Snail mucin is a powerful anti-ageing ingredient that has taken the skincare world by a storm recently.
With the ability to both hydrate the skin while targeting fine lines and wrinkles, it is understandable why it's popular. If you're looking to add the ingredient into your own routine, then Holland Barrett has just slashed the price of a popular gel.
As reported by The Mirror, the Dr Organic's Snail Gel is proving popular with shoppers who praise it for giving their skin a "younger feel" as well as "helping with wrinkles" and "fading dark spots. Designed for morning and evening use, this gel claims it can make users look younger in just four weeks.
Originally priced at £19.99 for a 50ml tub, Holland Barrett has slashed the price down to just £14.99. This makes it a bit cheaper than major retail rivals Amazon and Superdrug where it is priced at £15.99 for the same tub.
The gel has been infused with Helix Aspersa Muller - a substance that snails naturally produce to help their skin and shell when damaged. There's also aloe vera and bioactive plant ingredients to help leave skin "glowing" and "plumped".
No harm comes to the snails to obtain Dr Organic Snail Gel - on their travels, the snails move over glass panels which are used to safely collect the mucus secretion, which is then filtered and concentrated by vacuum evaporation.

Over 400 shoppers have raved over the Dr Organic Snail Gel on the health retailer's website, as users say they "can't recommend it enough" and that it "feels amazing."
One person said: "I have been using the gel for about a month and yesterday my daughter asked me if I'd had a bit of sneaky Botox done. As I am sixty five I feel this is recommendation enough for this product.”
Beauty deal of the week
Calling all Sabrina Carpenter fans, as one of the singer's most beloved perfumes is now on sale.
The Espresso hitmaker's Caramel Dream Eau de Parfum from her bestselling Sweet Tooth Collection only recently dropped in the UK earlier this year, but it has already earned a legion of fans for its "cosy" and "dreamy" scent.
If you want to bag a bottle for yourself, then the Debenhams sale has reduced a 30ml bottle to £21.24, down from £24.99. Meanwhile, you can get a larger 75ml bottle is now £33.99, reduced from £39.99.
Caramel Dream is described as "the ultimate recipe for irresistible seduction", as it mixes notes of velvety dark chocolate beans and caramelised amber with a musky allure. The sweet scent is balanced out with citrus and smooth almonds for a "playful" twist.
Like the rest of Sabrina's Sweet Tooth perfumes, Caramel Dream is housed in a uniquely shaped bottle that resembles a chocolate bar, making it a standout option for your vanity table.
While there aren't many reviews on Debenhams' website, the perfume does boast an average 4.6 rating on the Fragrance by Sabrina Carpenter website, with fans saying it "smells so delicious" and is also "very dreamy."
One positive review read: "This scent is what dreams are made of!!! It’s not too sweet and it’s not too strong!!! It’s perfect!"
A second enthusiastic shopper said: "This smells so delicious. It lasts ages and the packaging is adorable!! I will 100% buy again when I run out."

A second gushed: "I have used the snail gel for years now. I love the product and it has kept my skin younger. I'm 60 and have very few wrinkles. You really can see a difference after a couple of weeks. A bit sticky when first applied. Definitely reduces lines around eyes. Can not be without it."
And another praised: "I've been using this now the last 3 weeks and my skin is noticeably improved to the point people have commented on how well it looks. I do find the texture a little sticky, but once it dries and I moisturise, it feels amazing. Will definitely be buying it again."
And another added: "I bought this gel and cannot recommend it enough! Skin feels tight and refreshed, miracle in a jar".
One shopper left a three-star review after finding the gel did not suit their skin type. They wrote: "Pleasant but rather drying to my older dryer skin. May be effective for skin with blemishes or oily skin but avoid if your skin is dry!”
Shoppers can purchase the Dr Organic Snail Gel for £14.99 on the Holland and Barrett website here.
Another highly coveted item that took the beauty industry by a storm recently is the COSRX Snail Mucin Power Essence that is priced at £13.98 on Amazon.
