It is a fantastic cleanser; my skin is clearer, my pores are smaller, my whole complexion is overall significantly better. You don't need much to get a good amount of foam and the smell really isn't that bad (it's quite a strong tea tree scent). My face does feel quite dry after using it but as long as you moisturise then it isn't a problem.

However, a few things to be aware of. First off is the purge period. I found that during the first two weeks of using this I was getting spots appearing. This is because everything has to come to the surface before it can be removed completely. I made sure to use the product long enough to ensure it was a purge period and not a bad reaction before giving up on the product.

Secondly, while it certainly doesn't feel like it due to the gentle foam it IS an exfoliator. If you over exfoliate your skin then it can cause break outs. I know people who use it every day but I personally found that to be too much for my skin - once every two or three days seemed to have the best effect for me.

My skin has never felt softer and it's only been a week since I'm using this! The only problem is that my skin is going through a ''purge'' phase because I'm using this in combination with other AHA/BHA products so I am dealing with some breakouts . After researching this I found out it happens quite often so I'll keep using these products because in just a week, my cheeks and forehead have finished purging and there is literally no texture left! I'm finally able to put on makeup on those areas without it looking cake. I'm stoked!

If you experience breakouts using this, don't give up right away! Do your research and find out if they're actual breakouts or purging, and if it's the second, keep on using them. I'm doing that and now most of my skin is clear and hyper pigmentation is fading slowly but surely. I will update in 2-4 weeks and hopefully I'll bring good news

I use this as my sole cleanser in the morning and as my second step in my double cleanse. After less than a month doing this in conjunction with other kbeauty products my skin is almost completely clear after 5 years of acne, and my PIE (post-inflamatory erythema, aka the red pigmentation after a pimple) is fading way quicker than ever.

It smells funny at first but once I got used to it I started to even like the scent. I'd say one bottle of this lasts for about a month if generous use twice a day so it's really inexpensive compared to other good quality cleansers!

Ranks as an 87% on Skin Charisma and is great for dry skin, but can be problematic if you have sensitive skin because of all the acids and oils. It has some comedogenic ingredients with the rating of 3's & 4 which means it has the potential to block pores if you have oily or acne prone skin. I have oily skin and I have seen no issues. It's worth the try if you already love CosRX like i do.
