COSRX – AC Collection Calming Foam Cleanser

Description

Formulated to clear breakouts while respecting a vulnerable skin barrier, this smart daily cleanser features an optimized concentration of salicylic acid (BHA). This oil-soluble chemical exfoliant works deep inside the pore walls to dissolve hardened sebum plugs, sweep away dead skin cells, and target stubborn blackheads. By resetting the skin’s natural oil production, it systematically smooths out rough skin texture and addresses the root causes of recurring blemishes without relying on aggressive physical scrubs.

The core of the formula is powered by COSRX’s proprietary Centella AC-RX complex, a clinical blend featuring three legendary healing compounds: madecassic acid, asiaticoside, and asiatic acid. This targeted network operates on a cellular level to calm active inflammation, speed up skin recovery, and repair tissue damage from past breakouts. Free from harsh, stripping sulfates, this soothing wash ensures that acne-prone and highly sensitive skin matrices remain completely balanced and non-irritated during the purifying cycle.

The soft, gentle texture whips up effortlessly with water into a luxurious lather that cushions the skin, minimizing friction against sensitive or painful acne lesions. It rinses away cleanly with tepid water, leaving a perfectly refreshed, smooth skin finish with zero tight or dry pulling sensation. Consistent use steadily improves overall skin clarity, minimizes pore appearance, and fosters a visibly clearer, calmer, and more resilient complexion.

How to use:

1. Lather: Squeeze a proper, dime-sized amount of the cleanser onto your wet hands and work it into a gentle, soft foam.
2. Massage: Apply the foam to your wet face and neck, massaging in gentle circular motions, paying extra attention to oil-prone areas like the T-zone and active breakout locations.
3. Rinse: Wash off thoroughly with tepid water—avoiding water that is too hot, which can trigger redness—and softly pat dry with a clean towel.
4. Professional Tip: Because the formula contains active salicylic acid, always follow your morning wash with a lightweight moisturizer and a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher to shield your freshly exfoliated skin from UV damage.
