'Plumping' snail serum that's 'great for fine lines' now £10 in Amazon Prime Day sale
The Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Essence sold out in Korea within 48 hours of its launch - and now it's on sale for just £10.40 down from £23 on Amazon
The cult Korean beauty buy that caused a buzz on social media has now been reduced to its lowest price ever in Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale. The Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a hydrating must-have containing snail slime, renowned for revitalising tired and dull skin while minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Its anti-inflammatory properties also help to reduce redness and enhance the effects of other skincare products. Dubbed as a 'miracle in a bottle', Amazon Prime members can get the essence for £10.40, a significant reduction from its original price of £23.99.
Over 87,000 customers have tried this for a "glass skin effect" and given it an impressive average rating of 4.5 out of 5. One woman hailed it as a "game-changer" after testing it on her sensitive skin: "After just a few weeks of use, my skin feels noticeably softer, plumper, and more radiant. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It's perfect for layering with other products."
Meanwhile, a first-time snail mucin user lauded the essence as "surprisingly effective". They said: "Unsolicited, my dear partner remarked how my skin looks younger and more alive. He added it looks fresh and new, like a paving slab after the rain - what more can a girl ask?"
A third wrote: "This is the best beauty product I have ever used. I've been using this for 3 years now and it helps with retaining moisture in the skin and evens out skin tone." Another said the product is "great for fine lines."
However, some users found it unimpressive, with one remarking, "I've been using this product every day for three months and I'm afraid I can't tell any difference at all. There is no change to my dark spots and my skin feels exactly the same as it did before. I don't normally use anything on my face at all, so I can't compare it to any other product, but I did think I would be at least able to tell I was using something. Maybe my skin just doesn't need anything, who knows? "
The Cosrx Advanced Snail Mucin Essence can be teamed up with the discounted Advanced All in One Cream at £12 (was £27), for superior hydration. In addition to the snail mucin, this lightweight gel cream includes collagen, elastin, glycolic acid and allantoin which collaborate to provide plumpness to your skin.
A serum from Korean brand COSRX has been gaining popularity, fast becoming one of the top-selling skincare products on Amazon. It contains snail secretion which helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and add hydration and glow to the skin.
This cream is also reputed to soothe irritation and repair the skin barrier. Individuals with acne have praised it as a "wonder cream" asserting that it was capable of reducing the redness of acne after just one application.
Beauty of Joseon's Revive Serum is a less potent alternative for those who wish to experiment with snail-related skincare. It contains 3% of snail secretion filtrate and herbal ginseng extract to restore skin elasticity.
You can get 20% off when purchasing it from Beauty Bay for £11.15. Alternatively, Innisfree's Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Serum, £31, has been a fan-favourite for years and it works to plump and rehydrate skin.
