From Beauty of Joseon to Anua, the world of Korean skincare is booming. With billions of views on TikTok, CORSX is another brand to know — and now is your chance to try the snail-powered formulas, thanks to Amazon Prime Day 2025.

The online giant has kicked off its annual October event — dubbed Prime Big Deal Days — with thousands of deals on everything from Color Wow haircare to the Meta Quest 3s.

If it's skincare, I’d recommend turning to Cosrx. The K-beauty brand has gained popularity in the last few years thanks to the “glass skin” trend. Its bestselling product — the advanced snail 96 mucin power essence — is beloved for soothing and hydrating skin, while blurring fine lines.

When The Independent’s beauty writer Lucy Smith reviewed Cosrx’s full roster, she described the formula as “wonderful, clean skincare that gets to the heart of the problem, be it dullness or clogged pores, for a reasonable, mid-range price.” Now, the products are even cheaper thanks to Prime Day.

“Though it is very slimy – as you’d expect – COSRX’s hero snail 96 mucin essence requires only a small drop to treat the whole face,” our beauty writer Lucy said. “It leaves the skin feeling as though it’s had a generous drink of water, thanks to humectant (water-attracting) hyaluronic acid, and feels ever so slightly creamy despite its transparent liquid appearance.” The mucin is said to repair skin, helping to boost luminosity and reduce the appearance of fine lines — Lucy saw pump results and a healthy glow after continued use. Now, you can save 48 percent in Amazon’s sale.

Reduced by 36 percent, now’s the time to try COSRX’s peptide skin booster serum. “It’s cooling to apply and disappears almost immediately, leaving the skin feeling as though it’s just had an ice massage,” beauty expert Lucy said. Powered by peptides — which are often described as a more gentle alternative to retinol — Lucy noticed that the two lines forming between her eyebrows looked less pronounced. “It’s a lovely, refreshing way to start each day,” she concluded.
