I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- So puzzled, as this low pH "gentle" cleanser totally made my skin dry and rough even after the first time I used it! My skin actually felt worse than for example after Tonymoly AC Control Acne Foam Cleanser samples even though I suppose that's a stripping cleanser.
- I think, it's breaking me out too in small bumps, or at least assisting other products in breaking me out, if this makes sense? Slowly, over time, not immediately.
- Saccharomyces ferment, again... probably this one hates me and I didn't know/realize when I bought the cleanser.
- The smell of Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is quite unpleasant but not undoable... It smells like old, damp shed or barn, a bit medical, not like tea tree oil in my opinion.
- Packaging feels cheap and ugly.
- Annoying to use. Everything should be packaged in pump bottles.
- Irritates eyes slightly. Not for eye make up removal.
- Overall not a pleasant product.
+ Has tea tree oil, my skin absolutely loves TTO (but sadly it's not enough to make this cleanser awesome).
+ Cleanses sweaty feet very well! Also armpits. If you were wondering how to manage to use the cleanser if it fails for you too.
+ But if you're not sensitive to this cleanser, yes, it cleanses face well, foams ever so slightly if you rub it and skin feels clean afterwards, no residue. But still it's nothing amazing, many cleansers can do that.

* I'm starting to feel a little bitter because the most popular and raved products don't work for my skin! But I do understand that it's just life and that's the reason I started this documenting blog.
* I used the cleanser for about 3-4 weeks I think, varying either once a day and some days twice.
* I'm not sure if it is truly breaking me out of course and it's just a cleanser that is washed away from skin so is it even possible?
* Now the sad tube is just sitting there and I don't know what to do with it, I was planning to test it on my face again when the winter is over (winter makes my skin dry) but honestly I'm wondering if it's even worth another test period.
Price:
USD 8.25 / 150 ml
Bought from:
Jolse
Buy again?
No.
Worth the money?
For me, no it wasn't. I could see it working for oily skin in a humid country though! Or someone with a thicker and less sensitive skin. But it's kind of unpleasant product to use so why would you buy it instead of some other cleanser, there are hundreds to choose from?
