Is your cleanser clearing breakouts—or causing more?

If you’re battling acne, clogged pores, or excess oil, harsh cleansers often do more harm than good. Enter the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser, a cult-favorite K-beauty formula that delivers daily exfoliation without stripping your skin. Powered by low-dose salicylic acid and calming botanicals, it clears impurities while keeping your skin soft, balanced, and breakout-free.

Acne-prone skin needs cleansing—but not at the cost of your barrier. This creamy foaming cleanser is formulated with 0.5% salicylic acid, giving you effective pore-clearing power that’s gentle enough for everyday use.

Infused with tea tree oil and willow bark water, it calms inflammation, fights acne-causing bacteria, and helps refine skin texture. Saccharomyces ferment and evening primrose extract nourish the skin with nutrients and antioxidants, keeping the formula hydrating and non-drying.

The lush, foaming cream texture lathers easily and rinses clean—leaving your skin feeling fresh, not tight.
