Cosrx Aha 7 Whitehead Power Liquid 100ML

Description

The COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid is a chemical exfoliant specifically formulated to target whiteheads, congested skin, and dullness. It utilizes Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), primarily Glycolic Acid, to gently yet effectively exfoliate the surface of the skin, revealing a smoother, brighter, and clearer complexion.

Key Features and Benefits:

1. 7% Glycolic Acid (AHA): This is the primary active ingredient. Glycolic Acid is the smallest of the AHAs, allowing it to penetrate the skin effectively.

   • Surface Exfoliation: Works by loosening the “glue” that holds dead skin cells together on the surface, allowing them to shed more easily.
   • Whitehead Targeting: By clearing the surface, it prevents the buildup of dead skin that can trap sebum and form whiteheads.
   • Brightening: Promotes cell turnover, revealing fresh, brighter skin underneath.
   • Improved Texture: Smoothes rough patches and uneven skin texture.
   • Increased Radiance: Contributes to a luminous and healthy glow.

2. Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water (75%): This is a significant base ingredient, offering additional AHA properties (malic acid from apples) and providing antioxidant benefits.

   • Gentle Exfoliation: Contributes to the overall exfoliating effect in a gentle manner.
   • Antioxidant Support: Helps protect the skin from environmental damage.

3. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-beneficial ingredient that complements the AHA.

   • Brightening: Further enhances skin radiance and helps fade hyperpigmentation.
   • Pore Refinement: Can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
   • Barrier Support: Strengthens the skin’s natural moisture barrier, which is important when using exfoliants.

4. Sodium Hyaluronate: A form of hyaluronic acid, an excellent humectant that draws and holds moisture in the skin, helping to mitigate any potential dryness from exfoliation.

5. Non-Abrasive Exfoliation: Provides chemical exfoliation, which is gentler and more effective than physical scrubs, especially for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.

6. Lightweight Texture: The liquid has a watery, essence-like consistency that absorbs quickly without feeling sticky or heavy.

How to Incorporate into Your Routine:

• Frequency: Start slowly. For beginners, use 1-2 times a week. As your skin adjusts and tolerates it, you can gradually increase to 2-3 times a week, or as needed. Do not use daily initially.
• When to Use: Ideally in your evening routine, after cleansing and toning.
• Application Method:
  1. Cleanse & Tone: After cleansing your face and applying a hydrating toner (optional, but recommended for buffering).
  2. Dispense: Pump 1-2 times onto a cotton pad or directly into your clean hands.
  3. Apply: Gently wipe the liquid over your entire face, focusing on areas with whiteheads or dullness. Avoid the eye and lip areas.
  4. Wait (Important!): Allow the product to absorb fully and work its magic for 10-20 minutes before applying your next skincare step. This “wait time” ensures the AHA can properly exfoliate at its optimal pH.
  5. Follow Up: Continue with hydrating serums, moisturizers, and/or a sleeping mask to soothe and hydrate the skin.
