COSRX Power Liquids Comparison: AHA Whitehead vs. BHA Blackhead

[@mikaichikiwelches]

I really appreciate that you add timestamps to your videos! Sometimes I'm looking for a specific part, and sometimes it's just nice to know what you'll be talking about in the video

[@RachelDee]

I struggle with texture and cell turnover more than acne. I recently got the AHA whitehead power liquid and it's EXACTLY what I was looking for. It's got goldilocks potency that potentially can be used a couple days in a row or more sparingly AND it's easy to layer underneath the rest of my steps. Plus the price point, ingredients, and no added fragrance!

[@kagstobio2271]

Hi can I ask what is ur skin type?

[@RachelDee]

@@kagstobio2271 Pretty normal. Apart from a lot of sun damage I got from living closer to the equator at a high altitude for a couple years. I think the texture is mostly from before I learned how to care for moisture barrier.

[@kagstobio2271]

Oh I have the same concerns about my skin like I have a textured skin but my skin type is oily so I don't know if I should buy the bha one for oily or the aha one for dry skin but thank u for answering..

[@RachelDee]

@@kagstobio2271 Maybe your skin needs a little alternating between both? Or a good combo product. But there's also overlap in that both AHAs and BHAs help with oil and texture to some degree. I've basically taken BHAs out completely because AHAs and hydration combat enough of the level of oiliness I experience. I think Niacinamide helps with oiliness too.

[@kagstobio2271]

I am 37 and have very dry skin. I was constantly struggling with really bad whiteheads and have had bad acne my whole life. I have used so many kinds of salicylic acid and nothing ever helped. I noticed a slight improvement went I ate better and used retinols. Then I found the Cosrx whitehead power liquid and it completely changed my skin. My whiteheads completely disappeared in a few weeks, I didn’t get new ones except for my time of the month. My skin was also more glowy and no where near as dry. I don’t know if that part was due to the product itself or helping products penetrate deeper, but it was what I had been looking for pretty much my whole life. Everyone skin is so different, but it could help other people who don’t get results they want from BHA’s like salicylic acid.

[@juidas1742]

Did it clear acne spots

[@mariamsyt]

this basically just convinced me to buy it we’re going through the same struggle ! can i ask what the other parts of ur skincare routine are like the basics such as cleanser moisturizer and sunscreen

[@ff_m3570]

Honestly i wish that stores and brands would just give out small samples of products because I always feel so bad when I buy products but I end up not using them because it irritates my skin. It’s a waste of my money and the products are usually so expensive 😢

[@wendytan4154]

I would even buy the samples if they were available

[@ff_m3570]

@@wendytan4154 they should totally sell samples!!

[@wendytan4154]

@@ff_m3570 totally agree… I hate to see the skincare products that are not suitable for me go to waste

[@kindzozodoinghaus9956]

I agree. I also feel bad having to throw the products away that i even try to usw them again as if it will be different this time around😢

[@amiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Why would it go to waste if it doesnt work in 30 days, return it for a refund.

[@pbjgurl]

Cosrx is a Korean brand. In Korea they can’t use salicylic acid above .5 percent without a prescription. So that’s why cosrx doesn’t use salicylic acid in their products.

[@ester24507]

I wanted to get the BHA but the store only had the AHA, so good to know they are not that different 😊

[@machoke666]

The Cosrx AHA is one of the few glycolic acid products my skin tolerates, it has a higher pH which is why. Lactic acid products can't be formulated below a pH of 5 in Europe so for the Europeans out there, don't bother with lactic acid, it won't do a whole lot for you. Glycolic acid, PHA's and mandelic acid will be more effective.

[@giuliabalestrieri9777]

YOU READ MY MIND I WAS GOING TO REQUEST THESE (also hi i love you and your channel abbey xx)

[@tiffanyrussell5040]

Very informative. Thanks for outlining the differences.. You always do a great job at explaining things

[@ncglam]

I use the BHA and it really helps my skin. 😍❤️

[@nayrbyoutube]

does it also fade hyperpigmentation?

