Amazon shoppers snap up 'magic' skin essence that's half price for Prime Day

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."

The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is available now for £11.50.
