Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I use COSRX acne patches?
Apply the patch to clean, dry skin directly on the blemish in the evening or during the day. Leave for 6–8 hours or overnight. The hydrocolloid material draws out pus and protects the blemish from bacteria and fingers.
Is COSRX Advanced Snail Essence suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes – the snail mucin essence is formulated with a minimal ingredient list and is suitable even for sensitive or reactive skin. The formula is free of fragrances and potentially irritating ingredients.
How do I combine COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid with other products?
Use the BHA exfoliant in the evening after a cleanser and before serums and cream. Start with 2–3 times per week and observe your skin's reaction. Always use SPF protection during the day.
