COSRX BLACKHEAD POWER LIQUID

COSRX BLACKHEAD POWER LIQUID

BHA Blackhead power liquid has been a cult favorite since it hit the scene. Its results has also been compared to another popular product; Paula's choice BHA toner made with 2% salicylic acid. BHA blackhead power liquid is a fantastic alternative to latter made with 4%Betaine salicylate, a more gentler ingredient than salicylic acid. If you have ever had blackhead on your face(especially around your nose), it’s a most have in your skincare rotation.
Before I proceed, I need to define blackheads. Blackheads form when your pore remains open; the plug of dead skin cells and sebum gets exposed to air and turns it dark.
Now , DISCLAIMER: this product does not claim to “cure" blackheads but reduces the formation of it which is the best and realistic expectation to have when dealing with topical products targeting blackheads. The best and recommended treatment to removing blackheads is going in to see a skin therapist/esthetician to manually or extract blackheads. The combination of great professional visits and at home use of products like BHA blackhead power liquid delivers better results. .
