Snail mucin, believe it or not, is a slimy goopy ingredient that’s like adding magic to basic moisturizers. Popular in Korean skin care, it’s known for deeply hydrating properties that help improve the look of wrinkles, scars, under-eye puffiness and dark circles. That’s likely why so many reviewers say this InstaSkincare retinol facial moisturizer, on sale for only $10 on Amazon, works so well. The nighttime retinol is loaded with snail mucin plus aloe vera, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid for smoothing and plumping. Reviewers seem to strongly vouch for its efficacy, with one shopper noticing “even from the first time that my skin was smoother and had a glow.”

Though Amazon has marked it as 37% off market price, our price trackers say this cream usually goes for $17.99, but right now you can nab it at 44% off (its lowest price of the year) for a limited time!

This 1.7-ounce moisturizer is a nighttime formula best used before bed, and, like any retinol, should be paired with an SPF to potentially avoid UV damage to your skin.

Several users say it absorbs pretty quickly, is lightweight and has a non-greasy application, so no worries about feeling an annoying barrier on your face at bedtime. The snail mucin retinol also has its own pump so you don’t have to dunk your fingers into it to dab your face up.

“Never thought about snail mucus on my face,” one reviewer Jessica shared. “But, I’ve been wearing it for 30 days-ish with a collagen/C serum and I have minimized pores and reduced dark under eyes. Oh, and [with] tumeric oil.”

Take a look at what others are saying about this lightweight formula below and nab it at a discount for a limited time. Your future self will thank you.

“This honestly changed the way my face looked after a few uses. I can finally put makeup back on again without my skin being too dry and my makeup immediately cracking. Thank you to whoever made this!!!!” — Elizabeth

“I used this as soon as it arrived. I put it in a clean face. I looked in the mirror some time later ( don’t we all want something to work immediately? )
And.. it did! I have dark circles and bags under both eyes. The puffiness was gone and my noticeable under luggage was minimized.
I will look again when I use again, but I am very pleased, very happy with the scent which is calming.
This is a WIN for me!!” — Whitney
