COSRX Launches First-Ever Haircare Line with Patented Peptide-132 Technology
NEW YORK, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Known for its cult-favorite skincare solutions and minimalist, high-performance formulas, global derma k-beauty brand COSRX is expanding its expertise to a new frontier: haircare. The brand today announced the launch of its first-ever haircare line - the PEPTIDE-132 Haircare Collection, a three-step system designed to deliver professional-level results from the comfort of home. The collection is now available on Amazon and From Skin to Scalp: The Story Behind the Launch COSRX has long been trusted by skincare enthusiasts for its commitment to solving complex skin concerns with clinically effective yet low-irritation formulas. Today, as beauty routines evolve, more consumers are recognizing that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Responding to this shift and the growing "skinification of hair" trend - a movement that treats the scalp and hair with the same care, ingredients, and routines once reserved for skincare - COSRX applied its skincare philosophy to scalp and haircare. As the "Glass Skin" trend evolves into "Glass Hair," more consumers are seeking that same smooth, polished, and reflective finish—this time for their strands. Trending topics like Glass Hair, Korean Haircare, Hair Botox, and Hair Styling are gaining huge popularity on social media platforms, reflecting the demand for science-driven formulas that deliver visible transformation. COSRX's new line taps into this shift, offering a Hair Salon at Home experience powered by skincare-grade innovation. It's where skin expertise meets next-level haircare—rooted in performance, not promises. The result: a line that nourishes, protects, and restores from root to tip—bringing professional-grade care into the everyday routine. It's a collection that doesn't just mask damage but repairs it from within using cutting-edge science. Meet COSRX's Haircare Hero: PEPTIDE-132 Just as collagen supports skin, keratin is the essential protein that gives hair its strength, structure, and shine - and it weakens over time due to heat styling, coloring, UV exposure, and stress. To address this, COSRX's R&D team developed PEPTIDE-132 (Tripeptide-132 HCl), a patented tripeptide created to target and rebuild damaged keratin. Using advanced 3D laser scanning and molecular modeling, the team designed a molecule small enough to penetrate deep into the hair shaft and bind directly to weakened areas, reinforcing internal structure and smoothing the surface. Clinically tested and exclusive to COSRX, PEPTIDE-132 has been shown to reduce breakage, improve manageability, and restore bounce, softness, and shine - even after just one use. "We didn't want to create just another haircare line. We wanted to take what we know best - skin science - and apply it to the scalp and hair," said a COSRX spokesperson. "PEPTIDE-132 is the result of over two years of research and development, and it represents our commitment to creating truly functional, transformative products." Key Benefits at a Glance Deep Repair: Penetrates the hair shaft to restore damaged keratin bonds Stronger Strands: Helps reduce breakage and improve elasticity Shinier, Smoother Hair: Instantly enhances gloss and manageability Frizz & Split-End Control: Seals the cuticle to reduce visible damage Scalp-Safe Formulas: Dermatologist-tested, pH-balanced, and low-irritation Multifunctional Routine: Designed to work alone or as a 3-step system Suitable for All Hair Types: Lightweight yet deeply nourishing for straight, wavy, curly, and coily textures The Line-Up: Professional Results, Made Simple The collection includes a Shampoo, a Treatment, and an Oil Serum, each formulated with the brand's signature science-backed approach and gentle dermatological precision. Peptide-132 Ultra Perfect Hair Bonding ShampooGently removes buildup while delivering intensive bond repair. It purifies the scalp, calms irritation, and leaves hair soft, clean, and manageable. Peptide-132 Ultra Perfect Hair Bonding TreatmentA rich, creamy formula that absorbs instantly into damaged strands to replenish protein and moisture. It deeply rebuilds from within while smoothing the outer layer for long-lasting shine and strength. Peptide-132 Ultra Perfect Hair Bonding Oil SerumLightweight yet powerful, this serum locks in hydration, reduces frizz, and enhances shine without greasiness. It restores damaged ends and protects against environmental stressors. With the launch of its first-ever haircare line, COSRX continues its mission of making advanced, science-backed beauty accessible to everyone. From barrier care to bond repair, the brand's skincare legacy now extends from face to scalp - proving once again that less really can do more.

