COSRX LOW pH GOOD MORNING GEL CLEANSER

There are few cleansing gels on the market that really work for me. I love my cleansing balms/oils and milk cleansers; they nourish my skin and most importantly they don't strip my skin, so when I deviate it better be worth my time. Unlike most foaming cleansers, COSRX LOW PH GOOD MORNING GEL CLEANSER does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), which can leave your skin feeling really dry or stripped. In recent times, there has been a trend towards using products that are surfactant free, even with hair products. A milder alternative derived from coconut is used to give the foaming effect that some people may favour. This product was honestly a pleasant surprise, and I am glad I gave it a shot.

The tea tree oil is pretty strong. It has a strong medicinal smell which can put some people off using it but once you feel the results you will get over it. Plus, you are rinsing it off so the smell goes away almost immediately
