Humankind has recognized the healing, anti-inflammatory power of snail mucin for centuries — with evidence of its earliest known use dating back to ancient Greece. In the present day, the ingredient is enjoying a wave of K-beauty-fueled popularity led by a viral serum from skincare imprint Cosrx.
Perhaps lesser known, but still highly-beloved, SeoulCeuticals is another Korean brand responsible for an incredibly popular moisturizer based around the ingredient — and we just spotted it for20% off at Amazon.
This dreamy option contains a 97.5% concentration of snail mucin — one of the higher ones available on the market, according to the brand — and contains a slew of powerful emollients that promise to boost hydration.
One of them, jojoba oil, was previously described by acupuncturist Paige Yang as an ingredient that mimics the oil that your skin naturally produces. It also contains fatty acid-rich shea butter and aloe, which can stimulate collagen production and help moisture bind to the skin.
Overall, the product promises to brighten and improve the appearance of skin with consistent use, banishing dullness and reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It’s also cruelty-free, as the snail secretions are harvested ethically.
With over 14,000 5-star reviews, customer are overwhelmingly happy with the product, saying that it hydrates “like a dream” and leaves skin “moist but not greasy and a lot firmer.” See what some of the most recent Amazon reviewers had to say about the product below, or just scroll all the way down to add this to your cart while it’s still on sale.

“First let me say a LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY! This bad boy is thick. It is rich. It is hydrating asf. It smells amazing. My face feels like a silky pallet of heaven. The consistency is a beautiful white thick cream – there are no added colors or scents or anything like that – it gives very basic vibes – but gives thousand dollar facial results. My under eye wrinkle reduction was insane. I’m only 28 but my eye bags literally smoothed out so much after applying this and the daily glow serum. I am so impressed with this brand. My face feels sturdy and hydrated and even toned – I will absolutely be buying this again!” — Court
“Just placed my second order, I love everything about this product. The smell is a light citrus smell, it’s super hydrating I’ve been using it for about a month now and I see considerable difference with my wrinkles and overall appearance of my face 10/10 highly recommended and reasonably priced” —home_made_honey
“I was hesitant to try this moisturizer but I wanted to see for myself. I’m glad I did. It’s like my 3rd week of using it but the results in my facial skin is amazing. Many had noticed the glow in my skin. I’ll definitely continue buying and using this product. I’m also interested of trying their vitamin C serum. This is a worth buy.” — Amazon Customer
“I have never been a skincare girly, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Since July 1st 2022, I have lost 99 lb. Obviously, my skin is not as tight as it used to be now. I was unhappy with a crepey looking patch of skin on the front of my neck, and bought this to see if it would help tighten based on some really fabulous looking before and after photos. Now I know it normally takes time to see results with any sort of product like this, and that time and consistency are key, but I swear I felt like I could tell a difference when using this the first few times. It may just be from the added moisture, but I already feel like the look of the crepey area that I was unhappy with is improved. Now I wish that I had taken before photos, because I didn’t really think this was going to work! As testament, I have already purchased a second jar. I also so far have had no reactions to it, be it rashes, breakouts, or otherwise.” — OtakuKitteh
“This is one of my favorite creams! It feels amazing on the skin, very soothing and a nice consistency.” — Hannah Johnson
