FAQs

Is COSRX suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Formulas are minimal and fragrance-free (or very low fragrance) with barrier-supportive bases, making them suitable for most sensitive-skin users.

What does snail mucin do?

Snail secretion filtrate helps retain moisture, supports barrier repair, and improves the look of texture and fine lines, all with a lightweight feel.

Can I use AHA/BHA daily?

Start 2–3 times per week, then increase frequency as tolerated. Always pair with SPF in the morning.

Are the pimple patches safe for daytime?

Yes. They’re ultra-thin and help shield blemishes from picking and external irritants; apply on clean, dry skin.

Which COSRX sunscreen should I pick?

The Aloe Soothing Sun Cream suits dry/normal skin; opt for lighter gel textures if you’re very oily or live in humid climates.
