Today, the all-in-one cream that our beauty columnist Rio Viera-Newton first told us about in 2017 — and that she uses to keep her skin plump, hydrated, and glowy — is over half off at Stylevana and Ban.do when you use the code SOLONG15. The snail mucin in COSRX’s cream is actually derived from snails — specifically, the common garden snail Cryptomphalus aspersa — and the essence addresses dryness, uneven texture, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. For a less common use, Viera-Newton says, “I use this daily under my eyes as an intensely nourishing, smoothing, and replenishing eye cream. It’s thick without being pore-clogging and has helped so much with my fine lines.” Whether you’ve been considering trying the K-beauty formula recently or you’ve been a mucin loyalist for years, don’t dillydally.
