Introduction
Tired of stubborn blackheads? Introducing COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid, your key to a clearer, smoother complexion!
This powerful exfoliating solution is formulated with 4% Betaine Salicylate (BHA), a gentle yet effective way to:
- Decongest Pores: Say goodbye to clogged pores! BHA penetrates deep within your pores to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells, minimizing their appearance.
- Reduce Blackheads: Clinically proven to tackle existing blackheads and prevent future breakouts.
- Brighten & Refine: White Willow Bark and Niacinamide work together to brighten your skin tone and even out texture, leaving your complexion radiant and healthy.
- Hydrating Power: Sodium Hyaluronate provides a boost of hydration, ensuring your skin feels refreshed and never stripped.
How to Use:
- Cleanse and Tone: Start with a clean face. Apply toner (optional) after cleansing to prep your skin.
- Apply the Liquid: Dispense a small amount of the liquid onto a cotton pad or your fingertips. Swipe a thin layer over your entire face, paying special attention to congested areas like your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and any blemishes you want to target.
- Gentle Does It: Pat the liquid gently into your skin to promote absorption. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Less is More: Since this is a concentrated formula, start slow! Begin by using it only once a week. Once your skin adjusts, you can gradually increase to two to three times a week.
- Nighttime Application: It's recommended to use this product at night before your usual PM routine. BHAs can increase sun sensitivity, so applying SPF the next morning is crucial.
- Sun Protection is Key: Always apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning, especially when using this product.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key ingredients in COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid, and how do they benefit the skin?
The COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is formulated with several active ingredients:
Betaine Salicylate (4% BHA): A gentle exfoliant that penetrates deep into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum, effectively reducing blackheads and preventing future breakouts.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it helps soothe the skin and enhances the effectiveness of BHA.
Niacinamide: Also known as Vitamin B3, it brightens the skin tone, reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, and improves overall skin texture.

These ingredients work synergistically to exfoliate, brighten, and hydrate the skin, leading to a clearer and more radiant complexion.
How should I incorporate COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid into my skincare routine?
To effectively use the COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid:
Cleanse and Tone: Begin with a clean face. After cleansing, you may apply a toner to balance the skin's pH.
Application: Dispense a small amount of the liquid onto a cotton pad or your fingertips. Gently swipe or pat it over your entire face, focusing on areas prone to blackheads and congestion, such as the T-zone.
Absorption: Allow the product to fully absorb into the skin before proceeding to the next steps of your routine.
Frequency: Start by using the product once a week. As your skin builds tolerance, you can gradually increase usage to two to three times per week.
Sun Protection: Since BHA can increase skin's sensitivity to sunlight, it's crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day.
Consistency is key. Regular use, combined with proper sun protection, will yield the best results.
Can COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid be used on sensitive skin?
While the COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is formulated to be gentle, individuals with sensitive skin may experience irritation. It's advisable to perform a patch test before full application. Start by using the product once a week, observing how your skin reacts. If no adverse reactions occur, you can gradually increase usage. Always follow with a moisturizer to maintain skin hydration and apply sunscreen during the day to protect against increased sun sensitivity.
Are there any ingredients I should avoid combining with COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid?
To prevent potential skin irritation, it's recommended to avoid using the COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid in conjunction with other strong actives, such as:
AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids): Combining AHAs and BHAs can over-exfoliate the skin, leading to irritation.
Retinoids: Both retinoids and BHAs promote cell turnover; using them together may cause excessive dryness and sensitivity.
Vitamin C: While beneficial individually, using Vitamin C with BHA can sometimes lead to irritation due to differing pH levels.
If you wish to incorporate these ingredients into your routine, consider using them at different times of the day or on alternate days to minimize potential irritation.
Is COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid suitable for all skin types?
The COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is primarily designed for individuals with oily and combination skin types prone to blackheads and congestion. However, those with dry or sensitive skin can also use the product with caution. It's essential to monitor your skin's response and adjust usage accordingly. Always follow with a hydrating moisturizer to maintain skin balance and apply sunscreen during the day.
Can I use COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
It's generally recommended to avoid using BHA products during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to potential risks associated with salicylates. Consult with your healthcare provider or dermatologist before incorporating any new skincare products into your routine during these periods.
