Our history
“Quality doesn't have to be an expensive luxury”
Good food. Good atmosphere. Good conversations. And right in the middle of it, good ideas arise.
The idea for Komiko
We're just two guys who got into a conversation about skincare routines over dinner one night. We wondered why skincare is still surrounded by prejudice and gender bias when everyone has skin that deserves care. This conversation was a turning point for us. As students at SU, we knew the feeling that quality products often seem like an expensive luxury. It made us ask ourselves: Why can't quality skincare be as accessible and affordable as shampoo or toothpaste?
But the story didn't actually begin that night at the restaurant. One of us had been struggling with acne and uneven skin for years, and it was affecting my self-confidence. Every morning, when I looked in the mirror, I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. Desperation led to searching the internet for countless solutions, and as a boy, it seemed like overkill. to go to the dermatologist, even though I had a hard time believing in miracle products from the commercials . So when I came across Korean skincare, especially the COSRX products, I was skeptical. Why would something that had never been a part of my routine before suddenly work? But I was desperate enough to try.
“ Why didn’t I start this sooner ?”
And it actually started to help. Not from day one, but gradually. Suddenly, looking at myself in the mirror in the morning was no longer a struggle. I started to want to explore more products and get more involved in my routine. Gradually, it became a completely natural part of everyday life – as simple as brushing my teeth. Our friends still tease us a little about knowing the difference between essence and serum. They are used to their sister or girlfriend knowing that kind of thing.
With this thought, the conversation that evening at the restaurant blossomed, and that was the start of Komiko.
Why Korean skincare?
Korean skincare, better known as K-Beauty, is more than just skincare – it’s a philosophy of caring for your skin with respect and consideration. K-beauty is based on centuries of knowledge and combines natural ingredients like green tea, ginseng and rice extract with innovative technology. They work in harmony with your skin through multi-stage routines, where each product has a specific purpose. For us, it’s not just about appearance, it’s about well-being. A good skincare routine is an investment in yourself – and we want to make it easy for you to find the best products for your skin.
Our ambition
Skincare is for everyone. Regardless of gender, age or experience, we want to make K-Beauty accessible and uncomplicated – without costing a fortune.
We believe that quality skincare should not be a luxury, but a necessity that is accessible to everyone.
That's why we offer a carefully selected range of the most popular and effective Korean products - without imposing unnecessary costs on our customers. We actively work to keep costs down by, for example, choosing minimal and efficient packaging for our packages. Skincare should be for everyone - as natural as using toothpaste or shampoo.
Welcome to Komiko – where skincare is for everyone and where the prices are the best.
