COSRX is a world-renowned Korean skincare brand founded in 2013 by Sang-Hun Jeon. The brand's name is derived from 'Cosmetics' and 'RX' (Prescription), highlighting its commitment to skin-friendly ingredients and effective solutions for various skin concerns. The brand gained massive popularity globally, particularly for its innovative use of snail secretion filtrate, which is the primary ingredient in the product shown.
Originally founded in South Korea, the brand was a pioneer in the K-beauty explosion in Western markets. In recent years, it became a major target for acquisition. Following a phased acquisition process that began in 2021, the South Korean beauty giant Amorepacific acquired a majority stake and completed the takeover by late 2023, making COSRX a consolidated subsidiary within their extensive portfolio. Despite the change in ownership, manufacturing remains primarily based in South Korea to maintain quality standards and clinical efficacy.
