COSRX Red Rice Inositol Pore Clarifying Deep Cleanser 150ml
Description
One round. No second cleanse to negotiate.
It lifts because the fibre gathers, not because you pressed harder.
What this cleanser does
A 150 ml cleanser, formulated to hold water in the surface, calm the look of redness and soften the surface.
How it lifts, and why that matters
Exfoliants usually make you choose. Scrubs work by abrasion, so the result depends on how hard your hand presses. Acid peels work by lowering pH, so the result depends on what your skin tolerates.
This one does neither. Cellulose sits at number 4 on the ingredient list — plant-derived polysaccharide fibre; absorbent, bulking agent, slip modifier. The fibre gathers and carries loose surface cells with it as you massage, so how it feels does not depend on how hard you press.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Niacinamide | Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top; studied for evening out tone; studied for breakout-prone skin. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate | Acetylated hyaluronate salt. Listed as humectant. |
| Panthenol | Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Ceramide NP | Ceramide 3. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own. |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Betaine | Amino acid derivative from sugar beet. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate | Amino acid surfactant. Listed as hair-conditioning agent, skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous), surfactant (cleansing). |
| Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate | Amino acid surfactant. Listed as hair-conditioning agent. |
| Glycol Distearate | Glycol diester. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (occlusive), viscosity increasing agent (non-aqueous). |
| Cellulose | Plant-derived polysaccharide fibre. Listed as absorbent, bulking agent, slip modifier. |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin and Betaine among others — draw water into the surface. Panthenol works on the look of redness. Ceramide NP sits on top and slow how fast that water leaves.
Humectants and emollients and lipids are the pairing that matters here: water pulled in by one, held there by the other. That is the difference between skin that feels comfortable an hour after application and skin that feels comfortable at bedtime.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin type.
How to use it
- Daily Cleanser : Dispense an appropriate amount into your hands and lather with water.
- Gently massage over the entire face, then rinse thoroughly.
- Wash-Off Pack : Apply a generous layer to a dry face, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
- Leave on for 1–2 minutes, then gently massage while rinsing off with lukewarm water.
The first step is the one most people skip. A fibre exfoliant needs friction against skin to gather; on a wet face it slides instead. If it has ever failed to roll for you, that is usually why.
