products. How to apply Skincare on Damp Skin?: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xNUUUr81rLE.html

Damp skin is recommended by most dermatologists I've watched using this!!!! Also using it with Hyaluronic acid (: damp skin works best for me and I'll even spritz my face hours and hours later and it almost reactivates the product and my face feels moist and hydrated like I just applied it. Little goes along ways...if it's drying and flaky you have used too much.

serum goes first. And if the mucin makes the skin dry, you may use too much or apply it to wet skin. (some people do that because they confuse damp and wet skin)

Yes :)

This cream can be used on all Skin Types. However, I prefer COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Cream 😊

No, that's not necessary. The all-in-one cream serves as your moisturizer. If it's not suitable for you, discontinue its use and switch to one of Cetaphil's creams instead.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet, but that won't have any negative impact, right? Like we are nourishing the skin deeply?

No :)

I couldnt understand. You saying that It wont have any negative impact to use both right ?

@@z1gma Correct - I mean, unless you do not tolerate the product because of an ingredient or the formulation.

Snail secret is a composition of several ingredients also containing glycolic acid but in tiny amounts, not influencing anything on our skin. But layering multiple products with the same ingredient is not needed.

yes

Is it before or after? And I would also like to ask if it's okay to pair it with the ordinary 0.5 squaline retinol, after?

@@bocruz9193 Yes, use it after the application of the serums.

Yes, that's fine! :)

What's your skin type? If you have oily skin, I recommend using a hydrating essence or serum instead of a different gel-type moisturizer like The Ordinary NMF + Beta Glucan. Do you know what triggers your acne? Since when have you been using the SA and Niacinamide products? Have a look at this: ru-vid.comIZlly-SPBR4?si=AkHzdaIXhxEhyPb0

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I think my skin is in the middle of oily and dry I can’t really tell. Sometimes it will be dry and others oily. I have been using these for a few months I do not know if they even help. I have been thinking that all these factors could be triggering it, but also I think it is hormonal but I can’t say for sure.

​@@Appl3Kid Have you ever tried Benzoyl Peroxide and/or Retinol/Retinoid instead of Salicylic Acid? Have a look at this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zq9w8rd8rd8.htmlsi=9_9XgBIiiyjr1bT1

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I will try this benzoyl peroxide cleansing technique, thank you. By the way, can you recommend a drugstore moisturizer that would be acne safe based off this?

@@Appl3Kid The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + Beta Glucan is great!

I recommend something else like a moisturizer from La Roche Posay, Neutrogena, or even a mix of The Ordinary oils with their moisturizer, as people often told me that this cream still left their skin dry.

yes, you can :)

Yes you can :)

What cleanser do you use? Did you apply it just as I showed in the video? Sometimes, people apply it when there's still water on the skin's surface. If that's not the case, it might be the cleanser or even the snail products themselves causing the issue. I've heard that sometimes the snail all-in-one cream can make the skin dry (if you're using that one). I'm not sure why, but I've heard this feedback quite often.

how did you apply it?

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet I used it after my cleanser at night and morning while my face is a little damp

@@suhaylaamer9988 You may confuse damp and wet skin. And that may be the issue.

yes, you can.

Generally you do not need any moisturizer at all, unless you have dry skin.

Yes, that's fine! :)

Yes, the moisturizer is way too heavy; it is meant for dry to very dry skin. But also, the CeraVe hydrating cleanser is meant for dry skin. Essentially, you would need the CeraVe foaming cleanser and snail mucin, or a gel-type moisturizer such as The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta-Glucan.

@@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet thank you so much it did work I started the same cera ve hydrating cleanser and then I apply my snail mucin and it made my skin way smoother !!!❤️

Dry or damp, but avoid wet skin as it can cause sensitivities and improper absorption, leading to a dry and tight feeling.

Yes you can

No, it's the other way around... However, sometimes it is a bit controversial with chemical sunscreen. If you use Vaseline or Nivea (blue), then it may change because the petrolatum can build a protective layer and therefore, the sunscreen may not be able to do the job correctly. But with almost every moisturizer on the market, it is the opposite. Which one are you using? 🤔 And what sunscreen do you use?

Im using the sunscreen-drs leenarts suncare spf50. With the natural moisturizing factors + HA from the Ordinary. Thank you for replying :D

@@valke1696 Okay, so in this case, it's easy. Use Natural Moisturizing factors before your sunscreen :)

@@jamesstephen3584 You do not need to use the moisturizer with sunscreen in the evening. What moisturizer do you currently use? Is your skin still getting darker?

I suggest using another cream since the snail essence tends to sting very often, and it is probably not ideal for a damaged skin barrier. Instead, look for something protective such as CeraVe Moisturizing cream or probably a balm such as La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume.
