cosrx aha 7 whitehead power liquid

ah yes, i should've written this review first before the BHA one, but i forgot. oh well, probably because i don't like it as much as the BHA one. oh well, again, if you are not familiar with acids just yet, just google it.

apple water: an alpha-hydroxy acid naturally-occuring found in sugar cane and malic acid, derived from apples, which will help to exfoliate dead skin cells, reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun damage and hyperpigmentation, diminish the appearance of large pores and acne scarring. a great ingredient for reducing blackheads, whiteheads and troubles on skin. it even moisturizes the skin at the same time as removing dead skin cells. you will find your skin is smooth, soft, and comfortable. moisture, pore control, and brightening - it immediately purifies and tones up your skin leaving is clearer and more bright. whitehead clearance - no more difficulty removing whiteheads and sebum. AHA product with hyaluronic acid - it controls excessive sebum and achieves excellent moisture retention in combination with hyaluronic acid. AHA for repairing skin damage - works well for sun damaged skin. also it is good for spots, dryness and trouble.

the packaging: just like the BHA one, this one comes in a white frosted plastic bottle with a pump and a plastic cap to protect the pump. there's a sticker label on the bottle that indicates the name of the product. and a little bit english explanation. yay for that. oh, and the box has a lot of english descriptions and instructions. not just hangul. super yay..

the smell: well, fiddy from fiftyshadesofsnail said that this one smells like hell. yucky. but since i have bad nose, i can't pick it up. if you're sensitive about scent, and dislike smelly product, then skip it or pinch your nose when you use it.

the product: it's just like BHA, clear substances that runny just like water. it's adsorbed easily onto my skin and doesn't leave sticky feeling. with this one, i started it slowly just like snowwhiteandthepear suggested. i use it once a week for two weeks and two days a week for another two weeks and then every other day until now.

the result: although i've been taking it slowly, but i still experience purging from this one. and i didn't see any changes in my whiteheads nor anything else. it only gives me some acnes. i wonder if i've been using it wrong or else. but i keep using it nonetheless.. i hope it might do miracle for me.

overall, i do think AHA is suitable more for dry skin. i've been using it alone without BHA and it does nothing. and i tried BHA and i feel my skin's getting better. so that's why if you have dry skin, maybe this one for you. as for me, i won't use it alone without BHA.
