COSRX Low pH Niacinamide Micellar Cleansing Water 400ml — gentle, sebum-control, fragrance-free

This micellar cleansing water from COSRX is designed for everyday use on sensitive and oil-prone skin. It combines low pH formulation with active ingredients like niacinamide and zinc PCA to help control shine and reduce the conditions that can lead to blemishes, while madecassoside and allantoin soothe irritation. Fragrance-free and clinically tested for non-irritation, it cleanses without stripping skin of moisture.

How does this cleansing water remove makeup without drying my skin?

The micelles in this formula act like tiny magnets that lift oils, sunscreen and light makeup off the skin without harsh rubbing. Because the solution is low pH and free of strong surfactants, it cleans while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Users can expect a clean, soft finish rather than tightness.

• Micellar technology captures and removes oil-based impurities.
• Low pH preserves the skin’s acid mantle to prevent dryness.
• Fragrance-free and non-irritating for sensitive skin types.

What active ingredients help control oil and blemishes?

Niacinamide and zinc PCA are central to the formula: niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and refine skin texture, while zinc PCA supports a balanced surface environment that discourages acne-causing conditions. These actives work together without being abrasive, so they suit irritated or breakout-prone complexions.

• Niacinamide for sebum regulation and brighter-looking skin tone.
• Zinc PCA to help manage oiliness and skin surface balance.
• Madecassoside and allantoin to calm redness and sensitivity.

How should I use it in my daily routine for best results?

Use the micellar water as your first-step cleanser or a no-rinse option when you need a quick refresh. Soak a cotton pad and sweep gently over the face to remove makeup and impurities; avoid vigorous rubbing. Repeat until pads come away clean, then follow with your regular cleanser or toner if desired.

• Soak cotton pad, wipe gently across face—no rubbing.
• Repeat on stubborn areas (eye makeup may require a second pass).
• Optional follow-up: rinse or double-cleanse for heavy makeup days.

Is this product safe for sensitive skin and free of harsh additives?

Yes—COSRX specifically developed this cleansing water to be gentle: it’s fragrance-free, clinically tested as non-irritating, and formulated without strong detergents. Calming ingredients like madecassoside and allantoin provide extra soothing support, making it suitable for those who react to stronger cleansers.

• Fragrance-free to reduce risk of irritation.
• Clinically tested for non-irritation on sensitive skin types.
• Low pH and mild surfactant-free formula for daily use.

Who is this for: This product is aimed at people with sensitive, combination, or oily skin who want a gentle, daily-cleansing option that removes light makeup and controls excess sebum. It’s also useful for anyone seeking a no-rinse cleanser for quick touch-ups, travel, or post-workout refreshes while maintaining a healthy skin pH and minimizing irritation.
