In this article, I will tell you about the best beauty products from the famous Korean brand Cosrx. This brand is famous for its cosmetics with AHA and BHA acids for the treatment of problem skin.
And I’ll start with a short story about the brand …
About The Cosrx Brand
Their slogan – The best solutions for various skin problems.
Sounds promising and it really is. The effectiveness of Cosrx skin care products is noticed by both women and men around the world. Most of the products are focused on problem skin that requires special care – prone to acne and rashes.
What I love about Cosrx is that they use the minimum amount of ingredients. And they never use ingredients like talc, mineral oil, resorcinol ingredients, urea, hydroquinones, Sulfates SLS and SLES, Parabens, Formaldehydes, Formaldehyde-releasing agents, Phthalates, Retinyl palmitate, Oxybenzone, Coal tar, Triclosan and Triclocarban.
And my favorite – they don’t test their cosmetics on animals – it’s cruelty-free.
The only thing I don’t like about Cosrx is the design of their cosmetics. If they invested in making the packaging of their products beautiful, that would be perfect. But on the other hand, due to the fact that they don’t spend much on expensive design, they can afford to release their products at a rather low price, which is good news.
This was a short introduction, but now let’s move on to a reviews of the best Cosrx products.

Who Are Cosrx Skin Care Products For?
Cosrx has a large number of different lines of cosmetics that are suitable for different skin types. The snail line is universal – it is suitable for all skin types and for all ages. The line with hyaluronic acid is suitable for dry skin as well as for prone acne skin. The line with propolis is designed to nourish and moisturize the skin, but also has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Cosrx has a Pure Fit line, it has an amazing hypoallergenic composition, there is nothing to complain about, so if you have sensitive skin, then I advise you to try it.
In my opinion, all Cosrx cosmetics are designed for young skin or skin with the first signs of aging. This brand doesn’t have a strong anti-aging line, although all lines have anti-aging effect.
Cosrx has amazing toners with AHA and BHA acids, as well as very cool exfoliating pads that are suitable for exfoliating different skin types. Cosrx One Step Green Hero Calming Pad contains PHA acids that are most gentle on the skin, making them ideal for sensitive and dry skin.
Cosrx One Step Original Clear Pad is ideal for normal to oily to combination skin. Cosrx One Step Moisture Up Pads work well for dry skin, but they have one drawback – they leave a sticky film, but overall they are good and worth trying.
Also Cosrx has now released new products – masks and lip scrub, but in my opinion, giving 20 euros for a lip mask is too much. My favorite at the moment is Frudia Blueberry Hydrating Honey Lip Balm. It costs around € 5 and works amazing.
What I really advise you to try at Cosrx is snail cosmetics, Cosrx Good Morning Low pH Gel Cleanser and some peeling pads.
Conclusion
These were the best Cosrx products that really deserve your attention.
I hope you enjoyed this article and found something useful in it.
I wish you good luck and patience in your quest for perfect skin.
Love yourself and be beautiful!
