COSRX Triple Hyaluronic Moisturizing Cleanser 150ml
Description
The last five minutes of the evening, made easy.
Dense, cushioned lather. The real soap kind.
What this cleanser does
A 150 ml cleanser, formulated to hold water in the surface, soften the surface and calm the look of redness.
A soap-based foam, by formulation
The cleansing system here is saponified: Stearic Acid, Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, Palmitic Acid, neutralised with an alkali. That is what produces dense, cushioned lather rather than the thin foam a detergent system gives.
Worth knowing if you deliberately avoid soap-based cleansers.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Hyaluronic Acid | Glycosaminoglycan. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid | Hyaluronic acid of reduced molecular weight. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| 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. |
| Panthenol | Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; 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. |
| Stearic Acid | C18 saturated fatty acid. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells; sets how thick it is. |
| Myristic Acid | C14 saturated fatty acid. Listed as fragrance, opacifying agent, surfactant (cleansing). |
| Lauric Acid | C12 saturated fatty acid. Listed as fragrance, surfactant (cleansing). |
| Palmitic Acid | C16 saturated fatty acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells; keeps oil and water from separating. |
| Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate | Amino acid surfactant. Listed as hair-conditioning agent, surfactant (cleansing). |
| Coco-Glucoside | Alkyl glucoside. Listed as surfactant (cleansing), skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous), surfactant (emulsifying). |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate among others — draw water into the surface. Emollients and lipids — Stearic Acid and Palmitic Acid — sit on top and slow how fast that water leaves. Panthenol works on the look of redness.
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
Worth checking before you buy: soap-based (saponified) cleansing system.
