☀️ COSRX the NY serum – ✨ First Impressions & Honest Review
I was lucky enough to receive the full PR package from COSRX, and I’ve been testing everything out for the past few months. Here’s my honest first impression.
• Alpha Arbutin Serum
This serum has become my go-to for brightening. The formula is lightweight, hydrating, and absorbs quickly. It helps even out my skin tone without any irritation, and the glow it gives is soft and natural and not shiny, just healthy. Perfect for dull and tired skin.
• Vitamin E Invisible Sunscreen
One word: effortless. This sunscreen melts into the skin like a moisturizer, with zero white cast and a smooth, silky finish. I love how breathable it feels, even on warmer days. It works perfectly under makeup and gives me a subtle glow without any greasiness.
PS: it could be toooooo dewy for oily skin.
• Peptide Collagen Eye Patch
These eye patches feel incredibly soothing, especially when I keep them in the fridge. They’re infused with peptides and collagen, and help de-puff and hydrate my under eyes when I need a little extra care. I use them in the morning before makeup or at night as a calming step.
Bonus: they actually stay in place.
• 6 Peptide Booster Serum Toner
This one surprised me the most. It’s technically a toner, but feels like a serum … rich, yet lightweight. It hydrates deeply and preps my skin beautifully for everything that comes after. The peptides help with elasticity and softness, and I’ve noticed my skin feeling more balanced overall.
Final Thoughts
COSRX really nailed the balance between gentle and effective. Every product feels thoughtful, skin-friendly, and easy to use, especially if you’re someone who loves glow!!
