Product details

COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser 150ml is a Korean foaming face wash for excess oil, congested pores and rough-feeling texture. Its 0.5% salicylic acid adds BHA exfoliation while the cleanser lifts away impurities and daily buildup.

The creamy white texture lathers into a rich foam and rinses away for a fresh, smoother feel. Glycerin helps maintain moisture during cleansing. The formula contains fragrance and tea tree oil, so very dry or fragrance-sensitive skin may prefer a milder cleanser.

Lather a small amount on wet hands, gently cleanse damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Start once daily or less often as needed, then follow with moisturizer. At night, use after an oil or balm cleanser when needed; finish your morning routine with SPF 30 or higher.

Follow your cleanse with hydration

After rinsing, add a light hydrating layer and moisturizer. Finish your morning routine with sunscreen.

Formula, ingredients & use

Why you’ll love it

  • Rich foam helps wash away excess oil, impurities and daily buildup.
  • 0.5% salicylic acid provides BHA exfoliation to help lift dead skin cells and smooth the feel of rough texture.
  • The creamy formula lathers with water and spreads easily without abrasive scrub particles.
  • Glycerin helps maintain moisture during cleansing for a more comfortable rinse.
  • A rinse-off format fits a simple morning cleanse or the water-based step of an evening double cleanse.

Best for

Best for: Excess oil, congested pores, daily buildup, rough-feeling texture and blemish-prone skin.

Skin type fit: Best suited to oily and combination skin that tolerates a foaming, scented cleanser. Very dry, reactive or fragrance-sensitive skin may prefer a milder, fragrance-free option. Patch test first and adjust frequency if skin feels tight or dry.

What to expect

Format: One 150ml / 5.07 fl oz squeeze tube with a flip cap.
Texture: A creamy white cleanser that turns into a rich foam when mixed with water.
Finish: Fresh, clean and smoother-feeling skin; reduce frequency if skin feels tight or dry.
Scent: Contains added fragrance and tea tree leaf oil. It is not fragrance-free.
Routine step: A water-based cleanser before toner, essence and moisturizer. Use after an oil or balm cleanser at night when needed.

How to use

  1. Wet your hands and face with lukewarm water. Work a small amount of cleanser into a foam between your palms.
  2. Gently massage the foam over your face, avoiding the eye area and lips. Do not scrub or leave it on as a mask.
  3. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Follow with a hydrating toner or essence if desired, then moisturizer.
  4. Start once daily or less often as needed, adjusting to your skin’s comfort. If cleansing in the morning, finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Important safety notes

  • Patch test before first use and introduce one new exfoliating product at a time.
  • For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.
  • Do not use on wounded or irritated skin. Reduce frequency if skin feels dry or tight, and stop use if irritation occurs. Seek professional advice if symptoms persist.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
