Amazon shoppers 'obsessed' with snail mucin serum that makes 'skin glow all day'

Amazon shoppers are 'obsessed' with a £12 serum that contains snail secretion.

The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence allegedly provides "incredible" results as shoppers vow to buy more.

The product is said to be made with 96 percent snail secretion, which "improves the vitality of the skin by reducing dullness and soothing dehydrated skin with snail mucin". It is especially recommended for those with damaged or dehydrated skin.

The texture of the serum is described as being lightweight and sets into the skin "immediately" after applying. The snail serum promises to leave your skin hydrated and with a healthy glow.

The product's main ingredient of snail mucin is understood to be obtained in a safe and environmentally friendly way, and in a preferred habitat of snails. The mucin is then processed as cosmetic matter that is "hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested".

The serum has been given a rating of 4.5 out of five stars and has more than 58,000 reviews. In the review section, NZ said: "I have received so many compliments on my skin, especially after using this product. My skin is soft, plump and glassy. I have a glow that last throughout the day, because I seal this off this a good moisturiser. Definitely worth the hype and I will be back to buy this again."

Tyler added: "It has quickly become the go-to in my skincare routine, and it's hands down the best essence I've ever used. The difference in my skin is remarkable - it looks and feels so much better. The value for money with this product is outstanding. A little goes a long way, and the results are well worth the investment."

Sharice wrote: "Used for the last month while out in cold conditions and my skin has stayed so hydrated and smooth. Visible difference to plumpness absolutely obsessed."

Some shoppers admitted that they found issues with the product and said that it harmed their skin. Atenea explained: "I really wanted to love this product because it seemed to be doing wonders for everyone's skin but I used it for 3 or 4 times and it COMPLETELY broke me out. No differences after using this so far. Total waste of money."

Elba Figueroa added: "Honestly I feel like my skin is more greasy than ever, I can see the little dots of grease in my pores after a while, I don’t know if it’s the product but would recommend buying from the official website first".
