COSRX in two steps: the Good Morning cleanser and Snail 96 essence
Two COSRX labels, two different steps. Learn which product to rinse, where the essence fits and what to check on the label.
Start with the verbs on the label
South Korean skincare brand COSRX was founded in 2013 by Jun Sang Hun. Its Good Morning cleanser and Snail 96 essence illustrate two distinct jobs in a routine. The cleanser is massaged onto damp skin and rinsed away. The essence is applied in a small amount after cleansing and toning, according to COSRX. If you already use a cleanser you like, the essence can be considered on its own. The two products do not have to be bought as a set.
Good Morning is a rinse-off gel
The guide on the Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser page ends with a rinse. That is the simplest way to place it in your routine, before products that stay on the skin. The phrase Good Morning is part of the name. COSRX also gives directions for evening use. Choose the cleanser if the step you want to change is washing your face, and use the exact name when looking up its ingredients.
Snail 96 is an essence you leave on
COSRX lists snail secretion filtrate in Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. The product pictured here is the 100 ml pump bottle. Read the full ingredient list on the packaging if the source of an ingredient matters to you. When browsing a catalogue or a shop, look for Power Essence in the name so you can consult the directions for the exact bottle. The product pages below give you a starting point for checking both labels.
