COSRX AC Collection Calming Foam Cleanser 150ml

WHY WE CHOSE THIS

We tested 9 acne-focused cleansers. Most were too stripping and left skin tight and reactive, making breakouts worse. COSRX's AC Collection Calming Foam is the only one that effectively removed excess oil and impurities from our tester's acne-prone skin without triggering more inflammation. From COSRX — the clinical K-Beauty brand trusted for ingredient-first formulas.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Acne-prone skin that flares up after cleansing
• Oily skin that needs thorough cleansing without over-stripping
• Anyone whose acne cleanser made their skin angrier

THE TEXTURE

A gentle, low-foam formula that lathers softly and rinses completely clean. No tight, dry feeling after. No residue. Skin feels calm and balanced — not squeaky or stripped.

HOW TO USE

Wet face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount, lather between palms, and massage onto face for 30–60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly. Use morning and evening.

THE FULL INGREDIENT STORY

• Salicylic Acid 0.5% (gentle BHA exfoliation + pore clearing)
• Centella Asiatica (calming + anti-inflammatory)
• Niacinamide (brightening + sebum control)
• No sulfates. No fragrance. No parabens.
