COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser 150ml

The COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is a cult-favorite foam cleanser specifically formulated for acne-prone, oily, and congested skin. It balances targeted acne-fighting power with soothing botanical ingredients to purify the pores without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Key Benefits

1. Deep Pore Cleansing & Exfoliation

• Unclogs Pores: Formulated with Salicylic Acid (a Beta Hydroxy Acid or BHA), it is oil-soluble, meaning it can penetrate deep inside pore walls to dissolve trapped sebum, dead skin cells, and daily debris.
• Prevents Breakouts: By regularly clearing out acne-causing impurities, it significantly reduces the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and active pimples.

2. Sebum Regulation

• Controls Excess Shine: It effectively removes excess oil upon washing and helps regulate sebum production throughout the day, leaving the skin with a fresh, clean, non-greasy feel.

3. Skin Smoothing & Texture Refinement

• Gentle Resurfacing: The continuous chemical exfoliation helps lift away flaky, dead skin cells on the surface. Over time, this smooths out rough skin texture and promotes a more even, radiant complexion.

4. Soothing & Non-Stripping Formula

• Reduces Redness: Infused with botanical extracts, it helps calm inflammation and soothe the redness associated with active acne breakouts.
• Maintains Moisture: Unlike many harsh anti-acne face washes that leave the skin feeling tight, squeaky clean, or parched, this formula produces a creamy lather that cushions the skin during cleansing.

🧪 Key Active Ingredients

• 0.5% Salicylic Acid (BHA): The star exfoliating active that targets acne, dissolves sebum, and refines pore structure at a concentration that is effective yet safe for frequent use.
• Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water: A natural source of salicylic acid that provides additional gentle exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil: A powerful natural antibacterial and antiseptic agent that fights acne-causing bacteria, accelerates healing, and gives the cleanser its signature refreshing scent.

🎯 Best Suited For & Usage Tips

• Skin Types: Ideal for Oily, Combination, and Acne-Prone skin.
• For Sensitive or Dry Skin: While it is named a "Daily" cleanser, those with dry, dehydrated, or highly sensitive skin may find daily use too drying. For these skin types, it is best used 2–3 times a week as a clarifying treatment wash.
• How to Use: Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto wet hands and rub together to create a rich, creamy foam. Massage gently onto the face, focusing on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) or areas prone to breakouts. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
