COSRX is a leading South Korean skincare brand that has achieved global acclaim for its minimalist approach to beauty and highly effective ingredient-driven formulas. The 'The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum' is part of their professional-grade line, designed to address multiple skin concerns including texture, hydration, and firmness using a concentrated peptide complex.
Originally founded in 2013 by Jun Sang Hun, the brand name is a portmanteau of the word 'Cosmetics' and the symbol 'RX' (prescription). COSRX quickly became a staple in the K-Beauty movement, known particularly for its cult-favorite snail mucin and acid-based treatments. While it began as a specialized niche label under a small Korean firm, its massive international success attracted significant investment.
In 2021, the South Korean beauty giant Amorepacific acquired a minority stake in COSRX, later moving to acquire a majority stake and full ownership of the brand by late 2023. As of 2024 and beyond, the brand is part of the Amorepacific Group portfolio, benefiting from their extensive research, development, and global distribution network. The product remains proudly manufactured in South Korea, adhering to the high production standards characteristic of the Korean cosmetics industry.
