COSRX
Minimalist Korean formulas where one hero ingredient does the work
About COSRX
COSRX — short for Cosmetics plus RX — was founded in Seoul in 2013 by Jun Sang-hun, who couldn't find skincare simple enough for his own sensitive skin. The answer became a philosophy: strip away fragrance, fillers and flashy packaging, and build each formula around one proven hero ingredient at a meaningful concentration.
That quiet discipline turned COSRX into a global phenomenon. The brand popularised snail mucin, collected gently while the snails roam freely, and turned it into modern classics: Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence layers weightless, glassy hydration, while Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream seals it in with the same supple bounce. Low pH is the other signature — Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser washes the day in without disturbing the skin barrier.
Today the line stretches from acne-calming BHA cleansers to firming peptides like The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum, yet every product keeps the same promise: visible results, minimal irritation. At Skin101 we carry one of Israel's largest COSRX selections — over fifty products across cleansers, toners, serums, masks and sun care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is COSRX a good brand?+
Yes. COSRX is one of the most trusted names in Korean skincare, known for minimalist, dermatologist-tested formulas built around a single proven ingredient. Since 2013 its snail mucin essence and low pH cleansers have become global bestsellers, loved precisely because they skip fragrance and fillers and focus on visible, gentle results — especially for sensitive and blemish-prone skin.
What is COSRX best known for?+
Snail mucin. Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, with 96 percent snail secretion filtrate, is the brand's icon — a lightweight layer of hydration that supports a smooth, plump, glass-skin finish. Its partner, Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream, plus low pH cleansers and hydrocolloid pimple patches, complete the signature lineup.
Which skin type is COSRX good for?+
COSRX designs for reactive skin first: low pH cleansers and fragrance-free formulas suit sensitive and acne-prone complexions, snail mucin and hyaluronic lines comfort dry or dehydrated skin, and BHA products help oily skin stay clear. Most of the range is gentle enough for daily use across skin types.
Is COSRX cruelty-free?+
COSRX states that it does not test products or ingredients on animals, and its snail mucin is collected without harming the snails, which roam freely over mesh in a calm environment. Note that snail mucin is animal-derived, so those products are not vegan, and strict shoppers should know COSRX now operates under the Amorepacific group.
Are COSRX products at Skin101 original?+
Yes. Every COSRX product at Skin101 is 100 percent authentic and arrives through official import. We stock over fifty COSRX items — essences, creams, cleansers and sun care — and deliver across Israel, so you get the same formulas sold in Korea, fresh and genuine. We buy through the brand's official importer in Israel, and every unit carries the importer's stamp and official instructions on the packaging — an easy way to tell it apart from the counterfeits that fill the online market.
