Is this the same as the COSRX Snail 96 Essence?

No. The 96 essence is a thin, watery essence, while this is a gel-cream moisturizer with 92% snail mucin. Many routines use the essence first and this cream on top.

Can I use it if I have oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. It is lightweight and formulated to leave no oiliness, and oily-skin users often report it does not clog pores. Patch test first if you are prone to breakouts.

Is it fragrance-free?

Yes. It is listed as fragrance-free, alcohol-free and colorant-free, which is why sensitive-skin users favor it.

Can I use it morning and night?

Yes. It is made for daily use both day and night, and it layers well under sunscreen in the morning.

Does it contain a spatula?

Yes, a spatula is included so you can scoop the cream without dipping fingers into the jar.

Is it suitable for very dry skin?

It is on the light side. Very dry skin usually needs a richer cream or an occlusive layer on top, especially in winter.
