COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser 150ml is a lightweight, foamy cleanser for oily, acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid (BHA) and tea tree oil gently exfoliate, cleanse, and soothe troubled skin, making it a popular choice for blemishes and excess oil.
Key Ingredients and their Benefits
Salicylic Acid (0.5%): Chemical exfoliant beta hydroxy acid (BHA) penetrates pores to dissolve dead skin cells, debris, and sebum. Clearer skin is achieved by preventing breakouts, blackheads, and whiteheads.
Tea Tree Oil (0.1%): Tea tree oil's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities soothe skin, reduce redness, and battle acne-causing germs.
What makes it different?
It is gentle enough for daily use, unlike harsh acne cleansers that peel and irritate skin. Its low pH (about 6) helps preserve the skin's natural barrier and prevent dryness. It also doesn't include sulfates, parabens, or alcohol, making it perfect for sensitive skin.
When is it helpful?
This cleanser benefits those with the following:
- Oily skin: The skin feels rejuvenated and shine-free when salicylic acid controls sebum production.
- Acne-prone skin: Tea tree oil and BHA fight outbreaks and prevent them.
- Clogged pores: Salicylic acid exfoliates pores to reduce their appearance.
- Rough texture: When dead skin cells are removed, this cleanser smooths and refines skin.
Best time to use
This cleaner can be used morning and night. However, monitor your skin and modify the frequency as needed. BHA can dry, therefore moisturizer is essential.
Additional advice
- Try a patch test before applying it to your face.
- Avoid eye contact.
- Reduce or stop use if dryness or irritation occurs.
- BHA might make skin more sun-sensitive, so use sunscreen.
