While the COSRX Snail Mucin Power-Repairing Essence — which has been dubbed “simply the best” — has become a favourite among beauty editors, insiders and celebrities.
Now, both have been slashed in price for a limited time only.
While stock lasts, you can pick up the Cream for $20.49 instead of $43, and the Essence for $17.98 instead of $38.
This is a total of 52 per cent and 53 per cent off the price, which isn’t often seen with the COSRX brand.
First, let’s talk about the Cream.
Snails are known for their abilities to recover themselves when injured, and the COSRX Power All in One Cream harnesses this power, and applies it to their product — which helps skin heal and promotes collagen growth.
COSRX promises that the top buy will glide onto the skin, building a moisture barrier for long-lasting hydration.
The moisturiser feels fresh rather than greasy, thanks to its lightweight texture that absorbs instantly into the skin.
“You will see a natural glow from healthy-looking, plump skin full of nourishment,” product information states.
The moisturiser is designed to be used in conjunction with the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, which also comes with close to 40,000 positive reviews.
When it comes to the Essence, COSRX promises the top buy will glide onto the skin, building a moisture barrier for long-lasting hydration.
The Essence feels lightweight rather than greasy, and COSRX says it will “absorb straight into the skin”.
“It leaves your face feeling fresh and with a natural glow. Your skin will feel smooth and comfortable,” product information states.
Reviews for both are glowing, and there are more than 70,000 positive reviews on the website.
The serum has been described as “incredible” and “holy grail”.
“This serum is marvellous. I’ve been using for approximately two weeks now. My skin is so soft and looks really great,” one shopper wrote.
“I’m glad the hype was real,” said another.
“I received this product two days ago and couldn’t get it out of the packaging fast enough — after so much hype I HAD to know if it lived up! And I’m glad to say that it does.
“This doesn’t correct skin blemishes so much as support the other active ingredients in your skin regime that do and it also locks in hydration.”
A third added: “This was my first foray into K beauty. It won’t be my last!! Moisturising and calming for the skin. Love”.
Snail mucin is a trusted ingredient in the ever-popular Korean beauty world, thanks to the fact it can offer noticeable results within days of regular use.
Dermatologists and facialists say that not only can it help with moisturising the skin and soothing irritation, but it can also help to stimulate collagen production, minimise the appearance of wrinkles and help to erase the look of fine lines.
And the good news is the Korean product isn’t harmful to any animals.
The product is made up of 96 per cent snail secretions — which are gathered by letting the animal slither over a mesh net and collecting the mucous from their trails — and claims to work like a “natural hyaluronic acid”.
