COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid, 100ml
Unlike its popular counterparts, the BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is formed with betaine salicylate rather than salicylic acid. Both are forms of BHAs, but the former is much gentler on the skin. The 4% concentration employed by COSRX has the same peeling effect as a ~2% salicylic acid formula, in that it'll reduce the appearance of pores, demolish blackheads and get rid of subclinical acne. However, it's not as drying or irritating on sensitive skin. We chalk it down to the inclusion of hyaluronic acid and panthenol in the COSRX formula, which encourages moisture retention.
If you've been wanting to use a BHA but have found other salicylic acid products unsuitable for your skin, try this. We've never looked back!
