COSRX Snail Mucin may be the best item on sale this October Prime Day

· New York Post

If there’s an Amazon product we dream about in our sleep when we’re not looking at the best in shopping all day long, it’s the COSRX Snail Mucin.

Now that it’s Amazon Prime Big Deal Days (aka, October Prime Day) this Oct. 8 to 9, thousands of our favorite beauty products are on sale. But, to really make the most of the two-day shopping event, you really have to grab one of the best Korean skincare products we swear by.

The COSRX 96% Snail Mucin Power Repairing Essence is a case study of how an effective, budget-friendly item can truly take off, virtually overnight. It also helps give off that glass skin look that refreshes and hydrates any skin type beautifully. You’ll want to sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime if you haven’t already to unlock these savings.

The COSRX 96% Snail Mucin Power Repairing Essence has generated more than 100,000 purchases in the past month, a true testament to its ability to rejuvenate and focus on anti-aging. It’s a simple and lightweight formula we love using after our best cleanser.

How I use it: Following my COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser, I apply one to two pumps and blend it throughout my face, as you would a moisturizer. I focus extra on the apples of my cheeks and the tip of my nose — the areas where pores tend to be more noticeable on my skin. I use the product twice daily.

“Glass skin is something you can achieve by having clear skin with a clear complexion, that also appears plump and hydrated,” David Kim, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in NYC, told the New York Post. “It’s about finding the right products for your skin type, and treating any skin conditions with prescription creams.” Of course, certain skin types will require frequent visits to a dermatologist in addition to using OTC skincare formulas such as COSRX.

As someone who’s been using COSRX for upwards of four years now, it’s a staple in my skincare routine. In fact, it’s one of the only skincare products that has to come with me on overnight trips. It’s the ideal serum to dab on after your cleanser and the most direct-hitting glass skin product I’ve tried from the brand at large.

Now that the COSRX 96% Snail Mucin Power Repairing Essence is just shy of $15 during Prime Big Deal Days, it’s the opportune time to pick it up.

But, you don’t want to stop there. I also stand behind the brand’s moisturizer and face masks, of which are also on sale for a limited time.
