FormatGel-cream / under-eye cream

COSRX Snail Mucin Peptide Under Eye Cream is a lightweight, lotion-like eye treatment containing 73.7% snail secretion filtrate combined with 2% niacinamide, 5-peptide complex, and adenosine. Positioned as an alternative to thicker creams, it targets dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines while providing hydration and skin firming. The formula is designed for use around the eye area but can be applied to smile lines, forehead, and neck. Suited for those seeking a hydrating, non-occlusive eye treatment from a trusted K-beauty brand, though the peptide-forward positioning differentiates it from pure snail-essence rivals.
