If you’ve spent even a moment on skin-care TikTok, you’ll have seen CosRX’s Snail Mucin Essence, a deeply hydrating serum that has anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. But before it went viral, it was recommended in Rio’s OG Skin-Care Doc in 2017, where she compared it to the cult-favorite SKII facial-treatment essence. Six years (and ten bottles) later, she’s still recommending it. “I can’t tell you how many catastrophic, post-picking scabs this product has nurtured back to health,” she says. It’s already fairly affordable at $25 a bottle, but it’s currently 60 percent off at Amazon, when you apply the on-site coupon, bringing it down to just under $12. This is the cheapest we’ve seen it this year (cheaper than the impressively low $12 we reported back in February), so it’s a good time to restock or add to cart.
