are you in the US? you can get the cleanser at ohlolly.com. I bought mine from amazon though from this seller though [link]
COSRX’s Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is a popular cruelty-free option for many skin types! I don’t love recommending things on Amazon but it just so happens to have free shipping and is about $11/15 CAD on Amazon CA.
I was doing it nightly. The products I use don’t strip your face or dry it out so it was safe to use daily. In the mornings I would either rinse my face with water or the Cosrx foaming cleanser.
Really? I was talking about this: [link]
Sorry I hadn't noticed a lot of people found it drying.
Edit: BTW if you do find something that fits the criteria, do let me know if possible. I'd love to try that out.
We seem to have the same skin type and so far (still in the patch testing phase), I'm having luck with Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser as my second cleanser. I've tested 4 or 5 different cleansers before this one and so far so good :)
Product name: Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser (Amazon CAN | USA)
Price (range): $8 - $15
Country: Canada
Skin type: Oil-y, acne-prone, hormonal
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Special info: pH is about 3.5, smells like tea tree, a much loved skin cleanser in the AB Community
Experience & opinion: I like the smell, I love that it makes my skin feel so clean and is non-drying (for me), I love that the pH is appropriately low, I've had no negative/adverse reactions
None of us can suggest products for your skin because everyone's skin is different. I would suggest that you should cease physically exfoliating your face ASAP, because physically exfoliating causes damage and is incompatible with rosacea. See if you can get a prescription for azelaic acid (Finacea) as it is both rosacea medication AND a chemical exfoliant. I have eczema and moderate rosacea on my face and the azelaic acid is working to keep both at bay right now. Mine costs AU$30 and has lasted me over a year.
Are you willing to buy from overseas if the price is right? I'm in Australia and have had amazing improvement with Asian skincare products I buy from eBay and Amazon. Even Cerave is terrible compared to Mizon and Cosrx products. Asian beauty products focus a lot more on hydration and dewy skin, and use multiple layers of moisture to hydrate which is much friendlier towards my rosacea. Vaseline makes my rosacea get much, much worse, so I avoid it.
I'm currently using the following products on my previously-sensitive, dehydrated skin with rosacea and eczema:
Mineral oil cleanse. Wipe on straight mineral oil, gently massage it, then wash off with tepid water. Not using a huge pH cleanser has made the biggest difference in my face. I use COSRX Low pH Good Morning Cleanser ($11) to remove the slight tack left over from the oil if needed.
COSRX Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence OR COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence ($15ish). Using a hydrating toner like these isn't really required, but I find it helps.
Scinic Honey All In One Ampoule ($12) (huge bottle, this is about 3 years worth). This has made my skin SO SHINY AND BOUNCY.
Mizon Black Snail AIO Cream ($13) for winter or Mizon Snail Repair AIO Cream ($14) for summer. The black is slightly thicker and more moisturising.
It helps that I keep all of my skincare in the fridge, too. Every morning and night when I put it on it is so cool and anti-inflammatory <3
I have also learned how to cover my rosacea with better, cheaper and less makeup. NYX foundation stick #2 has amazing coverage and matches my rosy pink complexion perfectly.
I had previously spent so much on drug store products. Cerave, Cetaphil, La Roche Posay, Ponds, Bioderma, and many others I forget about, expensive and useless products. Asia is 20 years in front of the AU/US markets in terms of research and development.
It's only $9 on Amazon!
Ahahhhaha I graduate from grad school in August so I 100000% understand! I have combo dry/oily skin. But because of my skin care routine, I really don't have either tbh.
- My daily face wash is Cosrx low PH Cleanser. I've used it for years now - https://www.amazon.com/COSRX-Good-Morning-Cleanser-150ml/dp/B016NRXO06?ref_=ast_sto_dp
- Other products I've tried from Cosrx have never done me dirty. I love their pimple patches as well

