Our read, in one look
Hyaluronic acid is the reason to consider this moisturizer, with Pro-vitamin B5 behind it.
The case for it
- Hyaluronic acid, strong evidence for hydration

- No fragrance, alcohol or parabens
Mind this
- Morning or evening, whichever suits your routine
- Add it on its own for a week or two, so you know what your skin is answering to
Maya's readCOSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream is a moisturizer built around Hyaluronic acid, Pro-vitamin B5 and Snail Secretion Filtrate. It leans strongest on hydration, barrier repair, anti-aging. Best suited to dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin. Nothing in it we'd flag for most people.
Skip it if you already own something similar: it's a solid, honest basic rather than a must-have upgrade.

7 of the 22 sit above the 1% line. The other 15, hatched, are each under 1%. Widths show the ORDER on the label and nothing else: the label never discloses amounts, so we never draw them.

What it delivers
How it feels A smooth, silky lotion that spreads easily and leaves a soft, near-blurred finish. (estimated from the formula)
What's in it that matters
Humectant and soothing ingredient that helps calm irritation and supports barrier repair and recovery.
Water-binding molecule that increases hydration; works best under occlusive/emollient layers to reduce evaporation.
Snail filtrate improves hydration and barrier recovery in trials. What reaches the bottle varies: different snail species and different extraction methods give different filtrates.
Naturally derived osmolyte that helps cells regulate water balance and provides gentle hydration, often used for sensitive skin.
Light emollient ester that improves slip and reduces transepidermal water loss; may be problematic for some fungal-acne-prone users.
Soothing ingredient that helps calm irritation and support surface healing in compromised skin.
How to use it
Morning and/or night, after your thinner water-based steps and before heavier creams.
Where it acts
The same cross-section as our 500 dalton page, with this formula's actives on the layer each one works on. Depth is the anatomy's, never an ingredient's.

- Betainederived from what it is
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceridederived from what it is
- Hyaluronic acidderived from what it is
- Pro-vitamin B5derived from what it is
4 of this product's actives have a layer we can defend. 2 did not, so they are not on the diagram: no source and no honest derivation means no dot.
Against the average moisturizer
It scores lower than the median moisturizer on oil control and hydration.
On barrier repair, brightening and anti-aging it is level with the median, so that is not what sets it apart.
A median, not an average: one unusual formula should not move the middle. The numbers are the same 0 to 10 reads the comparison pages use.
The full ingredients list, decoded
Every ingredient on the label, in the order it appears (highest amount first). We link the 16 our library knows, name what each one does, and flag anything that can irritate or clog. The rest we leave plain, nothing is hidden.

Worth knowing: Allantoin sits below that line. It is in there, and the label does not tell you how much. That is not the same as saying it is too little to matter.
