Hi Alice, just wanted to say THANK YOU for your entertaining humorous and informative videos.

Your skin looks flawless, you’d never tell that you suffer with acne and have dry skin!❤

Informative as always!

I use and love every product in their propolis line. It’s one of the first K Beauty lines I tried. It’s what convinced me to try others. I use the toner every morning, the cream every night, the ampoule every Sunday (my “spa” day), and the mask as a regular mask rather than leaving it on overnight .

I haven’t watched a video of yours since your June empties and now I’m journeying down the rabbit hole at 2am. 😅 I’ll fall asleep eventually to the sound of your voice talking about skincare😂

Another great video Alice! Thank you for your work! ❤

I have been using the snail essence for years and my newest bottle is 100% more watery!! This is the first time I've heard anyone talk about it so thank you. It's really disappointing that it's changed 😢

I've been using their snail mucin for a few months and I like it a lot. I also use it on my extremely dry feet.

Love the video! I love the Cosrx Cica Toner. It's my HG toner. I don't have red or super sensitive skin, just incredibly dry and dehydrated skin. I haven't found anything that feels as good as their cica toner. But I may be biased. It was the first K-beauty toner I ever tried. Maybe even the first K-Beauty product I tried in general. It'll probably always have a special place in my heart ❤️😊

Would love to see a rereview of biossance!! Ah or good molecules !! & I would LOVEE to see a full review from you on krave beauty ! There products interest me so much & would love to see your thoughts as well. You should do a KZfaq poll!

I ADORE that propolis toner! It literally gives me glass skin! It’s soooo good!

Alice! Hi! Omg I laughed so hard when u said the ordinary 😂 peptide booster has become my #1 I’m obsessed! propolis toner takes the booby prize! Cica toner is #3 A lot of Cosrx products though I don’t get along with because of the palm oil. My skin hates that stuff and I break out when it’s high on the inci. Snail mucin was definitely reformulated with the pump change but Cosrx didn’t mention it. Was my holy grail from 2017-2022 sad to say goodbye. Replaced with vegan mucin! Old: Snail Secretion Filtrate, Betaine, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Arginine, Allantoin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol New: Snail Secretion Filtrate, Betaine, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Carbomer, Panthenol, Arginine 1-6 dominant. They basically changed the concentration levels of the ingredients.

I have normal,fairly hardy aging skin. I no longer have acne but since I started walking 2+ hours a day I do get the occasional blackhead (I walk in a city with lots of hills). I have been using the CosRX snail mucin essence for a very long time. It was my FIRST KBeauty product. But as I added more products I thought it was a bit redundant so I stopped using it for a year and then I got dehydrated and repurchased it. I haven’t noticed it being watery but the last 2 bottles I got from Amazon as they were out in Stylevana. I did switch to the cream in a jar but I hated sticking me fingers in it. I did purchase the low ph cleanser as many said they loved it but I found it too drying. However it’s the best cleanser for removing extreme makeup after an oil cleanse so I haven’t ditched it. Recently I wanted to go back to using differin. The first time I used it I discovered my collarbone skin is sensitive to it and I got a strange sore. I wanted to prepare for starting it again and I bought some Purito barrier cream AND the CosRx Comfort ceramide cream. OMG!!!! I’ve been back on using Differin 3 times a week for 3 weeks and then suddenly my collarbone started to feel like my skin barrier there is going (I do NOT put Differin on that area). While I do finish both am and pm routines with the Purito barrier cream the CosRx is way more soothing so I’m using it under my eyes and on my collarbone…. I’m a fan. I’m gonna try for #1 pick in my next order.

I only started using the snail mucin this year snd i like it so far for the hydration but i havent used it long enough to notice anything else but ill still use it for that reason as of now.

Agreed, the synergy toner is sooooooo goooooooooood. It’s one of my favorites!

I rounded up like Kylie Jenner’s billionaire status (Sorry, it’s .0002%)

Gotta say, I was shocked that the snail mucin fell so far! You gave a great explanation though. I still love it when my skin barrier is compromised because it feels very soothing, but my bottle is from late 2022 so I can't speak to whether the formula has changed. My views of the cleansers and overnight rice mask are right on par with yours as someone who also has dry skin.

i have the full size spot cream! imo its okay. sometimes i saw great results and it did calm it down or help heal and not leave as bad of hyperpigmentation, but most of the time it doesnt do much for me

You are my favourite..I look forward to watching your videos.. Greetings from Greece

