COSRX BHA Power Liquid (HC Version) 100ml

For congested-looking, shine-prone skin, a gentle leave-on exfoliant can make a real difference to how smooth your skin looks. The COSRX BHA Power Liquid is a lightweight BHA exfoliant built around 4% betaine salicylate in a willow bark water base, made to gently sweep away the look of dead skin cells and daily buildup. It is a well-loved BHA liquid exfoliant for a smoother-looking finish.

What makes it approachable is the gentle, natural BHA. Betaine salicylate offers a milder feel than some acids, while willow bark water and niacinamide round out the formula. The texture is watery and lightweight, so it layers easily as part of an evening routine.

A quick honest note on fit. This chemical exfoliant suits combination and oily-feeling skin, and it is best for people already comfortable with acids. Because it is a leave-on exfoliant, start slowly (2 to 3 times a week), avoid layering it with other acids, retinol or vitamin C, and wear sunscreen in the morning. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
