Birch sap is known to soothe irritation and is as such a helpful ingredient in skincare. Cosrx’s Oil-Free Ultra Moisturising Lotion is formulated with 70% of birch sap, which makes it a great product to calm irritated and sensitive skin. It has a silky gel-like consistency and is cooling when applied to the face.
The lotion can be applied either as the last step or just before the last step as its consistency makes it perfect for layering. If you have oily skin, you are likely to use this as a moisturiser because it is light-weight, but dry skin types will require another layer of moisturiser. It’s also possible to apply throughout the day or on troubled spots for spot treatment.
This bottle lasted me around three months and I used it twice a day as the penultimate step in my routine. My dry and sensitive skin took a beating this winter due to extremely dry winds and temperatures, and the lotion helped reduce irritation and some redness on my face. In my experience, the lotion immediately calms the skin down and it’s a product that definitely improves the skin over time. I’ve already purchased another bottle and I’m happily using it as part of my routine.
I would definitely recommend it to people who want to reduce any skin irritations as it certainly makes a difference and the product is very gentle and fast absorbing.
