Calms my inflamed acne (redish, painful, hormonal) on my cheeks and forehead, loveee leaving it 2-5 min on my problem areas, works really well if you can't use the 2% one and have a sensitive skin but still need fo unclog your pores. Sadly it is too expensive in my country and lots of fakes online 😞 still trying to find a dupe for this product.

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.)
