Review: COSRX Low pH First Cleansing Milk Gel

UPDATED REVIEW: COSRX Low pH First Cleansing Milk Gel



Hey ya! 💋  Here's another one from COSRX. It's their Low pH First Cleansing Milk Gel. Your first step to skincare. Everytime COSRX releases a new product I always got curious to try it. 😜 I already tried and tested some of their products and they really works wonders on my skin. 😊

I bought mine online (Shopee) about two weeks now, and tried it right away (just in time where I had makeup on) and yes I expected the Cosrx Milk Gel Cleanser as the first step on skincare (makeup remover). I only used a cushion foundation, a lip tint and did my brows. Sorry that I haven't taken a photo of me for you to see how it performs.😔 It does a pretty decent job on removing my makeup, and though there's a plenty of oils (fruit and flower oil extract) on the ingredients it did not leave any greasy feels and irritation on my face, but it does sting a little bit on my eye are. My face feels supple and brightened after I wash it off. I already tested the product for straight 2 weeks and it didn't break me out.

A silky cleansing milk that gently melts away base makeup, dirt and excess oil, without any greasy residue.

Directions: For best results, apply directly to dry skin before a foam cleanser. Massage evenly over face and rinse with warm water.

Ingredients: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dipropylene Glycol, Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, 1,2-Hexanediol, PEG-7 Glycerlyl Cocoate, Arginine, Carbomer, Capryl Glycol, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Allantoin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Butylane Glycol, Cyclomethicone, Disodium EDTA, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Hamamelis Virginia (Witch Hazel) Extract.

I love that it came from a squeeze tube bottle, I find it more hygienic than the regular ones with a scoop in a jar. So it's a plus. 😉 I heard that it is comparable to the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser (I cannot attest to that cause I don't have that product 😐). But on the price side, Cosrx Low pH First Cleansing Milk Gel (I bought mine at Shopee with a discounted price at 695.00php) ranges from 700-850php and is way cheaper than the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser that retails 1200php-1500php.


Consistency: Milk Gel, light, and silky
Scent: Citrusy Fresh

I tested it once again using different makeups on my wrist to show how it performs.

Left to Right: Tint, Foundation, Waterproof Eyeliner and a Matte Lipstick Smudge-proof and Kiss proof (I let them dry first)

Pour a generous amount like I usually would

After wiping it off with a tissue

The product did it's job on its claim that "gently melts away base makeup, dirt and excess oil, without any greasy residue". It did removed the lip tint, foundation and the waterproof eyeliner except for the matte liquid lipstick that stays put on my wrist. In my opinion and base on my experienced the best way to remove or melt away thorough makeup like matte liquid lipstick and waterproof mascara is to used an oil based makeup remover instead then follow-up with your second step cleanser. 

On to the Pro's and Con's:

Pros: 

- Gentle

- Not heavy 

- No greasy feels/residue

- Melts away makeup

- Removes excess dirt and oil

- Non irritating

Cons: 

- Not locally available

- Can only buy online

- Does not removed matte liquid lipstick and waterproof mascaras (used an oil based cleanser instead) 

-It does sting my eyes 😢 (I tried removing eyeliner and mascara from it and open my eyes, yeah! it does sting sad to say)

Rating: 5/5

Would I Recommend it.?: If your looking for a tube type milk gel cleanser that performs well in melting away your base makeup without any greasy feels and residue and that would save your wallet GO FOR IT! You probably want to consider buying the COSRX Low pH First Cleansing Milk Gel. 

See you on my next! 💕
