I’ve been using this cleanser for almost a year on my combination skin. It’s super gentle. It cleans without that tight, squeaky feeling, and it doesn’t leave behind any film or residue like some gel cleansers do. It reminds me of the classic gentle face washes (like Cetaphil) but with a softer, more nourishing finish. If you wear heavier sunscreen or makeup, you’ll still want to start with an oil cleanser or remover first. This isn’t meant to replace a full double cleanse, it’s just a really nice, non-irritating second step. What I like most is that it fits into my routine no matter what my skin is doing, dry day, oily day, irritated-from-travel day it never makes things worse. It gives that clean-but-not-tight feeling and just keeps everything balanced. If your skin barrier has been feeling off or you’re trying to be more gentle with your products, this is a great everyday cleanser to consider. Read more
I've incorporated the COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser into my daily skincare routine, and it has become an essential part of my regimen. What gives me confidence in this product is knowing it's dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic, which provides peace of mind for sensitive skin concerns. The mild formula strikes an excellent balance - it's highly effective at removing impurities and daily buildup while simultaneously providing hydration, which is rare in most cleansers that tend to strip the skin. I use this as the first step in my routine, followed by the COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence for additional moisture, and the combination works beautifully together. While the slimy gel texture might initially seem off-putting to some users, the remarkable effectiveness of this cleanser completely overshadows any minor texture concerns. It's a gentle yet thorough cleanser that leaves my skin feeling clean, soft, and properly prepared for the rest of my skincare routine. **Pros:** • Dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic for sensitive skin safety • Mild yet highly effective formula removes impurities without over-drying • Provides hydration while cleansing - rare combination in facial cleansers • Perfect foundation for layering with other COSRX snail mucin products • Gentle enough for daily use as part of regular skincare routine • Leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and well-prepared for subsequent products • Excellent balance of cleansing power and skin-friendly mildness **Cons:** • Slimy gel texture may be initially unappealing to some users • Unique texture might require adjustment period for those new to gel cleansers Read more
Love this cleanser! The gel texture is silky and lightweight, yet leaves my skin feeling clean and deeply hydrated — never tight or dry. A little goes a long way, so the size is great value. It’s super soothing, especially on sensitive skin, and the consistency is perfect for daily use. My skin feels soft, calm, and refreshed every time! Read more
I know it’s trendy, but this item is not only affordable, it’s perfection. I combine with other COSRX products in my skincare routine and my complexion has NEVER looked better, I don’t even wear makeup anymore and I’m 55! Perfect for maturing skin! Highly recommend. Read more

Had purchased the travel sized set to try prior. Everything I got was sealed and was unscented. This gel cleanser arrived sealed also, but now has fragrance added. Not sure if the products are authentic due to this difference. Disappointed in quantity control. Read more
I live in a dry desert climate and this entire line has hydrated and evened out my skin texture and tone almost overnight. My pores appear smaller and redness/dryness have dissipated. It feels like my skin barrier has improved. It thoroughly cleans and removes make up if I do a double cleanse. I don’t feel any sticky or heavy residue after using. The product itself looks clear and feels light weight like an aloe vera gel consistency. If you have a shellfish allergy you could be allergic. My sister is but I am not. I’ve been using for two years now. Read more
Love this product and brand. Works well for my daughter - it actually helped clear her acne and control her eczema! We have sensitive skin and this does not cause irritation but rather relieves it. Read more
