Q: Can I use the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser every day? A: Yes, most skin types can use it twice daily. If your skin runs dry or sensitive, start with once a day in the evening and increase as your skin builds tolerance.

Q: Will this cleanser dry out my skin? A: The formula is designed not to strip the skin. Glycerin, cocamidopropyl betaine, and soothing botanical extracts help keep the skin’s barrier comfortable, so most people find it gentle enough for daily wash.

Q: Does the COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser remove makeup? A: It lifts light makeup and sunscreen well, but for heavier makeup or waterproof SPF, we recommend using a dedicated oil cleanser or cleansing balm first, then following up with this BHA wash.

Q: Can I pair this with other BHA or retinol products? A: Yes, but ease in. Since it’s a rinse-off BHA, it generally layers fine with leave-on actives, but watch for dryness or irritation. Space out your strongest actives if your skin is reactive.

Q: Is it safe for pregnancy? A: Salicylic acid in low amounts in a rinse-off product is generally considered low-risk, but always consult your healthcare provider before adding any new active skincare during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
