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.

Temporarily out of stock The never-before-told story of a small cadre of influential female spies in the precarious early days of the CIA – women who helped create the template for cutting-edge espionage (and blazed new paths for equality in the workplace).In the wake of World War II, four agents were critical in helping build a new organisation now known as the CIA. Adelaide Hawkins, Mary Hutchison, Eloise Page, and Elizabeth Sudmeier, called the 'wise gals' by their male colleagues because of their sharp sense of humour and even quicker intelligence, were not the stereotypical femme fatale of spy novels. They were smart, courageous, and groundbreaking agents at the top of their class, instrumental in both developing innovative tools for intelligence gathering – and insisting (in their own unique ways) that they receive the credit and pay their expertise deserved.Adelaide rose through the ranks, developing new cryptosystems that advanced how spies communicate with each other. Mary worked overseas in Europe and Asia, building partnerships and allegiances that would last decades. Elizabeth would risk her life in the Middle East in order to gain intelligence on deadly Soviet weaponry. Eloise would wield influence on scientific and technical operations worldwide, ultimately exposing global terrorism threats.Meticulously researched and beautifully told, Holt uses firsthand interviews with past and present officials and declassified government documents to uncover the stories of these four inspirational women. Wise Gals sheds a light on the untold history of the women whose daring foreign intrigues, domestic persistence, and fighting spirit have been and continue to be instrumental to the world's security.AUTHOR:Nathalia Holt is the New York Times bestselling author of The Queens of Animation and Rise of the Rocket Girls.
