# COSRX vs Garnier

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/es/compare/cosrx-vs-garnier

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

COSRX and Garnier are accessible skincare brands that offer thoughtfully formulated [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/serum), cleansers, and masks. The Korean line relies on [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/glycerin), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/niacinamide) to suit sensitive and acne-prone skin, while the French label harnesses glycerin and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/ingredients/salicylic-acid) for oily and acne-prone complexions. Ultimately, both offer targeted solutions for diverse needs, differing in their foundational origins and specific active ingredients.

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

Garnier is a French skincare brand founded in 1904 and owned by L'Oréal since 1965.
