A soft 50 g tube, a plush cream that spreads effortlessly and leaves no sticky veil after a minute. It is the travel version of the best-known snail cream from COSRX: it slips into a wash bag, can be shared without dipping fingers in, and is enough to complete a rushed morning routine.
A snail mucin cream designed for everyday comfort
The number 92 in the name refers to the share of snail secretion filtrate in the formula. This filtrate is mostly water loaded with glycoproteins, sugars and small molecules that hold moisture. It is best not to imagine it as a concentrate of a powerful active: its value is to make skin suppler, softer to the touch and less tight, day after day.
The brand combines it with hyaluronic acid and panthenol, two classic humectants that reinforce this feeling of bouncy skin. The expected result remains cosmetic: a complexion that looks rested, a texture that feels smoother and comfort that lasts until evening on normal to combination skin.
Good to know: snail mucin is of animal origin. This cream is therefore not vegan.
How to use
After cleansing and toner, take a hazelnut-sized amount of cream. Spread it over the face and neck, then pat lightly until absorbed. It is used morning and evening, as the last step. In the morning, finish with sun protection.
If you use a serum, apply it first. There is no need to add a second cream on top: the formula is designed to replace several steps. Very dry skin can take a thin second layer in the evening on the areas that feel tight.
Which skin is it for?
It suits dehydrated, normal or combination skin, and anyone who wants a short routine without giving up comfort. Oily skin appreciates it in a thin layer. It also helps through periods when the skin is stressed by the cold or by an exfoliating active.
It is not for you if you follow a vegan lifestyle. If you have a known allergy to molluscs or dust mites, first test on the inside of the wrist for a few days. More textures await in our intense hydration range.

Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from COSRX's Snail 96 essence?
The Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a fluid applied before the cream. The Snail 92 cream is more enveloping and closes the routine. The two complement each other: essence first, cream afterwards.
Can I use it with retinol or an exfoliating acid?
Yes. Apply the active first, let it sink in, then the cream on top. It does not cancel its effect and brings welcome comfort on evenings when the skin feels tight.
Is it suitable for oily skin?
Yes, as long as you measure the amount: a small quantity is enough and it absorbs quickly. On very oily skin, keep it for the evening or for the driest areas.
How long does a 50 g tube last?
It all depends on the amount and on whether you apply it to the neck. At a hazelnut-sized amount morning and evening, the tube covers several weeks of routine. COSRX also offers the same cream in a jar, which is more practical for family use.
Is this cream vegan?
No. Snail secretion filtrate is an ingredient of animal origin. If you are looking for a cream with no animal-derived ingredients, turn instead to a centella-based formula.
