COSRX 7% Glycolic Acid Whitehead Removing Power Liquid, 3.38 fl.oz, AHA Exfoliant, Exfoliating Toner for Face & Body, Pore Minimizer, Korean Skin Care

I have been using this for awhile now, and purposely waited a month or better to review this product to give a more accurate review. I really like this product. I had, up until this point, never used a chemical peel; so I was more than a little nervous about jumping into this sort of thing. Skin background, I had acne from pretty much age 12 and up. I'm 26 now, and for awhile my skin had gotten much better...around the 16 mark it started to slightly improve and by 20-something it wasn't a huge problem. I still had issues with some things (most moisturizers broke me out, I couldn't wear lipstick...ever. or...stains..or any kind. literally just if it went on your lips it broke me out.) but, for the most part, it was mostly handled. Then I had surgery at the end of last year, was on antibiotics for awhile, and on bed rest for a month or so while healing. My skin went stupid. I went from maybe one or two small zits occasionally (with hyperpigmentation) to all of a sudden 5-7 every few days. My entire chin was red, everything was just horrible and terrible. I had no idea what was causing it, medication, surgery, reactions, whatever. I tried cutting out various foods for awhile at a time, nothing helped. Cutting out sugar, caffeine, wheat, meat (at different times of course) - literally nothing made any difference whatsoever. So, last hope, I buy this. Again, chemical peels were the one things i hadn't tried before. So. This. It works so bloody good, man. I really can't say enough. This, plus taking fish oil omega 3's, has made a drastic shift in my skin. I am still oily, I feel I may be oily to the day I die, but as of right now I have 0 active zits on my face. Over say a week period (even DURING PMS) I've had a reduction of severity of about 98%. I can wear lipsticks and lipstains a lot easier with less problems, scars fade faster, pimples I do get last shorter. I'm in the camp that rarely if ever gets black heads, I always get kinds with whiteheads and it sucks - but this makes it suck a lot less. Other positive things, I HATE fake fragrance in things. I just hate it. This has none, and yes, it smells a tiny bit, but not terrible and it fades quickly. I have such oily skin, I put this AHA on twice a day, every day, and my skin actually feels softer after. It does not dry out my skin whatsoever, it does not make it more sensitive. If you have dry skin, you know, be careful about it, but for me ~oily mcoilslick~ it works great. If you have whiteheads, if you have oily skin, if you have sensitive skin, if you have hormonal acne, if you have acne that leaves you scratching your head because all of a sudden it decided to rain down upon your face like armageddon blasting down upon the once great planet - BUY THIS (and, also, maybe, try taking at least 500mg of omega 3s? omega 3s from fish oil specifically works well for me. primrose oil and flax and things like that haven't helped as much, but fish oil did. so, you know, just a mild suggestion to try out if you haven't already.) I have​ not been paid or compensated in any way for my review of this product, I did not receive the product free or for any sort fo discount - but, hey Cosrx, I will definitely do so if you send me more things because I am officially a fan..

I'll start by saying I'm a cosmetologist with 10 years of experience. I also have very sensitive oily skin, clogged pores, with blackheads, whiteheads, and a dull/sallow complexion. I've tried everything under the sun, with nothing ever working good enough for me to purchase it twice. I kept seeing all the raving about 10 step Korean skin care. I had 160 worth of free money is got using ibotta and Wal-Mart savings catcher so I used it to give the Korean method a try. I was terrified about doing a double cleanse with one oil based cleanser and one green tea foam cleanser, the thought of putting oil on my already greasy skin I thought was stupid, but I tried anyway. Along with the other steps, and I was even more put off about using a chemical exfoliant, as I'm used to manual gritty type. So I tried and actually am in my second month. I actually love taking the few extra minutes to pamper myself. My skin actually is never greasy anymore, my complexion is radiant with a beautiful glow, my blackheads and whiteheads are about 80% improved, I even used this exfoliant on one spot daily that was a sunspot I've had for 2 years actually made it go away. Using this exfoliant 3 times weekly onx the rest of my skin has helped helped to give me a clear radiant, glowing, smooth textured skin that I never knew I could have. I tried going without this product for one week to see if it was this product or the other combination, and I definitely noticed that my pores were starting to get full of sebum again. Another thing that I noticed is that if I use this product then a moisturizing mask or any mask that I absorb the product alot better. I'm 31 so I'm starting to get my first lines and smile wrinkles, I started using a dermaroller before using this exfoliant so I could better absorb, and now my first lines are completely gone. At 31 my skin now looks better than it did at 25. This is a definite game changer, and now that I've found it I will be a customer. I also sampled a few other products from this brand, and i liked them as well. The price is great considering the results this will deliver. I have not been paid or rewarded in any way to make this review, nor was I given the product. What I'm saying is 100 percent authentic because I hope another girl with my skin type can finally be confident about their skin like I am. Thanks so much for a great product, I'm now addicted.

