Key Features:

1. BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) – 4%:

   • The primary ingredient in this product is BHA (salicylic acid), which is known for its ability to exfoliate the skin inside the pores. BHA works deep within the pores to dissolve dead skin cells, excess oils, and impurities, making it particularly effective for treating blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores.

2. Cleanses Pores:

   • BHA’s ability to penetrate deep into the pores makes it a powerful ingredient for tackling blackheads and breakouts caused by clogged pores. It works by removing buildup and helping to prevent new blackheads from forming.

3. Gentle Exfoliation:

   • While BHA is effective at exfoliating, it’s also gentle on the skin. It helps promote cell turnover and smooth out rough skin, which can improve overall skin texture and clarity.

4. Niacinamide:

   • The formula also contains niacinamide (Vitamin B3), which helps reduce inflammation, calm redness, and strengthen the skin's barrier. Niacinamide also helps brighten the skin and regulate sebum production, making it helpful for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

5. Hydrating and Soothing Ingredients:

   • In addition to BHA, this product includes soothing and hydrating ingredients like sodium hyaluronate, which helps to hydrate and maintain the skin’s moisture balance while exfoliating.

6. Non-Irritating:

   • The formula is designed to be non-irritating, and it is free of parabens and sulfates, making it suitable for sensitive skin that might react to harsher exfoliants.

7. Fragrance-Free:

   • It’s fragrance-free, reducing the risk of irritation, especially for sensitive skin types.

Benefits:

• Unclogs pores by dissolving the buildup of dead skin cells and oil, effectively preventing blackheads and breakouts.

• Smooths skin texture by exfoliating the skin’s surface and encouraging skin renewal.

• Reduces excess oil production, which can be particularly helpful for those with oily or combination skin.

• Brightens skin and helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation over time.

• Hydrates the skin while exfoliating, preventing the dryness or irritation that can sometimes occur with chemical exfoliants.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing, apply a small amount of the COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid to a cotton pad or directly onto your fingertips.

2. Gently swipe or pat the product onto your face, focusing on areas where blackheads or clogged pores are most common (typically around the nose, chin, and forehead).

3. Allow the product to absorb into the skin for a few minutes.

4. Follow with your usual serum and moisturizer.

5. Use 2-3 times a week initially to avoid over-exfoliating, especially if you have sensitive skin. As your skin builds tolerance, you can use it more frequently.

6. Always wear sunscreen during the day, as BHA can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.

Ideal For:

• Oily and acne-prone skin that is prone to blackheads and clogged pores.

• Combination skin looking to control excess oil while exfoliating and refining the skin texture.

• Those looking for a gentle exfoliant that works deep in the pores without causing irritation.

Additional Tips:

• If you're new to chemical exfoliation, it's important to gradually introduce the product into your routine to avoid irritation.

• Pair with a hydrating moisturizer to balance the effects of exfoliation and maintain your skin’s moisture levels.

• Always use sunscreen during the day as chemical exfoliants can make the skin more sensitive to UV exposure.

This product is widely loved for its effectiveness in clearing blackheads and improving skin texture, making it an excellent choice for anyone dealing with clogged pores and breakouts.