I haven't bought the snail essence recently (I bought my current bottle on a stock up a year ago), but your comments made me concerned because it is one of my very few "holy grail" products that I constantly keep in my daily routine. I've tried alternatives like peach slices and a few others (still want to try Jumiso), but thus far nothing's really done the same job of adding general skincare health, especially at the price. I did some searching and found some old articles with the ingredients list and from what I can see the most recent ingredients deck is the same ingredients as a 2016 upload, just with a different order starting with the 5th ingredient (previously Sodium Polyactrylate, a viscosity controlling ingredient per incidecorder, was at the bottom and it's now the 5th ingredient which could effect consistency). That said, I found uploaded in 2021 with an identical deck to what's currently listed on the Cosrx site though there could be sourcing changes that make a different feel. Guess I'll find out next time I purchase.

That propolis synergy toner is so popular and i see why. This stuff is so good on my combination skin. hydration, glow, brightening-this toner delivers it all

I actually really like the rice sleep mask it makes my skin look really glowy when i put it over a thick cream at night but i really like it as a makeup primer . My number 1 is also the proplolis toner then the cica fit toner but i haven't tried the peptides booster yet but that will probably kick the cica fit to number 3 lol .

Looking forward to Byoma. I love the balancing face mist toner.

Love your COSRX review. ❤. I have mostly K Beauty in my skincare routines but would like to try other brands. Could you review Stratia?

Hi Alice ! Can I use Cosrx full fit propolis synergy toner if I have dry skin and I don't have a single acne?

What is your favorite moisturizer? I do have a bit of a T-Zone, but otherwise sensitive mature dry skin.

Love this video. Please start doing this kind of videos with other brands as well.

Thank you Alice, you inspired me to try those products. I only have the snail mucin essence and cream but not for long. I do like them☺️i also love your lipstick, what is it? Really want to buy it😅!!

What about all of the other products in their propolis line like the cream and the ampule? How do you feel about those? I love your reviews and mash of cosplay etc and skincare The nerd in me adores it so much lol

I have not tried the calming liquid mild but they have an intensive version that i had a sample and i liked it. Ingredients are slightly different as intensive has propolis. It does have denatured alcohol and my sample did smell like it but with other ingredients think it is to keep the watery texture. I have combo to dry skin that is sensitive and did not have an issue.

Alice have you tried the Cosrx cica cream intense?? I have dry, acne prone like you,and this cream is beautiful. Specially like a night mask.

I love the cosrx propolis line. Have you tried their propolis ampoule? I think you’d enjoy it. I actually love the toner too, & in the mornings I like to mix 1-2 drops of the ampoule into the propolis cream (like it’s an oil!) & it feels lovely on my skin. I had the option to get either the cosrx propolis sleep mask or the PKY essence toner form tjmaxx(couldn’t afford both) Ended up getting PKY(which I have been loving) I tried the sleep mask once and honestly I couldn’t get over the gel texture so I had very low expectations for it and I honestly didn’t give it a good trial I just assumed it would be too light. I LOVE thick heavy night creams that I can feel on my skin yet don’t clog my pores & still wake up with my skin so soft and hydrated. Hard to find lol. (I absolutely love Pacifica wake up beautiful sleep mask but my skin doesn’t like the fragrance! 😠) But seeing your review makes me want to revisit that sleep mask! I haven’t tried the rice mask I’m surprised to hear the propolis one worked better for you! The rice one just appears to be much heavier, I haven’t been able to feel it in person tho. Also, I didn’t really like the cosrx lip sleep by itself. Def not enough for my dry ASFF lips! Sometimes I’ll use it as a first step, then follow with the cerave healing ointment then finish with the milk melatonin lip mask. Tbh I think the results would be the same weather or not I used the cosrx as a first step. Far from enough for me. & lastly I also hate how the aha bha toner is in a spray bottle ! Never understood that for an exfoliating product. They seem to just throw a sprayer on a few of there products at random lol

Another influerence just raved about thie propolis product, Tina Tanaka Harris, so I'm intrigued. They keep saying it's great for oily skin....she has dry skin and loves it, what do you think about using this on dry skin?

Might have to get that spot cream! B12 supplements have me a lot of pimples. Stopped the B12 a week ago but those pimples aren’t going down without a fight

Hi Alice, I laughed when you commented on the AHA BHA toner since I regretted buying it once. It served no purpose for me since I have stronger percentage of exfoliants in other products and I prefer mist in either pure mineral water or as soothing ingredients to relieve my skin irritation. 😅 I may try using the acne control cream since my Pyungkang Yul acne cream is frequently finished fast to control the cystic acne breakout... 😂 As for the snail mucin serum from Corsx, I am sorry to say I have moved on to the other brands since they have other actives to combat irritation... 😊

What do you recommend for my normal to oily skin guys?

