Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream vs COSRX Snail 92 Cream

How we compared them

This page compares two things we can check: what each cream costs in Canada, and what each brand prints on its own ingredient list. We haven’t tested either on skin, so there are no claims here about texture, feel or results. The prices come from our October 2026 Price Index. The ingredient lists come from the brands’ own product pages, which we read on October 6, 2026.

Medicube’s page lists the jar as the Collagen Niacinamide Jelly Cream. Retailers still sell it as the Collagen Jelly Cream, which is the name we use.

Rows where neither cream is better are marked as a tie. That includes every ingredient row, because a longer list or more of an ingredient isn’t evidence of a better cream. Fragrance is a tie for the same reason: some people avoid it and some don’t care.

The price story depends on where you shop

On sticker price COSRX wins by a distance. Its lowest price is C$16.09 for 100 ml at Stylevana, which ships from Hong Kong. Medicube’s lowest is C$24.47 for 110 ml.

The picture flips once you leave overseas stores out. KBeauty Mart, which ships from Canada, stocks both. There the Medicube jar is C$24.47 and the COSRX jar is C$23.99, which looks like a C$0.48 win for COSRX. But Medicube’s jar is 10 ml bigger, so per 100 ml it is C$22.25 against C$23.99, about 7% less.

The COSRX cream was in stock at only three of the stores we track: Stylevana (C$16.09), KBeauty Mart (C$23.99) and Kiokii (C$25.99). Medicube was in stock at six, from C$24.47 at KBeauty Mart to C$39.33 at Lakinza.

What’s printed on each label

Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream lists 48 ingredients, the longest list we hold. It opens with water and four glycol-type ingredients. Niacinamide is 9th. Collagen is 13th, hydrolyzed collagen 14th and soluble collagen 17th. Thirteen entries have “extract” in the name. Fragrance (parfum) is last.

COSRX Snail 92 lists 21 ingredients and opens with snail secretion filtrate. Water is printed last. It includes cetearyl alcohol, dimethicone, palmitic acid and stearic acid, and no fragrance.

The two lists share only five entries by name: water, butylene glycol, adenosine, carbomer and xanthan gum. Each has a form of hyaluronic acid, but a different one: sodium hyaluronate in COSRX and hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate in Medicube. An ingredient list shows what’s in a product, not how much, so we haven’t tried to rank the creams by it.

Which to pick

• You want a Canadian warehouse and the lowest price per ml: Medicube, by about 7% at KBeauty Mart.
• You’ll order from Stylevana anyway as part of a bigger basket: COSRX, at C$16.09.
• You avoid fragrance: COSRX, which lists none. Medicube prints it last.
• You’d like a store to choose from: Medicube, at six stores to three.
