What is the primary benefit of the 7% Glycolic Acid in this formula?
The 7% Glycolic Acid works to chemically dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to slough off effectively. This keeps pores clear and prevents the formation of whiteheads, leading to a smoother skin surface.
Can I use this liquid every day?
Because it is a high-performance chemical exfoliant, begin with 2–3 times per week. Once your skin has adjusted to the Glycolic Acid, you may increase the frequency, though consistency is more effective than excessive use.
Is it suitable for people with very dry skin?
Yes. The formula contains Sodium Hyaluronate and Apple Fruit Water, which help the skin retain moisture while exfoliating. However, if you have extremely dry or compromised skin, always monitor your tolerance and use a rich moisturiser afterwards.
Why is Niacinamide included in an exfoliating liquid?
Niacinamide is included to support the skin barrier and brighten tone. It helps mitigate the appearance of dark marks left behind by previous blemishes, working in tandem with the Glycolic Acid to produce a more uniform complexion.
Do I need to avoid other active ingredients?
Use caution when combining this with other strong actives like Retinol or Vitamin C. For the best results and to avoid potential sensitivity, alternate these products—use this liquid in the evening and save other treatments for different times or days.
What is the purpose of Apple Fruit Water?
Apple Fruit Water serves as a natural exfoliant and hydrating base. It helps to soften the skin's surface and provides antioxidants, making the exfoliating process gentler and more effective than a base of pure water.

Why You Will Love COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid
COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid stands as the definitive choice for those battling stubborn pore congestion, persistent whiteheads, and uneven skin texture. By harnessing a precise 7% concentration of Glycolic Acid, this liquid works beneath the surface to dissolve the bonds holding dead cells in place, unveiling the vibrant, healthy skin underneath. This formula replaces standard water with nutrient-rich Apple Fruit Water, providing an essential layer of gentle, natural exfoliation that maintains hydration rather than stripping the skin. The addition of Niacinamide actively works to diminish the appearance of post-blemish shadows, resulting in a uniform, bright complexion. By promoting consistent cell turnover and keeping pores clear, this treatment prevents future breakouts and transforms rough, dry patches into a silky, supple surface.

How to Use:
After cleansing and toning, dispense a small amount onto a cotton pad. Gently sweep the pad over problem areas, specifically focusing on the T-zone and areas prone to whiteheads. Wait for the liquid to fully absorb before applying your next serum or moisturiser. Start by using it 2–3 times per week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always apply SPF during the day when using AHA products.