- I've tried Drunk Elephant's peptide moisturizer, Tatcha's Dewy skin and Water skin and I always come back to this for night & day. If I'm feeling extra dry I use moisturizing masks from more luxury brands

I had issues with adult acne and COSRX’s Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser makes me look so good now (in addition to a routine with vitamin C and moisturizer).
These patterned terracotta plant pots are super cute and come with a little mesh screen for the drainage hole so dirt can’t fall out. I love them
I'm a combination skin type, so depending on your own these might not be best, but at first I used the basics. A cleanser, moisturizer, and a sunscreen.
Cleanser: Cosrx low-pH good morning gel cleanser Great gentle cleanser for everybody getting into skincare.
Moisturizer: The Ordinary Moisturizer Great moisturizer for both novices and professionals alike. Simple and incredibly cheap. Lots of the Ordinary products are effective and cheap.
Sunscreen: Australian Gold SPF 50 Big bottle for small price. Maybe I bit too much for people with more oily skin, but it's good enough for me. I'm almost done with it and will likely try something else, but this was pretty decent. Leaves no white cast, but is purple as you run it in. Pretty interesting.

Its God sent! Super light, cleans the gunk without making skin taut and dry + Has the perfect PH balance which helps maintain healthy skin barrier. You won't regret this, tried and tested after several cleansers.

Alternatively, you may try Hyda Labo Hyaluronic Cleansing Foam https://www.amazon.ca/Rohto-Gokujyn-Hyaluronic-Cleansing-160ml/dp/B01CE5P580/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3GSC1UQ0J0U4B&keywords=hada+labo+cleanser&qid=1551854964&s=beauty&sprefix=hydra+labo+clean%2Cbeauty%2C146&sr=1-1

Hope this helps :)
I tried something that would last you 2-3 months for $30. Sunscreens would be like $10 per month if you would like to add.
Salicylic acid - Stridex
Lotion - CeraVe
Sunscreen - There’s many discussions here so you can search on your own. Just avoid purito since their actual spf is 20-30. Honestly it is not bad as a daily sunscreen for a person that isn’t on tret/accutane.
The ordinary has good stuff, but their salicylic acid products are always out of stock and free shipping minumum is $25.
A lot of folks who think they have oily skin actually just need to moisturize. I set my boyfriend up with this wash and this moisturizer a little while ago and he's liking them a lot. They're also both very gentle.
To start you need a cleanser and a moisturizer and a sunscreen at a minimum. I recommend the CosRx low pH good morning gel for a cleanser. I’ve never seen it sold in stores. I buy mine on Amazon. The Cerave moisturizers are well liked and can be found just about anywhere. I like Biore watery essence for a sunscreen because it’s matte and doesn’t cause acne and can be worn under makeup but Neutrogena makes a good one that works for most people too. You can add serums for skincare concerns like acne, redness, uneven skin texture/color, or wrinkles but you don’t have to.

Don't worry, just focus on healing it! I really wanna recommend that you use a low pH cleanser on your back. This was critical for me clearing up my bacne, because it helps maintain the acid mantle on your skin that fights off P. acnes, the acne-causing bacteria, among others. My personal favorite that I have used on both my face and back is from a South Korean brand called CosRX. Their products are used by pretty much EVERYONE in the /r/asianbeauty and /r/skincare communities, so a lot of people can speak for this cleanser's efficacy. It's low pH and contains tea tree and a gentle form of salicylic acid. I've gone through 4 tubes, easily.

