Formulated with 96.3% snail secretion filtrate, this lightweight essence sinks in fast and aims to hydrate, soothe and repair skin that is feeling dry or stressed.

It is hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested, and COSRX is keen to point out the snails come to no harm. At 4.5 stars from over 103,000 ratings it is a well-loved staple, though patch test if your skin is fussy. Check the current price on Amazon.

How it compares in Skin Care
Across the 42 rated skin care products we track, the typical score is 4.6 out of 5. This one sits at 4.5, which is around the middle of the category. Ratings alone will not separate it from its rivals here, so price and the specifics below matter more than the star count.
It carries 103,425 ratings against a category median of 9,783. A rating from a large base is harder to distort and tends to hold up over time, so a high score here means more than the same score on a new listing.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £5.00 to £41.60, where the midpoint is about £11.60. Paying above the category norm needs a reason beyond the rating, because the score alone does not justify the gap here.
