Assalamualaikum and hello everybodeh! So today I'm going to talk about the famous cleanser that everybody seems to rave about in the K-Beauty world which is the Cosrx Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser...well that is sure a mouthful. If you are familiar with the K-Beauty trend, you will not be going to miss how people are going on and on about this cleanser and how this is inexpensive and at the same time cure some skin problems. So, I was trapped by all of those good reviews and decided to purchase me one!
My thoughts?
At first use, this cleanser is 'okay' for me as I have a high expectations when I purchased this. It didn't strip my skin but at the same time, it didn't give me that hydration bounce like what my Hada Labo Gokjyun Cleanser does. It does sting my eyes too! That one of the biggest cons for me as I prefer a cleanser that is gentle on my eyes. Such a turn off though. Despite everything, I just continue to use the cleanser for about 2/3 weeks and suddenly, there's like mountains of acne pop out on my forehead?!?! At first, I blame my Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum for it so I stop using it but continue using the cleanser without any suspicion.
That's where Liah Yoo a beauty youtuber uploaded a video regarding fungal acne on the forehead and that what clicked me in. The ingredients and the comments show that many people broke out due to this gel cleanser! So I started to put down and stop using the cleanser for a while and surprisingly, my acne slows down and started to disappear. (It still left me some scars but thank god the acne slows down :( ) Never knew that this cleanser which is a holy grail for most people surely is a definite miss to me!
So lesson learned, do more and more research before buying 'em not because of just reviews. BUT even though this cleanser does not work for me, it might work amazingly for you! Just check if the ingredients are suitable for you.
Are you having a good time with this cleanser? :)
