Shoppers snap up 'magic' skin product with unlikely ingredient
"Such a game changer. Hydrates my skin without clogging it. This is now the second bottle I've bought - it lasts ages - I use it twice a day as well." Amazon Prime members are snapping up impressive deals with the launch of this year's Amazon Prime Day sale, and skincare lovers are no exception. COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence would usually cost £23.99 for a 100ml bottle, but has had more than 50% knocked off it in a Prime Day Deal, bringing it down to £11.50. It uses real snail essence, which has been obtained in a safe and environmentally friendly way. This essence is said to repair and rejuvenate the skin from dryness and ageing. It is lightweight and boasts quick absorption. While it is 100% natural, hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested some skincare buffs are squeamish at the thought of a snail based product. For those we would recommend the Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 2% Hydration Hydration Concentrate from Nip+Fab that has been reduced to £20.26 on Sephora or Curél's Anti-Wrinkle Hydrating Serum which is a third off at Boots now bringing it to £16.66. The advanced snail essence has pulled in an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 from across 85,802 global ratings. One shopper said: "This essence is amazing – it really does work like magic. My skin feels deeply hydrated, plumper, and visibly brighter after just a few uses. "The texture is silky and absorbs quickly without any stickiness. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts ages. It's now a staple in my routine – perfect for skin repair and that healthy glow. Korean skincare at its best." An acne-prone shopper wrote, "I love this snail mucin. I have very dry, acne-prone skin, and this snail mucin has been such a game changer. It hydrates my skin without clogging it. This is now the second bottle I've bought—it lasts ages. I use it twice a day as well." Some shoppers have been underwhelmed, insisting that the serum hasn't done much for them. One wrote: "Been using this for a while now, leaves skin feeling hydrated but I can't say I've particularly noticed any change in my skin's appearance." Another said it was 'magic,' writing: " Magic for the skin. I can't recommend this product enough! My skin glows from using this - it's not greasy. Makeup stays put after using it. I use the snail cream after this as well, and it's the best skincare purchase I think I've ever made. I would say suitable for all skin types. I've had friends use this after my recommendation, and their problem skin has cleared right up."

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.
