COSRX Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream — Soin Réparateur Contour Yeux

This cream concentrates five complementary active ingredients in a light texture.

5-Peptide Complex (Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7): molecular architecture inspired by Matrixyl 3000, reduces collagen degradation and improves elasticity. Copper Tripeptide-1 stimulates cell regeneration, while Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 smooths micro-contractions responsible for crow's feet.

Snail Secretion Filtrate (Snail Mucin, 72%): complex blend of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycoprotein enzymes, hyaluronic acid, copper peptides, and trace elements. Repairs weakened tissue around the eyes without heaviness.

Niacinamide (2%) : brightens the appearance of pigmented dark circles by inhibiting melanin transfer to keratinocytes. Strengthens the delicate skin barrier in this area.

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid): low molecular weight that penetrates the surface layers to instantly plump. Forms a non-occlusive moisturizing film.

Adenosine : anti-aging ingredient recognized by the Korean KFDA. Smooths established fine lines and prevents their deepening by stimulating type I collagen synthesis.

☀️ Morning routine

1. After your essence or serum, take half a pump
2. Spread from the inner corner to the temple, avoiding the mobile eyelid
3. Gently tap with your ring finger to promote microcirculation
4. Wait 30 seconds before applying makeup — the texture melts without a greasy residue

🌙 Evening routine

1. On cleansed and toned skin, apply after your anti-aging serums
2. Massage in circles: clockwise on the left eye, counterclockwise on the right
3. Finish with light pinches on the brow bone to drain puffiness
4. Leave on overnight — the mucin works deeply during the skin repair phase

💡 Eye contour tip : The airless pump maintains peptide stability and ensures perfect hygiene. A pearl-sized dose is enough for both eyes.

Target profiles:

• First fine lines (from 25 years old) : Light formula suitable for all ages, from adolescence to 70 years, without over-nourishment
• Pigmented or vascular dark circles : niacinamide brightens, peptides drain
• Dehydrated contour : Visible texture improvement in a few days, even on skin sensitized by chlorine or fatigue
• Contact lens or eyelash extension wearers : Non-greasy texture that does not migrate or destabilize adhesives
• Combination to oily skin : alternative to overly rich balms that cause milia

To avoid if : known allergy to mollusk proteins (rare but documented). If in doubt, test for 48 hours in the elbow crease.

Observable results according to the clinical timeline:

From 2-3 days : instant hydration felt, lasting comfort throughout the day. The skin regains its suppleness.

After 2 weeks : visible reduction of reddish dark circles and improvement in pigmentation. The eyes look less tired, even after a bad night.

After 4 weeks : marked improvement in the under-eye area, smoothing of dehydration fine lines. Peptides begin to restructure the dermis.

Continuous use (2-3 months) : prevention of deepening expression lines, maintenance of elasticity. Extremely light texture but lasting results, with no rebound effect upon stopping.

What is the difference with the COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream used around the eyes?

This cream contains 72% mucin (compared to 92% in the All In One), but is specifically enriched with 5 peptides targeting fine lines and firmness, niacinamide for dark circles, and anti-aging adenosine. The airless pump format is also superior to the classic jar for dosing and hygiene..

How long does the 25ml bottle last?

With two daily applications, the product lasts about a year thanks to its concentrated texture. Half a pump is enough for both eyes. It’s an economical format despite its small size.

The pump no longer dispenses product, is it defective?

The container uses a vacuum airless pump system, without a dip tube. On first use, pump 10-15 times to prime the mechanism. If the bottle seems empty but still feels heavy, turn it upside down for 30 seconds before pumping.

Can I use it on the mobile eyelid or only around the eyes?

Avoid the eyelid and direct contact with the eyes. Apply only on the orbital bone (under the eye, temple, brow bone) — the skin is thicker there and better tolerates concentrated actives. If it accidentally gets into the eye, rinse with water.

Is this cream suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, essential oil-free formula, tested non-irritating. Light texture suitable for sensitive skin of all types. Allantoin and panthenol soothe any redness.

Are snails mistreated to extract the mucin?

COSRX places the snails in a dark, calm environment for 30 minutes to stimulate natural secretion, then returns them to their habitat. The mucin is then collected and purified. No animals are harmed. Brand certified cruelty-free.
