# COSRX vs Neutrogena

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/cosrx-vs-neutrogena

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Australia.

COSRX and Neutrogena are trusted skincare brands that offer thoughtful arrays of moisturizers, cleansers, and [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) formulated with key ingredients like [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid) and [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/glycerin). The Korean brand suits oily skin and sensitive skin best through formulations that balance moisture, while the American brand suits sensitive skin and mature skin best because of its gentle components. Both lines differ in their targeted standout products, such as acne-prone treatments or sun protection, designed to increase hydration and reduce skin aging.

COSRX is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2013 and owned by Amorepacific Group since 2024.
