COSRX - Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser 150ml

COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser (150ml) is a foaming face wash made in South Korea by COSRX. It combines 0.5% salicylic acid (BHA) with tea tree oil, willow bark water and saccharomyces ferment to gently remove impurities and excess sebum, help reduce breakouts and leave skin softer and more even. It is mild enough for daily use on all skin types, including sensitive skin that breaks out. COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser is available in Kuwait from Skin Valet at 5.500 KWD.

Skin Valet Kuwait is an authorized stockist of COSRX. Every tube is sourced through official distributors, never grey-market or refilled stock, so you receive the original COSRX formula from Korea in its sealed packaging.

What COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser Does

Breakout-prone skin needs a cleanser that keeps pores clear without leaving the face raw. This one brings a low, daily-friendly dose of BHA into the step you already do twice a day.

• 0.5% salicylic acid – an oil-soluble BHA that helps clear excess sebum and impurities from the pores.
• Tea tree oil – included to help fight the look of blemishes.
• Willow bark water and saccharomyces ferment – help hydrate skin so it feels softer and looks more even.
• Daily-gentle strength – suited to all skin types, including sensitive skin.
• Clean, non-stripping finish – skin feels fresh rather than tight after rinsing.

Salicylic Acid Cleanser vs a Leave-On BHA

Unlike a typical leave-on BHA exfoliant, which stays on the skin for hours, a salicylic acid cleanser works in short contact and then rinses away. That makes it a gentler daily option for keeping pores clear, and a good entry point if you have never used acids. If you want a stronger, targeted treatment for blackheads, add the COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid a few nights a week. For a milder morning wash, the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser pairs well with it.

Why It Helps Oily Skin in Kuwait's Heat

When summer temperatures pass 45°C, oil and sweat build up quickly, and a layer of sunscreen plus fine dust sits on the skin all day. That mix is a common trigger for clogged pores and breakouts, particularly on the forehead, nose and chin.

Cleansing with a low dose of salicylic acid each evening helps clear that build-up from inside the pores, not just from the surface. Because the formula is gentle, it does not add to the dryness that indoor air-conditioning already causes. Explore our acne and oily skin collection for treatments that pair well with it.

How to Use COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.
2. Add a little water to a small amount of cleanser and work it into a lather.
3. Massage over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.

Use it morning and evening, or once a day at night if your skin is dry or sensitive. At night, remove heavy makeup and sunscreen with an oil cleanser first, then use this as your second cleanse. Follow with a hydrating toner and moisturizer. Because BHA can make skin more sensitive to the sun, wear sunscreen daily. Avoid the eyes, and patch test first if you use other acids or retinoids.
