Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy

It's not just a myth either - the abilities of this essence has been validated by thousands of COSRX fans all over the world. Just check out some of the reviews!
One of the best things about snail mucin as an ingredient is that despite its amazing properties, it's still very gentle on the skin. This makes it ideal for daily use and for combining with other active ingredients such as vitamin C or retinol.

Snail mucin can be good for acne. It naturally contains glycolic acid, which can help to gently unclog pores and fade acne scars. We'd recommended after a breakout rather than as a breakout treatment for this reason. If you have acne as well as dry and sensitive skin, snail mucin can be a gentler treatment option. However, because it can also function as an occlusive, we wouldn't recommend it for oilier skin, bacterial acne or moderate to severe breakouts.
If you're loving COSRX's Snail Mucin Essence but want to combine it with the super powers of niacinamide, then reach for the COSRX Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence instead! It contains 5% niacinamide as well as gluthathione, upgrading its brightening prowess.
