AS anyone who suffers from problem skin will know, we’re constantly being told NOT to use oil-based products to avoid making our spotty complexions worse.
However, one acne sufferer is singing the praises of a hydRating £18 SNAIL serum which cleared up her spots and rosacea in a matter of days.
Gushing about CORSRX’s Advanced Snail Serum online, Reddit user acathasoname revealed that the “life-changing” £18 product gave her the clearest skin she’d had in two years.
Having struggled to find products to treat her cystic acne, the woman turned to the Skincare Addiction forum for advice just nine days ago and was recommended the serum by a fellow user.
Giving the forum an update on how it’s transformed her skin, the user revealed that she uses the serum daily and “follows with a layer of The Ordinary’s Azelaic Acid” to combat redness.
Chuffed with the super quick results, the user wrote: “My skin isn’t perfect by any means, nor do I think this is the perfect solution for everyone, but it was for me. I haven’t seen my face so clear in years, it’s surreal.”

While snail slime may be the last thing you’d ever want to put on your face (except for perhaps a foreskin facial), snail secretion filtrate helps stimulate collagen production in the skin and repair damaged tissue.
According to the product description, COSRX’s concentrated snail serum is a “lightweight, quick-absorbing formula” which has been proven to “improve skin tone and texture”.
And judging by some of the gushing reviews the product has racked up online, we can see why this Reddit user described it as “life-changing”.
What is rosacea?
Rosacea is a common skin condition, usually occurring on the face, and is more common in women than in men.
It is a chronic condition that can persist for long periods of time, causing redness on the cheeks, forehead, chin and nose.
The condition can be caused by your genetics or triggered by your immune system and ilness.
Alcohol, exercise, high and low temperatures, hot drinks, spicy foods and stress are all known to trigger the condition.
Rosacea cannot be cured, but long-term treatments can help manage the condition.

Giving the serum a five-star review, one problem skin sufferer wrote: “I am on my second bottle, really hydrates your skin and the acne scars are almost gone. Worth the money!”
Meanwhile, other skincare fans were blown away by how great the user’s skin looked.
“Congrats on your glow up,” one wrote. “I saw your post from 9 days ago and wow it’s absolutely a miracle.”
Another added: “You are glowing!! Definitely going to try this.”
