# COSRX vs Shiseido

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/de/compare/cosrx-vs-shiseido

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

COSRX and Shiseido are a Korean skincare brand founded in 2013 and a Japanese skincare brand founded in 1872, respectively. COSRX is dearly loved for its expertly formulated [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, masks, and more, which thoughtfully incorporate [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/glycerin), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/ingredients/niacinamide) to suit acne-prone skin and oily skin best, while the brand is beloved for its thoughtful array of moisturizers, cleansers, sunscreens, serums, and more formulated with key ingredients like glycerin to suit sensitive skin and mature skin best. Both offer standout choices for particular concerns, but they differ in their foundational origins, specific ingredient combinations, and targeted skin type benefits.

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