COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid 100mL

Why it's here: the exfoliant that cleared a generation of blackheads, and gentler than it sounds.

BHA Blackhead Power Liquid uses betaine salicylate, a milder cousin of salicylic acid, to loosen the sebum and dead skin that sit in pores. Used a few nights a week, pores look clearer and skin feels smoother. The texture is a thin liquid you pat on; no scrubbing involved.

Key ingredients

• Betaine salicylate (BHA) 4%
• Niacinamide
• Willow bark water

How to use

Every other night after toner: pat a thin layer over the T-zone or the whole face, wait 15 to 20 minutes, then continue. Start twice a week and build up. Sunscreen every morning.

Good for

Oily and combination skin with blackheads, clogged pores or rough texture.
