Your Path to Flawless Skin with COSRX

Welcome to the COSRX Skincare Guide for Beginners! Whether you're new to COSRX or looking to simplify your skincare routine, we've got you covered. This MakeCool's guide introduces a simple yet effective three-step routine using COSRX's best-selling products. From balancing your skin's pH to targeting specific concerns and protecting your skin from environmental damage, COSRX has everything you need to achieve healthy, radiant skin. Let's dive into the perfect skincare journey with COSRX!

Step 1: Daily Cleansing

Ready: Preparing your skin by cleansing

Daily facial washing is essential for removing dirt, excess sebum, and makeup. Cleansing prepares your skin to absorb active ingredients from the rest of your skincare routine. MakeCool offers two COSRX's fantastic cleansers to suit different skin needs.

COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is a 150ml face wash designed to balance your skin's natural pH, supporting a healthy oil-water balance and protecting against irritants. It deeply cleanses without stripping essential moisture, leaving skin soft and nourished. Enriched with Betaine Salicylate (BHA), it gently exfoliates to refine texture and reveal a radiant complexion. Infused with Tea Tree Oil and Allantoin, this cleanser soothes irritation and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier. Hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, and free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and alcohol, it adheres to COSRX’s high standards for skin-friendly ingredients.
COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is a 150ml nourishing cleansing wash designed to treat and prevent breakouts. Enriched with Tea Tree Oil, Willow Bark Water, and 0.5% Salicylic Acid, it gently removes dirt, excess oil, and product build-up while replenishing moisture. This formula combats the underlying causes of blemishes and breakouts, resulting in a soft, visibly clearer complexion with a natural glow. Ideal for combination, oily, and acne-prone skin types.

Step 2: Targeted Treatments

Target: Addressing specific skin concerns with treatments like serums or essence

This step is crucial for effective skincare. Depending on your skin concerns, choose a serum or essence with a high concentration of active ingredients.

COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is a 100ml hydrating serum formulated with 96.3% Snail Secretion Filtrate. This powerful essence repairs and soothes red, sensitized skin, replenishing deep moisture while improving elasticity. It reduces dullness, hydrates, and leaves skin with a healthy glow. Lightweight and quickly absorbed, it is highly recommended for dehydrated and damaged skin. The product is 100% natural, hypoallergenic, and dermatologist-tested. For those with sensitive skin, a patch test is recommended before full application.
COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner is a 150ml lightweight essence designed to refine and resurface your complexion. Formulated with natural AHAs from Apple Water and BHAs from Willow Bark Water, it effectively removes dead skin cells and impurities, minimizing whiteheads, blackheads, and blemishes. The toner also contains soothing Allantoin and Jeju Island Mineral Water, which restore moisture and radiance. Gentle enough for daily use on all skin types, it can also be used as a toner mask for immediate hydration. COSRX products are hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and free from animal testing, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and alcohol.
For a lighter yet effective anti-aging boost, COSRX's Pure Vitamin C 13% Serum is your go-to. This hydrating booster serum contains 13% pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol), and Hyaluronic Acid to enhance skin brightness and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Suitable for daily use, apply 2-3 drops once or twice daily and follow with SPF 30+ sunscreen. Store in the fridge to maintain freshness. This serum is hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and free from animal testing, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. A patch test is recommended before full application.
Combat signs of aging and dullness with COSRX's Pure Vitamin C 23% Serum, a powerful brightening and hydrating facial serum. Formulated with 23% pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), this serum promotes youthful, glowing skin by reducing fine lines and uneven skin tone. Enhanced with Super Vitamin E (Tocotrienol) and Hyaluronic Acid, it delivers deep moisture and fights aging signs. Recommended for daily use, apply 2-3 drops once or twice daily and follow with SPF 30+ sunscreen. Store in the fridge to prevent oxidation. This serum is hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and free from animal testing, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. A patch test is recommended due to the high concentration of Vitamin C.

Step 3: Protection

Protect: Apply sunscreen or other protective products to safeguard your skin from environmental factors

After addressing specific skin concerns, the final and most crucial step is to protect your skin with a moisturizer and SPF (for morning use only). Moisturizer helps maintain skin hydration and strengthens the skin barrier, while SPF shields your skin from sun damage

COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream is a multi-solution moisturizer infused with 92% snail mucin (Snail Secretion Filtrate) for long-lasting hydration and deep moisture. This lightweight, gel-type cream builds a moisture barrier to plump and soothe the skin while reviving radiance. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and betaine, it repairs and strengthens the skin barrier, making it perfect for dehydrated and damaged skin. The key ingredient, snail secretion filtrate, delivers instant soothing effects and deep hydration. COSRX ensures no snails are harmed in the process, and the product is 100% natural, hypoallergenic, and dermatologist-tested.
COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream is a daily hydrating sunscreen with SPF 50+++ that provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Enriched with 5,500ppm Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water, it soothes and repairs sun-damaged skin, reduces redness, and prevents dryness. This lightweight sunscreen absorbs quickly, leaves no white cast, and offers a semi-matte finish with a natural glow, making it suitable for all skin types and tones. Apply as the last step in your skincare routine before makeup and outdoor activities.
