COSRX’s Advanced Snail 92 All-in-One cream is discounted by over 50%, and shoppers have been raving about it, with one saying their skin went from ‘meh’ to ‘marvellous’
The beauty industry is abuzz with a unique component that promises to refresh your skin like never before—snail mucin, also known simply as snail slime. This slimy substance is making waves in skincare routines due to its rich, nourishing properties and is featured prominently in COSRX’s Advanced Snail 92 All in One cream.
Currently, on Amazon, this luxury cream has been knocked down a notch to £10.49, a nice 52% saving. Why is it earning rave reviews? Its impressive content of 92% snail mucin offers a hefty dose of plumpness and hydration while simultaneously healing irritated skin.
Unlike other products, it absorbs without any tackiness, thanks in part to the inclusion of trusty hyaluronic acid for improved skin elasticity, alongside betaine to fortify the skin’s natural moisture barrier. The brand touts that “instantly soothes damaged skin and delivers moisture deep into your skin” and lists the critical elements found in snail mucin: collagen, elastin, glycolic acid, and allantoin.
And worry not, animal lovers—the collection of snail mucin is done ethically and safely, ensuring no harm comes to our gastropod friends during production, reports Wales Online.

But what’s the real scoop from those who’ve actually tried it?
The product boasts a 4.4 out of 5-star rating on Amazon, based on nearly 44,000 reviews. One chuffed customer left a five-star review, proclaiming the cream a “game changer” and gushed: “I honestly didn’t expect much when I bought this cream. I mean, ‘snail mucin’? It sounded weird, but my friend swore by it, so I decided to give it a go. And wow, I’m so glad I did! As a uni student, I don’t have the time or money to spend on complicated skincare, so I wanted something that would just work. This COSRX Snail Cream is a total game-changer! ” Another user was over the moon after a few weeks of use, saying: “I’m blown away by the results! My skin feels incredibly hydrated and smooth, and it has helped improve the texture and tone of my skin”.
A different reviewer hailed it as a texture triumph, sharing: “From the first application, I could feel the magic happening. My skin texture improved dramatically, going from ‘meh’ to ‘marvellous’ in just a few days. It’s like my face got a VIP pass to the smooth skin club”. However, not everyone was completely sold, with a three-star review pointing out that their skin “still felt a little tight and applying more didn’t help much”.
Plus, another noted that the product “doesn’t smell of anything. The lid inside is inconvenient”, which might be a letdown for those expecting a fragrant experience.
