Gently Exfoliates
I decided to try a leave-on exfoliator rather than an exfoliating cleanser because I noticed I kept getting irritation from exfoliating cleansers. This Cosrx one is really gentle and pleasant. It takes a few minutes for it to absorb into my skin, but afterwards I get very little irritation and my skin texture and pore appearance have definitely improved.

My favourite COSRX product. Pores appear smaller after a few hours. Was not expecting sebaceous filaments to disappear. I usually use one pump of liquid and put it directly on my T-zone and leave it to do its magic for about a few hours before applying moisturiser. (Putting moisturiser right after reduces its effectiveness from my personal experience.)

Good if you want to prevent acne. Although it probably won't help if you're already broken out. Left my skin very tight and that's why I stopped using it

It has not got rid of my acne and I think it dries my skin out. That said it is pretty good, also great value for money because the bottle is big and you don't need to use a lot of the product at a time.
