COSRX AC Collection Calming Foam Cleanser 150ml — Salicylic Acid Acne Cleanser with Centella for Soothing Pore Care

This lightweight 150ml cleanser blends 5000ppm salicylic acid with Centella Asiatica to target acne-prone skin: it cleans deeply, helps soften blackheads and whiteheads, and supports healing while maintaining skin comfort. Designed by COSRX to be fragrance-minimal and formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or animal testing, the foam provides a soothing daily ritual for irritated or breakout-prone complexions.

How does this foam cleanser help acne-prone skin?

The high-concentration salicylic acid penetrates pores to loosen sebum and debris, helping prevent and reduce comedones while Centella Asiatica supports recovery of irritated areas. The formula balances cleansing strength with skin-friendly ingredients so you get effective pore care without excessive stripping.

• Contains 5000ppm salicylic acid to exfoliate inside pores and reduce blackheads.
• Centella Asiatica soothes inflammation and aids barrier repair.
• Creates dense, soft foam that removes dirt and oil gently.

Will this cleanser dry or irritate sensitive skin?

COSRX designed the Calming Foam for minimal irritation: it produces a cushioning foam that cleans without leaving skin tight or flaky. Ingredients are selected to be hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested, reducing the risk of over-drying when used as directed.

• Soft foam texture protects skin while cleansing.
• Free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and animal testing.
• Recommendations: use morning and night, and follow with hydration if skin feels dry.

How should I use this cleanser in my routine?

Use a small amount and work into a lather with wet hands, then massage gently over the face for 30–60 seconds before rinsing. It’s suitable as the first step in both morning and evening routines, and pairs well with non-comedogenic moisturizers and targeted treatments.

• Apply to damp skin, lather, massage, then rinse thoroughly.
• Follow with toner, serum, or moisturizer tailored to acne-prone skin.
• Use sunscreen during the day when combining with exfoliating actives.

What results can I expect and when?

Initial benefits like reduced surface oil and a cleaner-feeling complexion appear immediately after use; visible decreases in blackheads and fewer active breakouts typically become noticeable within a few weeks with consistent use. As with all exfoliating actives, progress varies by skin type and concurrent treatments.

• Immediate: clearer, less greasy feeling skin after cleansing.
• Short term (2–4 weeks): fewer new breakouts and diminished comedones.
• Long term: improved healing of irritated areas with regular calming support.

Who is this for: COSRX AC Collection Calming Foam Cleanser is made for people with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who need a reliable daily cleanser that targets pore congestion and soothes inflammation. It’s also suitable for those who prefer skincare free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and animal testing, and for anyone wanting a gentle salicylic-acid option within a calming, low-irritant formula.
