Anyone familiar with COSRX?

DD wants this. She's 15YO and I am not sure it's suitable for young skin. Anyone know? Also, this one from amazon is £10 cheaper than all other suppliers. It's fake, right?

I used that for a while. It’s nice to wear under moisturiser and doesn’t break me out.
it’sa good brand.
I’m not sure if that’s a fake one or not though

Yes, I'm familiar with the brand and use that product, it's great. Check where the seller is sending it from when it's significantly cheaper, it's a South Korean brand and when it's sent from there it tends to be much cheaper but shipping is usually between 2-3 weeks. The product itself, and the brand, is absolutely fine for teenage skin, it's very gentle (most South Korean brands tend to be). It's a bit of a myth anyhow that teenagers have extremely delicate skin, it's the opposite really, quite resilient.

My only concern would be if she actually needs this product or that she's just been swayed by TikTok or similar, it's mostly a hydration boost, not something most teenagers struggle with. It can also help with soothing inflammation and healing so if she's consistently dealing with the aftermath of breakouts and angry skin I can see use for it in a teenager.

I use the brand a lot (and occasionally buy it from Amazon through that seller at about that price). It’s 100% suitable for young skin and a really nice, gentle product. It doesn’t contain any stripping ingredients (the opposite really) or any exfoliating acids, I wouldn’t have any issue buying it for or recommending it to a teenager.

I have used this brand but not that particular product. I bought it as it was cheaper than Paula's choice and actually prefer it.

I bought it for teen DD - the facial wash and some other thing and she really rates it.

Started buying it a couple of years ago and no issues.

I’ve used it, it did nothing for me.

I have used cosrx for years, but buy from Korea. Sellers on eBay but with Korean addresses. I'd be wary the Amazon stuff was fake.

Very good products - I think it would be fine for her skin

I'm familiar with the brand and have used it, I can't see why it wouldn't be suitable for teenager skin as it's essentially a hydrating toner with snail mucin essence (literally snails, if she is fine with that). Their blemish stickers are very good if she suffers with spots or acne.

I'd be very cautious where you buy from as there are so many fakes of popular and trending Korean skincare products online, and Amazon seems to be pretty hit and miss when you go through the reviews. Fine if it's authentic, if not then really there's no way to know what is going on your face.
