CosRX has made such big waves within the minds (and shelves) of skin care junkies that not knowing this brand is practically beauty sacrilege. As far cult-faves go, CosRX is one that has definitely held its ground in spite of the high expectations of their gentle yet effective range of glow-inducing skin care products. For those just easing into the brand and aren’t sure where to start, here are the 5 highly recommended products that the Calyxta Crew swears by to help get you started on your own CosRX journey!
When a pesky little zit arrives unannounced, this is our go-to to help clear our skin STAT. This particular variant is made to be extra transparent, making it camouflage better into your skin while it absorbs pus to help accelerate your zit’s healing process. Plus, the protective layer helps keep your from picking at your pimples and transferring even more unwanted germs onto it!
Salicylic acid is known far and wide for its acne-treating and pore-clearing benefits. While Salicylic Acid is a potent AHA on its own, (read here if you need a refresher on what AHA/BHA means), CosRX has done a wonderful job at infusing it into a exfoliating cleanser gentle enough for daily use. We love this especially because it helps keep acne, whiteheads, and blackheads at bay by lifting away excess sebum and dead skin cells to prevent their formation.
Getting rid of dark spots and hyperpigmentation can be tricky business, but don’t be discouraged! This ampoule was made for brightening and whitening with the help of one of Calyxta’s most beloved ingredients: Niacinamide (read up more about it in detail here)! Aside from that, it’s made with 80% Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water that delivers lasting hydration to your skin to keep it supple and healthy. Definitely a must-try for those looking to even out their skin tone!
Maintaining excellent skin all comes down to hydration, so if your skin is feeling a little dry, then this essence needs a spot on your skin care shelf. It’s highly concentrated with Hyaluronic Acid, which is known to help bind water to skin cells and help the skin retain moisture. Keeping your skin well-hydrated helps keep it healthy and resilient against external factors that may cause acne and irritation, so make sure to make hydration a top priority with this powerful essence!
This is one product I personally have repurchased more times than I can count because I can never get enough of how smooth it makes my face feel. Massage it on your face as the last step of your skin care routine before going to bed and wake up to soft, supple skin! It’s also made up of 87% Propolis Extract, which is known for its antimicrobial and antioxidant healing properties, so it’s great for giving tired, distressed skin a loving, restorative boost.