I havent tried a ton from this brand, but i really like the peptide eye cream and the 92 all in one cream. For reference, i have oily dehydrated acne prone skin

I actually like the Centella toner mist, Definitely helps to calm my breakouts. I just ordered the new peptide serum so hopefully it works for me. With how much I spent, it better lol prices in Sardinia are so expensive compared to usa

Really have moved on too from this brand . I love In beauty. And their pimple paste is the best by far. Fun video as always !

I do love the Propolis toner, the BHA, 96% Snail, both over night masks and I'm waiting for the peptide booster. I also love the Peptide eye cream and the snail cream. I would love your knowledgeable brain to dive into the Reviv brand. I started using their Ultimate Serum, about 3 weeks ago, haven't seen any major changes, but I'm looking forward to seeing some results. Many blessings!!!

I used to really be obsessed with Cosrx, but now i've only stuck to a few key products. LOVE the propolis overnight mask and i had good results with the snail mucin serum with the double chamber, but haven't found myself yearning to repurchase it lol. maybe you can do an algenist re-review? i've found myself really enjoying the few products i have tried

Okay you’ve talked me into yet another toner 😂 I’ve had my eye on the propolis line for quite some time.

Also, if you're doing more western brands, I'd love your thoughts on Regimen Lab and Chemist Confession! They're both indie brands that the skincare community seems to love. Oh, and Niche Lab's Theramid, I'm personally interested in their take of Copper Peptides and their Azid (azelaic acid serum)

Yayyyy, cosrx 🥰

I most definitely noticed a change in texture and results from the COS RX snail mucin power essence like you mentioned does not wow me anymore be interested in others opinions also

Yeah…..the SkII video of yours is the one that hooked me! Up until that point, I was completely convinced that the cheaper alternatives were just as good. 😅

Looking forward to Byoma and InnBeauty. I really like byoma and love innBeauty’s lip oils.

Have you tried the cosrx peptide snail eye cream Alice? I wanted to try it.

Awesome overview as always!!!♥️🫶♥️

Hi Alice. Do you think the propolis toner would work in a fine mist spray bottle? I also have seen at least one derm and perhaps Lab Muffin that while they understand people like seeing percentages of things, it can sometimes skew perception since formulation is still important when it comes down to how a product is going to work.

Yay!! Greetings from tomorrow and the home of COSRX❤

What about the cica toner? I want to try it...

Hi Alice. I noticed you put gel and foaming cleansers on a dry face. I didn't know about this method. Could this be the reason for over-stripping effect the cleansers have on your skin? I have same skin type as you and I apply gel and foaming cleansers on my face after I splash it with water. So far all K beauty cleansers I've used were fine.Provided I follow up with the rest of my routine. Thanks for mentioning propolis toner. I will add it to my wish list!

The Cosrx propolis toner is by far my most repurchased and top holy grail. I'm all about the feel of a product, I love the thickness of it, and with swimming in chlorine so often, I desperately need something that actually replenishes my skin. It feels like my skin is chugging water when I use it. I will always repurchase.

