Now, don’t be taken aback. Korean products often have different words/terms for products that you might actually be familiar...

Coxir is a new K-Beauty brand that I have been trying out. Initially, I thought this brand, with its packaging and name, was identical to COSRX, famous for their simple skincare products (dupe much?).The packaging was very minimalistic, but Coxir carried a lot of different product lines for different skin concerns, some that COSRX doesn’t carry.
