Common questions

Is COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Fragrance") is the 14th of 30 ingredients.

Does COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 7 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (myristic acid, stearic acid, lauric acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glycol distearate); polysorbates (polysorbate 80); and 2 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
