Product Information

One of the most well known snail based products is without a doubt the CosRx Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream. This product was designed to utilize all of the amazing benefits of snail mucin or snail secretion filtrate, alongside a slightly more occlusive base to form a nourishing, all-year moisturizer. Like most of the products from Cosrx, the emphasis within this formula falls on the active ingredient, while keeping the rest of the formula relatively minimal for ease of use. As the name would suggest, the Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream contains 92% snail mucin, which can help with everything from fading signs of hyperpigmentation to calming redness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Snail mucin got its claim to fame because of how effectively it produces results without compromising the health and balance of your skin. Because of this, snail mucin and products that contain snail mucin are extremely well suited to almost any skin type. With that said, because this is more of a cream based formula, we’d recommend this product in particular to those with more dry or dehydrated skin types.

About My Skin: Combination with hyperpigmentation and monthly hormonal breakouts When you're dealing with hormonal acne, standard pimple patches often aren't able to reach the nodules under the skin, which can be painful and difficult to get rid of. These patches are the ones that you'll want to try to get those hard-to-reach blemishes. It has a two-step process: swipe the pad (which is infused with tea tree oil and salicylic acid) on clean skin and then apply the patch directly to the blemish. It's made with super-fine microneedles so that the ingredients are able to penetrate the skin better, and the patch is also formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides to hydrate and heal the affected area and effectively flatten the pimple. However, there is no point in applying hydrocolloid patches on a still inflamed papule since it hasn't come to the surface of your skin, and there is nothing to be readily absorbed.

COSRX Centella Blemish Cream is a mild, soothing cream formulated for those with acne-prone and troubled skin. The key ingredients in this facial cream include Centella asiatica leaf water and zinc oxide. Together, these ingredients hydrate skin while reducing inflammation inside the pores. We’ll explain more of the benefits of Centella asiatica in the next section. Hydrocolloid patches are created for the end-stage of your inflammatory pimple, where you can observe the yellow pus (pustules) at the end of your pimple. This means that the inflammatory process has subsided, and it only leaves your skin with the remaining debris and pus. Sooner or later, the top layer of your skin will eventually break, and people usually refer to this as a pimple "pop". However, when your pimple pops, it means that your pores are prone to reinfection. Reinfection causes more skin inflammation and indirectly increases the chance of scarring/hyperpigmentation. That's why a pimple patch will help you cover it up, absorb the excess pus and protect the pimples from the invasion of other acne-causing bacteria. Dime Beauty Power Patches are an excellent choice if you're looking for something containing salicylic acid, and Peter Thomas Roth Acne-Clear Invisible Dots are a great option with tea tree oil. Some patches, like Mario Badescu Drying Patches, contain both.

As the name implies, the key ingredient in COSRX Centella Blemish Cream is Centella asiatica leaf water. Centella asiatica, also known as gotu kola and tiger grass, is a perennial plant native to the wetlands in Asia. It is a rich source of natural bioactive substances, including triterpenoid saponins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, amino acids, and sugars. The most important compounds in tiger grass are asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. The Centella asiatica leaf water in COSRX Centella Blemish Cream should enhance moisturization, calm inflammation, and stimulate collagen synthesis after topical application. Radha MH, et al.

The Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser is easily one of the most iconic products from cult favorite K-beauty brand Cosrx. Cosrx has made a huge global impact and was one of the first brands to use the principles of K-beauty to formulate products for a global market. Because of this, all of their products focus on simplicity, using only what is needed, and catering towards hydration and care rather than stripping the skin with too many actives. The Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is exactly how it sounds: an energizing, purifying cleanser with a gel-like texture that has been formulated at a pH of 5. Although this isn’t mentioned as frequently, the pH of your skincare products is actually crucial in terms of formulation, as well as the amount of benefit it leaves on the skin. For example, a cleanser with a higher pH can often feel more stripping and drying on the skin, which can result in irritation in the long run. With a lower pH however, this product is able to remove dry, grime and oil from your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. We noticed that COSRX doesn’t use just one key ingredient throughout their collection of skincare products. Rather, COSRX skincare products contain a variety of beneficial ingredients. Let’s take a closer look at the key ingredients you’ll find in each of the best selling COSRX skincare products we introduced above. Period, pimples. I forgot to wash my face, pimples.

But, as I've gotten older, I realize that less is more for my sensitive, reactive skin. I can no longer experiment with new skincare products the same way I used to because the tiniest change can cause my skin to break out in painful, red bumps. Fragrance, physical exfoliators, and overzealous cleansers set those reactions off. My skincare routine is now hydrating and straightforward. I start with cleansing twice a day with a cream cleanser. For my daytime routine, I apply niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. At night, I tone and use retinol. In between cleansing, I chemically exfoliate and apply a clarifying mask once a week.
