While snail mucin skincare might sound a little daunting at first, thousands of shoppers swear by the super ingredient for its anti-ageing and hydrating properties. One product that skincare fanatics have been racing to buy while on sale is the COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream.
The "game-changing" buy has been said to give users an "instant glow" after applying and is "great for all skin types." While it would typically cost £27, it has been knocked down by 49% to £13.85 on Amazon, saving shoppers over £13 on the viral Korean beauty buy. That's currently cheaper than Boots and LookFantastic.
COSRX's moisturiser is formulated with 92% snail mucin, the substance snails naturally produce for hydration and protective purposes, as well as hyaluronic acid, which work in union to improve skin elasticity, repair and moisturise.
No snails are harmed during the process of collection snail filtrate and the cream can be used both morning and evening at the very end of your skincare routine. Many people use it alongside the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence that has been knocked down to £13.28 from £21.99 on Amazon and has been described as "better than Botox."

Racking up an impressive rating of 4.4 out of five stars on Amazon, the moisturiser has a massive 35,000 reviews, with over half of them giving top marks.
One person said: "This moisturiser is all it promises and more. Great for all skin types, absorbs into the skin like a dream and doesn't leave any nasty residue. Gives an instant brightening and plumping effect that hopefully indicates longer term positive effect. Will definitely buy again once I've ran out."
The 100g pot should last a while as users say "a little goes a long way" and one customer even explained that "the whole tub could last you 12 months." If you buy it at its current discounted price, that makes it around £1 to use per month.
Another happy reviewer wrote: "I was very surprised at how smooth it made my lines on my face after 10 mins of applying I could see results almost immediately. It's very good as a moisturiser, I think the best I've used, it made my face feel amazing. I'm so excited by this product that I can't stop telling everyone about it and getting my friends and family to try it. This is the first review I've ever left on a product but I was so impressed I had to."
While another commented: "This has definitely changed my facial routine game. I have seen a big quick result on my first day of trying it. I have heard of this product as it became a trend worldwide so I had to try it to find what's the hype about - well now I know it made a big difference to my skin. It left my skin smooth like baby's skin, reduced fine lines, reduced my pores, gave my face a glow and brightened."
As expected, some users say the "texture is slimy" and has a "strange sticky consistency", however it does "soak in quickly" and "doesn't feel heavy". For an anti-ageing product that has a creamy formula, consider the Rodial Bee Venom and Placenta 24 Carat Gold Ultimate Crème - it typically costs £750 but has been reduced by over 88% to £95.
No7 have also launched a new product part of the Future Renew range - the No7 Future Renew UV Defence Shield SPF50 is £23.70 at Boots and has been praised for feeling "lightweight" giving "no white cast or sticky feeling."
