Salicylic Acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), is a lipophilic exfoliant, meaning it's oil-soluble. This makes it exceptionally effective at penetrating pores and dissolving sebum, addressing acne at its source. Unlike AHAs which are water-soluble and work primarily on the skin surface, BHAs are preferred for oily and acne-prone skin.
Centella Asiatica, a staple in K-beauty, has demonstrated significant wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties. The AC Collection leverages this by going beyond simple extracts and utilizing a CentellAC-Rx Complex, likely a proprietary blend of Centella derivatives like Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid, to maximize efficacy.

Why You'll Love It

Effectively combats breakouts: Salicylic Acid gently exfoliates and unclogs pores, preventing new blemishes from forming.
Soothes irritation and redness: The CentellAC-Rx Complex calms inflamed skin, minimizing redness and discomfort associated with acne.
Strengthens skin's barrier: Reinforces the skin's natural defense mechanisms, making it more resilient against environmental stressors and future breakouts.
Maintains balanced hydration: The creamy formula prevents over-drying, ensuring skin remains comfortable and hydrated even after cleansing.

Key Features

CentellAC-Rx Complex: Combines Centella Asiatica extracts to soothe irritation and strengthen the skin barrier. The concentrated formula likely yields superior results compared to products with only basic Centella extract.
Salicylic Acid (BHA): A key ingredient for acne-prone skin, Salicylic Acid gently exfoliates and unclogs pores, preventing breakouts. The low concentration minimizes irritation, making it suitable for daily use.
Creamy Foam Texture: Provides a gentle and effective cleanse without stripping the skin of its natural oils, preventing dryness and irritation.
pH Balanced Formula: Helps maintain the skin's optimal pH level, promoting healthy skin function and preventing moisture loss.

Perfect For

Individuals with acne-prone or oily skin.
Those seeking a gentle yet effective cleanser for daily use.

Pro Tips

For optimal results, follow with other products from the COSRX AC Collection for a comprehensive acne-fighting routine.
When introducing salicylic acid, start with once-daily use and gradually increase frequency as tolerated to avoid irritation.

Creamy Cleanser for Acne-Prone Skin

The AC Calming Foam Cleanser by Cosrx is a perfect daily cleanser that not only combats breakouts but also heals damaged skin. This creamy foam cleanser is formulated with Cosrx’s unique CentellAC-Rx Complex that optimizes the natural regenerating benefits of centella asiatica, including soothing irritation, strengthening skin’s barrier and maintaining balanced skin. Salicylic acid gently removes dead skin cells and excess oil to keep skin blemish-free without over-drying. The CentellAC-Rx combined with the salicylic acid will leave skin clear, soothed and soft. This foaming cleanser is non-acnegenic, hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, gluten-free, and cruelty-free. Made without oils, silicone, artificial fragrances or parabens. Great for all skin types, especially those with oily and acne-prone skin.

TO USE: Mix a small amount with water to work up luxurious lather. Gently massage onto wet skin using circular motions. After thoroughly cleansing your face, rinse with lukewarm water. Use morning and night.

The vision of COSRX, which stands for Cosmetics + RX, is to make practical and high-performance cosmetics for everyday skin care concerns.

I’ve used many cleansers before. This one is smooth and doesn’t irritate. Really good at calming redness after a long day. Great price for the size too.

I’ve used this for a week now. It feels creamy when applying but washes off easily. I noticed some redness calm down, which is great. Just keep in mind it’s smaller than expected; don’t know about all the ingredients yet either.

I like how this cleanser feels. It doesn’t dry out my face and rinses off easily. My skin looks clearer, which is great for my acne-prone areas. I enjoy the foam texture too; it’s smooth when applying. Perfect addition to my routine.

You know what? I’ve been trying out the AC Calming Foam Cleanser and it’s kinda brilliant! Like, every time I use it, my face feels so refreshed. There’s something in there called centella asiatica – fancy name, but trust me it’s a gem for soothing things down if you get breakouts easily. No dryness or any funky tightness afterwards which is rare for these kinds of products! It’s great to find one that isn’t all packed with crazy additives too. Perfect fit for those long Mediterranean summer days when your skin just wants some chill.
