Honestly, have you ever wondered, "Are these COSRX products really worth all the hype?" Between the endless TikTok videos, the snail slime cream , and the spot-removing patches we see everywhere, it's hard not to be tempted. But really, what are the best COSRX skincare products? And more importantly, which ones really deserve a place in your beauty routine?
Don't worry, we've broken it all down for you. In this article, we dive into the heart of Korean brand COSRX to separate the must-haves from the mere marketing ploys. Let's go!
What exactly is COSRX? A concentrate of K-beauty effectiveness 🧪
Before listing the flagship products, a quick flashback to the brand itself. COSRX is a mix between the COS of "cosmetics" and RX, an abbreviation of "prescription" in medical language. Created in South Korea in 2013 , the brand quickly established itself with a minimalist approach, targeted formulas, few superfluous ingredients, and above all, clinically proven effectiveness.
What makes it so strong? An obsession with skin balance, light textures, and star active ingredients like centella asiatica, snail slime, and salicylic acid , suitable for both sensitive and blemish-prone skin.
And since Holy Skin offers routines by skin type , COSRX fits perfectly into our selections. 😉
1. Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence : the darling of dehydrated skin 🐌
Ah, the famous snail slime essence ... If you were to try only one COSRX product, this would probably be it. With 96% filtered snail mucin, this essence has real regenerative, soothing, and plumping power.
Why we love it:
-
It helps repair damaged or stressed skin (acne, marks, dehydration, etc.).
-
Its gel texture is light, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin soft.
It's a global bestseller, and for good reason: it boosts radiance without ever overwhelming the skin. Do you have combination or sensitive skin? This is definitely a must-have.
2. COSRX Master Patch Original Fit : the little miracle anti-pimple patches ✨
Got a breakout the night before a date? Don't panic, COSRX's Master Patch is here to help.
These ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches are applied directly to blemishes. Within hours, they help absorb sebum, soothe inflammation, and protect against external aggressions. The result: the pimple deflates without leaving a trace.
What we particularly like:
-
Their discretion (you can wear them even during the day!).
-
Their effectiveness in one night on inflamed spots.
And if you have blemish-prone skin, be sure to check out our anti-acne routine on Holy Skin!
3. Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser : the gentle cleanser with the ideal pH ☀️
We can't say it enough: good cleansing is the foundation. And with this low pH cleansing gel , COSRX hits hard. It cleanses the skin without attacking it, while respecting the hydrolipidic film.
Highlights:
-
Perfect for dry or redness-prone skin.
-
Leaves skin clean but not tight.
Ideal for morning use (but you can also use it at night), this product is suitable for all skin types. For a minimalist but effective routine, start with this gel, then follow with the snail slime essence. A winning combo.
4. Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream : the multifunctional moisturizer 🧴
Another mucin-based product? Yes. But this one is an all-in-one cream, with 92% snail slime extract .
What it is used for:
-
It intensely hydrates, repairs, soothes and improves skin texture.
-
It can be used as a night or day cream depending on your needs.
This is a great choice if you don't want to multiply the products.
5. BHA Blackhead Power Liquid : the anti-blackhead weapon 🖤
This exfoliating liquid with BHA (salicylic acid) is designed to unclog pores, refine skin texture and prevent blackheads.
What it does very well:
-
It acts gently on persistent imperfections.
-
It visibly improves the clarity of the complexion in just a few weeks.
Be careful, like any acid, you have to introduce it gradually into your routine (twice a week at first). And always remember to put on sunscreen in the morning!

Are COSRX skincare products right for you? 👀
Good question! If you're looking for simple, effective, and affordable products, then probably yes.
COSRX is especially recommended if you have:
-
sensitive or reactive skin (thanks to its gentle formulas)
-
blemish-prone skin (thanks to patches and BHAs)
-
dehydrated or marked skin (long live snail mucin)
But be careful, everyone's skin is different. Don't hesitate to test gradually , or start with a short routine.