If you have any questions, let me know!
My cleanser is Good Morning Low-Ph Gel Cleanser, I don't usually moisturize as it makes my face feel stuffy and more oily than it does, I've only recently started using sunscreen and it's the Biore Watery Essence Sunscreen. I basically use sunscreen as a moisturizer/lotion.
I haven't tried this myself (it's next on my list to try), but I heard really good things about the COSRX Low pH Good Morning Cleanser. Here's the link on Amazon
Just started Accutane (Claravis), 60mg/day yesterday, and have changed up my routine recently based on lurking around this sub and r/Accutane. Any general comments/feedback would be much appreciated!
Skin type: Oily for sure, but I am positive it's about to become dry with the Accutane. In changing up my routine a few weeks ago, I tried to pick products that seemed to work for people with both skin types generally (maybe just with different frequencies of use) so I could use them before and after I finish the course.
Current routine:
AM
Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser to cleanse
Klaris Supple Preparation Facial Toner for toner
Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Multi-Purpose Balm Cream for moisturizer
Sun Bum SPF 30 fPVNM Sunscreen, Original Face Stick -- I know it's not the best, but I live in Portland/Seattle so the need is not as dire as in other places
PM
Lush Ultrabland to remove makeup Remove makeup
Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser to cleanse
Usually after cleansing I use a mask -- I had been using more acne-targeting masks, but since I am switching to sheet masks, which I used to only use occasionally. Right now, I have Benton Snail Bee High content Sheet Mask Pack and Dermal Korea Collagen Essence Full Face Facial Mask Sheet, but I also really like Origins Drink Up-Intensive and Cosrx Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Mask. When I need spot treatment, I am obsessed with Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch
Then I go back and do -- Klaris Supple Preparation Facial Toner for toner
Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Multi-Purpose Balm Cream for moisturizer
Edit: I used to use (and still have left some) of Lush's Herbalism. I am not sure I should keep using it on Accutane, since it exfoliates, but any commentary on that would be appreciated!
Hi there!
I just wanted to let you know that Automod has removed your comment because it contains Amazon referral links, which we don't allow in the sub.

I'm going to be 30 this year, and I think it's time to really ramp up my skin care routine. Right now it's pretty basic, so I'm interested in adding a syrum or another moisturizer that might plump and tighten things up. I also just got a humidifier to use in my room at night. I don't really have any wrinkles, but I have some faint smile lines that are starting to rear their ugly faces.
Looking for product suggestions :)
Thank you for replying!
Here is everything i've picked out (all recommended by the users here in ScA)
Cleanser: Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser 150ml by Cosrx
Exfoliate: Gycolic Lactic AHA/BHA Clarifying Cleanser C2 (150ml Mild Citrus Scent
Spot removal: Naissance Neem Oil 250ml Certified Organic 100% Pure
Moisturiser: Oilatum Natural Repair Face Cream 50ml
I got all these todays, and ive just done my first ever routine. Neem oil has a very peculiar smell. Kinda smells like cinnamon and fish combined. Gross but if this is the cost of clear skin, so be it.
So when i apply the cleanser do i wait like a few minutes for it to dry on my face? or do i wash it out? And do i apply neem oil before or after the moisturizer? if i apply it before, should i do it straight after i apply the neem oil (or vice versa)
Thank you for helping a noob!

