The COSRX Thread

[JoSometimes]

I don’t think we have a thread for COSRX. For those who are unfamiliar, it’s a k-beauty skincare brand that is surprisingly affordable. Their products are starting to appear on North American shelves even in places like Walmart and Winners/Marshalls. 

Please feel free to post reviews or ask questions about any of their offerings!

It’s been more than a week since I started using The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum. I did experience some tingling at first but I isolated the culprit. By itself, I didn’t feel any tingling. I would say the consistency is thinner than other hyaluronic acid serums I’ve tried like Inkey’s or HadoLabo’s. The addition of the other ingredients seem to have been welcomed by my skin with open cells. I swear my forehead wrinkles are softer! Time will tell how much they’ll fade by. For now, this one’s a keeper.

My current collection of COSRX products. 

Lip Sleep is one of my favourite lip masks and my current winter one. I have seen different versions of this. The one I have has ceramides for some extra protection and repair. I used this to help deal with chapped, flakey lips, and that went away. I haven’t had that problem return since. 

Aloe Soothing Sun Cream is my current sunscreen and I can see myself buying this again. Minimal white cast that goes away with a bit of working it into the skin, not irritating, and not greasy feeling. I’ve even used it on my kids without them complaining.

The 6 Peptide Skin Booster is new to me and I’ve only used it a few times now. It does feel similar in consistency to other hyaluronic acid serums I’ve tried but the added ingredients should help improve my skin more. After a few days, my forehead is feeling nice and smooth. 

I do notice a bit of tingling after applying, which goes away for a few minutes. For the records I have dry, sensitive skin. I will have to try and play around with my routine a little to see if it’s because of this one new product or because of some interaction between the rest of my routine. 

Tagging @faeriegirl @CynthieLu @makeitup305 @Cissy63 @WinglessOne @CookieGirl1 @ather @Mellmars1185 since you asked. I’ll try to update again a few a few days. 😊

@JoSometimes  Thank you for the tag!  And thank you for starting this on Brand Loyal 😀.  While I have seen this line, mainly at TJ Maxx and Marshals I have not tried it yet.  But I am always on the lookout for Hyaluronic Acid serum.  Appreciate your review 😀

[JoSometimes]

@Cissy63 I love a good hyaluronic acid serum. My skin just drinks it up! Hado Labo GokuJyun lotion is another good one. It’s Japanese and is more like a serum than a lotion but it’s great on my skin.

@JoSometimes  Thanks for the info!

The sunblock is my absolute favorite from their lineeee. I've been using it for like 10 years+ now!! I have like 4 in stock at all times LOL I would love to hear more about the Peptide booster once you get more time with it @JoSometimes !!! 🥰🥰🥰

[JoSometimes]

@jaaayp Sunblock besties! 
I will definitely post after a few days. I swear some of my wrinkles are less pronounced…

@JoSometimes  Thanks for tagging me so I can read the updates!!! Great idea to start a brand page! It’s such a great brand! 

[JoSometimes]

@ather I’m surprised no one started a specifically for COSRX yet! It is a great brand!

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes Thank you for the update and creating this thread. I will keep an eye out for this when I am shopping next. The lip mask sounds great.

[JoSometimes]

Of course @Mellmars1185! I look forward to hearing your thoughts if you do pick up something from them. 

[makeitup305]

Thanks for the tag @JoSometimes . I look forward to hearing how it works and then giving it a try.

@JoSometimes 

Thank you for this thread.

I’m very curious about COSRX. I’ve seen them a lot on k-beauty online stores. 

I’m interested in the lip masks, peptide booster & their propolis skincare line.

I will probably get some of their products when I finish some of my skincare products.

[JoSometimes]

@Lila12345678 Lip mask? Highly recommended. I think they have a propolis lip mask too. If you ever try, please come post your thoughts!

[Lila12345678]

@JoSometimes 
I will!

[WinglessOne]

Thanks for the tag, @JoSometimes ! Glad to hear the peptide serum’s working well for you so far, aside from a little tingling. That’s much better than a burning or stinging sensation. 👍 

And thanks for starting a COSRX brand thread! I’ve been using their products for a few years; they’ve been available here in the US for quite a while now, though the best product selection’s still at the brand’s site and some of the K-beauty/J-beauty online retailers. I’ll have to put together a list + feedback of all my COSRX products soon. 🙂 

[JoSometimes]

@WinglessOne I would absolutely toss it if my skin couldn’t handle it.

I’m curious to know what else you’ve tried. I saw a ceramide spray when I bought this one that I want to check out next time. 

[WinglessOne]

@JoSometimes  I’d have bought that spray (Balancium somethingorother Mist), but I can’t use it on my face because it contains bergamot oil. Once upon a time I liked using Indie Lee’s CoQ-10 Toner (also comes in a spray bottle) but had to stop because it also contained bergamot oil, which was causing unseen skin irritation. If your skin can handle citrus oils and you pick up COSRX’s ceramide mist, I hope it works out for you. 🙂
