I may or may not have an obsession with skincare. Give me all of the cleansers, lotions, potions, serums, moisturizers — you name it, I’m trying it.
So, when COSRX is hosting a big blowout sale on Amazon as part of the retailer’s Big Spring Sale, the Prime Day-inspired event, I need to give you the 411 about it. Or else, you’d really be missing out.
Not only have I reviewed the lion’s share of the brand but I’ve been following all things snail mucin, Korean skincare and TikTok-touting “glass skin” for years now. After putting the brand to the test, I can say with certainty that it’s not as expensive as some Sephora-sold skincare and even more effective than some of the hundreds of products I’ve put to the test.

COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin 96% Power Essence
Amazon For only $13, it’s the add-to-cart maneuver you don’t have to think about. It’s safe on my utmost-sensitive skin, douses my face with much-needed hydration and is my favorite product to use after my cleanser as of late. Think of it as your most moisturizing toner but with near-instant, skin-balancing benefits.
What’s more, the formulation is also an Amazon best-seller, climbing up the retailer’s ranks as one of the best beauty buys you can pick up. Let me repeat: for only $13, you’re picking up an *amazing* product.

COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream
Amazon Another COSRX skincare gem that’s a bit slept on (but shouldn’t be) is the Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream. I’m a true fan of anything with this skincare ingredient as it always makes my skin feel bouncy and more supple. It’s also an impressive 42% off for a limited time and pairs well following the cult-favorite Advanced Snail Mucin 96% Power Essence.
“Hyaluronic acid (H.A.) is a polysaccharide (sugar string) substance found naturally in human skin, eyes, and joints, which acts as a natural lubricant, volume support and moisturizer,” Jessica Krant, MD, MPH, a board-certified dermatologist at NYC’s Laser & Skin Surgery Center told the New York Post. “It’s the material that surrounds and supports collagen in our skin.”

The bottom line
There are quite literally thousands of items deeply discounted during the Amazon Big Spring Sale but, as a beauty lover, I strongly advise you to give COSRX a try if you haven’t already. It’s truly worth the hype and is now the price of two venti Starbucks drinks, not upwards of $100 as some other hyped-up skincare products can be.
Overall, snail mucin is worth it. You’ll understand the obsession once you give it a try.
