COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid is a chemical exfoliating toner, ideal for oily and acne-prone skin. The magical ingredient BHA penetrates deeply into the pores, effectively removing excess sebum. With regular use, this toner helps to prevent the formation of acne and blackheads. Formulated with 4% Betaine Salicylate, which is a derivative of BHA and is equivalent to 2% salicylic acid, this toner is powerful yet gentle. Additionally, it contains niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, which helps to reduce redness and irritation, tightens pores, and strengthens the skin's barrier. Panthenol and hyaluronic acid provide remarkable moisturizing properties, making this toner a must-have.

Its products are celebrated for their clean ingredients, featuring minimal components while effectively addressing various skin concerns. COSRX has cultivated a vast community of consumers by maintaining continuous communication, developing products that cater to their needs and preferences.
