## Key benefits

- Menthyl lactate lends a brief cooling feel on application
- Betaine salicylate and tea tree leaf oil suit congestion-prone skin

## How it works

Oily, blemish-prone skin often ends up with stripping cleansers that leave it tight and, paradoxically, more reactive. This gel cream opens with Propolis Extract and aloe and green tea leaf waters instead of a heavier oil base. Niacinamide and zinc PCA sit further down to support a more balanced look, while betaine salicylate and tea tree leaf oil address congestion. Used consistently, shine and tightness tend to settle together. Apply a thin layer as the last step, morning and night.

## How to use

1. Use the AC Collection Lightweight Soothing Moisturizer as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum.
2. A pea for the face, warmed between fingertips and pressed in rather than rubbed around.
3. Serum first, this second, then sunscreen in the morning; at night it closes the routine.
4. Twice a day. Do not skip it because skin feels oily; a gel cream is the layer that holds the water the steps under it brought in.

## FAQ

### What kind of skin is the AC Collection Lightweight Soothing Moisturizer built for?

Propolis Extract opens the list, followed by aloe leaf water and green tea leaf water, with niacinamide appearing eighth and zinc PCA further along. That combination points toward a moisturizer meant for oily or blemish-prone skin that still needs comfort rather than pure oil control. Betaine salicylate and tea tree leaf oil near the end of the list reinforce that this is aimed at congestion-prone rather than dry skin.

### Is this formula gentle enough for skin that reacts easily?

Fragrance, denatured alcohol, paraben, sulfate surfactants, mineral oil, and added colourant are all absent from this bottle's own list. Menthyl lactate does deliver a brief cooling sensation on application, which some very reactive skin finds noticeable rather than soothing. If cooling sensations are a known trigger, patch test on a small area before applying it to the full face.

### How long before this moisturizer visibly helps with breakout-prone skin?

Niacinamide and zinc PCA work gradually on the look of oiliness and tone, so most people notice a calmer, less shiny appearance after a couple of weeks of steady use rather than overnight. The propolis and green tea water base soothes on contact, but that surface comfort is not the same as the slower balancing effect further down the list. Skip days and the buildup simply resets, so daily use matters.

### Can I layer this under a spot treatment or sunscreen?

The formula reads as a lightweight, oil-free gel cream with no acids of its own, so it sits comfortably underneath a separate spot treatment or a mineral or chemical sunscreen without fighting either for room on the skin. Apply this moisturizer first as the last skincare step, then let it settle before layering sunscreen or a targeted product on top. Watch for any interaction if the spot treatment itself contains a strong acid.

### How do I know this bottle is real Korean-market COSRX stock?

The barcode printed on this bottle, 8809598450912, is a genuine, verifiable Korean-market code, not a substitute number. COSRX handles authentication itself through a page on cosrx.com where you enter the batch number and expiration date straight off your own unit. That check bypasses us entirely, which is exactly why COSRX built it that way.
