COSRX Inc.

COSRX Inc. is a South Korean beauty and skincare brand, established in 2013 by Jun Sang Hun. The company's name, a portmanteau of "Cosmetics" and "RX" (prescription), reflects its mission to provide effective, dermatology-inspired solutions for various skin concerns. Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, COSRX aims to offer "Friendly Derma Cosmetics" that help individuals address their specific skin conditions, fostering self-confidence and enhancing natural beauty.

COSRX specializes in a range of skincare products, including serums, toners, moisturizers, masks, and lip care, with a focus on minimalist, science-backed formulations designed for sensitive skin. Key product lines and bestsellers include the Advanced Snail series, Acne Pimple Master Patch, Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, and various offerings from its RX line. The brand has also expanded its portfolio to include hair care products, such as the PEPTIDE-132™ line. COSRX targets a broad market segment of consumers seeking accessible, ingredient-driven, and effective skincare solutions for common issues like acne, sensitivity, and dryness.

In October 2023, COSRX became a subsidiary of Amorepacific Corporation, a major South Korean beauty conglomerate, which acquired a 93.2% stake in the company. This acquisition is intended to accelerate COSRX's global expansion. The brand has a significant international presence, with products distributed in over 146 countries, and has demonstrated rapid growth, reporting an average annual sales growth rate exceeding 60% in the past three years. COSRX achieved a notable milestone in 2025 by becoming the first Korean skincare and hair care brand to officially sponsor Paris Fashion Week's main season.
