Cosrx Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser

Cosrx Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is a foaming facial cleanser formulated with salicylic acid and botanical ingredients. Designed for oily and acne-prone skin, it helps deeply cleanse the skin by removing impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells without stripping moisture. The cleanser also works to treat and prevent acne while gently exfoliating the skin to reveal a smoother, clearer complexion.

Key Ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid (0.5%): A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates into the pores to exfoliate, reduce acne, and prevent future breakouts.
• Tea Tree Leaf Oil: Known for its antibacterial properties, helping to soothe inflamed skin and reduce redness.
• Willow Bark Water: A natural source of salicylic acid, providing gentle exfoliation.

Benefits:

1. Deep Cleansing: Removes dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin.
2. Exfoliation: Helps remove dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores and blackheads.
3. Acne Treatment: Targets and helps reduce breakouts by clearing the pores of acne-causing bacteria.
4. Prevents Future Breakouts: Regular use of the cleanser helps prevent future acne.
5. Non-Drying Formula: Although effective, the formula is gentle and doesn’t strip the skin of its natural moisture.

How to Use:

1. Step 1: Wet your face with lukewarm water.
2. Step 2: Squeeze a small amount of the cleanser into your hands and create a lather by rubbing your hands together.
3. Step 3: Gently massage the foam onto your face, avoiding the eye area. Concentrate on areas with excess oil or breakouts.
4. Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
5. Step 5: Follow up with your regular skincare routine, such as toners, serums, and moisturizers.

Tips:

• Use 1-2 times daily: Depending on how your skin reacts, start with once a day and increase to twice a day if needed.
• Moisturize after cleansing: Since salicylic acid can sometimes be drying, it’s important to follow up with a hydrating moisturizer, especially if you have sensitive or combination skin.
• Sunscreen is essential: Salicylic acid may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, so make sure to apply sunscreen during the day.
• Avoid using with other harsh exfoliants: Be cautious when combining with other exfoliants like glycolic acid or retinol to avoid over-exfoliating the skin.

This cleanser is particularly well-suited for those with oily, acne-prone skin, but it’s gentle enough for regular use by those with other skin types looking for a deep-cleaning, acne-fighting solution.
