COSRX is a Korean brand that takes its name from cosmetics + rx. They've worked on creating effective, affordable, and skin-friendly products. Their The 6 Peptide Skin Booster is designed to enhance skin elasticity and refine skin texture while providing pore care.

To quickly note, I received this for free from Influenster and COSRX in exchange for my honest review.
The booster contains 150 ml (5.07 oz) and it's fragrance-free.
It has a pretty viscous, light texture.
It's very hydrating and does a good job of refreshing the skin.
It leaves skin deeply hydrated with a bit of a tacky finish.
Recommended use is after washing your face. Take an adequate amount of this product in the first step of your skincare routine and gently spread it on your face. Pat it softly to aid absorption, and apply multiple layers to deliver abundant efficacy to the skin. After using it, I found this to be very moisturizing, very hydrating, and the texture is really nice. It's fragrance-free and free of irritants. It smooths over the skin very easily and absorbs well. It's really good for sensitive skin as it's very gentle and I had no irritation. It felt very refreshing, and it layers well under other products and aids in better absorption for other products after it. I'd recommend this for aging/mature skin and for people with dry/sensitive skin.
What I like: this is very gentle, and it's very moisturizing. I like the texture, and I think it comes with a very generous amount for what it is. It's sensitive skin-friendly and free of irritants and fragrance. What I don't like: honestly, nothing.
