There's a new COSRX Squad in town!!
We are so happy to present no less than 3 new products from COSRX. These products are active and work effectively with various skin problems such as acne, pigmentation and other irregularities.
First up we have The Alpha-arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum .
This is a serum formulated with 2% Alpha-Arbutin. The serum helps prevent the appearance of pigmentation but also works on existing ones.
Alpha-arbutin (Hydroquinone β-D-glucopyranoside) is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in several plant species. Arbutin's primary origin is from the bearberry bush, which is related to heather. The ingredient is also found in other plant species such as cranberries, blueberries, pears and wheat. Alpha-arbutin inhibits the enzymes of the pigment-stimulating cells and can thus help prevent the formation of melanin and thus reduce and prevent pigmentation.
This serum is suitable for those who want to work primarily on uneven skin tone and signs of aging!

Arbutin - An antioxidant hero – GLOWiD
Tip! Use this in combination with The 6 Peptide Skin Booster for increased effect!
Then we have The AHA BHA PHA LHA 35 Peel
This is ideal for experienced users who are familiar with acids and more powerful treatments/products. As the name suggests , it combines AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid), BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) and LHA (Lipo Hydroxy Acid) to provide a thorough and effective exfoliation and remove dead skin cells.
It contains 35% highly concentrated multi-acids that immediately start working on the skin for an effective treatment. This pro-formula smoothes the skin texture and works on sebum production.
The different acids and how they work!
This is a multi-effective product with 'Multi-acids'.
-AHA 27.98% Removes dead skin cells and improves skin texture
-BHA 2% Removes dead skin cells and has a sebum-regulating effect
-PHA 5% Removes dead skin cells and has moisture-binding properties
-LHA 0.02% Removes dead skin cells and, like BHA, has more sebum-regulating properties
The product also contains Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) , which is an antioxidant that also contributes to the product's red hue.
-Provitamin B5 soothes and protects the skin barrier.
-Hyaluronic Acid + Allantoin helps moisturize & soothe the skin.

Things to consider when using:
Use this once a week, in the evening. Apply to clean, dry skin, avoiding the area around the eyes and lips. Leave on for a maximum of 10 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water. It is important to adjust the time to your own skin's needs, it is better to start shorter and see how the skin responds.
We do not recommend using other active products or acids at the same time and completely avoid using on sensitive and exposed skin.
As always, it is important to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin!
Finally, we have The AHA 2 BHA 2 Blemish Treatment Serum .
We have been looking forward to this for a long time and it feels extra fun to launch it as it is a completely new product for us!
This is a highly concentrated serum with 2% AHA and 2% BHA, which is applied using small cotton balls.
So you start by pouring the serum over the balls in the jar and then you apply them to the area you want to work on. AHA acid works on the skin's structure while BHA works on the skin's sebum production.
This innovative product is recommended for those looking for an effective spot treatment for acne-prone skin.
To think about use!
Before first use, start by pouring the serum over the cotton balls in the jar. Pour out the entire contents and only do this before first use.
Then, using the included tweezers, apply a cotton ball directly to the affected area of your face after cleansing. Note: Apply to dry skin! Press the cotton ball against your skin for a moment before removing it. After use, close the cap tightly.
We recommend using these active products only in the evening and don't forget the sunscreen during the day!
Tip! These are of course also great to apply to the body if you have a pimple on your back, arms or other parts of the body.
We hope you are as excited as we are about these launches and we look forward to hearing what you think!
