COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser
Editor's Note
Description
Gently clear away breakouts and regain a smooth complexion with the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser. Specifically engineered for trouble-prone faces, this advanced acne-clearing facial wash features a targeted double combination of BHA and botanical purifying ingredients. It harnesses the power of 0.5% Salicylic Acid alongside Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water to break down trapped dead skin cells, clear out sebum congestion inside the pores, and target stubborn whiteheads and blackheads before they trigger active breakouts.
Unlike aggressive anti-acne cleansers that leave the skin feeling tight, dry, and raw, this daily foaming cleanser focuses on soothing relief. It is infused with natural Tea Tree Leaf Oil, which works dynamically to lower inflammation, calm redness, and speed up the healing process of active acne scars. The creamy formula foams up rapidly to draw out deep-seated impurities while preserving your essential moisture barrier, leaving your skin looking fresh, clear, and perfectly balanced.
Skin Type Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types.
Concerns Solved Acne breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads, excess sebum production (greasiness), clogged pores, post-acne marks, and rough skin texture.
Texture: A dense, smooth cream that transforms quickly into a rich, cushiony, and luxurious foam lather when mixed with warm water, rinsing away completely clean without a tight or dry skin feel.
Usage Time Suitable for daily use. Can be safely integrated into both your morning (AM) and evening (PM) cleansing routines.
Compatible Routines Acts as an ideal second-step cleanser in a double-cleansing routine following a lightweight cleansing oil. Pair with a soothing centella toner and a non-comedogenic oil-free moisturizer to maximize blemish-control results.
