Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser

works great if used right

I've been using this for a couple months now, and it's defiantly reduced my acne breakouts. However, since this cleanser's focus is salicylic acid, it won't work to its full extent if you're not massaging it into your skin for at least 2-3 minutes.
Sometimes it can sting when washing off/after, but I've found it always happens when I haven't wet my face/hands enough, or I've over worked it into my face and the waters evaporated. It hasn't happened since I realised this.
It does strip a lot of my skins natural moister, but since it works well in all other areas it's not a deal breaker for me. I have sensitive/combination skin.

Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser

Good cleanser

I brought the COSRX salicylic acid daily gentle cleanser a few months ago now and have been using it frequently.
I definitely noticed an improvement in my t-zone area as that's where I tend to get oily and break out.
However this cleanser has a high PH and I've found that it dries out parts of my face quite quickly when used twice daily.
My cheeks have become very dry over the last week of use which has given them a texture I don't like, especially considering my cheeks are where I never suffer from any type of skin challenge (not to mention the stinging pain from them being dry is awful!)
Over all I would be careful when using this cleanser frequently, especially if you have combination skin or dry skin!
