I’ve been trying out various cleansers for my oily skin, and I recently gave the COSRX Low pH Gel Cleanser a shot. With my ongoing struggle against maskne, I’m always searching for gentle yet effective products. I’ve heard that cleansers with a lower pH can be less irritating compared to traditional foaming options, so I wanted to share my experience and hear your thoughts as well.
So far, I’ve found the COSRX cleanser to be quite soothing. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or stripped, which is a common issue with some foaming cleansers. While it’s tough to say if it’s completely preventing irritation, I have noticed fewer breakouts since I made the switch. The lightweight texture fits well into my routine, especially when I follow up with salicylic acid and calming serums.
Have any of you transitioned to a low pH cleanser? What changes have you noticed in your skin compared to using foaming cleansers? Do you believe that pH levels really impact irritation?
