COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is a Korean acne-fighting cleanser designed to be gentle enough for everyday use while keeping breakouts, blackheads, and excess oil under control. Powered by salicylic acid (BHA) and natural tea tree leaf oil, it dives deep into pores to dissolve the dirt, sebum, and buildup that cause acne — without stripping or dehydrating your skin.
The creamy formula lathers into a rich, satisfying foam that removes impurities and product buildup while natural willow bark water provides gentle, ongoing exfoliation. Your skin is left feeling clean, soft, and refreshed — never tight or dry. Dermatologist tested, vegan, and cruelty-free, this is the daily cleanser your acne-prone skin has been waiting for.