Oh man, it's like a love and hate relationship with this product. The first month of using this product, I broke out on places that I never broke out before. I most usually have clear skin and occasionally break out on my forehead and a lot of comedones around my nose area to my eyebrows and was hoping this will clear that area out or reduce it. So the first month I used it, I started to break out but not with those oozing pimples, but those tiny pimples that weren't able to pop or squeeze. I got it all over my forehead and the side of my cheeks! I heard that when people first use AHA or BHA there's always a purge moment, so I stuck with it for a month and applied it every day. It came and went but after a month I got tired of these random pimples or bumps and rested my face for a couple of days. That's when I noticed that my face was starting to clear up and whoa, my face was clear, my original bumps ( the ones I wanted to get rid of in the beginning not the new ones that I was having) was reduced dramatically. My face was pretty clear, clearer than I ever had before. So a week or two past without me applying any AHA products and I noticed some pimples starting to form (hot weather I assume) and I applied the AHA that night and to my surprise, in the morning it was reduced and my face was a bit clearer. So I started to test out the product only when my face started to form pimples and applied it and noticed that every time that happened, my pimples reduced or vanished! Miracle product? So in conclusion, I would go lightly and slowly with this product, especially if you never used this product before. More isn't better with this product. My suggestion is so apply it every 3 days in the beginning and use a ph level face wash and ph level toner than apply the AHA and let it dry for 20 mins before applying another product. It's been a couple of months of me occasionally using this product every other day and it has kept my skin reduced those dorn comedones but not completely got rid of it. My pimples disappear in a day or two which is awesome. Also, don't use this product if you plan on going outside, it could result in a scaring.

This is the first AHA I've ever tried, but I have been so satisfied with the results that I don't feel the need to try another. I recently reintroduced this product into my skincare routine, and normally use it every other day. I was having an aggravating issue of tiny little bumps all over my forehead (I believe they were closed comedones) and they were drastically improved after just a couple weeks of using Cosrx AHA regularly. The bumps are almost disappeared now, and the overall appearance of my skin is much improved. I feel that my skin is a lot brighter and healthier looking now. I will definitely be repurchasing when I run out. This product is neither the gentlest nor the strongest AHA option on the market, but I think the formula is just right to balance ease of use with effectiveness. I have had no issues using it as often as every other day, and as I said, I have seen impressively fast results. However, this is an active product and in order to be used safely and effectively, you need to know how to use it: Like other active products like Vitamin C and BHA, this product should be applied on clean skin, BEFORE any other products like toner or moisturizer. And like other active products, you need to leave it on your skin to work before adding any other products—twenty or thirty minutes is a good rule of thumb. Because of this, many people use it in the nighttime routine instead of the daytime. The order of operations should be: oil cleanser (to remove makeup, sunscreen, natural oils accumulated throughout the day, etc.), regular cleanser, actives, THEN toners/serums/moisturizers/masks/etc. If you use multiple actives, the order they go in is Vitamin C, BHA, then AHA, while waiting in between for each. I do BHA and AHA on alternate days for convenience. The first time I used this product I experienced a moderate reaction to it, which caused my face to flush red for a little while. It didn't sting or burn, but some people have had that reaction too. As with all skincare products, it would be wiser to patch test before applying to your whole face. I didn't have another adverse reaction after that, but if you find that your skin is sensitive to this product you could try 1) starting with a low frequency, like once per week, and/or 2) using an AHA with a lower concentration of the active ingredient. I believe that other brands make a 2% product, which is quite a low concentration and may be more tolerable for some people.

Firstly, let me say I have mature skin which has basically been problem-free during adulthood. For some unknown reason, I had developed 4-5 whiteheads around my lip area that I wanted to rid myself of in the last year. Knew I should not try to squeeze them so researched how to treat. I purchased this item about 5 months ago and used as directed faithfully. There was no change to the majority of whiteheads, and one even got larger! Did the product improve skin-tone evenness…perhaps, but I have always used a quality skin care line and my skin looks good for my age. Regardless, I went yesterday to have the whiteheads professionally removed by my dermatologist. The jury is out on whether I would repurchase this product. Now that the whiteheads are gone, I will continue with my regular skin care regimen and see if my color, tone and evenness continue without using the product. I still have some liquid left if I need to go back to it while I await a reorder.

The COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid is a standout exfoliating treatment that works wonders in promoting clearer, smoother skin. This 100ml bottle is packed with 7% glycolic acid, an effective AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) that helps to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reduce the appearance of whiteheads and blemishes. The formula is designed to target uneven skin tone, texture, and clogged pores, leaving your skin with a brighter and more refined appearance. What sets this product apart is its lightweight, non-irritating formula. Despite the exfoliating power of the AHA, it’s suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, thanks to its gentle yet effective formulation. The liquid absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, making it easy to incorporate into both morning and evening skincare routines. Consistent use of the COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid can result in visibly smoother skin with fewer whiteheads and a more even skin tone. Ideal for those looking to tackle skin texture issues, this exfoliant is a must-have for anyone seeking a simple yet powerful addition to their skincare regimen. Highly recommended for those looking for a gentle but effective chemical exfoliant!

