# COSRX vs Medik8

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/it/compare/cosrx-vs-medik8

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

COSRX and Medik8 are established skincare brands offering distinct approaches to everyday wellness. The Korean line, founded in 2013, features thoughtful [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/serum), moisturizers, cleansers, and masks harnessing [hyaluronic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/hyaluronic-acid), [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/glycerin), and [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/ingredients/niacinamide) to suit acne-prone and oily acne-prone skin best. Meanwhile, the British brand, founded in 2009, builds its serums, moisturizers, eye products, and toners around hyaluronic acid to fit dry and sensitive skin best. While both utilize proven ingredients, they differ significantly in their regional origins, foundational ownership, and specific formulation strengths for targeted complexions.

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