Description
Benefits
- Deep Cleansing: Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores, effectively dissolving excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. This helps to unclog pores and prevent acne breakouts.
- Exfoliation: As a chemical exfoliant, salicylic acid gently removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, promoting cell turnover. This can result in smoother, brighter skin and can help fade post-acne marks over time.
- Acne Treatment: Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness and swelling associated with acne. It also has antibacterial properties that can help prevent acne-causing bacteria from proliferating on the skin.
- Oil Control: By effectively removing excess oil from the skin, salicylic acid helps to mattify the complexion and control oil production throughout the day, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with oily or combination skin.
- Gentle Formula: Despite its powerful exfoliating properties, COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is formulated to be gentle enough for daily use, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin who may not be able to tolerate stronger chemical exfoliants.
Overall, the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser can help to improve the clarity, texture, and overall health of the skin, particularly for those prone to acne and excess oil production.
How to use
- Wet Your Face: Splash your face with lukewarm water to dampen the skin. This helps to prepare your skin for cleansing and allows the cleanser to lather effectively.
- Dispense Cleanser: Squeeze a small amount of the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser onto your fingertips. A pea-sized amount should be sufficient for most people, but you can adjust according to your preference and the size of your face.
- Massage onto Skin: Gently massage the cleanser onto your damp skin using circular motions. Focus on areas where you tend to experience breakouts or have excess oil, but be sure to cover the entire face.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After massaging the cleanser onto your skin for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Be sure to remove all traces of the cleanser to prevent any residue from remaining on your skin.
- Pat Dry: After rinsing, gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing your skin, as this can cause irritation, especially if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin.
- Follow with Skincare Routine: Once your face is dry, continue with the rest of your skincare routine, such as applying toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (if it’s daytime). Salicylic acid cleansers are often used in the morning and/or evening, depending on your skincare needs and preferences.
- Frequency: Since this is a gentle cleanser, it can typically be used daily. However, if you experience any irritation or dryness, consider reducing the frequency of use to every other day or a few times per week.
Remember to always patch-test new products, especially if you have sensitive skin, to ensure they are suitable for you. If you’re introducing a salicylic acid cleanser into your routine for the first time, start by using it every other day to gauge how your skin responds.
