i have no knowledge about acid until about recently when i accidentally stumbled upon fiftyshadesofsnail's blog. i don't even know about cosrx at that time. but looking at so many instagrammers bragging about it, well, i think it's worth to try. then i read about acids and decided probably i should join in the wagon. i'm 30 now.. so i think exfoliation should be in order. at first, i think the AHA is for me and the BHA definitely for my husband, but since it takes time to use acid, sometimes i lost when i should apply it to him. so i decided to try it myself. and i have to admit, i probably wrong for not needing the BHA. if you have no idea about acid, i suggest you google fiftyshadesofsnail's blog and read about it. she writes extensive blogpost about it and you should read it here .

and this is the description from wishtrend: exfoliate to prevent blackheads firsthand, brighten & whiten for a more even skin tone. fight off blemishes even before they happen. achieve and maintain smooth, soft skin.
the packaging: it's packaged in a frosted white plastic bottle with a pump and a transparent cap to seal the pump. there's a simple label at the front of the bottle in black background with white text indicating the name of the product.
the smell: i think it's odorless.. but it's me and my nose. it can't be trusted.
the product: it's a clear product, like water, just not as runny as water. just slightly. since it won't slip easily from the back of my hand the moment i poured it on my hand. easily absorbed onto my skin. doesn't leave sticky feeling.
the result: oh well, i've been using this for more than 3 months now, every other day. i don't have the diligence to wait the waiting time every day. as for now, i'm happy i tried it. i don't notice pores size downsizing though, but all i can say it helps shrink my acne. even the cystic one. soo yayy.. it helps. and lately i've noticed my skin becomes smoother and a little bit brightened. but since i'm pretty pale, i might be wrong. oh and i didn't use this step by step, means i straightly use this every other day, unlike the AHA. and i don't experience purging unlike the AHA too.
overall, if you think you need acid in your life, please do try this one. everyone keeps saying this one is better than paula choice and cheaper. since i never use paula choice, i have no saying about this. oh and if you're confused about the order of your skincare steps, google it. read a lot of blogs. all i can say acids or treatments come after toner and before everything else. go figure it yourself.
