CosRx Mucin Essence Question

JudyL — Sun, 02 Jun 2024 16:56:06 GMT

Have a question for those that use the snail mucin essence product. I have been using it at night after all my other serums and just before my night cream. Have noticed a definite tackiness to my skin but also my night cream pilling a bit. Thinking it might not be liking the Perlier Youth serums I'm using or maybe I'm using too much? I'm open to any ideas that you may have.

Questions - When do you use your essence - morning or night? At what step in your routine do you use it? How many pumps do you use?

Thank you!

Since I use Tretinoin at night, I use one pump of CosRx Essence contained with a drop or two of Vit C and a drop of Perlier Hylauronic acid in the am. I apply to face/neck/dec and rub residual on my hands/arms. Yes, it's a bit tacky but I don't have pilling after letting it dry and then adding a serum and/or cream and always sunscreen.

@Jk9 - Thank you for responding. I was thinking that maybe I need to let it dry down at night before adding my night cream.

@JudyL I use my Geek Air little fan to be sure I am dried before adding more products.

I apply 3 pumps of mucin in the AM only just after my VC serum to my face and then repeat that for my neck/dec. Moisturizer goes on last.

ETA-

On the days I wear sunscreen, I skip the mucin and apply the ss instead. I think it would be too much layering going on with the mucin and ss.

@JudyL - I use the snail mucin essence at night and I layer a bunch of stuff. No issues for me. Whatever I apply to my face, I finish by drawing it down to my neck. After I cleanse....

1. CosRx propolis essence (maybe a teaspoon) and the propolis ampoule (a few drops) mixed together - press in

2. Mist with rosewater. Snail Mucin Essence - 3 pumps

3. Lab Direct Power Punch Serum - a few drops

4. Perlier Pearls of Youth - 2-3 pumps

5. Perlier Youth Creator - maybe 1/3 dropper

6. Mist with rosewater. Moisturizer/Night Cream w/a couple drops of the Skinn Luminous Oil (Manuka)

Later, at bedtime, apply Retin A/Tretinoin

@JeanLouiseFinch - Thanks for your response. We use similar products. I use the Propolis essence and ampoule in the AM but the Perlier products I do use at night. They are the last serums I use right before the mucin essence. I don't mist with anything though but have heard you and @SilleeMee and @monicakm mention doing that. My PM routine is - after cleansing - the CosRx Galamytoces or whatever it's called essense, Timeless Matrixyl Synthe 6, Naturium Retinol serum complex, Naturium Niacinamide, the Perlier products, CosRx Snail Mucin, then night cream.

@SilleeMee - Thank you for responding. I remember you saying that you skip it on days you use sunscreen.

@Jk9 - Lately I've been thinking of getting a fan. Looked on Amazon and was overwhelmed with all the choices. Any suggestions? I want a rechargeable one not a battery operated one.

Edited to add: Found one on Amazon!

@JudyL

Get the Geek Aire fan from HSN! I've had mine for a few years and it's great. This is the one I own, almost this color but mine is a bit more pink than this 'Rose' color. The fan head comes off the handle where you can use the handle as a power bank.

$20 +sh

@JudyL - I use The galactomyces in th AM. Anyway, I wonder if it would make a difference if you switched up the order of application?

I'm impressed with the dedication some have in their AM and PM skincare. I use undereye cream, a toner, sunscreen (if outside for several hours) and moisturizer during the day.

PM I cleanse and follow with a different moisturizer. Lactic acid twice a week. Very simple compared to others, but it seems to work for me. I am not patient enough to use that many serums constantly.

@JeanLouiseFinch - I was wondering about that too. Try to follow the "lightest to heaviest" rule for the serums. Will think about it today and try something different tonight.

@monicakm and @JeanLouiseFinch - Tonight think I will switch up the order of my routine and put the snail mucin on first then the rest and see how it goes.

@JudyL I use the same type of Geek Air fan from HSN as @SilleeMee. They're rechargeable and I have 4 of them. I also take one with me to places like Costco and prop in the shopping cart on my purse since it gets hot in some parts of the stores. Very versatile fans and can be used as a charge bank.
