BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

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.

Directions

1. Dispense the power liquid onto a cotton pad and swipe a thin layer of the liquid over cleansed skin, concentrating on congested areas (such as the T-zone and chin). Best used at night, because exfoliants can make the skin extra sensitive to sunlight.
2. Pat into the skin until fully absorbed.
3. Begin using only once a week and. Once your skin has adjusted to the exfoliant, increase to 2-3 times a week to decrease the visibility of pores and treat blemishes.
4. We suggest using a sunscreen on a daily basis when using chemical exfoliants.
5. People with an Aspirin will react poorly to the BHA in this product (betaine salicylate). Avoid using this product if you have an Aspirin allergy.
