The COSRX Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence is a dual-chambered serum that combines 74.3% snail secretion filtrate with a brightening essence infused with niacinamide. This innovative formulation delivers intense hydration, skin-repairing benefits, and a radiant glow all in one pump. The clear essence strengthens and soothes the skin barrier, while the creamy essence visibly brightens and evens out skin tone, leaving the complexion plump, smooth, and luminous.
After cleansing and toning, press the pump to dispense both essences simultaneously. Mix them together in your palm and gently apply to the face, avoiding the eye area. Pat in until fully absorbed. Use morning and night, and follow with moisturizer. For daytime use, finish with sunscreen.
COSRX is a Korean skincare brand known for its science-based, minimalist approach to effective skincare. The name “COSRX” comes from a combination of “cosmetics” and “prescription (Rx),” reflecting the brand’s goal to provide customized solutions for various skin concerns using short, clean ingredient lists and high-performance actives. COSRX’s Advanced Snail line is internationally recognized for its skin-healing properties and gentle formulations, trusted by those with sensitive, acne-prone, and damaged skin.
The formula features snail secretion filtrate (74.3%), niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, allantoin, adenosine, panthenol, betaine, ceramide NP, and tranexamic acid. These ingredients work together to deeply hydrate, restore the skin barrier, and brighten dull or uneven skin tone.
This essence is suitable for dry, dull, sensitive, combination, and post-acne skin types. It’s especially effective for those looking to improve skin texture, hydration, and radiance without irritation. However, it may not be ideal for very oily or fungal acne-prone skin, as the richness of snail mucin and certain emollients could be too heavy or triggering for those concerns.
