About Us

Since 2013, COSRX has been on a mission rooted in empathy and science: to understand every skin type and its unique needs, crafting gentle, effective skincare solutions that alleviate irritation and nurture healthier skin. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful belief: skincare should be accessible, transparent, and kind—both to your skin and to the planet. What started as a dedicated team’s commitment to solving common skin struggles has grown into a global community of skincare lovers who trust us to deliver products that work without compromise.
The name COSRX is a fusion of “cosmetics” and “RX” (prescription), a reflection of our core philosophy: to create skincare that combines the care of cosmetics with the precision of a dermatological prescription. Long before our official founding in 2013, our team had already begun collecting insights into people’s skin concerns, a practice that continues to shape every product we develop today. We believe that great skincare starts with listening—we study diverse skin types, gather feedback from our community, and prioritize ingredients that are skin-friendly, hypoallergenic, and free from unnecessary additives that can irritate sensitive skin.
At COSRX, we are obsessed with quality and transparency. Our products are formulated with carefully selected, skin-friendly ingredients that have been proven to soothe irritation, support the skin’s natural barrier, and address specific concerns like dryness, acne, and dullness. We avoid harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and unnecessary fillers, focusing instead on minimal, effective formulations that work in harmony with your skin. With 24 dedicated teams, 3 research centers, and over 200 experts working tirelessly on skin concerns, we ensure every product is dermatologically tested and safe for even the most sensitive skin types.
Today, COSRX is available in more than 146 countries worldwide, with iconic products like our Advanced Snail 96% Mucin Power Essence and Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser earning global acclaim. Our cumulative sales exceed 13 million units for our advanced snail category alone, a testament to the trust our customers place in us. But our success is not measured by numbers—it’s measured by the way our products help people feel confident in their skin. We remain true to our founding promise: to use skin-friendly ingredients and innovative technology to provide a better tomorrow for our customers, one gentle skincare step at a time.
