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.'
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.' More Trending
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.'

Ditch the cakey makeup: This SPF-tinted moisturizer is flying off Amazon's shelves and is now 20% off

Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more There's nothing worse than applying a full face of foundation and watching it melt on a super hot day. To prevent exactly this, I stick with a tinted sunscreen on super humid days — as it gives me some color but also keeps my skin hydrated and safe from the harsh sun's rays. EltaMD makes some of the best, and right now the EltaMD UV Daily SPF 40 Tinted Face Sunscreen Moisturizer is down 20 percent, in both shades, bringing the price down to just $33. It packs SPF 40 and depending on your skin tone, you can choose the tinted or deep tinted shades. I tend to buy both as I like using the darker tint as a makeshift bronzer at times. The sunscreen is super lightweight, and unlike traditional sunscreen won't feel heavy on your skin. It blends in super easily and is hydrating too, keeping your facial skin from drying out. It's even great for individuals with sensitive skin since it's hypoallergenic and fragrance free. Plus, it's dermatologist tested and recommended, so you know you're buying a product that's actually good for your skin. All you need to do is apply a few pumps, blend in, and then reapply every two hours to keep your skin protected. Since it's water resistant it should handle the occasional splash from the waves without forcing you to constantly reapply. Amazon shoppers love this product too, giving it a 4.5-star rating, from nearly 23,500 customers. ' EltaMD Tinted SPF 46 has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. It provides excellent sun protection while giving my skin a beautiful, natural-looking tint that evens out my complexion,' says one shopper. Another adds: 'The tint blends in beautifully on my light-to-medium skin tone and gives a healthy, slightly dewy glow without looking greasy. It layers well with makeup or wears beautifully on its own.' 'This tinted sunscreen is a total game-changer! It's like hitting two birds with one stone – sun protection and a bit of coverage,' says a third. No matter what kind of skin you've got, this is the tinted sunscreen you need this Prime Day. Shop it now for a discount before this deal expires — and yes, that's the end of Prime Day on July 11.

Amazon Prime Day deal cuts 52% off viral snail serum hailed as 'temporary Botox'

"I have tried HUNDREDS of serums and moisturisers and I truly found The One with this one" Korean beauty is having a bit of a moment right now. From glass skin to a radiant complexion, the viral skincare trend is said to provide multiple sought-after benefits. One product that currently reigns as one of the biggest sellers is the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. A TikTok favourite with over 85,000 reviews on Amazon, some have likened its results to Botox. Skincare fans who are yet to try it out for themselves will find that it is currently 52 per cent less in the four-day Amazon Prime Day sale that kicked off this morning and will be available until midnight on Friday, July 11. A 100ml of this "effective" serum would usually set shoppers back £23.99, although the four-day sale has knocked it down to just £11.50, making it the lowest price that we have seen it going for, so we'd advise taking advantage of it while it's available. Designed to protect skin from ageing and dryness, this "powerhouse" essence has been infused with 96.3 percent snail secretion Filtrate to deliver multiple skincare benefits such as improved firmness, breakout prevention, smoother texture and anti-redness. The "lightweight" formula doesn't just glide onto the skin, but it also boasts skincare hero hyaluronic acid to deliver deep hydration, with some reviews saying it is the holy grail for that "glass skin" effect. Not only is it a hit with Amazon users, but our own reporter Lucy Farrell previously tried it out, sharing that her skin was left "glowing without looking greasy" after a couple of months of consistent use. With K-beauty all the rage, there are other similar products worth trying out, such as the Beauty of Joseon Revive Serum Ginseng + Snail Mucin (30ml) that is just £15 on Lookfantastic. Another product that uses the same skincare ingredient to deliver multiple benefits is the Dr Organic Healthy Ageing Snail Gel Facial Serum (30ml) that can be bought from Holland and Barrett for £15.37. There's no denying the reputation of the COSRX serum though, as it boasts an incredible 4.5 rating on Amazon from beauty fans who have hailed it as a "holy grail" that has "literally" changed their life. One five-star review read: "I've been using this product and some other snail items for more than 6 months now. My skin feels amazing, I was even asked if I've had Botox so that should tell you something." Beauty deal of the week Looking to upgrade your straighteners, then look no further than this Amazon deal we have spotted. The Remington Advanced Coconut Therapy Hair Straightener, which has been hailed as "better than ghd", is now on offer for a staggering 75 percent less, as it is has been dropped from £139.99 to just £34.90. To help keep hair soft and shiny with each use, the floating ceramic plates feature micro-conditioners that have been infused with coconut oil and UV filters, keeping tresses protected from any frizz caused by too much heat. Its salon-style design means it comes complete with an ultra-fast 15-second heat up time and five digital temperature controls up to 230C, while the rounded barrel design with a swivel cord makes it easy to create either a sleek straight or bouncy curls look. There's also an integrated sensor that kicks in when the plates come into contact with the hair, ensuring they never overheat, while plate lock and auto-shut off function offers peace of mind and safety. Considering Remington's status for hair tools, it's no surprise to hear that this coconut-infused straightener has been singled out as an 'Amazon Choice' product, with a glowing 4.4 rating based on over 1,000 reviews from happy purchasers. One beauty fan praised: "Better than ghds. What can I say I have used GHDs for the last 20 years? My last pair broke yesterday so after some research I thought I would try these Remington's. "I can't believe how straight my hair is gone, not even my GHD's got it this straight. Amazing straighteners on would recommend to anybody, I have thick course hair and look how smooth it looks." A second devoted fan wrote: "The holy grail to glass skin. This is my third purchase of this serum. Even when I use it without my other serums and lotions, it still gives a beautiful glassy look to my skin. "I have tried HUNDREDS of serums and moisturisers and I truly found The One with this one. I'm prone to breakouts and I've not had a single one since using this serum either." The texture hasn't been ideal for everyone, as one three-star review read: "It does hydrate skin but brings my skin out in these small bumps. I will continue to try it but it won't be my go-to. Slimy consistency which some people may not like." However, someone who praised the serum's results gushed: "I bought this product for my mother and she loves it! She says it is like temporary Botox for her and she really how it makes her skin beautiful." Someone else gushed: "This product literally changed my life! My face is so bright, soft (not greasy), fresh looking, younger, glowing & hydrated. It's a great affordable price & goes a long way. My face looks great. I've gotten lots of compliments. I'm so glad I bought this & plan on keeping it stocked up. Going to buy for my family & friends for Christmas. Thank you COSRX!" The viral COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence (100ml) is available at its cheapest price in Amazon Prime Day now.
