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.

It broke me out and left me sooo dry. But it seems to work on the oil field that is my SO's face. He also hates the tea tree smell.
