The CosRx anti-aging snail slime serum is just $16 at Amazon — escar-go get some!
There are two things that go well with snails: butter and, apparently, your skin. Yup! Snail mucin has been the "it" product in the beauty world for the past few years, and the craze was started by none other than the top-selling CosRx Snail Mucin Repairing Essence. Thousands of Amazon shoppers and even our own beauty editor are big fans of the serum that's made with 96.3% snail secretion filtrate. It might sound gross, but the results — less dullness and dryness — certainly aren't. Curious? Luckily, it's down to just $16 at the Amazon Spring Sale. (Psst: That's the lowest price it's been all year).
Normally $25, this cult favorite can be yours for over 35% off right now. The price has fluctuated over time, but today, it's the lowest price we've seen in 2025.
CosRx's lightweight formula absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a film or feel heavy on the skin. It's hypoallergenic and free of any artificial fragrances too. It's easy to incorporate into your routine: Just pat it on using your fingertips after you've cleansed and toned your face. Gawking at the slimy texture is totally optional (but recommended if you want to gross out your family).
You may be wondering about the little helpers who make this wonder. No, snails aren't being plucked out of backyards nationwide. Nor are they harmed in the manufacturing process. The slime is gathered by placing snails over a mesh net and leaving them to roam freely for 30 minutes. Then, the snails are transferred back to their homes. (We all love a happy ending!)
This CosRx essence is not just for people who spend hours on TikTok, although millions of them have viewed the above video. Women over 40 rave about the serum's effects at Amazon too — and nearly 63,000 shoppers have given it a five-star rating.
One user wrote: "My 'old' skin feels new again. My husband said it felt 'tight.' ... I'll take that, as a woman in my 40s! I'm not sure why this stuff isn't all over the place, because it's game-changing."
Another chimed in: "The product is amazing. I am 54 years old but look like I'm 40!"
"I'm 68 years old and love how great my face looks and feels since I have been using it," shared one former skeptic. "Keeps my face moisturized and gives me a dewy, tighter, younger-looking face."
"Magic for sensitive, dry skin!" exclaimed a fan. "I started using it about one month ago. My skin is so much softer, moisturized and healthy! I've had multiple people compliment my skin lately. ... Before using this, my skin was dull, dry and very acne-prone, despite using many other products. I highly recommend it! The only downside is it feels slimy at first, but it absorbs quickly."
The above reviewer wasn't the only one who didn't love the "slimy" initial texture: "It's a bit of a weird texture (slightly slimy), but makes skin soft," assured one.
Another writer added, "The only potentially bad thing about this product is that its texture is so slimy that you have to be careful when applying it so it doesn't drip."
Even fans agree that it's hard to get past the initial 'ick factor' of this serum being, well, snail slime: "It was a little mentally weird to get over the fact it really looks and feels exactly like what you'd think snail slime is like," joked a user. "But it dries within five minutes and then you can't tell at all it's even on, working its magic."

‘She always said, 'I'm going to be famous, dad'': Teen dies after viral TikTok ‘dusting' challenge
The parents of a 19-year-old who dreamed of fame and died after trying the TikTok 'dusting' trend are warning others about its deadly risks. Renna O'Rourke and her boyfriend DoorDashed aerosol keyboard cleaner to her parents' Tempe, Arizona, home without her mother's knowledge, Dana O'Rourke told 12 News. The dusting trend, also known as chroming or huffing, involves inhaling common household cleaners to get high for views online. The sensation causes brief euphoria but can cause instant, fatal damage, often due to heart failure, according to the Cleveland Clinic. After inhaling the keyboard cleaner, Renna went into cardiac arrest, spent a week unconscious in the intensive care unit, and then was declared brain-dead. Renna's parents described their late daughter as 'vivacious and caring and loyal.' Her father, Aaron O'Rourke, told 12 News that Renna loved to sing and lit up every room with her smile and laughter. 'She always said, 'I'm going to be famous, dad. Just you watch. I'm going to be famous,' and unfortunately, this is not under the most optimal of circumstances,' Aaron O'Rourke, told the outlet.. Despite the less-than-ideal circumstances, the O'Rourke family is now working to honor Renna by spreading the word about the dangers of huffing for teens and parents. 'There's no ID required. It's odorless. It's everything kids look for. They can afford it, they can get it, and it doesn't show in mom and dad's drug test,' Dana O'Rourke told AZ Family about access to the trendy chemicals. She added, 'Don't take your kid's word for it. Dig deep. Search their rooms. Don't trust — and that sounds horrible, but it could save their life.' A GoFundMe started to help the O'Rourke family with hospital bills, burial and therapy costs, and to spread awareness about huffing has surpassed its $5,000 goal and sits at over $9,000 at the time of publication.