I've been thinking about switching my cleanser to the Cosrx Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser for both day and night. I also wanted to give either the Cosrx Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion or the Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All in one cream a try for both day and night. I believe the Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF 50 would be a solid choice in sunscreen.
I would greatly appreciate any help with my routine or other product recommendations!
Just wanted to messaged that all my products arrived! In my package, I got:
Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel
Hadalabo JAPAN Skin Institute Gokujun premium hyaluronic solution
Banila Co. - Clean It Zero - Purity
Currently the only one im missing left is a hydrating cleanser, do you know any recommendations?
How would I also approach on the patch testing? Also should I patch test one at a time?
I'm still trying to find a cleanser for the double cleansing, i'm eyeing the recommendations like this and this what do you think?
I have normal/dehydrated skin with a lot of erythema, and I get papules on my forehead. I struggled with drug store skincare for years and years. In the last few years I have switched to Asian skincare I buy from Amazon/eBay/RoseRoseShop.
Many low pH ABers use COSRX Low pH Cleanser as a starting point because it's a good product and cheap. I use Sulwhasoo Snowise EX Cleansing Foam because I was lucky enough to pick up a big bag of samples off of eBay, enough to last me years ^____^
Personally, I am currently using the following products. Bold products I absolutely could not live without and will endlessly repurchase.
First Cleanser: Mineral Oil (to remove makeup) from iHerb, super cheap.
Second Cleanser: Sulwhasoo Snowise EX Cleansing Foam (to remove oil) from eBay.
Actives: Finacea a few times a week, all over my face except eyes and lips. Hylamide C25 Booster (vitamin C) every 2-3 days.
First Essence: COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence OR Hadalabo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Moist lotion. These products enhance the penetration of the following steps. They are what we would call toner, but they're not astringent at all.
Serum: Shark Sauce from holysnails.com. Lightweight serum with no bullshit. A little expensive at $30 USD for 30ml, but worth it.
Ampoule: Shara Shara Honey Bomb ampoule from eBay, expensive and will replace with dupe Scinic Honey All In One Ampoule from amazon. Otherwise in love with the Honey Bomb and will repurchase forever. Seriously, this is my favourite product of all and comes in a HUGE jar.
Light Moisturiser: Mizon Snail Repair AIO Cream from Amazon. Only suitable for Summer use, too light otherwise. Might remove from my regimen, maybe. We'll see after this coming Summer.
Light Moisturiser: Mizon Black Snail AIO Cream from Amazon. Heavier version of the above cream. Love <333
Final AM Moisturiser COSRX Ultimate Moisturising Honey Overnight Mask from Amazon/RoseRoseShop/eBay. This says "overnight" but it's great under makeup as it is a gel that doesn't dry sticky. I only use this during the day.
Final PM Moisturiser: COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Mask from Amazon/RoseRoseShop/eBay. This is the rice version of the honey "overnight mask" above. It is a bit heavier and tackier and I use this at night. It "sets" my layers of skincare.
AM Sunscreen: Shiseido Senka Mineral Water Gel SPF 50+ PA+++ from Amazon in bulk. HG sunscreen, foreverrrrr.
I slot other moisturisers in or omit steps as needed, depending on how my skin feels that day. I'm currently trying out Joseon Dynasty Cream from Amazon, which many people rave about but I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I slot it after the Black Snail AIO Cream but before the COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Mask.
I also use sheet masks after the Mizon AIO cream step, before the heavier moisturisers step. The sheet mask keeps my skin moist for longer, helping the serum and moisturiser to soak in better.
The Issue: My face is red all over, dry in certain spots, and oily in my T-Zone. I never used to have a problem with acne until I was about 22 and now I have adult acne. I seem to try new products all the time with the intention of trying one, knowing it works with my skin and sticking to it, but that never seems to be the case, they all react wrong. I picked at my chin a bit, I never used to pick either until one time I picked and a dried weird thing came out, and I know it's bad but I just can't leave them be. My pores are getting bigger, I'm starting to get spots that last after it's healed, my "rosy" cheeks are just busted capillaries... Here's my face in all of its glory: [link]
I don't separate from morning and night in my current routine. I was reading up on here that maybe I needed a pH balanced face wash so I started using this: [link]
Before I was using Acure's exfoliating scrub but thought I was exfoliating too much so I switched to coconut oil. Coconut oil seemed to work alright, but then when I ran out I switched to fractionated coconut oil because it seemed it would be easier to use a pump in the shower but it doesn't seem to be working. Nothing covers the red. After this summer I used SPF every day, a Cerave, then I lost it. I got a Mizon BB cream with SPF in it, but the way it attaches to my skin doesn't look good but I've been using it anyway. I use Mizon Snail Repair cream as well. I don't know if it's working. I don't know what to do anymore, it seems like every time I try something new I shouldn't be trying it but nothing works. Maybe I'm just getting older, but I hate my red skin.
I live in Rapid City, South Dakota.
