Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning

Zinc PCA (or "zinc salt") differs slightly from zinc itself. PCA stands for pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. However, Zinc PCA comes from zinc.

It can help reduce redness, regulate sebum, and promote the general healing process of the skin.

Zinc PCA tends to be especially useful for those with oily, acne-prone skin. It's certainly an ingredient worth trying out!

Smells good and cleanses really well. If your skin barrier is weakened and sensitive at the moment, it can sting a tad. When using, you should soak the cotton pad full of micellar water in order not to scratch your skin with the friction. Overall, I like this product but it does leave some kind of a sticky finish before settling on the skin, though!

My favorite way to cleanse in the morning!
I have dry but acne prone skin, so I really wanted to find a way to cleanse my skin in the morning without also stripping my skin of every ounce of moisture it has. I’ve been testing micellar waters for awhile now, but so far this one by COSRX is my favorite! It feels a little more hydrating than some of the others I’ve tried (Bioderma and Garnier), and Show more

I use this for cleansing in between morning and evening face washes. It's especially good after coming home from work or school and it's too early to do your full night routine. I don't want sweat, sebum, and city gunk sitting on my face for hours. This gentle cleanser handles that and contains zinc which I've found to be great for acne-prone skin. I put this in a foaming dispenser and apply it Show more
