FAQ

Q: What does salicylic acid do for skin?

A: Salicylic acid is Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) famous for its unique ability to deep-clean pores. While water-soluble acids (like AHAs) only work on the skin's surface, salicylic acid is oil-soluble. This allows it to penetrate deep inside your pores to dissolve skin cells, excess sebum, and impurities together.

Q: Can I use a salicylic acid cleanser with retinol?

A: Yes, you can use a salicylic acid cleanser with retinol, but it requires a careful routine to avoid over-exfoliation and irritation. Since both Salicylic Acid (BHA) and Retinol are powerful active ingredients, we highly recommend not using them in the exact same skincare session.

• The Best Routine: Use your best facial cleanser with salicylic acid during your morning routine (AM) to control oil and clear pores. Save your retinol products for your nighttime routine (PM) to promote skin renewal.

• For Sensitive Skin: If your skin barrier is easily compromised, alternate nights instead, or choose an ultra-gentle formula like the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser which contains a mild 0.5% concentration that is safer to incorporate into a well-rounded routine.

Q: Can the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser be used every day?

A: Yes, the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is formulated to be gentle enough for daily use, helping to control excess oil and prevent breakouts without over-drying the skin.

Q: Is the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser suitable for sensitive skin?

A: While it is designed to be mild, those with very sensitive skin should start by using it a few times a week to see how their skin reacts, as salicylic acid can be slightly drying.
