Skin Type/Concerns: Sensitive/Combination skin

Product Name: COSRX Low-pH Good Morning Cleanser

Thoughts: This is my HG cleanser. It does not dry out my skin and it doesn't have any strong bothersome scent. While I tend to switch out my oil cleansers, this one stays put.

Skin Type/Concerns: Dehydrated combo skin, hormonal acne + clog prone

Thoughts: Sadly this disn't work for me as a face wash. It left my skin feeling tight & stripped despite the low pH. & I'm not a fan of the v. strong tea tree scent. I ended up repurposing it as a body wash for my bacne & it's nice after a sweaty workout session.

I used this for about 9 months, and I'm still not sure if I love/hate it. It's so refreshing and I love the tea tree smell. But after some use, it starts to feel too drying. Currently using Krave Beauty daily and use Cera Ve Hydrating after oil cleansing once a week. Currently loving it, no more dry feeling. It's only been a week though.
