A gentle, low pH (5.0-6.0) gel cleanser that works with your skin's natural acid mantle instead of against it. The lightweight formula lathers into a soft foam that removes overnight buildup and impurities without leaving that tight, stripped feeling. Great for both morning and evening use.
Who is This For?
Suitable for all skin types, and especially helpful if your skin tends to feel tight or irritated after cleansing. Also a solid choice if you're dealing with enlarged pores or uneven texture.
Key Benefits
Maintains your skin's natural pH balance, so no post-cleanse tightness or dryness
Contains Betaine Salicylate (a gentle, plant-derived BHA) to help refine texture and minimize the look of pores
Tea Tree Leaf Oil helps clarify and balance excess oil without being harsh
Free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and alcohol; hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested
Key Ingredients
Betaine Salicylate — A mild BHA that gently exfoliates and helps keep pores looking refined
Tea Tree Leaf Oil — Clarifies and purifies skin while helping manage excess sebum
Saccharomyces Ferment — Supports skin's moisture barrier and overall hydration
FAQs
Q: Is the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser suitable for acne-prone skin?
A: Yes, this cleanser contains Tea Tree Oil and Betaine Salicylate, both of which are known to help address concerns associated with acne-prone skin, including excess sebum and clogged pores.
Q: Can I use this cleanser if I have sensitive skin?
A: This cleanser is formulated with a low pH (5.0-6.0), is hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and free from common irritants including sulfates, parabens, and alcohol, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
Q: Can I use this with other exfoliating products?
A: Yes, but avoid using it at the same time as other BHAs or strong chemical exfoliants to prevent over-exfoliating. Alternate them in your routine instead.
Q: Can I use this cleanser both morning and evening?
A: Yes, the gentle formula is suitable for twice-daily use. It's effective enough to remove overnight buildup in the morning and works well as a second cleanser after oil cleansing in the evening.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: Most users notice their skin feels more balanced and less tight immediately after use. Improvements in texture and pore appearance typically become more noticeable after 2-4 weeks of consistent use.
Q: Who should avoid this cleanser?
A: Those with known sensitivities to tea tree oil or salicylates should patch test first or choose an alternative. If you're allergic to aspirin, consult a dermatologist before using products containing Betaine Salicylate.
Q: Why does pH matter in a cleanser?
A: Your skin's natural pH sits around 5.5, and high-pH cleansers can disrupt this balance, leading to dryness, irritation, and a compromised moisture barrier. This low pH formula cleanses while keeping your skin's acid mantle intact.
How to Use
Wet your face and hands with lukewarm water. Squeeze a small amount of product (approximately pea-sized) onto your palm. Gently lather the gel between your hands to create a light foam. Massage the foam onto your face using circular motions, avoiding the eye and mouth area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat your face dry with a clean towel and proceed with your skincare routine.

I use it every morning and my skin feels very clean and comfortable.
It's perfect to use in the morning and good to use in the evening when I have light makeup.
I'm using the second bottle now and will continue using it.

My sensitive skin likes it!!
I came to know about this product from an influencer i follow on you tube. She s a doctor. So i wanted to try this gentle doctor approved formula. My skin is very sensitive combination. Mostly feel dry and tight n feels like slowly burning sometimes due to lack of enough moisturizer on my face. So i have to be careful what i put on my face. This face wash is gentle, but foamy on the same time. It does not smell like roses duhhhh!!!! But i have peace of mind that it smell like medicine but its safe for my skin.. bcz the amout of actives i put on my face in night time to target the issue of my hyperpigmentation,, this fits the bill for one time washing in the morning( i know double cleanse people!) i do that at night. With this face cleanser and an oil cleanser. I totally recommend buying this product.

Just the same gel cleanser
Nothing special. Just an average cleanser. Has a little bit of chemical smell, but not very uncomfortable, fine, I don't know which ingredient is making it smell that way. Certainly, do not expect much difference from other cleansers if you have dry skin. It's usually the same for dry skin. But it is slightly gentle that it doesn't give me an extremely dry feeling.

A Bestseller for a Reason
This cleanser is no joke! Gentle, cleansing, and so great. I use in the morning and the Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser in the evening. But this could certainly be used at morning and night. Rinses cleanly, no buildup, and very lightly scented. Never stop making this!

Low PH Good morning gel
It was curious that the first time I used the Good morning gel my cheeks felt super dry, then I decided using it again following the Goodnight soft peel. After that every time I have used the Good morning gel I noticed that my cheeks felt less dry than the first time, and the following products absorb much better into the skin :-D Even so, still I think just the Good morning gel it's not for me.

Great cleanser
This product removes impurities from my skin without stripping all the moisture. A lot of facial cleanser tends to be very drying, but this one is not the case. My skin feels clean, moist, and fresh after washing it with this product. Highly recommend!!!

Great Cleanser to Help Wake You Up!
This cleanser does a great job of cleansing my combination skin while helping me wake up in the morning. The ingredients in here help give a nice invigorating feeling that helps wake my skin up by perking it. It also doesn't leave my skin too dry. I strongly recommend using this cleanser for combination skin.

Really enjoyed this cleanser. Bought 2 bottles in one go to try. Was effective in gentle cleansing. Felt nice and fresh afterwards. No stripping feeling. Helped with Acne. Only thing to improve would be to get rid of strong Tea Tree scent, otherwise perfect.

For me this is basic cleanser that doesn't irritate my skin. I love it! My skin is reallly easy to irritate which means it's difficult to properly clean and moisturize.
This is a great morning cleanser for anyone with acne-prone skin. It's pretty cheap considering the quality .

It's gentle, my skin seems to be responding well to it, I only need a little bit to go a long way. I've really enjoyed the product! Wish the packaging were more sustainable somehow!

So I have been using this cleanser for months now and I really see a difference in the health of my skin. Before I used to get really dry skin after cleansing and my face would get irritated but with this cleanser I don't have that at all. It is light and doesn't strip my skin from all the moisture, it actually makes my face feel quite hydrated. I really like that the gel turns into an foam like substance. Overall I see a great improvement in my skin and while using it I haven't had any major pimples or break outs.

Good Morning Cleanser
I love this cleanser! I've been using it for a couple weeks and it's been very refreshing. The only thing I want to mention is that my skin does feel a little dry/tight after using it, buts it's not a problem after I moisturize. It also has a scent, not super strong, but still noticeable. I personally like it but it might bother some people.

Does this foam up?
CUPIDROP
Hi Kai,
Yes, the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser does foam up when mixed with water and lathered. It is categorized as a foaming cleanser and works wonderfully as the second step in your double cleanse routine—or even used just by itself. Happy Shopping!
