- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until all traces of the cleanser are gone.
- Follow immediately with your toner, essence, serums, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

- Second Cleanse: With your face still damp, apply the COSRX gel cleanser as you would in the morning (steps 2-4 above) to remove any remaining water-based impurities.
