About the Product
This gentle gel-to-foam cleanser is formulated with 10,000ppm of Snail Secretion Filtrate—a deeply hydrating ingredient known for helping skin retain moisture and supporting its natural repair processes. The dense gel transforms into a soft, cushioned lather that lifts away makeup, dirt, and daily buildup without leaving your skin feeling tight or stripped. Works beautifully as a second step in double cleansing or on its own for your morning and evening routine.
Who is This For?
Suitable for all skin types, but especially helpful if you tend toward dryness or dehydration and want a cleanser that actually leaves your skin feeling comfortable. Also a great choice if you're already using snail mucin products and want to keep your routine consistent.

FAQs
Q: Is COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser good for sensitive skin?
A: This cleanser uses mild surfactants and is formulated without harsh sulfates, making it suitable for many sensitive skin types. However, it does contain fragrance, so patch testing is recommended for highly reactive skin.
Q: Can I use this cleanser to remove waterproof makeup?
A: This gel cleanser effectively removes light to medium makeup and daily impurities. For waterproof or heavy makeup, use an oil-based cleanser first, then follow with this gel cleanser as a second cleanse.
Q: Does this product have a strong scent?
A: The formula contains added fragrance, resulting in a mild scent. Those with fragrance sensitivities should consider this before use.
Q: Can I use this with my AHA or BHA products?
A: Yes, this cleanser works well before chemical exfoliants. Just allow your skin to dry completely after cleansing before applying acids.
Q: When should I use this cleanser—morning, night, or both?
A: You can use it twice daily. It works well as a morning cleanser on its own or as the second step in your double-cleansing routine at night.
Q: Will this cleanser help with acne or breakouts?
A: While snail mucin supports skin repair and hydration, this is primarily a gentle cleanser rather than an acne treatment. It won't aggravate breakouts, but pair it with targeted actives if acne is a main concern.
Q: How long before I notice softer, more hydrated skin?
A: Most users notice their skin feels more comfortable immediately after cleansing. For cumulative hydration benefits, expect to see improvement within 1-2 weeks of consistent use.
How to Use
Wet face thoroughly with lukewarm water. Dispense a pea-sized amount of cleanser onto palms. Rub palms together to create a lather. Apply the foam to face, massaging gently in circular motions from forehead down to jawline. Rinse completely with warm water and pat skin dry.
Out of all the cleansers I've tried, this has been the most effective and least irritating. I use it as a morning cleanser and it has a pleasant, natural smell. It doesn't foam too much if you don't lather it so it doesn't strip my face of necessary oils. I've been using it for around 6 months and I still have a lot left.

Each time that I use this cleanser, it leaves my face feeling smooth and toned. It even helped clear up and calm down some breakouts that I was having during a particularly bad week.
