How it works
The Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser is a 50ml gel cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. The humectant it is built around is Snail Secretion Filtrate, named tenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Arginine, so the humectant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Snail Secretion Filtrate stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the gel cleanser format rather than by the list alone. COSRX sells this Snail Secretion Filtrate gel cleanser in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Cleanser, from COSRX's Korean-market lineup, 50 ml
- The barcode and batch code on the box are the Korean-market ones, unaltered
- COSRX verifies units itself, on cosrx.com, against the batch number and expiration date printed on your unit.
Key actives
Butylene Glycol
a multifunctional glycol that carries moisture and helps preserve the formula
Snail Secretion Filtrate
a moisture-retentive filtrate that lays down hydration and helps the surface hold onto it

Where does this gel cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this gel cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Snail Secretion Filtrate and not three changes at once.
Does this gel cleanser contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this gel cleanser is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Snail Secretion Filtrate?
Arginine. The order they are printed in on this gel cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Snail Secretion Filtrate sits relative to them. Snail Secretion Filtrate itself is named tenth on it.

How to use
- Use the Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser as your first step, morning and evening, on a face wet with lukewarm water.
- A pea-sized amount, worked between wet palms into a thin lather, then massaged over the face for twenty seconds.
- Rinse and go straight to your toner while skin is still damp, then serum and moisturizer in the usual order.
- Twice a day is the ceiling. Do not add a third wash on a bare-skin day; there is nothing left on the face to take off by then.
Worth knowing
- Fragrance is on the ingredient list.
- Snail secretion filtrate is animal-derived, so this is not a vegan formula.