Love your re-review series :D my comment got a bit out of hand O.o (just had a lot of thoughts on cosrx products, peptides and tips for pimple clusters i guess) my experience with cosrx: cosrx snail dual radiance essence and their regular snail essence is meh for me. At this point i can conclude snails just doesn't do anything for me. I just don't get those calmng, soothing, antiinflamatory effects. I know panthenol works well for me and i am fairly certain beta glucan have those calming effects on my skin. Oh yeah for some reason viscous products work soemwhat poorly on my skin in terms of hydration though im not sure why that is. It just feels like they sit on top of my skin rather than absorb whereas watery products just absorb but needs a few layers to add hydration. FYI much prefer thicker textures in terms of application it's so much faster and doesn't run inbetween my fingers and onto the floor. I previously tried the rice overnight mask and was annoyed it never absorbed but sayed dewy/hydrating looking on my skin - yet now that sounds so intriguing like how would that work as a highlighter or something - i jst kinda wanna try playing around with it. Also i think i had oily skin last i tried it. their pimple patches are fine but so pricey considering how inepensive the ones from beautybay are especially on sale. For sure agree on the aha/bha toner i was unsure if their bha blackhead toner would be strong enough since i heard it recommended as milder than the paulas choice so i almost got their aha/bha because i assumed it would be stronger fortunately i saw a review on it and decided it was not really a chemical exfoliant. my thoughts on peptides: i 100% agree on the peptides and by logic just is they are in no way irritating my skin and if they might work why not use them, im gonna use a humectant heavy product anyway. But due t lack of reashaerch is also why i avoid growthfactors they are unlikely to be problematic but i just don't wanna take that riskBut it is excatly the same reason i don't wanna use growthfactors they might not encourage growth of normal and possibly bad cells alike but i just don't wanna use them untill i know for certain they unly encourage growth of healthy cell or it could just be shown that statistically it makes no difference riskwise. Other than that i only avoid fragrance in skincare and homosalate and octocrylene in my face suncreen since it makes my eye sting like crazy (i compared he filters on the sunscreen that stung my eye really badly and they all had one or the other, there are other filters that sting my eyes ut those ar more formula dependent but i highly recommend looking at filters in product you react poorly and well to - i makes picking out sunscreens much easier imo) my tip for clusters: buy hydrocolloid bandages if you get a lot of pimples. You can cut them into smaller pieces but you can also cover a whole cheek if you want. Be aware that some hydrocolloid badages are thicker than others so buy one that says it is thin. Highly recommended if you like using them on the nose since they are much cheaper (use a tiny amount of oil on your nose if your find they stick too well to your nose and just use a bit of oil for dry skin - hydrocolloid bandages oosen when they have gotten enough moisture so either oil or gunck from wounds or pimples so obviously dry skin might not have enough oil for them to become loose overnight hence use a bit of oil). I prefer pimplepatches now because i get pimles less frequently now and they are more spread out when i get them so i no longer really get clusters. Also my naughty tip is if you do end up picking at a pimple (plz don't pick it makes it worse 100% of the time) put i pimplepatch or hydrocolloid bandage over it after since it helps suck out gunck and prevent you from touching it again.

Oh man, that Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence was my LOVE! I hope we can find out for sure if the formulation has indeed been changed because I’ve been thinking about repurchasing it 😭.

Anti-establishment, Lmao. I have some absolute favs for my skin in Cosrx that allow me try out other more intense stuff. I saw #2 at TJMaxx recently but it has an allergen for me. : | I want to try out #1 but I am slightly nervous because I might be allergic to propolis; so I'll save that for later as I just had a BAD reaction to a cleanser. Thanks for your thoughts 💚

I have acne which one will good for me

Hi, I’m a woman that 67 years old that doesn’t look 67. Thanks to Cosrx I’ve been using the 96% musucin for three years now. My manicurist who is Asian is flipping out what is going on with my skin. She says I’ve been looking younger and younger. She can understand it, when she plucking my eyebrows, she said you’re skin is so much tighter. This is crazy. So I bought her a bottle and her and her daughter are using it now and they love it. I don’t think they changed anything on it. I will use this forever and ever. Thank you very much.❤

The snail mucin maybe deadly if you're severely allergic like me. My allergic symptoms doesn't show up on skin but it present itself with symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, runny nose, brain fog etc. It only clicks after I stop using it because I was so sick. Hey no more symptoms lol. 6 weeks of hell. Patch test doesn't work here lmao.

I like the lip sleep for hydration too. I am almost done with mine. I probably wouldn't repurchase. ❌️⭕️

Interesting that you didn’t mention the all-in-one cream. Once I got past the texture by the third or fourth use I love it.

I finally opened my bottle of Mixsoon Bean essence and I don’t think I can go back to Snail Mucin. My skin is so soft and smooth. I want to try the propolis toner next. I have a bottle of the rice sleeping mask to open once I finish the one I am using. Sorry so late in viewing.

I was hoping you would talk about the dual essence too (or at least in the advance snail 96 section) as I am still indecisive if I should get that or go for the 96 essence instead. Also i noticed you didnt talk about the all in one cream

What about cosrx dual essence? ❤

I've personally moved on from the Snail Essence, I tried T'IAM & Jumiso's version which have additional ingredients that I love (azulene & peptides, respectively), and now I'm trying Vegreen's Nature Mucin. I honestly don't miss COSRX's version, I also haven't had it in months so idk if it was reformulated

Do you use the propolis synergy toner and the six peptide skin booster together in the same routine?

What are your thoughts on Cosrx moisture power enriched cream?

I haven't explored much of Cosrx products except for the snail mucin.

I really like the AC Collection Blemish Spot Clearing Serum... At least the version I have not sure if they changed it. CosRx still has some great products. One of my first kbeauty brands.

