# COSRX vs Kiehl's

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/compare/cosrx-vs-kiehl-s

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

COSRX and Kiehl's are two respected skincare brands offering thoughtfully formulated [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, masks, toners, and eye products. The Korean brand, founded in 2013 and owned by Amorepacific Group, uses [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/glycerin), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/ingredients/niacinamide) to suit acne-prone skin and oily acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the American label, founded in 1851 and owned by L'Orâeal S.A., incorporates glycerin and squalane to suit skin with dark spots and combination skin best. They differ through their regional roots and distinct key ingredients that address specific blemishes, dark spots, and maturity.

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