COSRX is expanding global beauty e-commerce by opening its official online store to consumers in more than 200 countries and regions. Previously focused primarily on the U.S. and Canada, COSRX.com now provides international shoppers with direct access to products including the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream and selected RX formulas. The expansion also gives shoppers access to brand-exclusive promotions, giveaways and events through a headquarters-operated platform.
For COSRX, expanding its direct-to-consumer channel creates a closer relationship with international customers while complementing its existing authorized retail network. Direct sales can provide greater control over product presentation, promotions and the customer experience while reassuring shoppers that products are authentic. Rather than establishing separate online stores market by market, COSRX can use one global platform to serve existing demand, gather customer insights and support continued international growth.
