COSRX – Gentle Skincare Without Compromise

Founded in 2013 in South Korea, COSRX combines science with efficacy: the name is a blend of "Cosmetics" and "RX" (prescription), symbolizing thoughtful, medically inspired skincare. With its philosophy of "Friendly Derma Cosmetics", COSRX offers professional and effective solutions – accessible, gentle on the skin, and always responsive to users' needs.

As early as 2002, the founding team began systematically collecting customer feedback on skin issues – this real-life knowledge became the foundation for the brand’s official launch in 2013.

COSRX stands for minimalist formulas purposefully reduced to the essentials – featuring powerful ingredients such as snail mucin, AHA/BHA acids, peptides, Centella Asiatica, propolis, ceramides, and niacinamide.

The brand consistently avoids unnecessary additives: most formulas are free from parabens, sulfates, artificial fragrances, and animal testing. Many products are also vegan-friendly and especially suitable for sensitive, blemish-prone skin.