[@pentiuminside1234]

It did nothing for my skin

[@celinasmestadtveter9264]

I just became interested in that brand, a few days ago! funny😊 Could you make a video about the overnight masks as well? U look so pretty😍 i really love your Hair!

[@arinamy6168]

I'm so so glad i found your video. Great information to help me understand and chose the right one for my skincare. Thanks a lot Abbey.

[@aaaaston]

These time stamps and thoroughness 🥰 i hit the sub button SO FAST

[@mariammushtaq7646]

Super useful explanation! I have mostly what I think sre whiteheads on my face, few blackheads on my nose. Should I get the BHA power liquid then? Since you said the chemicals inside will probably help both whiteheads and blackheads?

[@Blewbl]

That cute hairstyle really suits you Abbey! Also, I’m sure you heard about the new Purito SPF controversy...Do you have thoughts on this cult favorite considering the recent news?

[@AbbeyYung]

Thank you! 💞 yes I’ve heard 😓 I can no longer actively support/recommend the brand until they provide some sort of explanation. So upsetting!

[@benny7362]

hi Abbey! I absolutely love your channel💖 thanks for saving my skin during quarantine🥺😭

[@cristinavelarde8573]

been curious about this products, felt like that was gimmicky as well but glad to know they are actually good products even if similar

[@sadafmunir9460]

Please compare cosrx bha with Paula's bha exfoliant/sol......as Paula's is more expensive

[@marimara7418]

Love the video, i gonna buy the blackhead one, since i have oily skin. Thanks for the help!

[@EiLpigreco]

Literally binge watching your channel. So much knowledge 🥹

[@sydneymagerman8941]

Do you think whitehead one could help with blackheads and the blackhead one could help with whiteheads?

[@nizar8193]

First of all u just look stunning in here! , hair makeup skin , all on point 😍👏 i do have the BHA liquid and i cant be any happier , COSRX is just a cult ! their formulation , experience , ingredients , size they give u , all is just spectacular ! not only this BHA is gentle , it has Niacinamide as 4th ingredient !! and bunch of other hydrating ingredients !... mind blowing !!

[@ezny_hwa]

In your opinion, which one is more better for exfoliating skin at the same time can brighter out skin tone?

[@natrahlee2318]

If I decided to use both of them, how is the routine of using them in a week that you would suggest?

[@patriciabonifaz4736]

Hello Abbey! Did you hear about the Purito Centella Sunscreen?? Study showed it only has an spf of 19 😨😨😨 please tell me what you think!!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Happy Weekend, Abbey!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@user-ez2bs3fq1x]

I use the BHA in the evening and the following day skip and use bliss chemical exfoliant which has both. Because after you use the bha you will see whiteheads purging out.

[@sharonnelaballe]

can we use both COSRX Whitehead Power Liquid and Blackhead Power Liquid together in your skincare routine

[@habibismael9575]

Thank you for this review! Really enlightened me.

[@sanazaib963]

Your way of explaining is wonderful

[@NusratNoshin]

Idk if we're supposed to directly apply the product onto our skin like that, but I've been using the AHA 7 one for a while now, and the package says to soak and swipe a cotton pad on the face. Would appreciate your thoughts on this!

[@sandykhaw8040]

Appreciate if you could share your reviews for the AHA 7, as well as your skin type ? 🙏

[@NusratNoshin]

@@sandykhaw8040 For actual whiteheads it doesn't really do anything drastic. I think it's better to use BHA exfoliants instead if you want clean pores. However, it's a really good product for getting rid of dirt, oil, and surface level debris. Use a cotton pad.

[@victoriabrooke7970]

Dermatologist say not to use ahas with retinoids.

[@miraniraine]

This was really helpful. Thank you so much :)

[@niseu77]

should i buy the aha or bha since my skin is oily prone but i have whiteheads only? and cann i combine the corsx clarifying with either or those power liquid?

