Good Morning Gel Cleanser is a fresh gel wash that cleans without leaving your face tight. A little tea tree, rinsed straight off.
Good Morning Gel Cleanser
The cleanser you use when you want to feel properly washed and still comfortable. COSRX keeps this 150ml gel close to your skin’s own acidity, about pH 5.31, with betaine salicylate and a touch of tea tree. Foam it, rinse it, get on with your morning.
About this product
What you get
A 150ml gel you use morning and night. COSRX built it to clean without stripping, at a stated pH of 5.31, give or take one point, so it sits near your skin’s own acidity instead of feeling like soap. Betaine salicylate and tea tree leaf oil are the two ingredients they want you to notice: a gentle polish, and that clean green smell.
It is the first step, not the whole routine. The point is a face that feels fresh enough that you actually look forward to washing it.
How to use
Makeup off first. Wet your hands and your face, foam a small squeeze between your palms, and massage everywhere except eyes and mouth. Rinse with warm water. Morning and night is how COSRX tells you to use it.
Start-safe: give it a week on its own. If it tingles in a way you enjoy, lovely. If it stings, this is not your wash.
Ingredients
Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, Sodium Chloride, Polysorbate 20, Styrax Japonicus Branch/Fruit/Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Saccharomyces Ferment, Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Allantoin, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Betaine Salicylate, Citric Acid, Ethyl Hexanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Sodium Benzoate, Disodium EDTA.
Betaine salicylate is the gentle polish. Tea tree leaf oil is named under its botanical name, Melaleuca alternifolia. Together they are why the wash feels clean rather than soapy. If your skin is reactive, give it a few days and notice how your face feels once it is dry.
Common questions
Will this clear breakouts?
It gets the day off your face, which is where clearer skin starts. The betaine salicylate is rinsed away, so pair it with a leave-on step if breakouts are the thing you are actually treating.
What does the pH number mean for me?
COSRX states 5.31, within one point either way. That is close to your skin, which is why it feels soft afterwards instead of squeaky.
Can I use it twice a day?
Yes. That is the routine COSRX wrote it for, morning and night. If your face ever feels tight, drop to once a day.
