This moisturising snail essence currently comes with a decent 45 per cent discount, so this is an ideal time to try the TikTok-trending skincare buy. In a review of the Korean snail essence shared on IndyBest’s Instagram account, our reviewer said although the serum “looks quite thick and sticky,” it’s actually “quite lightweight on skin.” The essence is designed to be applied to damp skin and can be layered underneath other products.

As the name suggests, the main ingredient is snail mucin, which can help minimise breakouts, soothe irritation, and provide intense moisture to help promote elasticity. Our tester said he was “impressed” after using the product, as the initial results showed “glowy” and “dewy” skin. Whether you’re a skincare aficionado or a keen follower of social media skincare trends, the Black Friday deal is the perfect opportunity to add this snail essence to your line-up, as you can save nearly £10 right now.