Is the first propolis something you use before other waterbased serum? Do you know the ph? 🙏🏼😊

Ive have been using their snail moisturizer in the round flat container. Can you talk a bit on that? I have only used this product so far, about 4 months. I like the feeling going one but then 30 min later I feel dry so I end up putting a payer of vanicream. Hmm I am such a moisturizer junky. I have to have it!

what do you think of some by mi? specifically the aha bha pha toner

Hello Alice. Do you know, or have an educated guess, at the niacinamide % in this? I'm hesitating because if it's too much then i can't fit it into my routine 😢

I didn't find the Propolis Synergy Toner hydrating at all! I have extremely dry & dehydrated skin (thanks to medication) and I had to pair another more hydrating toner with the Propolis Synergy Toner in order to use it up. I loved the Propolis overnight mask (the Rice is not occlusive enough) but recently I switched to the iUNIK Propolis Vitamin Sleeping Mask and I think I like it better. It's less sticky but still super occlusive.

What about hydrium toner? I saw it in lots of your videos...😊

The oil free moisturizer felt wonderful but I'd only use it at night. It's too glowy/greasy for daytime. I have very oily skin.

Oh speaking of smaller brands have you heard of Inde Wild? Also, there's the minimalist brand and I don't know if you've reviewed Dieux skincare or not.

How interesting that the 96 dropped in your rankings! I have always thought of this as serotonin for the skin, and so if it ain’t broken this won’t make a significant difference? Going to adapalene and a C derivative might have rendered this unnecessary for you?

Looove your hat😊

could the beta carotene have made it yellow? it is a colourant after all

does anyone know if cosrx recolect propolis without harming bees?

For me the snail musin I have a reaction to. I get these under the skin breakout. That takes forever to go away.

Please review three ships and stratia🙏🏻

I have the same skin type as yours. What is your favorite toner ever?❤

Which do you like better skinfood honey propolis or Cosrx propolis toner ?

I love my snail mucin

Is the propolis still good for the skin that is not acne prone?

I love your hair, hats and jewelry in all your videos. I haven’t found a K beauty product that didn’t irritate my rosacea prone combination skin. I haven’t tried very many that I like mainly because I got tired of spending money on stuff that caused irritation. I’ve come to the conclusion that Korean skincare is not for mature skin.

Since I didn't want to use the AHA/BHa clarifying toner on my face, I decided to just spray it on my body after my shower instead.

The propolis toner claimed the title of Holy Grail the first time I tried it

Unfortunately i cannot use most of cosrx products. Idk why but their products always break me out especially the propolis line and snail mucin essence. Then i found a derm said bee related products and snail mucin are common allergens. No wonder my skin reacts to it because i have allergic prone skin

I stopped into Marshall’s last week and was shocked to see the top shelf was completely full with Cosrx products. I’m talking the whole shelf 😂

Alice- one of the most impressive products is missing. The cosrx power enriched cream

Was hoping you talked about the cica line of cosrx, specificallythe toner. But still fun too watch!

Donginbi is having their anniversary and products are like 40% off on Amazon. Just wanted to let u know.

That is really foamy! Great review. Have a wonderful week ❌️⭕️

I jave the peptide serum, which is more of a peptide water. Why so thin, why not a true serum? Im 3/4 of the way through. Low persentages and feels like water. I'll never spend my money on it again. Im too old to mess with this type of product.

The Snail 96 Essences so so anymore I use it but no big change in my skin anymore I use so many other products that have many soothing ingrediencies. I used to be hardcore Snail Dude and now and I can't believe I'm saying this, But it's okay.

I ❤ the Snail Cream & Essence, 95 Galactomyces Essence ( once I run out of the snail essence, I might just stick with the Galactomyces ) I love the Centella Toner spray ( I use it as a mist but I won't pay more than $12 for it ) I recently tried the Hydrium Watery Toner & I really like it ( I will only purchase when it's a killer deal ) The peptide eye cream is nice not sure if I'll repurchase though, it didn't do anything as far as anti aging goes. The rice mask was nothing special. It's basically a light moisturizer. I've tried their bha blackhead power liquid and the bha/aha toner and I returned both. I didn't care for the propolis products because they left a sticky film on my skin. I've been curious with their Hydrium Hyaluronic Acid ampoule ( not sure it thats the name ) and the cream in that line. I think Cosrx makes some really good products when it comes to hydrating your skin but anti aging, exfoliates and moisturizers, theres better out there.
