Top 5 COSRX Products for Troubled Skin

Finding the right products that would not break you out and irritate your skin is a pain in the neck as much as it is on your wallet. The frustration you might be feeling is understandable but don’t let it get the best of you. Acne is the most common skin problem anyone can have and there are various causes you have to take note of. But first, we need to know what acne really is.

What is acne?

Most people use acne and pimples interchangeably but they’re not the same. Acne is a skin disease in which the skin’s hair follicles are clogged by sebum and/or dead skin cells. Some of its symptoms are pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and small bumps.

What causes acne?

There are many causes whereas some of them are even out of your control which makes it more frustrating.

●      Hormonal changes – why almost everyone gets acne at puberty. ●      Genes – studies have shown that one is more likely to get severe acne if their parents had it too. ●      Excessive oil production

●      Dry skin – triggering the glands to produce more oil which may clog the pores ●      Medications such as birth control pills. ●      Bacteria – this worsens and infects the pimple that prolongs healing.

With the continuous improvement within the beauty industry, there are hardly any skin issues you cannot combat as the market offers a lot of effective products that vary according to skin types and issues.

Beauty trends always come and go but Korean skin care is definitely not going anywhere. Most K-beauty brands have already established a good reputation in the market. As some enthusiasts may say, COSRX (Cos for cosmetics, Rx for prescription) is considered a cult favorite as they offer straightforward products made with simple yet powerful formulation for people with skin issues.
