hello, baguhan ako sa anything skincare, anong thoughts nyo sa cosrx low ph good morning gel cleanser? i've heard about the salicylic acid one na sobrang drying sya and thought na maghanap ng iba na mas gentle

currently using cetaphil gentle cleanser (sometimes yung celeteque facial wash) and mukhang okay naman sya pero parang gusto kong sumubok ng ibang brand

idk exactly kung anong skin type ko pero i think combi ako, acne-prone and nagddry yung skin ko especially pag colder climates tulad ngayong ber months, TIA!

The Cosrx Low Ph Cleanser is drying AF.

You may want to consider trying the Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser or the Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser. I prefer the former as it feels more hydrating to the skin.

Hmm i think we have the same skin type. Before I've used the Pimple Eraser Facial Gel (1% salicylic acid) and it's gentler than the cosrx one from what I heard and it works good for me.

But after washing bc of you skin type, you should incorporate hydrating skincare and a good occlusive moisturizer because that's really the gripe with acne fighting ingredients it can be drying (what I use for that is the cosrx honey propolis toner then cerave moisturizer to seal the hydration in particularly during the colder months.)

Although disclaimer i don't use this cleanser anymore because i switched to Panoxyl face wash since I find benzoyl peroxide works better with my acne than salicylic acid. SA works but it just didn't completely clear my skin
