COSRX SNAIL MUCIN BREAKS ME OUT

greetings, skincare peeps! might want to help me figure out why im breaking out from cosrx'snail mucin essence. It's a holy grail for everyone but for me idk, it just doesnt work. do you know why? does this have a purging effect or this is already breaking out??? 😩 I've had high expectations from this product at first since a lot of people had their glass skin from this one 🥲 has anyone experienced this one also?? would it go away if i use the essence for a long time since it will get used to the ingredients already?? comments/suggestions would be highly appreciated, thank you! 🤍☺️

oh no! sad to hear because I loved this product so much!! no, snail mucin is generally a gentle ingredient and does not cause purging everyone's skin is different though, so perhaps your skin and snail simply Dont work together?

I'm so sorry that it didn't work for you... BUT what made you think that breakout is caused due to this mucin it may also be due to other products in ur routine...

No there is no purging effect with snail mucin If you are allergic to dust or dust mites then you’ll break out with that product. i can’t remember exactly why but people with that allergy can’t use the product or they’ll break out. You are allergic to it so no it won’t go away with continued use. I would discontinue and try another essence

Snail mucin doesn't work for my skin either, some of the products I've tried contain snail mucin which makes my skin red and itchy, but it doesn't make breakout on my skin, but I suggest you stop using it if like that, i think your skin is allergic to snails.

Perhaps the snail mucin does not get along with another product in your routine & that's causing you to break out? You could patch test the snail mucin on your for 4 days continuously to check if it indeed isn't suitable for you.
