Most Helpful Positive Review Gentle Yet Effective Toner Great toner that's effective yet gentle on the skin. I have a different brand of Glycolic Acid toner that I was using from the spa I go to and it's 5%, this one is 7% but felt way more gentle on the skin. I have acne-prone, aging skin (37 yrs old) and this is to help with cellular turnover but geared towards adult skin. The instructions say to use once a week and then increase to twice or three times a week. As with all alpha hydroxy acids, you must use a sunblock to protect your skin as it's more prone to sun damage.
Highly Recommend this product & wish it was sold in-stores.
Most Helpful Critical Review Should be called "Causes Whiteheads" I don't know how this product is responding SO badly for me -- I made the mistake of ordering other COSRX products because all the reviews were so good. I only had a few stubborn whiteheads on my forehead and sometimes on my cheeks -- NOW, I have whiteheads on my nose, around my nose, and so many more on my forehead and cheeks. I'm SO disappointed. I did so much research and read beauty editors about this product.

This stuff is magic. The first week it draws out the gunk from your pores and then keeps them clean. I have had several deep pore painful zits forming and it clears them up. Highly recommend!!
Great for forehead bumps 5
skincarefan from MI
I've been struggling with closed comedones / little flesh colored bumps on my forehead for years and feel like I have tried almost every product out there. This is the first product that I would say is making a noticeable improvement after only a few days! I put it on my fingers and apply it directly so it doesn't get diluted in a cotton pad. I apply after cleansing at night and then wait about 30 minutes before moisturizer. highly recommend!
great product 5
teenager, acne prone skin. from cali
my breakouts are always nasty whiteheads that i get super insecure about. i've tried a lot of things and saw this so of course i was gonna try it. and it actually works!! if i use it in the morning my pimple is reduced by night. truly a life saver. i only use it once i get a pimple / one if developing because it is very drying.
Skin saver!! 5
Timmy from Indiana
I have used other AHA based products but this is by far the best for your regimen! This takes care of any tiny whitehead zits OVERNIGHT. I have combination oily skin and am prone to these but not anymore. I am now on my second bottle :)
Excellent Results 5
Shel from IN
I started using this about 8 months ago with the CosRX BHA (swapping every other night) and noticed within a few days my skin was brighter and fine lines in my forehead were less noticeable. I also noticed brightness in my skin within the first two weeks, I did not realize how dull it was until it was brightened. I previously had issues with Vitamin C causing a reaction in my skin and have had zero issues with this product. I had no purging with adding this but was using the BHA for several months prior.
No for sensitive skin 3
Gingy from Ohio
Just like several other reviewers said this made my face burn instantly. I tried using it a couple different ways.. like putting my moisturizer on first as a barrier and then putting this product on last. But that didn't help either. Bummed I have to take it back. I do have very sensitive skin though maybe it's fine for most people.
Not for me 1
25-year-old from Los Angeles
I was really excited to try this based on the reviews, but this is literally glorified water at best. I've been using for 1 month now and it doesn't do anything for my skin.
Helps with breakouts, whiteheads not so much 4
Paula from Chicago
I was hoping this was going to help me with my whiteheads on my chin but unfortunately it hasn't. It has been a few months now and nothing. However, it has helped me with breakouts. This is definitely drying though so I would use moisturizer after.
Improves skin texture (: 5
Rebecca from Issaquah
I got this for texture on my nose and some bumps that would pop up on my cheeks (thinks they were milia from over moisturizing.) I bought this product back in February, now that it's May I can say the texture on my nose is GONE my other bumps have cleared up and my skin never got flaky or irritated!! I used one whole pump on my nose then spread another pump across my face. I used it daily sometimes, but usually stuck to one or three times a week. Would definitely suggest over harsh scrubs or retinols.
Glowy, Smooth Skin! 5
Natalu06 from Atlanta, GA
I use this at night after toning and before moisturizing. I wake up with smooth, clear and glowy skin. It's a great exfoliant option at a great price!
Did not work for me 2
Alana from Washington, DC
After seeing so many reviews I was excited to try this product. I used it for a couple months but did not see a huge difference. Sometimes I felt like it would make me break out more. I ended up getting a similar product from a different brand that has done wonders for my skin. I guess the composition of this product just didn't agree with me l.

