COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is an exfoliating serum. The formula contains 4% Betaine Salicylate, a natural exfoliant derived from plants. It helps to dissolve impurities and debris from pores while clearing away dead skin cells. it also contains Hyaluronic Acid, Willow Bark Extract, and Niacinamide to hydrate and brighten the skin.

BHAs are oil soluble. They not only work on the skin’s surface, but also penetrate deeper and unclog pores and treat blemishes. This is why BHAs are preferred for those with normal to oily and clogged skin. BHAs have natural skin-calming properties, as well as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities and therefore can benefit those prone to redness and rosacea.

Ingredients we love:

• Betaine Salicylate : The combination of the BHA salicylic acid and betaine. It works as mild yet effective exfoliant and leaves skin soft and smooth.
• Niacinamide: Prevents the effects of aging in the skin by stimulating the synthesis of ceramides, improving the skin barrier, fading dark spots en diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.

COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid is a gentle chemical exfoliant with 7% Glycolic acid (AHA). It removes pore-clogging debris and dead skin cells, while simultaneously moisturizing your skin. AHAs are humectants, meaning they can retain moisture, hence they are preferred for dry and damaged skin. AHAs are derived from natural substances.
