Hi, beauties!
 
I am starting a discussion regarding COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream - a holy grail to many but a great disappointment to me, unfortunately 😞. 

I bought it after a thorough research I conducted on my own 😅.
The ingredients are amazing, the reviews were great, the results this product promises are incredible and I was pretty much intrigued. I was influenced by an Instagram page combining all these phenomenal claims. Done - I was convinced - I am buying this jar of unique hydration. 

Unfortunately, that was not the case for me. 
Instead of hydration, this cream made my skin extremely dry and flaky. 
I used it on its own without any other moisturiser - my skin was dry. 
I combined it with other moisturisers that I KNOW work great for my skin - La Roche Posay Toleriane Riche & Cicaplast - 2 holy grails that have helped me so much throughout my skin journey. The results are the same - my skin lacks hydration and it is sensitive. 
I was puzzled - the All in One Cream never helped my skin; instead it worsen it - despite all the great reviews & ingredients. 

Has anyone had the same complaints while using this product? 

What is your opinion on the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power ESSENCE? I have my eyes on this product (again thanks to the positive reviews I have read) but I am pretty much afraid that it would have the same effect. 

I would live to hear your opinion & experience on these products!

DRYNESS AND NOT A SIGN OF THE PROMISED HYDRATION - COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream

Absolutely great!
Since I’ve started using it, my skin has visibly improved. I rarely get any breakouts, whiteheads are a lot less and pores are less visible. I have been using it for 3 months now and barely used 1&#47;4 of the bottle - it’s budget friendly and definitely a game changer! An absolutely favourite part of my PM routine!

The texture is bizarre - you cannot apply makeup on top of it since the product peels.

HOLY GRAIL!
Thanks to this product my skin has cleared up drastically - both from new pimples and hyperpigmentation. 
Lasts a long time.
🟩 TIP: use it as a spot treatment for new breakouts. Apply generous amount of the products on top of the breakout so you cover the pimple itself and the area around it. It should dry and leave white cast behind. I found that the breakouts decrease in size, pain and redness. Saw results when applied like this overnight and during the day, when I am staying at home. Reapply if needed. Be cautious to not overtreat the area.

A really great product! I love it!
Soothes, hydrates and nourishes the skin. Helps repairing the skin barrier. 
The consistency is thick which makes it perfect for extra hydration during your night routine. 
Helped me soothe my skin after a really unsuccessful attempt to incorporate a new vit.A product. I was left with extremely dry, irritated, red and peeling skin, no product could help me. That’s when I bought Cicaplast. After some nights of using it, my skin was back to normal. 
I continue using it &amp; loving it!
10&#47;10 would recommend!
✅ TIP: use it locally on a spot to speed up the healing process. “Pile” some of the product over the spot, ofter reapply and watch the redness go away. 😍 You will see improvement in a day!

I would advise you to use this product with caution. 
It is the lowest concentration of retinaldehyde, suitable for sensitive skin. My skin IS sensitive, indeed, that is why I chose to start with this product. I have been using tretinoin for 9 months and have seen great results - no blemish in sight, rarely an irritation appears, my skin was smooth and even (I am using also BHA, hyaluronic acid, azelaic acic as other active ingredients, but never in the same routine with retinol; everyday SPF application). I have decided to try this product since I have run out of tretinoin. Unfortunately, I have experienced the worst dryness and skin irritation on places I have not applied CrystalRetinal. The skin under my jaw and on my ears was peeling; the same goes to my scalp. It was so irritated that I had to apply topical steroids (under my jaw) to soothe my skin. Also, there were new breakouts every day, some of which were on the surface of the skin, others were painful and deep inside the skin. Yes, I know that it “gets worse before it gets better” and that I had to give it some time but this product did more harm than good. I have been using it for a month, following the instructions and have started on absolutely blemish-free skin due to my regular use of tretinoin... I really wanted to love this product. 
That was my not-so-pleasant experience with this product. If you have sensitive skin, be cautious and expect dryness, irritation and breakouts.

I have read incredible reviews of this product. 
The consistency is nice. 

But I did not see any good changes to my skin using this product.

Thanks to this sunscreen I have been struggling with cystic breakouts that were so severe and painful I was devastated. The moment I stopped using it, my skin cleared up. 
🔴 oily texture;
🔴 leaves white cast;
🔴 in my opinion it does not absorb well into the skin.
