Established in 2013, Cosrx quickly gained popularity amongst skincare lovers with its simple and innovative approach to resolving skin problems. The brand was ranked No.1 in the skincare category by the YouTuber Research Institute big data and its products have received multiple awards from various Korean and overseas contests.

The brand name “Cosrx” is the combination of “Cosmetics” and “Rx”, which reflects the brand’s mission to resolve skin problems.

Cosrx’s brand slogan is “Expecting Tomorrow“, which demonstrates their attitude towards innovation. This can be seen from many of their products utilising the latest technology and effective ingredients.

Many of Cosrx’s products only use a handful of ingredients to minimise the extra burden on problem and sensitive skins and maximise the efficacy of the product. Customers can easily understand from the active ingredient the key function of the product and benefits to the skin.

Cosrx’s star product is their Acne Pimple patches, which is a gel patch that’s applied to active pimples, to reduce contact, inhibit bacteria spread and expedite the healing of the breakout. By using the patch, pimples heal much faster, painlessly and the risk of scarring is significantly reduced.
