If you think using snail mucin is an extreme way to achieve great skin, you need to change your thinking on the well-researched ingredient that's all over Korean skincare. A defense mechanism that snails expel when they move, mucin holds powerful anti-aging benefits, like stimulating collagen production.
One affordable snail-forward formula you can add to your skincare rotation? Cosrx's Advanced Snail All in One Cream: Both Amazon shoppers and Emily Ratajkowski are obsessed with it, and it happens to be on sale. The lightweight snail gel-cream is infused with the snail secretion to help keep your skin's moisture barrier strong and healthy, and thanks to hyaluronic acid, it also soothes irritated skin, breakouts, and rosacea. Together, the ingredients leave the complexion with a plumped-up look.
Plus, Cosrx's snail cream has a lightweight gel texture that feels rich instead of overly slimy. It melts immediately into your skin without leaving behind a greasy and sticky finish. One Amazon shopper wrote that "the texture of this moisturizer is luxurious," while another said, "it's an odd texture at first, but you eventually feel nothing but how silky it is! It leaves your face soft and tightened and hydrated."

Hundreds of reviewers have praised the cream's results, calling it a "staple moisturizer," "the holy grail," and "my new obsession." One reviewer said that it made a "huge improvement in just one week," adding, "[it] helped clear a bad acne flare-up in about six days of adding it to my routine!"

Another user noted that the "hype is real." They continued, "I'm honestly shocked with how great this cream is. I noticed a difference with my skin softness with the first day of use. It doesn't have a scent. It soaks into skin effortlessly with no oily residue. I have oily skin and this moisturizer keeps my skin from being crazy oily while keeping my skin glowy. 10/10 definitely recommend."
A final shopper described how they use snail-infused cream for their best results. "It works like a humectant, so apply to wet skin. I massage on face and neck [and then] apply my moisturizer over (an occlusive)... Make sure to apply around eyes as well."
Head to Amazon to buy the Cosrx snail cream on sale while you can. For just $17, silky and radiant skin could be on its way to you.
