October 29, 2019

Cleanser, Face skincare, Review

I’m not sure if I’m late to the party or this news just hit, but I just found out from Cosrx that they are in the process/ and or discontinuing their low pH first cleansing milk gel cleanser. So odd… I wonder why they are discontinuing it. I asked them directly but my source couldn’t give me an answer. The only explanation that I somewhat got was that it might not have been doing as well as they had hoped? This is only alleged but I’ll give my short two cents on it still in hopes of it returning for those who actually liked this product.

Since this product is discontinued, I’ll cut to the chase with my thoughts. I was always torn about this product, being in the middle with my feelings on whether I like this product or not. A lot of people were looking at the milk gel as an alternative to double cleansing and cutting out cleansing oil all together but I’m here to tell you that is not the case. I usually use this product if I have super light base make up on, but I would not rely on it to remove my waterproof eye make up.

Others asked if this is a good alternative to their low pH good morning gel cleanser since some people have complained that it dried them out due to the tea tree oil built into it. In that circumstance, I would say it is a good alternative since it is a whole lot more gentle and definitely does not dry your skin out.

This cleanser also doesn’t foam up nor does it really milk up after water has come in contact with it. Overall it was a decent product but it definitely was not their stand out product, so I could see why they cut it out of their line of products. I just hope for them to come out with a cleansing oil already!!!
