Just now after i pat dry my face and put on my cosrx essence like i always did, my skin feel burn especially around my eyelid, then i noticed redness, and itchy at my jawline. :( idk why, before this i used the essence, it's okay. but idk tonight i felt like my skin sensitized with it. 😭😭😭 i'm so tired, help me. what's wrong with my skin. I thought snail mucin is good for sensitive skin?

so sorry to hear that! it will pass my dear don't worry too much! that's part of having a sensitive skin and I can totally relate to what happened to you. it doesn't necessarily have to be because of the product. sometimes the skin just revolts and turns bit##y for noapparent reason, and products that you have been using for komths will just irritate your skin out of nowhere. what I would suggest though is to cut back on all the products you are using and give it a rest. give it time to recover. and if you have these two at home, they would help you get over it quickly (I never stay without them). get well soon ❤❤❤

tea tree oil can sensitize the skin! so it might be the cleanser and not the essence

yeah, the cleanser does strip me out, i felt tight around my cheeks and forehead when i used it. i hve acnes on my forehead cause i broke out from cerave cream, so i tried the cleanser cause i thought it was good, nah it's not for me. so i gave it away to my friend instead, and she likes it.

Sorry to hear that hun! I've not experienced burning sensations with this snail mucin but I have with some other products because my skin is dry and sensitive too. For any new products that I try, I always thin it out first by applying a small amount after misting or wetting my skin with water. And then once my skin is used to it, I will lessen the amount of water. I've tried the low pH gel cleanser before and it was too drying for my skin since it's dry. I still use a cleanser to help with acne but I only use it at night and only twice a week. Please stick to a gentle cleanser and a simple moisturiser. Hope you'll heal soon.

I used the Cosrx snail cream and had a similar reaction . I was left with dry itchy patches on my face. I then tried Beauty of Joseon snail serum and my skin is perfectly fine with it 🤷‍♀️ but like others said it could be the cleanser. I have a feeling I've read that cleanser can be quite stripping. Maybe try a more gentle cleanser once your skin is happy again..And then incorporate the snail essence and see what happens. I hope you feel better soon 💕