[@shesjustafriend9084]

I would buy the salicylic acid as it is oil soluble and can minimize excess sebum production I have oily skin as well and I use the bha for my skin

[@chandana5557]

Can I use bha blackhead remover with cosrx snail musin??

[@qeefthaqeefah4431]

Of course, the snail mucin acts like an essence, so u can use it a few minutes after applying the bha

[@jennyhard9068]

You know your stuff girl!

[@expensivepink7]

thank uuuu FOR THIS!!!

[@mah_vish]

Do we need to wash the face with water after applying chemical liquid exfoliators like AHA and BHA? Please Reply

[@mah_vish]

Can I use both on alternate days?

[@izzyn3lson]

this is so helpful thank you

[@salmankhancrazyfan1518]

Please I request you please tell me about cosrx AHA BHA clarifying toner

[@qeefthaqeefah4431]

Its milder, some may not find any effect, but it did work out for me, and its a perfect starter for acid beginners

[@Mrs_Canary]

What u think about purito sunscreen?

[@giuliabalestrieri9777]

How does the bha power liquid compare to the paulas choice 2% bha liquid?

[@stutishah7813]

Giulia Balestrieri the power liquid has a lower concentration of BHA than the paulas choice. the power liquid is better suited for for sensitive skin whereas the paulas choice has a higher concentration.

[@kristenholt4165]

Thank you for the information! Do you think this is better to use than the Ordinary BHA + AHA? (I already have the ordinary product)

[@shesjustafriend9084]

Not a professional but my personal opinion, the ordinary while has some nice ingredients often lacks supporting non active ingredients which can lead to dryness and sensitivity in some skin types so while the ordinary serum is still good it definitely needs supporting from nonactives serums while this problem isn’t prevalent in the cosrx but do whatever works for your skin

[@rozanamh4857]

Can I use it on my milia around my eyes?

[@meherunnesa2325]

I was thinking about buying an AHA toner for body exfoliation. I'm torned between Cosrx one and the ordinary one. I'm afraid the ordinary one would be too strong for my sensitive skin and Cosrx one wouldn't be enough. What do you I should do?

[@OO-ct4hq]

Cosrx and then a strong moisturizer

[@lindaakoto1549]

I have textured skin. Bumps all over, whiteheads on nose, chin and upper lip area. Will this help. I’ve used. So many products

Hi, yes they help with texture

[@M.Lilies.]

What about alpha arbutin with them

[@paula.pazmino]

Hi there, can someone please help me decide then, I have oily skin but if I can't get the blackheads one I can still use the whiteheads one? Thanks!

[@swineinny1]

Er, you may want to talk about Purito cuz you have a recent vid recommending it. Not your fault of course, but it may cause some confusion.

Thanks sm saved me $21

[@flameshot7194]

Super thank you bravo 🌺🌺🌺

[@heyitskonan]

Can I use this without having to use moisturizer?

[@AbbeyYung]

This isn’t a replacement for a moisturizer but it’s nice & hydrating!

[@diananemoy7409]

Even the most oily skin still needs a moisturizer step even if your treatment serum or toner step is slightly hydrating. I have blemish oily prone skin and I definitely use my serums and toners to keep my skin clear/brighten/anti aging and pick water light type formulas that dont leave me super stripped but also that dont have overly hydrating and moisturizing ingredients meant for dry skin since my skin will feel tacky and applying even the lightest gel mosturizer would make my skin feel gross. As always trial and error even if a formula looks perfect on a paper lol. Cosrx also has an aha/bha toner mist I love for a good balance for breakout prone skin types. I found yeses of using aha mask and serums may have evened out some post blemish marks but my nature leaves skin way to sticky/moist causing congestion which is why more people with dry skin use aha and bha is much better for oily/break out prone. However there are the few water light formulas of mixing both I enjoy like this one, Glow Recipe Watermelom BHA/PHA, and Farmacy BHA Toner. Best!
