Cosrx snail cream is quite lightweight, even if used thick for slugging I personally don’t think it’s that occlusive to cause clogged pores like let’s say Vaseline could (though vaseline itself isn’t comedogenic).
Some folks do develop allergy reactions to snail mucin which is not uncommon.
I apply retinol nightly before snail mucin cream with no issue.
In my case, the cream works along really well with my retinol, it acts as my barrier protectant and makes my skin looks and feels healthy.
If you think you may have allergy to snail mucin, the only way to find out is to get allergy test with a derm, it can also discover other substances that you’re allergic to that you didn’t even know before.

(Anecdotal) During the first two weeks of using Neogen Snail Cream, my skin would turn red and feel warm. More evident when used together with tretinoin. I kept using it since it was just temporary redness. After a while I guess my skin got used to snail mucin because it didn’t react anymore. I’m actually loving this moisturizer right now, I’m on my second tub!
I would honestly not use it anymore if I got rashes or pimples. Maybe you can try using it on you neck or chest to see what would happen? I’m not familiar with snail mucin physiology, can not make an educated recommendation.