This niacinamide toner is gentle, pore-reducing and K-beauty's finest
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. If you're my clone and also a skincare enthusiast, you already know that when COSRX drops a product, the beauty world listens. One of the brand's hidden gems — the COSRX Niacinamide 2% + BHA 4% Blackhead Exfoliating Toner — is now on sale ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2025 (yes, that's on its way, taking place on July 8 to 11), and as someone who's tested hundreds, if not thousands, of beauty products over the years, I can confidently say: this one deserves your attention. Let's be honest: toners have a reputation for being the 'meh' step in skincare routines. After all, some people consider it the skip-me step, as your best cleanser tends to reign supreme. But this COSRX exfoliant flips the script. Advertisement Amazon It's formulated with 2% niacinamide, known for its sebum-regulating and brightening properties, and a potent 4% beta hydroxy acid (BHA)—a high enough concentration to unclog congested pores without over-stripping skin. The result is a daily-use exfoliating toner that leads to fewer blackheads when used consistently and clearer skin. After reviewing the lion's share of COSRX, this toner has that it-factor and is worth grabbing while it's nearly 30% off before Prime Day. It's one of the best Prime Day early deals the retailer is hosting right now. From the first use, I noticed how refined my skin felt. Not tight. Not overly exfoliated. Just balanced. That's the COSRX signature: high-performance actives that work in harmony, even for sensitive or acne-prone skin like mine. This isn't just another salicylic acid toner. COSRX has gone the extra mile with their ingredient list. The BHA here is salicylic acid derived from natural willow bark, which works to decongest pores and slough away dead skin cells with precision. Meanwhile, niacinamide does its multitasking magic: calming redness, refining texture and brightening dull spots. What really impressed me during testing is how well this formula works with my skin rather than against it. It's alcohol-free, fragrance-free and has a low pH, which makes it suitable for regular use on my sensitive skin. Trust me, I usually have to tread lightly with chemical exfoliants, but this one is so gentle, it *feels* like a moisturizer. Because it falls under the glass skin-producing product category of Korean skincare, it's one I regularly turn to for that dewy, well-hydrated look. Unlike some harsher BHA treatments I've tried in the past (and promptly shelved), this one keeps skin feeling balanced and fresh, not raw or sensitized. That makes it an ideal option for pretty much anyone. The bottom line With Amazon Prime Day just around the corner, this early deal on COSRX's Niacinamide + BHA Toner is worth jumping on. Whether you're battling blackheads, uneven tone or just looking for a gentle-yet-effective exfoliating step, this toner is a standout.

COSRX Snail Mucin skincare review: I tried 5 products from the K-beauty brand
GLASS skin is the Korean beauty trend that doesn't seem to be faltering any time soon, with one brand at the helm: COSRX. It's been praised all over social media for its super-hydrating properties, so I knew I had to review COSRX snail mucin to see the results for myself. COSRX Snail Mucin Skincare at Lookfantastic When I visited Seoul last year, I was struck by the fact that the brand's bestselling products champion one key ingredient: snail mucin. 'It's a nutrient-rich byproduct compatible with all skin types that can help improve a damaged skin barrier by offering deep hydration,' says Julia Marinkovich, the UK COSRX representative. 'This can help contribute to a plumper and more glowing complexion, and there's also research to support the claim that snail secretion filtrate can promote wound healing and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.' With this in mind, I decided to test the five most popular snail mucin products from the K-beauty brand, including the hero Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, to see if I could heal my dry and sensitive skin. So read on to find out what happened when I tested COSRX. Pros Intensely moisturising Non-irritating Repairs the skin's barrier Cons Not suitable for shellfish allergy Not vegan Sticky texture Overall Rating: 4/5 How I tested COSRX Snail Mucin Skincare I have combination skin that's on the drier side with an oily T-zone. My skin has also become sensitised over the years due to over-exfoliation and testing out hundreds of beauty products. I swapped my current skincare essentials with five COSRX products and tested them for over a month, every morning and night. As I didn't try out a cleanser or SPF from the brand, I used existing products in conjunction with the tested products. COSRX Snail Mucin Skincare review: Quickfire Q&A How much is COSRX? The cheapest item in the COSRX range is the £5.99 COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patches. The most expensive item is the COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule serum, which costs £33.99. Who's it best for? While suitable for all skin types, the range is particularly good for anyone with a damaged skin barrier who wants to restore their complexion. What we loved: I immediately felt a difference using a number of the products. My skin instantly felt hydrated and moisturised for longer thanks to innovative ingredients that really work. Affordability is another positive. What we didn't: Whilst the products work really well together, those who like to mix-and-match brands may find that thicker formulas don't sit as well on top of certain products in the range. COSRX Snail Mucin Skincare review: The Nitty Gritty Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence BUY HERE Spoiler alert: Snail 96 Power Essence is well worth the hype. While it's labelled as an essence, I think it's better to categorise this as a serum as its viscous texture is similar to Hyaluronic Acid serums, but is less watery in texture, which makes applying it much easier. The trick to getting the most hydration out of it is to apply it on damp skin, so after cleansing, I spritz a facial spray over my face and wait a few seconds before applying the essence. A little goes a long way; you only need one to two pumps to cover the entire face. It's got a super-high concentration of snail mucin, and I've noticed almost immediate effects since using this; my skin feels instantly hydrated and stays moisturised for longer throughout the day. Moreover, I'm impressed with how it's managed to soothe my skin's barrier and even take down some redness I have. Personally, I prefer using this over Hyaluronic Acid as it keeps my skin hydrated for longer, and the texture works for my dry skin. However, oilier skin types may find it too heavy, and I used less on my forehead than on my cheeks. It does take a bit of work to figure out how to layer it. While it worked perfectly with its snail cream and light moisturisers, it didn't absorb as well when I layered an E45 face cream over it, as it was too occlusive. But it's been over a month since I started using this essence, and it's become part of my daily routine, and when I finish this bottle, I'm immediately getting another one. Advanced Snail 92 All-in-One Cream COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All-in-One Cream, £30.99 from Lookfantastic BUY HERE Pros: Gives a glowy finish, hydrating, soothes dryness and redness, works under make-up Cons: Sticky texture, not moisturising enough for dry skin, messy application Rating: 3.5 / 5 If you want glass skin immediately, then the all-in-one snail cream will deliver just that. Similar to the essence, this cream is infused with a whopping 92% of snail mucin, and when you open the jar, it looks exactly like slime. I didn't mind the look of it too much, but I did find that it's a bit messy to use. It's super sticky to the touch, which makes it tricky to extract the right amount, so you'll want to start small and then apply more if needed. But it's amazing value for money, as only a small amount is needed to cover your entire face. Surprisingly, when I massaged it on, it didn't feel greasy at all and left my skin with a glossy sheen, almost filter-like, and I absolutely loved the look it gave. It also works well under make-up, but make sure you layer it with more cream-based products, as opposed to powder, to emphasise the glow. Despite the glowy look, I actually found that it wasn't moisturising enough to keep my dry skin hydrated for long periods, and I had to apply an emollient cream over the drier parts of my face. I've since moved this to my nighttime routine as it's slightly too fussy for me to use in the daytime, and I prefer using a richer cream to really lock in that moisture. mouth and eye area and press the remaining residue in with fingers. COSRX Master Pimple Patch BUY HERE Even though COSRX is known primarily for its snail mucin products, its pimple patches are one of its bestsellers. Having used these patches in the past, I was excited to test out a fresh pack of them as I loved them so much on my first go. Happily, these didn't disappoint. They were great for targeting spots and have a transparent look, so they look invisible on. They're also comfortable to wear, and I liked wearing the stickers to bed or when I would be working from home. They are a bit fiddly at first as you can only apply them onto dry skin, so it's best to wait until after your skincare products have been absorbed before putting them on. My partner has acne-prone skin and enjoys using the pimple patches as they help prevent dirt from touching the spot and allow the skin to properly heal. The patches were effective in reducing any redness and excess oil and definitely minimised the appearance of spots. Plus, you can get up to 90 in a pack, which is excellent value for money. Size: 36-90 