To my friends that have reactions to snail mucin in products (allergy, sensitivity, etc) have you found another ingredient that has similar effects?

I love how the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence made my skin look so glowy, hydrated, and plump but the breakouts it gave me weren’t worth it and I find myself missing the results it gave now.

Aside from Hyaluronic Acid, of course! Which is already a definite staple in my routine :)

Would love to hear everyone’s suggestions!

Snail Mucin Alternatives

For the past 9 months I’ve been using Differin (Adapalene, a retinoid) and I like the results a lot and am looking for an actual retinol since I just turned 26 and they’re stronger. I started using Adapalene to hopefully prepare my sensitive skin beforehand, and I’m looking for recommendations since I’m ready to move up - Especially from those with similar skin to me! Please 🥺

It can be from anywhere and any brand :)

Retinol Recommendations For Dry & Sensitive Skin

It doesn’t apply well. It might be silly, but I think stuff like this.. skin pampering.. kind of products should be a good experience when applying. It’s not as creamy as I’d like, and it doesn’t spread well. It almost looks stiff and grainy. I haven’t seen any difference in my skin!

Though I prefer fragrance-free masks, I think the smell is pleasant and not too overwhelming. This mask also feels really refreshing on the skin, especially when slightly cooled.

Oof she’s expensive. I bought two tubes and ran out so quickly. Despite it feeling nice on this lips, I don’t think it’s very hydrating at all and needs to be re-applied very often.

I love that it’s a different experience than the OG Sleeping Mask. I love tube balms and the packaging for these is adorable. I love the peachy scent, and the texture is lovely. It goves such a beautiful glossy sheen to the lips and is easy to re-apply.

Unfortunately, this has a decent amount of fragrance. At least to me!

It feels so so nice when applied. It has the gel to water texture and it absorbs really well. The packaging is cute and thenpump is always nice. It’s definitely worth a try!

My only beef with this is that its suggested thst it should be used twice a day for full affect. I can’t do that right now due to another product in my night routine, so I can’t get the full benefits :(

It has a nice texture and is super easy to pat into the skin. Adds almost an immediate glow and it absorbs quick into the skin. It layers really well with other products!

I really like the short but chubby packaging! It’s easy to take along and fits in my pocket! The formula is liquid-y and easy to spread and it absorbs well. No white cast. It has a light matte finish that gives a slight glow?
