COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream: expiry date and ingredients
How to read the expiry date printed on COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream, then what it is mostly made of and which ingredients do the work — based on the ingredient list the brand publishes.
Ingredient list from the US version (source checked 2026-10-29).
A gel-cream built on 92% snail secretion filtrate, said to hydrate deeply, calm stressed skin, support the barrier and improve elasticity.
Manufacture date and shelf life
Can I tell when my COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream was made from its batch code?
You do not need to. Korean cosmetics print the expiry date (or the manufacture date plus a period-after-opening) on the pack, for example EXP20270701 or MFD20240701.
How long does COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream last unopened?
COSRX does not publish an unopened shelf life we could verify (checked October 2026). Go by the date printed on the pack; Korean imports always carry one on the Korean label.
How long can I use it after opening?
Look for the open-jar symbol on the pack (for example 12M = 12 months after opening). Our period-after-opening calculator gives the exact date.
