About COSRX
COSRX sells single-concern skincare with ingredient names on the front of the pack, and grew almost entirely through online communities rather than retail. Amorepacific acquired a controlling stake in 2023. Its snail mucin essence and its acid toners became widely known through Korean beauty forums and video reviews years before the brand had significant Western distribution.
