Gentle + clarifying

A low pH gel cleanser with a gentle BHA and tea tree oil that cleans thoroughly without the stripped feeling.

COSRX’s everyday face wash is mildly acidic, close to skin’s natural pH. It lathers into light bubbles that lift away the oil and waste skin builds up overnight, while tea tree and botanical extracts keep pores looking refined.
