Description
Product Overview
The COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser 150ml is one of the most trusted daily cleansers in K-beauty skincare routines. Known for its gentle yet effective formulation, this cleanser is designed to respect your skin’s natural pH while keeping it clean, calm, and hydrated.
With a low pH of around 5.0–6.0, the COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser works in harmony with your skin’s acid mantle — the protective barrier that maintains moisture and prevents bacteria from causing irritation or breakouts.
Unlike harsh cleansers that strip the skin, this formula uses natural botanical ingredients such as tea tree oil and BHA (salicylic acid) to gently remove excess sebum, impurities, and dead skin cells without causing dryness or tightness.
Lightly fragranced with botanical oils, the cleanser creates a refreshing foam that leaves the skin feeling clean, smooth, and balanced. It’s suitable for all skin types, but especially beneficial for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.
If you struggle with skin sensitivity, dehydration, or breakouts, the COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser 150ml offers a perfectly balanced solution that refreshes your skin without disrupting its natural ecosystem.
Key Benefits of COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser 150ml
Maintains Skin’s Natural pH Balance
The primary benefit of the COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser lies in its ability to maintain the skin’s optimal pH level between 4.5 and 6.0. Many traditional cleansers are too alkaline, stripping the skin of its natural oils and damaging the protective barrier. This low-pH formula keeps the skin’s balance intact, promoting healthier, more resilient skin.
Regular use helps reduce sensitivity and dryness while improving your skin’s ability to absorb moisture and skincare ingredients. Balanced pH levels also mean fewer breakouts and less irritation.
Gentle Yet Effective Cleansing
This cleanser effectively removes excess oil, dirt, and impurities while remaining incredibly gentle. It does not contain harsh sulfates or artificial fragrances that can irritate the skin. Instead, the COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser uses mild surfactants derived from coconut oil that cleanse deeply while maintaining hydration.
Even after a full day of makeup, sunscreen, and pollution exposure, this cleanser purifies your skin without leaving it dry or tight. It’s ideal for morning use but gentle enough for evening cleansing as well.
Soothes and Calms Sensitive Skin
Formulated with tea tree oil, the COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits that help soothe irritation and calm redness. This ingredient also helps regulate oil production and prevent acne-causing bacteria from spreading.
The mild BHA (salicylic acid) present in the cleanser gently exfoliates the surface of the skin and unclogs pores, reducing blackheads, whiteheads, and future breakouts. Together, these ingredients create a balanced formula that cleanses and soothes simultaneously.
Hydrates and Softens
While cleansing is its main function, this product also provides light hydration thanks to the inclusion of botanical extracts and natural humectants. The formula prevents the skin from feeling stripped, keeping it soft, supple, and hydrated.
After washing, your skin will feel refreshed and moisturized rather than dry or irritated — making it a perfect choice for both dry and oily skin types.
Prevents Acne and Breakouts
The combination of low pH, tea tree oil, and salicylic acid helps create an environment that prevents acne-causing bacteria from thriving. The mild exfoliating properties of salicylic acid keep pores clean and clear, reducing the occurrence of blackheads and breakouts.
With consistent use, this cleanser helps refine pores, smooth texture, and promote a clearer complexion over time.
Non-Irritating and Safe for Daily Use
Formulated without parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, or alcohol, the COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser is gentle enough to be used twice daily, even for sensitive or compromised skin.
Dermatologically tested and cruelty-free, this product is designed to support the skin’s health without unnecessary additives. It’s safe for those undergoing acne treatments or using retinoids and exfoliating acids, as it won’t disrupt your routine.
Key Ingredients in COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser 150ml
- Tea Tree Oil: A natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent that soothes acne-prone and irritated skin while controlling sebum production.
- Betaine Salicylate (BHA): A gentle exfoliant that unclogs pores, removes dead skin cells, and refines skin texture without irritation.
- Natural Plant Extracts: Derived from botanical sources to hydrate, soften, and revitalize the skin.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine: A mild cleansing agent sourced from coconut oil that effectively removes impurities without stripping the skin.
- Citric Acid: Balances pH levels and brightens the complexion over time.
Each ingredient works in synergy to provide a refreshing, thorough cleanse while keeping the skin barrier intact.
How to Use COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser
Step 1: Wet Your Face
Start by dampening your face with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, as it can strip your skin of natural oils.
Step 2: Dispense the Cleanser
Squeeze a small amount (around a pea-sized drop) of COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser into your palm and rub your hands together to create a soft lather.
Step 3: Massage Gently
Apply the foam to your face and massage in gentle, circular motions. Focus on the T-zone or areas with excess oil and impurities, avoiding the delicate eye area.
Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse off the cleanser with lukewarm water, ensuring no residue is left behind. Pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel.
Step 5: Follow with Skincare
Immediately follow up with your toner, essence, and moisturizer to lock in hydration and maintain your skin’s natural balance.
Tip:
Although it’s called a “Good Morning” cleanser, it can be used both morning and evening. For nighttime cleansing, it pairs perfectly with the COSRX Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm or another gentle oil cleanser for a complete double-cleansing routine.
Is COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser 150ml Right for You?
This cleanser is ideal for all skin types but especially beneficial for:
- Oily or combination skin that needs balance without dryness.
- Sensitive or reactive skin that becomes irritated easily.
- Acne-prone skin that requires gentle exfoliation and antibacterial care.
- Dry skin that still needs effective cleansing without stripping moisture.
If you experience tightness, irritation, or breakouts from harsh foaming cleansers, this product is a safer and more effective alternative. It’s also an excellent choice for those following a minimalist or barrier-repair skincare routine.
Additional Tips for Best Results
- Use Consistently: For visible improvement in skin texture and clarity, use the cleanser twice daily.
- Pair with a Low-pH Toner: Follow up with a hydrating toner like COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner to keep your pH levels stable.
- Double Cleanse (Evening Routine): Use this as the second step after an oil cleanser to remove sunscreen and makeup more effectively.
- Avoid Harsh Exfoliants: Because this cleanser contains BHA, it’s best not to pair it with other strong exfoliating acids in the same routine.
- Moisturize Immediately: Apply a lightweight moisturizer like COSRX Full Fit Propolis Light Cream or COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream right after cleansing to seal in hydration.
Comparison: Why Choose COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser Over Other Cleansers?
Unlike many conventional face washes that use alkaline surfactants or harsh foaming agents, the COSRX Good Morning Low pH Cleanser is carefully formulated to maintain the skin’s delicate acid mantle.
Most cleansers on the market have a pH above 7, which can cause dryness, irritation, and barrier damage. In contrast, COSRX’s low-pH formula works synergistically with your skin’s natural ecosystem, promoting optimal hydration and reducing the risk of inflammation.
Other cleansers may contain artificial fragrances or alcohol that irritate sensitive skin. COSRX eliminates these additives and replaces them with plant-based ingredients that cleanse gently yet effectively.
Its balanced texture — a light, refreshing gel that transforms into a soft foam — makes it versatile for morning freshness and evening deep cleansing alike.

- Not tested on animals (cruelty-free certification).
- Environmentally conscious, using recyclable packaging.
This ethical and minimalistic approach makes COSRX a leading name in safe, science-backed skincare that respects both your skin and the environment.
