There's just hours before Amazon's two-day shopping event draws to a close, which means shoppers everywhere are scrambling to nab the best deals they can find.

Up until now, we've seen deals span everything from discounted bags of dishwasher tablets to a reduced 43-piece chocolate hamper ideal for Christmas.

But the latest offer to grab our attention sits in the beauty division and it's a product you might not of heard about.

Why we rate it

COSRX's Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is on sale for just £12.09, down from £29.99 and with over 50,000 reviews (over 39,000 of which are five-stars) it's viral, lightweight serum is definitely worth your attention.

COSRX, a K-Beauty brand, is a firm favourite among beauty and skincare lovers, first gaining popularity through TikTok when countless beauty lovers and experts started preaching the product's praises. The hashtag #snailmucin has over a whopping 775 million video views on the app.

Both the brand's cleansers and serums are considered hot property, with a bottle of COSRX's Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence selling every 15 seconds here in the UK. So far this year it has already sold out 10 times.

The serum is enriched with 96.3% skin boosting snail secretion filtrate that's lightweight and absorbs into skin fast. This essence is created from nutritious, low stimulation snail mucin, which is said to replenish moisture and protect the skin from moisture loss, which can help improve skin’s elasticity. Many shoppers say it does a much better job at hydrating their skin overnight than a number of night creams and serums.

COSRX's cult-favourite serum has 45% off for Amazon Prime Day.

Not only that, it can help repair and soothe red, sensitive skin after breakouts, fade dark spots and improve skin texture.

Like other beauty items in COSRX’s range, the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is vegan, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested.

And luckily for us, it has been reduced for October's Prime Day. Discounted from £21.99 to just £12.09, there's never been a better reason for you to add a bottle to your shopping bag.

What the reviews say

It's one of Amazon's best-sellers in beauty, and has racked up over 50,000 reviews — 74% of which are five-star ratings.

Happy shoppers have described it as "amazing!", "would totally recommend" and the "best product". One even said it helped their skin look more radiant and plump while helping with their dehydration lines.

Some have also shared that they're already onto their second bottle as it improved the appearance of their fine lines and texture "very quickly".
