The COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is a mild yet effective foaming face wash designed to cleanse the skin while targeting acne, blackheads, and excess sebum. Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types, this cleanser offers a deep cleanse without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making it gentle enough for daily use.



How It Works:

This cleanser harnesses the power of salicylic acid (BHA) to exfoliate the inside walls of pores, removing impurities and helping to prevent future breakouts. As a beta hydroxy acid, salicylic acid is oil-soluble, meaning it penetrates deeply into the pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells.



The formula also includes tea tree oil, which has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm irritated skin and reduce acne-causing bacteria.



Despite its powerful ingredients, the cleanser has a creamy, rich foam that soothes the skin, making it suitable for everyday use without over-drying or irritating sensitive areas.



Key Ingredients:

Salicylic Acid (0.5%) – A BHA that exfoliates, unclogs pores, and helps reduce acne.



Tea Tree Leaf Oil – Known for its antimicrobial properties, it helps calm inflammation and fight acne-causing bacteria.



Willow Bark Water (Salix Alba) – A natural source of salicylates that gently exfoliates and soothes the skin.
