What is COSRX Salicylic Acid Cleanser?

It’s a low-pH foaming cleanser infused with 0.5% salicylic acid, an effective BHA that exfoliates inside the pores to unclog buildup and reduce acne. The formula also includes botanical extracts like willow bark water and tea tree oil, making it gentle enough for daily use, even for sensitive or oily skin types. It’s one of COSRX’s best-selling solutions for blemish-prone skin.

With soothing ingredients like tea tree oil and willow bark water, it reduces redness and irritation while keeping your skin fresh.