Marissa from ND
I have a lot of whiteheads on my chin and I was hoping this would get rid of them. This product works wonders but it takes time so you have to be patient. The major ingredient in this is glycolic acid which takes 3-6 weeks to see results. I saw a major reduction in my whiteheads, but it has been 3 weeks and they are not completely gone, but I'm confident they will go away with a little more time. I use this product every night, and it does a really good job of drawing out all the impurities. Would 100% recommend to anyone struggling with whiteheads.
Works if you know how to use it 4
em_makeup13 from Indianapolis
After much trial and error with this product, I finally figured out how to make it work best for me---and it really works!
1. Apply the product directly with your finger tips. I've found that using a cotton pad to apply it dilutes it too much. By using your finger, you can get the most concentrated application
2. Apply product as your last step in your nightly skincare routine. This really gives it a chance to work overnight.
3. I get really bad whiteheads on my chin, and this is the only product I put on my chin at night (other than cleanser). I've found that by only using this one product, and not a combination of several products at once, it really allows this product the chance to do what it's supposed to do
Pleasantly surprised! Great product 5
Mel from Portland Oregon
I noticed a big difference in my skin texture over night! Start out using the product twice a week cuz it will make it a little sensitive to the sun!
Holy Grail 5
Alyssa from Boston
This is the best and most effective skincare product I have ever used. I had really horrible hormonal acne for a while and I bought this for that and ended up never using it. I switched birth control and the acne cleared up for the most part but HOLY scars. I'm very fair and my skin gets bright pink acne scars. This has helped so much. Like, unreal amounts. Everyone talks about how glowing my skin is and it is 100% this. I have dry skin and this helps gently exfoliate and brighten and it never dries me out or irritates. If I have an active pimple and I use this, it's gone within 1-2 days. Every time.
Wow. 5
Alyssa from Boston
I had horrible hormonal acne and have so many scars from it. This is helping lighten them a ton and keeps my skin texture so smooth! I can use it every day, it's gentle enough. I have dry skin typically and get flakes and dead skin build up and this keeps that at bay, too
LOVE 5
Robin from Grand rapids mi
I have had a issue with whiteheads for about 2 years now and i have bought over a dozen face cleaners and i even was put on a medication from my doctor and nothing helped at all until about a week ago i bought aha 7 and im very impressed with how well it clears my face up.
Amazing! 5
Diane from Dallas, TX
This product is amazing! I have very oily skin so if I dont use a scrub at least once a week, I'll get a layer of dead skin and sebum that will accumulate on the top layer of my skin. After day one of using this, my nose will feel smoother the very next day. Glycolic acid can be a little too much for skin that's more on the sensitive side so I only use this like once a week. Works as a great alternative to a scrub without the harsh abrasion to the skin. For the price of this product, I have found it to be much more effective than high end AHA brand products.
My Go-To Toner 4
Gabby from Kansas, USA
I really like this toner and have noticed a decrease in my whiteheads and blackheads. It is quite astringent but that is easily deluded by using a cotton pad. I would definitely recommend this product for oily/combination skin with whiteheads and blackheads
Did what nothing else could! 5
Amy from Philly, PA
OMG. I have been having issues with acne on my neck for literally years, mostly hormone-related. I've tried so many things and they have all barely touched the problem. Within two treatments it cleared up and hasn't been back for MONTHS. It's wild. I've been suffering for years for nothing!
I put it on after cleansing, let it sit for 20 minutes, then use moisturizer.
Life Changer 5
Karen E. from New York
Okay so i never write reviews but for this stuff I had to. I had to stop taking birth control because it gave me sooo many white heads & little bumps all over my forehead. They would NOT go away no matter what I did! I did some research and bought this whitehead liquid and I swear the bumps are almost all gone, and I've been using it the recommended amount for 2 weeks. Seriously, this saved my skin.
actually worked 5

My Miracle Product 5
Kara from Denver
This product has changed my skin! I use on a cotton ball after cleansing and before serums and moisturizer and I have noticed a major, major reduction in the amount of whiteheads I get. Does not dry out my skin.
Leaves my face looking amazing 5
Michelle from California
I've been using this product for 3 weeks now. I started with using it only once a week and have worked it into my skincare routine twice a week now. I've never used a chemical exfoliator before so my skin purged and I had a couple of pimples on my forehead and chin area. These cleared quite fast and now my face feels and looks smoother than ever! It cleared the white heads on my nose pretty well.
