Cosrx Calming Foam Cleanser Review: An Anti Acne Cleanser Worth A Try

Cosrx Calming Foam Cleanser Review

I’ve used very few cleansers in my lifetime. I tend to stick with what works for me, and keep repurchasing till there’s an actual need for something else. Last year, I switched over from Neutrogena’s oil free acne cleanser to the Cosrx calming foam cleanser when I was actively breaking out, and it became my go-to cleanser.

I’ve repurchased this multiple times now, and I can finally come on here and give my Cosrx calming foam cleanser review.

TEXTURE.

This has a creamy texture, like a lot of other cleansers. It has a slight herbal smell, sort of like tea tree kind of scent, but however Cosrx claims that it is artificial fragrance free.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH IT.

One of my favorite things about this product is the fact that a little goes a long way, so it lasts for quite a while. It lathers really well, and also cleanses well.

However on my first use, I noticed that my skin felt a bit tight afterwards and it stung a bit. Although, I can’t say with certainity that this product was the cause of the stinging because I used it in addition to a couple of other new products. With time though, the stinging stopped, and so far, I haven’t had any complaints with it.

I am not exactly acne prone, but I noticed that I stopped having random breakouts, and didn’t even break out during my period. Also, I got this product as part of a haul for a new routine when I was breaking out a lot, and I daresay that it helped me get my skin back on track.

As a side note, make sure to moisturize appropriately while using this and you should be good.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.

Unfortunately, this isn’t readily available in Nigeria, but you can get it from a couple of K beauty stores in Nigeria. I got mine from shopmodavracha, buybetterng on IG. If you have ways to ship stuff from the abroad over here, you can purchase it from yesstyle.com