People Are Sharing The Cooking "Myths" We've All Believed For Wayyyy Too Long, And My Mind Is Blown
Kitchen 'facts' have a way of sticking around — one viral TikTok or a chatty aunt at Thanksgiving, and suddenly everyone's sure that olive oil can't handle heat or that washing mushrooms turns them to mush. So when redditor Henroriro_XIV asked r/Cooking, 'What misinformation about cooking, that a lot of people seem to believe, bothers you the most?' the cooks didn't hold back. I sifted through the flood of replies and pulled the myths that kept popping up, along with the clear, no-nonsense fixes redditors offered to set things straight. 1."People think raw chicken must be washed. NO! It is quite risky. It can spread bacteria all over your countertop and stove, making contamination much more likely. Ew." —stevenbellomy "Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that this only exacerbates the risk of infections like Salmonella due to the splashing of the organisms onto and around your kitchen area. Wipe it down with a paper towel for physical yuckies and/or a lemon, IF YOU MUST (sometimes this helps with tenderizing and flavor if done in advance, then again, you could also just do a brine). Cooking will kill all the germs you're concerned about. Stop washing your meat." —Chaosfall27 2."Marinating chicken — it's a waste of time. It's the science of chicken muscle. It doesn't absorb anything. It coats but doesn't penetrate in any meaningful way. The only way to get flavour penetration into chicken or other poultry is by brining, particularly by injecting a brine. Acid marinades can alter the texture of the surface of a chicken, but again, don't penetrate. It can make the surface mushy or stringy. But it does not tenderize the meat. Marinating chicken is, at best, providing a coating and then exposing uncooked chicken to the air for longer than necessary. That coating could be applied more safely before cooking to the same effect. At worst, it can make the surface of the chicken mushy." —lordrothermere 3."It's not a common myth, but I've heard it at least twice, and it flabbergasts and irritates me in equal measure: Fruits and vegetables from a home garden are gross and dirty because of how they were grown, compared to those found in grocery stores. While farms use enough pesticides and herbicides to keep the produce looking darn near perfect, unless it's some high-tech hydroponic stuff, it's grown in dirt and needs to be washed, too." —Cinsay01 4."Not washing your cast iron pans with soap irritates me so much. Wash your pans and don't be gross. I wash mine with soap, water, and chainmail, then I throw it on the stove top with a dab of oil and heat it up until it smokes. Never had a problem with rust or my seasoning failing." —Thel_Odan "It's because you're legitimately not supposed to use 'strong soap' meaning lye, but dish soap (that is, weak soap) makers never bothered to distinguish what 'strong soap' actually means in their marketing, so people think Dawn is 'strong soap' when it's not even close (even if it is a strong dish soap compared to other brands). Don't use lye on cast iron, but any weak soap (meaning dish soap) is fine." —Johnny_B_GOODBOI 5."Fresh fish over frozen is so wrong because most frozen fish is flash frozen on the boat and is closer to fresh than a cold storage one that's been on the road for the same time. Same argument, different reason for canned tomatoes over fresh tomatoes; canned are picked fresh while fresh are under-ripened, picked for transportation, and gassed for color." —InquisitiveNerd 6."That it takes like 15 minutes to caramelize onions when it takes AT LEAST an hour, closer to two." —Ok_Explanation4813 7."'Only cook with a wine you'd drink.' This works as a rule if you drink bargain wine, but it's ridiculous if applied to people who drink and enjoy mid or high-priced wines. I would never drink a glass of Charles Shaw/Two-Buck-Chuck (from Trader Joe's), but that's the wine I cook with. It's cheap and tastes great when cooked in food. Yes, in a pinch, I've used