[Cosrx] AC Collection Lightweight Soothing Moisturizer 80ml

1. Product Overview

A lightweight daily moisturiser designed to hydrate, soothe and refresh acne-prone skin while supporting a smoother, more balanced-looking complexion.

COSRX AC Collection Lightweight Soothing Moisturizer combines the brand’s Centella AC-Rx Complex with moisturising and skin-conditioning ingredients to provide comfortable daily care for oily and blemish-prone skin.

Its light, non-sticky finish delivers hydration without the heavy feel often associated with richer creams.

The formula features Propolis Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water, alongside Niacinamide, Zinc PCA and Betaine Salicylate.

Panthenol, Allantoin and Sodium Hyaluronate complement the formula with additional moisturising and skin-conditioning benefits.

The Centella AC-Rx Complex contains Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid and Madecassic Acid, ingredients associated with Centella Asiatica and used to support skin comfort.

Designed for daily use, this moisturiser provides a refreshing final step for skin concerned with excess oil, blemishes and uneven-looking texture.

2. Why We Chose It

At Glass Ritual, we recognise that acne-prone and oily skin still needs effective moisturising care.

We selected COSRX AC Collection Lightweight Soothing Moisturizer for its combination of lightweight hydration, blemish-prone skin support and ingredients relevant to excess sebum and congestion.

Niacinamide and Zinc PCA complement its oil-care positioning, while Betaine Salicylate contributes an exfoliating ingredient commonly used in formulations for congestion-prone skin.

The Centella AC-Rx Complex, Panthenol and Allantoin support the formula’s skin-conditioning approach.

Propolis Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water and Sodium Hyaluronate help provide moisture and maintain a comfortable skin feel.

Its refreshing texture makes it particularly useful as the moisturising step in a routine that already includes targeted cleansers, toners or serums for visible pores and blackheads.

It earns its place in our Pore Care & Blackheads Collection as a daily moisturiser, with an especially strong fit for our Acne-Prone Skin Collection.
