COSRX - Any good?

I know K beauty is a big thing atm, but it isn’t something I know much about.
I was in the boots the other day and noticed a big COSRX stand. I’ve heard their pimple patches are amazing, but I couldn’t see any of those there.
I was uhm ing and aahing, but didn’t end up getting anything, but just wondering if anyone had experience with the brand?

I’ve heard the blackhead cream thing is pretty good as well, but I think mine might be more sebaceous filaments than blackheads, so might be a bit pointless?

My skin tends to be more towards the dry side

Very good! I don’t use a lot from their range but they are good quality products and nothing of theirs is overly harsh as far as I can recall. They have a BHA liquid called blackhead power which I like (good for sebaceous filaments btw).
Their moisturisers are good but not overly heavy, this is great for me but you might need to layer moisture if you’re dry (K beauty is all about the layering). I like the honey overnight mask and my holy grail product is their snail moisturiser, I have no idea how I’ll replace it if it’s ever discontinued.

I never found their pimple patches much good but others do rave about them.

I love their stuff but buy from Korean EBay sellers.
I use the Good Morning gel, Aha whitening power liquid at the mo.

Yes, the snail moisturiser was another one I’d heard about.

I might give it a go, as well as the blackhead power.

I’ve never heard of the whitening power, what does that do, is it for pigmentation?

I have freckles, which have kind of just morphed into blobs around the sides of my face.

I’ve been using niacinadime 4% mixed with tretinoin from dermatica, on my 3rd month now, and while I’ve noticed my skin is smoother it hasn’t done much for the freckles/age spots/sun spots/whatever they are

I use their pH cleanser which is great for my sensitive, oily and dehydrated skin. The spot patches are really great too.

yes, they are consistent and good IMO, but all products are not for everyone. I wasn't blown away by their moisturisers, but love their cleanser. Can't be arsed buying it since I had to find specialist shops online and fell out of the habit. Spot stickers are very good.

The white power (the original name, changed after engaged feedback from US customers) liquid works on pigmentation unevenness. I haven't tried it myself.
