We all want gorgeous, glowing skin that’s almost glass like – right? We also don’t want to spend an absolute fortune trying to get it.
Well, Amazon shoppers are in for a treat as viral K-beauty skin essence, COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, hailed as ‘better than Botox’, is currently on offer in an early Amazon Prime Day deal.
Loved by beauty expert Emma North for years, the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is currently £16.30 at Amazon, with 52% off the usual price, thanks to the pre-sales event.
‘When my skin is flaky, dull and dry, I reach for this essence every time,’ she says. ‘I have sensitive, redness-prone skin that reacts to harsh ingredients but this serum soothes irritation, giving long-lasting hydration without feeling heavy or thick.’
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
After application of the lightweight texture immediately seeps into your skin, and delivers multiple effects like hydrated-looking skin with a healthy glow.
Formulated with 96% of Snail Secretion Filtrate, this incredibly hydrating moisturiser protects the skin from any dryness and aging, by repairing the skin’s moisture.
The result? The snail serum improves the skin’s vitality by reducing dullness and soothing dehydrated skin with snail mucin.
No snails are actually harmed in the making of this product, don’t worry.
What we love most about the product is how the use of 96% Snail Mucin helps to repair and soothe red, sensitive skin after breakouts – all by replenishing moisture deep into your skin, whilst also improving skin elasticity too.
Over 100,000 people have purchased the product since launching on Amazon’s website, and a whopping 85,795 users have put it to the test – leaving rave reviews.
In fact, 74% of users have rated it five-stars so we’re adding it into our basket asap.
One five-star reviewer, who’s previously had Botox almost shouted from the rooftops about how the COSRX moisturiser worked even better for her skin, and went on to say: ‘My skin feels genuinely plumped up. My makeup isn’t all flaky with my skin peeling off dry dead skin cells come evening. My skin is now really glowing and plumped. It actually looks better than when I’ve had Botox and I love Botox. My pores are more refined and not as clogged as have been and I just have a lovely glow under my makeup.’
Georgie said: ‘The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin is a beloved staple in my skincare routine, offering exceptional hydration and nourishment. Applied before moisturiser, this serum works wonders, providing a boost of moisture and promoting a plump, youthful complexion.’
She went on to say: ‘As a key component of my Korean skincare routine, it helps to improve skin texture, minimise fine lines, and enhance overall radiance. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs effortlessly, making it suitable for all skin types. The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin is a must-have for anyone looking to achieve healthy, glowing skin as part of their Korean skincare regimen.’
FE also backed this, and added: ‘I have extremely sensitive skin and literally react to everything! This is the first and only product I have not reacted to and worked with visible results in 3 days my face is clearer, brighter, smoother! I’m glowing and my skin tone has evened out! Love it.’
Jacob hailed the moisturiser ‘magic’ and went on to say: ‘I’m absolutely thrilled with the COSRX Glass Skin Starter Set, particularly the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence! This skincare set is truly a game-changer. The essence, made with 96% snail secretion filtrate, sounds unusual but works like magic. It’s incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and smooth without any greasiness.’
