The Autumn Skin Reset: 3 Must-Have Barrier Solutions at Exclusive Amazon Deal Prices

Published

on

By

LONDON, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — COSRX, the globally loved Korean skincare brand known for effective, ingredient-focused solutions, is bringing up to 56% off its skincare favourites to Amazon UK Prime Big Deal Days, taking place for just two days from 6–7 October.

As temperatures drop and skincare routines shift for autumn, skin needs extra hydration and barrier protection. To help prepare for the colder months ahead, COSRX presents the ‘Autumn Skin Reset’ during Prime Big Deal Days. 
Whether your skin needs a hydration reset, a longer-term focus on skin longevity or extra barrier support and daily protection, explore the three edits below to find the care that best suits your needs.

The RESET Edit: Restore Hydration & Glow

Up to 56% Off | Start with Snail Mucin to replenish moisture 

Colder, drier weather can leave skin calling for more hydration, making autumn a natural time to bring moisture and glow back into focus. COSRX’s iconic Advanced Snail Mucin duo is designed to replenish moisture levels and boost your skin’s natural radiance in two easy steps.

Powered by 96% Snail Secretion Filtrate, the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence (£11.05, 56% off) delivers a weightless burst of hydration and a glassy sheen. The Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream (£12.00, 54% off) follows up with rich moisture, locking in hydration to keep skin visibly plump, smooth, and glowing all day long.

The SKIN LONGEVITY Edit: Build a Skin Longevity Routine with Peptides

Up to 49% Off | Think beyond the season with peptide care 

Beyond addressing immediate seasonal concerns, autumn can also be an opportunity to take a longer-term approach to skincare. COSRX’s peptide edit focuses on skin longevity, incorporating consistent, targeted care to support firmer, smoother and healthy-looking skin over time.

For Prime Big Deal Days, COSRX brings together peptide-rich formulas designed to enhance skin firmness across everyday and targeted care. The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum (£14.25, 43% off) is a lightweight first-step booster that primes skin in your daily routine, while The Peptide Collagen Eye Patch (£11.73, 49% off) delivers a concentrated treatment to refresh and smooth the delicate eye area.

At the heart of the edit is the NEW Blue Peptide Bakuchiol Plump Glow Serum (£20.50, 24% off), a key innovation in COSRX’s skin longevity approach. Pairing blue copper peptides with bakuchiol, a gentler alternative to retinol, the formula targets the appearance of elasticity, firmness and youthful-looking bounce.

Together, the trio offers a way to incorporate peptide care across daily, targeted and more intensive skin longevity routines.

The PROTECTION Edit: Strengthen the Barrier & Keep SPF in Check

Up to 39% Off | Prepare skin for colder months with Ceramides + Daily SPF

This edit is all about protection, supporting the skin barrier with ceramide-powered moisture, while keeping daily SPF in the routine beyond summer. Together, the two form a simple defence strategy to help keep skin protected throughout the season.

The Ceramide Skin Barrier Moisturiser (£15.10, 34% off) provides ceramide-powered moisture to help support the skin barrier and keep skin feeling comfortable through changing weather.

For daytime protection, the Ultra-Light Invisible Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ (£10.40, 39% off), which ranked No.1 in Amazon’s Face Sunscreen category in both the UK and Germany during April and May 2026, provides high UVA and UVB protection in a lightweight, invisible formula. Made with 66.4% Aloe Leaf Water and Witch Hazel, it makes daily SPF easy to carry from autumn into winter.

One More for the PBDD Basket: A Vitamin C Favourite at 40% Off

Beyond the Autumn Skin Reset edit, one more COSRX favourite is joining the Prime Big Deal Days line-up. Advanced The Vitamin C 23 Serum (£14.99, 40% off), a concentrated vitamin C serum for brighter, more radiant-looking skin, will also be available at a special price during the two-day event.

The Anime “KAGURABACHI” Casts Yuichi Nakamura as Soshiro Azami; Cast Comments, Character Visual & Trailer Revealed!

Published

on

By

TOKYO, Oct. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The anime Kagurabachi, based on a next-generation flagship title from Weekly Shonen Jump, has announced that Yuichi Nakamura has been cast as Soshiro Azami. Alongside this announcement, a new character visual, trailer and comments from Nakamura have also been unveiled.

Kagurabachi (Original Author: Takeru Hokazono), currently serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, has surpassed a cumulative circulation of 4.5 million copies (including digital editions). A stellar team of creators has been assembled for the project. Production will be handled by CyberAgent group company animation studio, Cypic (Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, The Summer Hikaru Died), the anime boasts an all-star staff, including Director Tetsuya Takeuchi (Action Animation Director on Sword Art Online II, Battle Scene Storyboards/Episode Director/Animation Director on Heavenly Delusion) and Character Designer Keigo Sasaki (Blue Exorcist, The Seven Deadly Sins). The protagonist, Chihiro Rokuhira, is voiced by Taihi Kimura, winner of the Best New Actor award at the 2025 Seiyu Awards.

Yuichi Nakamura Cast as Soshiro Azami!
Yuichi Nakamura will play Soshiro Azami, a sorcerer affiliated with the Kamunabi. To commemorate the announcement, comments from Nakamura were also shared.

Full Comments from Yuichi Nakamura:
Q. What are your impressions of the character you voice, and what did you keep in mind while voicing them?
Although there are still relatively few characters, I paid close attention to how he balances with the others.
This should really pay off when a lot more characters start appearing later on…!
I approached the role viewing him as someone who is serious, yet carries a bit of a dry demeanor.

Q. How did you feel when you were cast, and what are your thoughts on the anime?
I read the manga when I auditioned for the role, and I felt like it really embodied the recent “spirit of Jump.” I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next, so I ended up reading every volume that had been released!
I’m incredibly excited to see all those memorable scenes brought to life in the anime.

Q. What were your thoughts when you first read the manga?
Although it starts off with a dark atmosphere, the protagonist’s convictions and goals are clearly defined, making it really fun to read.
The action may be what catches people’s attention first, but the worldbuilding, artistic sensibility, and unfolding story are equally captivating.

Q. What is Azami’s greatest charm?
He strikes me as a realist who serves as a contrast to the romanticist Shiba.
He’s compassionate, yet there’s something interesting about how he stays slightly detached.
I think he’s a character whose appeal will become increasingly apparent as the story progresses.

Q. How would you describe the appeal of the series in one phrase?
“Incandescent!”

Soshiro Azami Character Visual & Trailer Unveiled!

Soshiro Azami Character Introduction
A sorcerer affiliated with the Kamunabi. One of the few people who knows of Chihiro’s existence, which had been kept secret. Possessing extraordinary physical strength that allows him to overwhelm his opponents with devastating blows, he stands out as one of the Kamunabi’s most formidable members.
