COSRX

#LYKOINFLUTESTER #COSRX I really wanted to love this product, especially since it has so much hype, but unfortunately, it doesn't quite meet the needs of my skin type. I give it 3 out of 5 stars, as it is a good moisturizer, but has some significant weaknesses for me. My skin type: Extremely dry and low in fat (lipid-poor). Moisture and effect: I find that the essence provides an immediate moisture boost, but unfortunately, it is not sufficient to meet the needs of my skin. It fails to hold enough of the moisture I add, resulting in my skin quickly feeling dry and tight again, especially now in the cold season. I have to use much heavier and creamier products on top to prevent my skin from cracking. For my skin, which requires a robust moisture barrier, I unfortunately experience better and more long-lasting results with other moisturizing essences. Consistency and application (Your main complaint): The biggest issue for me is the consistency. The essence is sticky and tacky, and I find it difficult to apply and "work with" in my skincare routine. It sits heavily on the surface and can create problems with pilling or "rolling off" when I try to apply moisturizer or sunscreen over it. To make it work, I have to press it into my skin, but even then it is impractical in a multi-step process. Conclusion: This is probably a nice essence for those with normal, combination, or lighter skin who just want a quick and light moisture boost. It is reasonably priced, but for those with very dry and demanding skin that needs deep, long-lasting moisture and a good moisture barrier, I would recommend looking for a creamier variant. The essence does not deliver enough to become a staple in my routine.

I have had this stuck in a jar and it got a bit sticky, but it lasted a really long time and I love it, so I hope the tube stays clean

One of Cosrx's best-selling products after the snail essence is this cream. A cream with snail mucin to plump and hydrate. Pairs well with the essence for extra effect. It has a very slimy consistency and is generally quite sticky, so be prepared. I think it's good that it also comes in a tube since the jars get extremely sticky as it easily threads. But the cream absorbs very quickly into my dry skin and gives good results. However, I have a really hard time with the jar, which brings down the rating. +hydrates +plumps +glow -sticky -jar -some may be allergic -not vegan #LYKOINFLUTESTER #cosrx
