Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser 150ml

If your skin feels tight or squeaky after cleansing, the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser 150ml is the gentle reset it needs. This is one of COSRX’s all-time bestsellers, built around a simple but powerful idea: a cleanser that matches the skin’s natural pH (around 5.3) so it cleanses thoroughly without breaking down the acid mantle. The result is soft, refreshed skin that doesn’t fight back with dryness or reactive redness. Honestly, it’s the kind of cleanser you barely notice doing its job — in the best way.

The formula earns its reputation. Inside the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, betaine salicylate (a gentle plant-derived BHA) mildly exfoliates and helps keep pores clear, while tea tree leaf oil adds antibacterial support for acne-prone skin. A botanical blend with cryptomeria japonica, lotus leaf, and evening primrose flower calms and refreshes, and allantoin softens skin. Great for all skin types — oily, combination, dry, or sensitive — and especially useful when layering actives like retinol, AHAs, or vitamin C. Pair it with the  COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner for a deeper pore-clearing routine.

Key Benefits

• Low pH Cleanse — Formulated at pH 5.3 to match your skin’s natural acid mantle, keeping the moisture barrier intact.
• Mild BHA Exfoliation — Betaine salicylate gently sweeps dead cells and sebum without the harshness of traditional salicylic acid.
• Calms & Clarifies — Tea tree oil in the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser soothes breakout-prone skin and adds antibacterial support.
• No Stripping Feel — The gentle gel lather rinses clean without that tight, squeaky after-feel that leaves skin dehydrated.
• Great for Daily Use — Safe enough to use morning and night, even on sensitive or active-treated skin.

Key Ingredients

Here’s what powers the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser 150ml:

Betaine Salicylate (Natural BHA) A plant-derived salicylic acid alternative that gently exfoliates the skin surface and helps clear pore congestion. It’s kinder to the skin barrier than synthetic salicylic acid, which is why this cleanser works well even on sensitive skin types.

Tea Tree Leaf Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) A well-studied antibacterial and anti-inflammatory plant oil that helps calm active breakouts and reduce the microbial load on skin. It adds a fresh, clean aroma without needing added fragrance.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine A coconut-derived, skin-friendly surfactant that creates the gel-to-foam texture. It cleanses effectively while staying mild — key to why this formula doesn’t strip.

Allantoin A gentle soothing ingredient that softens skin and supports cell turnover. It helps keep skin comfortable even with daily BHA use.

Botanical Extract Blend (Cryptomeria Japonica, Nelumbo Nucifera, Pinus Palustris, Pueraria Lobata) A thoughtful mix of leaf and root extracts known in Korean skincare for calming, sebum-balancing, and antioxidant properties. They make the formula feel almost spa-like.

Saccharomyces Ferment A fermented ingredient rich in amino acids and minerals. It supports a healthy skin microbiome while adding hydration to the cleanse — a small but thoughtful touch.

Citric Acid Used to fine-tune the cleanser’s low pH to that skin-friendly 5.3 range, making sure every wash feels balanced and non-disruptive.

• Excess sebum and midday shine
• Active breakouts and blemishes
• Tight, stripped feeling after washing
• Disrupted skin pH from harsh cleansers

Not Recommended For

⚠️ Anyone with a known allergy to tea tree oil or salicylates — patch test before regular use.

⚠️ Heavy waterproof makeup — this is a daily cleanse, not a makeup remover; use an oil cleanser first.

How to Use

1. Wet Your Hands & Face — Start with lukewarm water to prep skin.
2. Dispense a Small Amount — A pea-sized drop is plenty for the whole face.
3. Lather & Massage — Work into a light, creamy foam between palms, then massage gently over face in circular motions for 20–30 seconds.
4. Rinse & Pat Dry — Wash off with lukewarm water and pat skin dry with a soft towel.

Use: AM & PM

Where in routine: First cleanse (or second cleanse after an oil cleanser at night)

Pro Tip: At night, use this as the second step of a double cleanse after an oil cleanser or cleansing balm. In the morning, it’s gentle enough to use on its own — no need to over-cleanse freshly rested skin.
