NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global derma skincare brand COSRX participated in the 78th Korean Dermatological Association (KDA) Autumn Meeting, held October 17–18 at The Westin Seoul Parnas in Seoul, South Korea. Through a Peptide-focused product showcase and interactive booth experience, COSRX highlighted its Friendly Derma philosophy and commitment to advancing science-driven skincare through dermatological collaboration and continued formulation innovation.

Bringing Friendly Derma to the KDA Community

Under the booth theme "Friendly Derma for All: Proven Worldwide, Trusted by Derma," COSRX highlighted its three-pillar approach to skincare: dermatological expertise, scientific research and consumer feedback. By bringing these perspectives together, the brand aims to develop targeted skincare solutions that address diverse skin concerns while making skincare more accessible and easier to incorporate into everyday routines. This commitment has helped COSRX earn global recognition among consumers and healthcare professionals alike, expanding its presence to 146 countries worldwide.

Turning Dermatology Insights into Opportunities for Innovation

COSRX's participation in the 78th KDA Autumn Meeting reinforced the brand's skincare philosophy. Through the event, COSRX engaged with dermatologists and industry professionals to gather perspectives on skincare interests and the evolving needs of patients and consumers through questionnaires and direct conversations. The insights gathered will be compiled and used to inform the brand's ongoing ingredient and formulation research, helping guide future product development and refinements to its existing portfolio. The event also provided an opportunity for dermatologists to sample COSRX's Blue Peptide line and share their feedback.

Exploring Peptide Innovation Through a Dermocosmetic Lens

COSRX's featured lineup reinforced its position as a leader in Peptide innovation.

• The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum is a lightweight formula that features six peptides to deliver hydration while helping improve the appearance of skin texture, radiance, visible pores and elasticity without a heavy feel. It is recommended to be used as a first step serum to prep the skin and boost absorption of the skincare that follows.
• The Blue Peptide Bakuchiol Plump Glow Serum combines Copper Peptide and Bakuchiol to simultaneously plump and lift the skin. The formula also helps improve the appearance of fine lines, visible pores and uneven texture.
• The Blue Peptide Bakuchiol Plump Bounce Cream combines Copper Peptide and Bakuchiol to replenish moisture and support the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity. Designed to complement the matching serum, it helps improve the look of skin texture and resilience while supporting a healthier skin barrier.

COSRX also showcased products from its The RX line, which focuses on active ingredients to provide targeted skincare solutions for a wide range of skin concerns, highlighting the brand's expertise in ingredient-driven skincare. More on these products can be found on the brand's official website.
