COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

Trying out this cult fave!

Product description: The BHA Blackhead Power Liquid gets rid of dead skin cell and blackhead within the pores and prevents oxidized sebum from turning into blackheads while hydrating the skin.

Volume: 100ml in a white transparent bottle with a black pump and cap

Scent: This has a sweet but subtle chemical-like smell which eventually fades.

Ingredients: The BHA Blackhead Power Liquid has mixed a natural BHA ingredient, 4% Betaine Salicylate which can help clean out your pores, and your skin get smoother and glossy as time goes by. This also has willow bark extract and niacinamide that help brighten and even out skin tone. (Full list of ingredients in a photo below)

Directions: 1. After morning or evening facial wash, in the toner and essence stage, spread a coin-sized amount lightly on parts with much dead skin cell or blackheads.
2. Spread thinly on the whole face for smooth skin texture (in the usage of cosmetic cotton, clean off by rubbing as if massaging).
3. Avoid undereye area and use sunscreen as well in daylight.

Times used: I first used this at night for twice a week initially then every other night for a month now.

Skin reaction: None

Price: Around 15 – 20 USD depending where you buy the product (Around 900 PHP)

Rating: 5/5

After trying out the AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid, I told myself I should also get the BHA Power Liquid too. I heard a lot of good reviews about this product and a most of the people I know who reviewed this swears by this product. If I was satisfied with my AHA Power Liquid, then the BHA Power Liquid is a must try. Unlike the AHA one which took almost a month for me to notice the changes it has done on my skin; in just a week, I noticed significant changes the BHA Power Liquid has brought. The smell of this product is way nicer than the AHA Power Liquid as well. This exfoliant can be used everyday but I started off with twice a week for my first week of use then continued using this every other day at night alternating with my AHA Power Liquid for a month now. I know you can use both together but I’m just being extra careful, both are still exfoliants and can dry out your skin when not used carefully. This is a clear liquid which isn’t sticky but close to water just a little thicker. Two pumps of this product is enough for my face and neck. After a month of use, I noticed my hyperpigmentation has lessened and the small bumps on my forehead have become less noticeable. I don’t really have blackheads but this has definitely helped out clean my pores. Also, my skin is brighter now. Now, I understand why this is a cult favorite!