So obviously I wanted to wait to see if I'd get results and while this has not been my only skincare change I really think this product gets the majority of the credit. My skin is OK. Oily, mostly clear of acne but I had a lot of those closed bumps under my skin that I figured I just had to live with... Turns out no. My skin is more clear than it's ever been and I am amazed. (I'm panicking seeing that it's jumped in price by almost double since I bought it). I'd like to share my routine in case it helps anyone else. AM: cleanse skin -mornings I like mother dirt foaming cleanser 5 drops of dermadoctor kakadu vitamin c serum and Baebody eye gel PM: cleanse skin (I love the supercleanse from Glam Glow) - bring pH of skin to ideal level by using the Corsx AHA/BHA toner - even layer of corsx whitehead using my fingers (I was wasting so much product on my cotton rounds but if your skin is sensitive beware of your fingers peeling) - even layer of corsx blackhead. Only do this if your skin is very accustomed to acids. This works very well to clear congested skin. The whitehead alone is amazing but when paired with this the results are astounding - wait 30 minutes before applying the next step to let the acids work. The next product you layer may alter the pH of the acids making them less effective so give it some time to do its thing. - layer of Clinique's acne + line serum (I want to try the tea tree oil one on Amazon) - layer of Neutrogena Stubborn Acne Leave on mask - Baebody eye gel All of these products work well alone but together it's given me the best skin I've had in my entire life. This regime is not for people with sensitive skin but if you regularly use treatments on your skin I think you'd be OK with daily use. It certainly does for me with no drying or any unwanted effects. If the treatment is too harsh try every other day.

I recently decided to add AHA's and BHA's to my Asian beauty skincare regimen. I did some research, and this Cosrx AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid got great reviews, despite its unfortunate name. (Cosrx has since changed the name.) Because I already use and love a few other Cosrx products, I bought this. I have mature, oily skin, and the path to brighter, clearer, smoother skin is a slow one. Considering I only use this once a week, yes, progress will be slow. However, on the nights that I do use this, I feel like my skin does look clearer and brighter in the morning. It feels like the other products I put on after using this penetrate a little deeper and work just a little better. This AHA liquid looks like water, but feels slightly heavier and sticker than water. It does have a slight scent to it. It's not pleasant, but it's also not strong enough to make me not want to use this. The scent fades immediately upon application anyway, so it's no biggie unless you're super sensitive to those kinds of things. How I use it as part of my nighttime skincare routine: Double cleanse my face. Maybe use a peeling gel. Apply Benton's Aloe & BHA Toner with a cotton pad. Wait 10 minutes. Apply a couple of pumps of the Cosrx AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid, concentrating on T-zone and eye wrinkles. Wait 20 minutes. Continue with rest of skincare regimen starting with either a sheet mask or a first essence. Time seems to be the biggest factor in getting results with BHA or AHA liquids. If you just slap the next product on with out giving the AHA or BHA time to work their magic, you're wasting product and money. I hope that helps. I like my results with this Power Liquid so far. I'm pretty sure that I will re-order when I get near the end of my current bottle.

Absolutely brilliant ! i have suffered with black/white heads for 40 years. Tried every product under the sun. Saw a review of this product on tv. Tried it, my skin now is completely clear. It absolutely works for me !

snel geleverd en werkt heel goed tegen whiteheads

El AHA7 de COSRX me ha gustado mucho. Lo uso regularmente y noto cómo mejora la textura de mi piel, dejándola más suave y luminosa. Su fórmula es eficaz pero respetuosa, y no he tenido problemas de irritación. Me ha funcionado muy bien y definitivamente repetiré su compra.

Ich habe das Produkt gekauft, da ich mit meinen Ü30 Jahren, leider regelmäßig Probleme mit Unreinheiten habe. Zu meiner Haut, ich habe eine Mischhaut mit öligen trockenen Stellen (erst recht um die Nase herum, T-Zone und Kinnbereich). Durch andere sehr gute Bewertungen habe ich gelesen, das man das Produkt anfangs mit einem Wattepad auftragen sollte in ungefähr 2-3 Tagen Abstand. Bei mir brannte nichts, auch keine Irritationen waren aufgetreten. So wie in der Produktbeschreibung stand, habe ich es immer am Abend nach der Reinigung aufgetragen. Danach von dem gleichen Hersteller ein Serum sowie eine Creme, welche feuchtigkeit spenden. Nach nun über einen Monat des Gebrauchs kann ich sagen, es lohnt sich sehr. Um die Nase herum hat sich die Haut extrem verbessert. Keine öligen Hautschüppchen mehr. Das Gleiche gilt ebenfalls für die T-Zone und den Kinnbereich. Auch meine Unreinheiten lassen sich kaum blicken. Poren scheinen sich wieder zu verkleinen und fühle mich dadurch sehr viel besser. Zusätzlich finde ich es wichtig, das man täglich eine Creme mit einem guten Lichtschutzfaktor auftragen sollte. Bitte achtet darauf. Liebe Grüße

L’effet est vraiment visible : la peau est plus lisse, le grain de peau affiné et les pores semblent plus nets. On sent que ça nettoie en profondeur. En revanche, ça picote à l’application et ça peut dessécher si on en met trop ou si on l’utilise trop souvent. Il faut vraiment doser et bien hydrater après. À utiliser avec modération, mais les résultats sont là.
