Cosrx COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

I struggle with clogged pores on my nose. I wouldn’t exactly call them blackheads, it would be more accurate to say I have a lot of dried up sebum that clogs the pores and if I don’t remove it then I get blackheads. Many of the products I’ve used have worked, but in turn caused a lot of damage to my skin barrier. After years of neglecting my skin due to depression my pores became very large and clog up within a few days if I don’t stay on top of things. This product has been a game changer. I find that it performs just as well as the Paula’s Choice Liquid Exfoliant, and at a portion of the price. I did find the product was not as drying as the Paula’s Choice either, but this product does feel a bit oily. If you use too much you’ll notice your skin feels a bit slick, so use sparingly, and really a little goes a long way. I have noticed not only does this shrink my pores, and diminish blackheads, but it also helps with extractions. I apply this product, allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes, then go in with my extraction tool and let me tell you…the amount of junk that comes out of my pores is insane! I’ve been able to remove some of the more difficult sebum plugs from my nose with little to no effort after using this product, and I’m referring to plugs that I haven’t been able to remove for months. Some of the pores that have been clogged I would try with tools, cleansers, exfoliants, and even my fingers but I would only damage the skin trying to remove them, and yet THIS👏🏻 PRODUCT 👏🏻 removed those stubborn little bastards effortlessly. I used my tool after applying this and the sebum plugs just glide right out in one piece. I had some really large ones in the crease of my nostrils come out that unbeknownst to me were so bad they looked similar to a grain of rice when I removed them. I had no idea how much junk was hiding deep inside my pores! This is powerful stuff! I’d like to note however, that I have pretty oily, resilient skin, and it takes a really strong product to cause damage to my skin, so where I haven’t noticed much drying or redness I do think that people with sensitive skin should use caution with this product and invest in a barrier protection cream to use in conjunction. There were a few times I over exfoliated with my spin brush and noticed some burning/redness on the sensitive parts so if you’re a person who reacts to stronger products you’re going to want something to combat that effect on your skin. But if you have normal to oily skin, and struggle with blackheads, whiteheads, sebum filaments, clogged pores and the like this is the product for you! I still have almost a full bottle of the Paula’s Choice and every single time I find myself reaching for this instead. I find it works better, and because of the price I don’t feel that I need to ration so carefully. I can just use what I feel I need to use without worrying what the dollar value of the amount of product I just applied was. It’s a nice big bottle that lasts forever, and the squirt cap seems to portion out the product perfectly! I can’t say enough about this product! I am so glad I gave it a try!

The consistency may seem watery, but upon application, it kinda feels between watery and gel (slime texture), but it easily dries down, so don't worry. It has a minimal to no fragrance, which I like. It does the job, I must say. Upon a week or two of using this product, I noticed that my blackheads and whiteheads minimized, FOR REAL, but not completely gone. As someone who struggles with blackheads/whiteheads/clogged pores, I must say this product is a good buy! You just have to be consistent on using it. Overall, I love this product!

This liquid has a consistency distinct from a toner, sitting between an oil and a serum, it doesn't dry quickly. I have many blackheads on my nose, which has been my insecurity. I noticed that while this power liquid didn't completely clear up my nose, it did reduce the number of blackheads!

I have had problems and insecurities about my open pores and acne marks eversince I was in highschool. It usually looks very gross with white heads or blackheads so I use a nose pore liquid and strip to clean out my pores. I usually get a lot of dirt out because of the pore strip but eversince I used this product from cosrx I noticed that the dirt has significantly decreased. I use this before I wear my make up so that there will be less dirt after I remove it. Overall its a very good product!

I have combination skin (dry cheeks, oily T Zone) and my nose pores had been so visible due to all the black and whiteheads caused by so much sebum. When I started using the blackhead power liquid, I noticed that my nose had gotten fewer blackheads after some time and that my pores had become slightly less visible. Note that this product is a powerful exfoliant so only use this at nighttime if possible. Use sunscreen the next day (or everyday for that matter). 😉
