How it works
An all-in-one cream is bought to be the only leave-on step in a short routine, so it has to hold water and seal it in one pass. This is the tube edition of COSRX's snail cream, the same idea as the jar in a format that travels and stays cleaner. It goes on last, morning and evening, warmed between the fingertips and pressed in rather than rubbed around. Skin that feels tight after cleansing is the case it fits, and it works on its own or over a serum. Twice a day, with a second thin pass wherever skin runs driest.
Key benefits
- Snail secretion filtrate is first on the list, in a formula eighteen ingredients long, the shortest count in the brand's snail line
- Betaine and sodium hyaluronate sit second and sixth, holding water at the surface behind the mucin
- Panthenol and allantoin handle comfort without adding a second fragrance or botanical layer
- Adenosine closes the list for a firmer-looking finish
- The tube format carries the identical short list as the jar; only the packaging changes
- No fragrance, no parfum, no essential oil on the list
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream (Tube)
What does this tube version of the snail cream actually contain?
This tube of Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream opens its own eighteen-ingredient list with snail secretion filtrate, followed by betaine and sodium hyaluronate, the pair that holds water at the surface once the mucin settles in. Panthenol and allantoin sit mid list for everyday comfort, and adenosine closes it out for a firmer-looking finish. It's built as a single all-in-one step rather than a layered multi-serum routine.
Is it suitable for vegan or fragrance-sensitive skin?
This tube's own list carries no added fragrance, no essential oil, no denatured alcohol, no paraben, no sulfate surfactant, no mineral oil, and no added colourant, a reasonable starting point for skin that reacts to any of those. Snail secretion filtrate is an animal-derived ingredient, though, so this formula doesn't fit a strictly vegan routine. Anyone with a known sensitivity to snail mucin specifically should read the panel on the box before trying it.
Does the effect build with use or show up right away?
Snail secretion filtrate and sodium hyaluronate work as humectants, drawing and holding moisture rather than changing skin overnight, so the plumper, more comfortable feel associated with this cream tends to build with repeated daily use rather than after one application. Adenosine, near the end of the list, is the kind of ingredient Korean formulas lean on for a longer-term firmer look. Sticking with it as a daily last step is how this list is meant to perform.
Do I still need a separate moisturizer with this?
Because it's formulated as an all-in-one last step, most routines apply this cream after a toner or serum and skip stacking a separate moisturizer underneath it. Whether it plays well under a heavier night cream or a retinol product isn't something this tube's own ingredient list can settle, so introduce any additional step gradually. Its own eighteen-ingredient list keeps the formula simple enough to layer thin serums underneath without much guesswork.
How can I confirm this tube is genuine COSRX?
The barcode on this tube, 8809598455566, is the same Korean-market code COSRX prints on the box, not a number substituted for a different market's packaging. Rather than asking you to trust a seller's word, COSRX runs its own verification tool on cosrx.com, where the batch number and expiration date printed on your specific unit get checked directly. Reading those two details off your own box, not off a listing photo, is the step that actually confirms it.

Ingredient list read from jolse.com on 9 September 2026.
18 of 18 explained
- Snail Secretion Filtrate humectant
- Snail Secretion Filtrate is the mucin a snail produces, filtered for cosmetic use, and it is the ingredient the Korean snail category is built on. It carries glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid, and it is used for hydration and a smoother-looking surface.
- Betaine humectant
- Betaine is a sugar-beet-derived humectant that cells use to hold water. In a formula it hydrates and takes the edge off cleansers and acids, which is why it often appears alongside them.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
- Cetearyl Olivate emulsifier
- Cetearyl Olivate is the water-loving half of the olive-derived emulsifier pair. With sorbitan olivate it builds emulsions whose lipid profile is close to skin's own.
- Sorbitan Olivate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Olivate is an olive-derived emulsifier, the oil-loving half of the pair sold as Olivem. It holds oil into water and leaves a light, non-waxy feel.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Cetearyl Alcohol fatty alcohol
- Cetearyl Alcohol is a waxy solid, not the drying kind of alcohol. It is a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols used to thicken a cream and keep oil and water from separating, and it softens skin as it does so.
- Stearic Acid fatty acid
- Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid from plant fats, and one of the three lipid classes skin's own barrier is built from. In a formula it thickens, stabilises the emulsion and can be turned into a soap-style cleanser by adding a base.
- Arginine amino acid
- Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
- Dimethicone silicone
- Dimethicone is the most used cosmetic silicone. It forms a breathable film that smooths the surface, slows water leaving skin, and gives the slip that makes a primer or cream feel silky. It is inert and does not penetrate.
- Carbomer thickener
- Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
6 more explained
- Allantoin active
- Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
- Sodium Polyacrylate thickener
- Sodium Polyacrylate is a polymer that absorbs many times its weight in water. It thickens a formula and holds water in a gel against the skin.
- Xanthan Gum thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
- Ethyl Hexanediol humectant
- Ethyl Hexanediol is a glycol that hydrates and makes a formula less hospitable to microbes, the same double role 1,2-hexanediol plays.
- Adenosine active
- Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
- Phenoxyethanol preservative
- Phenoxyethanol is the most widely used cosmetic preservative outside the paraben family. It keeps a water-containing formula from growing bacteria and mould, and is capped at one percent in most markets, so it always sits low on a list.

How to use
- Use the Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream from the tube as the last step, morning and evening.
- A short squeeze for the face and a little more for the neck, warmed between fingertips before it goes on.
- It closes the evening routine, and in the morning sunscreen goes over the top of it.
- Twice a day. Do not squeeze out more than a pea at a time; an all-in-one cream pills when it is layered on thick.
Worth knowing
- Snail secretion filtrate is animal-derived, so this is not a vegan formula.
