Black Snail Retinol Ampoule
As someone who's been exposed to snail mucin in K-beauty for over a decade, it takes a lot to impress me with this ingredient. I learned back in high school that my skin didn’t get along with snail mucin—Cosrx actually caused me new acne issues—so I avoided it for a long time. A few years ago, I revisited it and while I don’t get the same reactions anymore, I’ve found that newer ingredients in K-beauty seem to work better for me overall.
I gave this product a try for a couple of days, and I have mixed feelings. While the formulation has its merits, I don’t see myself reaching for it often. Here’s why I’m giving it a 3.5/5:
🐌 It's packed with great ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide, retinol, tocopherol, and centella asiatica. You might notice skin brightening and revitalization.
🐌 The formula is too thick for a dropper. A pump would’ve been more efficient—sometimes the dropper doesn’t pick up any product, which is frustrating. The packaging needs a revamp.
🐌 There is fragrance, which doesn’t bother me—I actually prefer some fragrance in skincare. However, the scent here is a bit stronger than I’d like.
🐌 The texture is smooth and goopy. While it doesn’t leave a sticky residue, it feels somewhat heavy on the skin, and that weight takes time to disappear. I think this would work better for drier skin types, as I have oily-combination skin.
Overall, I like the formula but not the packaging or the slightly heavy feeling it leaves on my face.
Felt a tad bit heavy on oily combination skin and the design of the dropper isn’t the best for this formula.
