COSRX Low pH Niacinamide Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml — Gentle, Fragrance-Free Makeup Remover for Sensitive, Oily Skin

COSRX Low pH Niacinamide Micellar Cleansing Water is a gentle, 400ml micellar solution formulated to remove makeup and surface impurities while helping control sebum without disrupting the skin's natural pH.

This cleansing water from COSRX combines niacinamide and Zinc PCA with a low, skin-friendly pH to cleanse, soothe, and help balance oilier, troubled complexions. It’s fragrance-free and designed for sensitive skin types, using micelles to lift dirt and light makeup without harsh rubbing. The formula also includes soothing agents like madecassoside and allantoin to calm irritation while cleansing.

How does this product remove makeup without stripping the skin?

The micellar technology in this cleansing water traps oil and makeup in tiny micelles, allowing them to be wiped away gently with a cotton pad. Its low pH helps maintain the skin’s natural acid mantle, reducing the drying effect common with stronger cleansers.

• Micelles lift grime and makeup without heavy surfactants.
• Low pH preserves moisture and skin barrier balance.
• Use on cotton pads for a no-rub removal method.

Can it help with oily or acne-prone skin?

Formulated with niacinamide and Zinc PCA, this cleansing water targets excess sebum and helps create a less favorable surface for acne-causing bacteria. It supports a clearer-looking complexion when used as part of a consistent routine, though it is intended as a surface cleanser rather than an active acne treatment.

• Niacinamide regulates oil production and evens skin tone.
• Zinc PCA contributes to sebum control and a fresher finish.
• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation for reactive skin.

Is this safe for sensitive skin and daily use?

The formulation avoids harsh fragrances and strong detergents, and includes soothing ingredients like madecassoside and allantoin to comfort sensitive skin. Because it preserves the skin's pH and uses gentle micelles, it can be used daily for light cleansing or makeup removal.

• Free of common irritants and artificial fragrance.
• Soothing extracts reduce redness and discomfort after cleansing.
• Suitable for daily morning or evening use as a first-step cleanser.

How should I use the COSRX Low pH Niacinamide Micellar Cleansing Water?

Saturate a cotton pad and sweep across areas with makeup or impurities, wiping slowly to ensure residue lifts away. Avoid vigorous rubbing; repeat with a fresh pad if needed, and follow with your regular cleanser or toner for a double-cleanse if wearing heavier makeup.

• Soak a cotton pad, hold briefly on stubborn areas, then wipe gently.
• Rinse not required, but follow with a cleanser for deep removal.
• Use morning to refresh and evening as first-step makeup removal.

Who is this for: The COSRX Low pH Niacinamide Micellar Cleansing Water is suited to people who want a mild, no-fuss makeup remover that supports oily, combination, or sensitive skin types. It’s ideal for those who prioritize maintaining the skin’s natural pH, prefer fragrance-free formulas, or need a gentle daily cleansing step that coordinates with active acne or sebum-control routines. If you wear heavy waterproof makeup regularly, pair this product with a dedicated oil cleanser for complete removal.