pack Skin type: All How to Apply: Apply gently with the sticky side down. Leave on overnight. AHA / BHA Exfoliating Facial Treatment AHA / BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner, £21.99 from Lookfantastic BUY HERE Having over-exfoliated my skin in the past, I was a bit hesitant about using this COSRX treatment. The AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner is an exfoliator wth an ingredient list that includes 0.1% glycolic acid (AHA) and 0.1% Betatine Salicylate (BHA), but since it's got a low concentration of both acids, it's gentle to use even on sensitive skin. I was surprised to discover that it didn't irritate my skin and actually helped to clear my blackheads, particularly on my nose. Over time, it helped to slough away dead skin cells, leaving my skin more radiant, and when I layered the essence or an active ingredient on top of it, it didn't sting. The instructions state that you should spray the exfoliator on a cotton pad and then swipe the pad across the face. However, I found it easier to spray the product directly onto my face as the cotton pad wasted a lot of product, and I could target the exfoliator on areas of my face that needed it more, like my T-zone. While you could use it every day, I prefer to use it once or twice a week, as I don't suffer from active breakouts, so that's why it became my least-used product of the ones I tested. But if my skin breaks out, this will be the first product I'll be reaching for. Retinol 0.5% Oil COSRX Retinol 0.5 Oil, £29.99 BUY HERE I love using the COSRX retinol in my skincare routine as its anti-inflammatory properties really benefit my skin. In the Cosrx product, there is quite a low concentration of retinol, making it best for beginners as opposed to regular retinol users or those looking for a low dosage, but I love its formula. More similar to an oil, it feels nourishing thanks to the blend of Vitamin E and Squalane, and it didn't dry my skin out. It also pairs well when layered over the essence and under both thicker and lighter moisturisers. It has an earthy scent which isn't too pleasant, but it does dissipate. It's too early to truly tell the difference, as you need at least three to six months to see whether it's made a real impact, but I've had fewer blemishes and redness since using it without having to go through purging. Oiler skin types may prefer a retinol cream, but I now use this every evening as I love how soothing it feels. After using COSRX for over a month, I'm a snail mucin convert. I've really noticed that both the essence and the cream helped to soothe a lot of redness that I experience from dry weather and also keep my skin hydrated. Not to mention, it creates a glass-skin-like effect on your face that's pretty perfect for glowy skin lovers. While it's not vegan, COSRX is cruelty-free, and a good option if you've been let down or have suffered from sensitivities to Hyaluronic Acid. Most of the products I tried from COSRX are geared towards drier skin, but I believe every skin type can benefit from them. Particular highlights for me were the Advanced Snail Mucin Essence and the retinol; those two are going to become staples in my skincare routine. What is snail mucin and is it good for the skin? It might sound like something out of a horror film, but snail mucin (aka snail slime) is the gooey stuff snails naturally secrete to protect themselves. In skincare, it's filtered, purified, and packed into serums and creams thanks to its barrier-boosting and glow-enhancing properties. Whether you're dry, oily or somewhere in between, snail mucin can boost moisture, repair damage and leave your skin looking bouncier than ever before. It's gentle too, so even sensitive types can get in on the action. What are the benefits of snail mucin? Snail mucin is rich in hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, peptides and antioxidants, meaning it helps plump the skin, fade acne scars, smooth texture and calm inflammation. Hydration, healing, glow: it does the lot. Think of it as your skin's new overachieving best friend. It is best to apply snail mucin after cleansing and toning, but before your heavier creams or oils. Pat a few drops into damp skin, let it soak in, then carry on with your routine. Use morning or night, or both if you're feeling fancy. Is snail mucin good for acne? Snail mucin is GREAT for acne. It helps calm redness, fade leftover marks and keep your moisture barrier strong (which is key when dealing with breakouts). It won't clear your spots overnight, but it's a solid add-on in your anti-acne arsenal. Is Cosrx cruelty-free? Yes! Despite the snail connection, Cosrx does not test on animals, and the mucin is collected from happy, stress-free snails in a lab, with no squishing involved. Where can I buy COSRX in the UK? Originally from South Korea, COSRX is now available globally, with plenty of beauty retailers stocking it in the UK. Here's where you can shop the K-beauty brand.
