The COSRX Low-pH Good Morning Cleanser is my favorite cleanser right now! It’s a very popular cleanser with lots of good reviews. If you google it, you’ll see lots reviews from other bloggers as well. I’ve read varying pH values with some people finding a value of 5.0 and others finding a value of  5.5, and and others a value of ~5.0-6.0. So know that what I found is based upon using these pH strips.

Mia’s review: I really like the COSRX low-pH cleanser and I’m on my second bottle.  I don’t find it to be harsh, irritating or drying at all and use it in the morning and evening. I read several reviews that said it was a bit drying for some skin types. Because I have combination skin with dry/dehydrated cheeks, I was worried it wouldn’t work for me. But I don’t find that it strips or dries out my skin at all. I think this would work for more oily skin types and recommended it to my best friend who has oily skin.

I also have skin prone to redness (possibly rosacea) and I don’t find this cleanser makes my skin more red at all.

If I am wearing a light sunscreen, this cleanser removes it just fine. For the more heavy duty sunscreens, I use this after using an oil cleanser. I don’t wear a lot of foundation so can’t say too much about its ability to remove make-up.

Another thing I should mention is the scent. A lot of other reviews mention the tea tree oil scent. It does smell of tea tree oil and I’m okay with it because at least tea tree oil is natural.

I tend to just buy this cleanser from Amazon because the price is good and I don’t have to pay for shipping. I still really like the Hada Labo hydrating cleanser (click here for my review). But, Hada Labo has methylisothiazolinone as an ingredient, and I’m trying to reduce/eliminate such products in my life.
