COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
☀️ COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
This cleanser is one of COSRX's most famous products, designed specifically to be the perfect gentle and balancing step in your morning routine, but it works equally well at night.
Product Overview & Key Features
-
Low pH Formula: The core feature is its mildly acidic low pH (around 5.0-6.0). This pH mimics the natural acidity of healthy skin, ensuring that the cleanser removes oil and impurities without stripping the skin's protective barrier, leaving it comfortable and not tight.
-
Gentle but Effective: It uses a gentle cleansing system that effectively removes dead skin cells and excess sebum accumulated overnight. It is also a perfect second step in the evening after an oil cleanser.
-
Tea Tree Oil: It contains Tea Tree Leaf Oil, a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient, which helps to manage oiliness and prevent breakouts.
-
Soft, Foaming Gel: It has a clear, refreshing gel consistency that lathers lightly, offering a pleasant and simple cleansing experience.
-
Morning Necessity: It's ideal for use in the morning when you need a light cleanse without aggressively stripping your skin before applying your actives and SPF.

🛡️ The Ultimate K-Beauty Weekly Routine
