Cosrx has a major presence on TikTok and currently boasts 294.6K videos on the app, many of those in circulation are centred on its popularisation of snail mucin, a glow-giving hero ingredient across its skincare range, with which we are totally obsessed. Before you make any judgement, note that this ancient ingredient comes with its fair share of benefits. It is packed with glycosaminoglycans, a water binder that enhanced skin hydration and plumpness, and is also enriched with collagen, hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, and vitamins A, C, and E. When used on the skin, its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties help to treat inflammation, hydrate and improve skin elasticity.
Don't just take our word for it; the experts are on board, too. Dr Aamna Adel, Grazia beauty panellistand dermatologist, is known to love Cosrx's line up and has even taken to TikTok to share how exactly all its very best products should be layered. She includes the COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Gel Cleanser, which is currently on sale for £14.44 (from £16.99). If snail mucin isn't your bag, fret not because Cosrx has an extensive line up that heroes other brilliant ingredients, too. Here are the very best to shop in the Amazon Prime Day Sale.

Aimee Jakes, trending content editor, says: 'Hailed for its ultra-hydrating, skin-plumping prowess, the COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin has become a must-have in my skincare arsenal. A staple in K-beauty routines, snail mucin (yes, extracted from actual snails) is renowned for its ability to heal, hydrate, and smooth. What started as a spontaneous purchase has turned into an obsession—I’m now halfway through my fifth bottle, and I’ve converted all my friends and family along the way.The benefits? Practically endless. Packed with collagen and elastin, it delivers an instant plumping effect. Glycolic acid gently resurfaces, leaving skin baby-soft, while Allantoin works wonders to calm irritation, redness, and breakouts. No surprise then that COSRX’s Snail Mucin has racked up a jaw-dropping 97 million views on TikTok (and counting!).' Click here to readher full review.
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'While many of the snail mucin products we see are formulated into creams and serums, it's worth noting the ingredient can be just as effective when infused into the first skincare product you use in your routine. Encased within this cleanser, it helps to create an ultra-gentle experience by effectively removing dirt, make-up and impurities without stripping the skin. In fact, it does the inverse and pumps the skin barrier with moisture, so no tight feeling here. What's more, the stretchy, elastic texture of snail mucin actually helps to really gets into all the nooks and crannies for a deep cleanse.'
Dr Aamna Adel, Grazia Beauty Panelist and dermatologist, says: 'I love this one by COSRX because it has six different peptides, it doubles as both a toner and a serum, and it creates the perfect base for the rest of my routine. Let me tell you that adding a peptide is going to take you skincare routine from an eight to a ten. They're multifunctional, they hydrate, improve skin texture, and can we take a moment to look at the size of this bottle? Now, peptides are pricey but this one gives you bang for your buck.'
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'We all know the benefits of vitamin C. As a holy grail skincare ingredient, it is well loved for its protective antioxidant qualities that help to defend skin daily against external agressors. But it is also brilliant at brightening hyperpigmentation or discolouration, leading to an even skin tone, as well as improving the look of texture. With 23% pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) you are guaranteed to glow with this serum. It applies smoothly and evenly to bolster radiance, but the best part is that is comes equipped with vitamin E and hyaluronic acid which helps to perk up your complexion just that much more.'
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'Jam packed with a whopping 92% snail mucin (snail secretion filtrate) this daily nourisher goes on lending skin a healthy glow. Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, this all-rounder works hard to sooth irritation, combat redness, and strengthen the skin barrier while making it look and feel more plump and bouncy. If you have acne-prone skin like me, rest assured this works great on reactive and sensitive skin types.'