pricey wine to cook with and didn't notice a difference." —mintbrownie 8."That cooking at home costs more. No. If you went to the store and bought every ingredient new, of course, that would cost a lot. People don't cook like that every meal. You need to use the leftover ingredients you bought for the cost-saving to kick in." —MyNameIsSkittles 9."'Olive oil shouldn't be used for high-heat cooking.' In reality, good-quality extra virgin olive oil has a higher smoke point than many think (around 400°F), and it's completely fine for sautéing or roasting. The myth comes from confusion between refined and unrefined oils and a bit of marketing." —jds_94 10."'Be suuuuuuper careful not to get any egg yolk in your egg whites, otherwise they can't be whipped! And wipe down your bowl/beater with vinegar to make sure there's no fat there, too!' You can whip an entire egg to medium peaks. Before chemical leavening agents (like baking soda), that was how you made cakes nice and light. You don't want any fat in your egg whites because if you're whipping egg whites, you're usually making something meringue-based, and you want meringues to be nice and dry. Fat is a moisturizer/tenderizer, so it's not welcome at the party. Still, a tiny bit won't kill a dish. Wiping down your bowl/beater with vinegar is a good idea because acid stabilizes egg whites and helps them whip up faster. If fat stopped you from being able to beat air into eggs, then mayonnaise would be impossible." —Ok_Surprise_4090 11."'Test if spaghetti is done by throwing it at a wall to see if it sticks.' Or you could like…taste it or something." —perthuz 12."While I agree that recipes often underestimate the time required, I dislike the idea that 'cooking a meal' requires a huge amount of time and effort. Even worse if the person saying it makes it into some 'I'm just sooooo busy' competition. Yes, some meals would require a lot of time and effort, but you can still make serviceable meals with a small amount of time and effort. Over time, you'll get better at cooking, and those meals will get better too." —MAMark1 13."Fancy, single-purpose gadgets will save time. The part of cooking I've learned that takes the most time is cleaning up after. More often than not, I see the fancy cutters and stirrers as an extra complicated thing to wash, dry, and store compared to the knife or spoon I would otherwise use. With a little practice, you can get the onion minced small, nearly as quickly as the swing top veggie chopper, with a lot fewer pieces with nooks and crannies to clean afterwards. I'm all for simplifying and speeding up the process, and if you have a lot of cheese to grate or veggies to chop or slice, then a gadget can be beneficial. Otherwise, for most home chefs, busy parents, or novice cooks, I say save yourself a few hundred dollars and forget about the gadgets. Any amount of time they save in prep, they'll cost double in clean up." —whydid7eat9 14."That cooking is an art that can't be taught. It's not an art. It can be explained. Good Eats taught me how to cook. Thank you, Alton Brown. My wife thanks you too." —Dragonswim "There are very few things in the world that are impossible to learn. There are tons of free resources to learn from. Look up a recipe, give it a shot, Google things you don't understand." —VividBeautiful3782 15."That the spiciest part of peppers is the seeds. This leads to people leaving the bitter seeds. The real spicy part is the pith (white part inside that holds the seeds)." —Dakkadence 16."Cook tops and burners have settings other than 'surface of the sun.' Medium is the new high, people. AND you can change the setting WHILE COOKING! Gasp." —Sixtyhurts 17."'You should only flip a steak or hamburger once.' I found this to be false. I have more control over a hamburger when I flip it multiple times. It's more important to pay close attention and check the temperature. Also, a technique for cooking steak called butter basting requires multiple flips." —rudiseeker That's the shortlist of kitchen myths Reddit is tired of hearing.
