COSRX Collection Calming Liquid Intensive 125ml

The COSRX Collection Calming Liquid Intensive is a multi-acid exfoliating treatment designed to balance and clarify the complexion. Formulated as a lightweight liquid, it works to decongest pores, smooth skin texture, and promote a more radiant appearance through gentle chemical exfoliation. The product is intended for daily use as part of a skincare routine, typically applied after cleansing and before moisturising. The formula centres on COSRX's proprietary Intensive Acne Care complex, which combines alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), glycolic acid, and propolis extract with zinc PCA. This blend works synergistically to dissolve dead skin cells and sebum that can clog pores, while the zinc PCA helps to regulate oil production and soothe irritation. The inclusion of propolis, a resinous substance collected by bees, adds antioxidant and calming benefits, making the exfoliation process less likely to cause redness or sensitivity. This treatment is best suited for those with combination, oily, or acne-prone skin looking to address concerns like enlarged pores, uneven texture, and dullness. Its gentle yet effective formulation makes it appropriate for regular use, where it can help maintain clearer skin and prevent future breakouts. Users should incorporate it gradually and always follow with sunscreen during the day, as AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.
