The COSRX 2 in 1 Poreless Power Liquid is a gentle exfoliating toner designed to clear and tighten pores, making it an ideal solution for managing the effects of Mauritius' warm and humid climate. Its cooling, lightweight formula helps control excess sebum and prevent the blackheads and congestion that often come with heat and humidity, leaving skin feeling refreshed and smooth.

Feeling like your pores are more noticeable in the heat, or dealing with stubborn blackheads? This is a common experience in humid climates. The 2 in 1 Poreless Power Liquid is a gentle but effective solution to help clear out pores without the harshness of traditional scrubs.

• Who it's for: Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. Also excellent for beginners to chemical exfoliation.
• What it does: Gently exfoliates to clear blackheads and whiteheads, visibly tightens pores, and controls excess oil with a refreshing, cooling sensation.
• Texture & Scent: A clear, watery liquid that absorbs quickly. Has a natural, slightly minty scent and provides a cooling feel upon application.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to create a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply 2-3 pumps to your hands or a cotton pad and sweep over the face.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with sunscreen in the morning to protect your skin, or a light moisturiser in the evening to lock in hydration.

Note: Already own a similar exfoliating toner? Finish that first to reduce waste (substitute, don’t stack).

While this product can be used in the morning, we recommend starting with PM-only use for any new exfoliant.

• Minimalist (4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner (optional) → 3) THIS PRODUCT → 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional: For very oily skin, you might find the Power Liquid and your sunscreen provide enough hydration, allowing you to skip a separate moisturiser.
• Wait times: Allow the Power Liquid to absorb for 60 seconds before applying sunscreen.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen) → 2) THIS PRODUCT → 3) Moisturiser.
• Optional: If your skin feels dehydrated, you can layer a hydrating serum (like one with hyaluronic acid or snail mucin) after this product and before your moisturiser.
• Texture rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture to the thickest. This liquid goes on right after cleansing.

Initial Use (First 2 Weeks):

• Amount: 2-3 pumps onto a cotton pad or into your palms.
• Apply to: Face, focusing on the T-zone and areas with congested pores. Avoid the immediate eye and lip area.
• Method: Gently sweep or pat across the skin. Do not rub harshly.
• Frequency: Start by using it 2-3 times per week in your PM routine only. This allows your skin to get used to the BHA.

Regular Use (After 2 Weeks):

• If your skin tolerates it well, you can increase the frequency to every other night, or even daily (AM or PM). If any dryness or irritation occurs, reduce frequency.
• Amount: A nickel-sized amount (2-3 pumps) is sufficient for the face.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin feels a slight tingle: This is normal for a BHA product and should subside quickly.
• If you experience purging (a temporary increase in small breakouts): This can happen when introducing an exfoliant. It should resolve within 2-4 weeks. If breakouts are red, itchy, or persist, stop use and consult our team.
• If your skin feels dry: Reduce the frequency of use and layer a hydrating serum before your moisturiser.
• If you use other strong actives (Retinol, Vitamin C, other AHAs): Alternate nights. Do not use this product on the same night as a high-strength retinoid or another acid exfoliant.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Always wear sunscreen during the day when using this product. Keep out of reach of children.

This product contains a gentle BHA. To avoid over-exfoliation, it's best to introduce it slowly and alternate with non-active, soothing nights.

Example Starting Week (PM Focus):

• Mon: THIS PRODUCT
• Tue: Soothing Night (cleanser, hydrating toner, moisturiser)
• Wed: Soothing Night
• Thu: THIS PRODUCT
• Fri: Soothing Night
• Sat: Soothing Night
• Sun: THIS PRODUCT

Rules for Actives:

• Use only one strong active per night. Do not use this liquid on the same night as a retinol, another BHA, or a strong AHA.
• If you experience any irritation, reduce use to 1-2 times per week and add more "Soothing Nights."
• After 2-4 weeks, if your skin is happy, you can gradually increase frequency to every other night or daily if needed.

• Immediately: Skin feels refreshed, cool, and clean. Surface oil is reduced.
• After 2-4 weeks: Pores may appear tighter and cleaner. You might notice a reduction in oiliness throughout the day. Skin texture begins to feel smoother.
• After 4-8+ weeks: With consistent use and daily sunscreen, you should see a noticeable reduction in the frequency and appearance of blackheads and whiteheads. Skin looks clearer and more refined.

Individual results vary. Consistency and daily sun protection are essential for achieving the best outcomes.

• Why use this, not a harsh physical scrub for pores? Harsh scrubs with large, jagged particles (like apricot pits or sugar) can cause micro-tears in the skin. This damages the skin barrier and can lead to inflammation and even more breakouts or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots), especially on melanin-rich skin. This liquid uses a gentle chemical exfoliant (BHA) to dissolve oil and debris *inside* the pore, which is more effective and much safer for your skin's long-term health.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol, and Beta-Glucan are excellent to use after this product to replenish moisture.
  • Niacinamide: Can be used in the same routine to further help with pore appearance, oil control, and brightening.
  • Antioxidants: Like Vitamin C (use at a different time, e.g., C in AM, this product in PM).
• Use With Caution:
  • Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): Avoid using them on the same night. Alternate evenings to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation.
  • Other Exfoliants (AHAs, PHAs, Peeling Gels): Do not use them in the same routine. Alternate days or weeks.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, irritated, or sunburnt skin.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. This is the primary target for this product. It effectively manages sebum and keeps the T-zone clear without over-drying cheeks.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Very suitable. Helps to prevent the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) that lead to breakouts.
• Normal Skin: Good for occasional use (1-3 times a week) to maintain clear pores and a smooth texture.
• Dry Skin: Use with caution. The BHA can be drying. If you use it, limit to 1-2 times a week and follow with rich, hydrating products.
• Sensitive Skin: Patch test is essential. The low concentration of Betaine Salicylate is gentler than pure Salicylic Acid, but the cooling mint extract could be a potential irritant for some.

• Clogged Pores
• Blackheads & Whiteheads
• Excess Sebum / Oily Skin
• Enlarged Pore Appearance
• Rough or Bumpy Skin Texture

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water (88%): A natural source of salicylates (a precursor to salicylic acid), which provides gentle exfoliating and anti-inflammatory benefits to help soothe and clear skin.
• Betaine Salicylate (0.1%): A very gentle form of BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid). It is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate into pores to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells, effectively treating and preventing blackheads and whiteheads.
• Tannin: Derived from natural sources, tannins have an astringent property that helps to temporarily tighten the look of pores.
• Allantoin & Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Soothing and hydrating ingredients that help calm skin and support the skin barrier, reducing potential irritation from exfoliation.
• Mentha Haplocalix Extract: Provides a natural, gentle cooling sensation to soothe overheated or irritated skin.

Full INCI List:

Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin, Water, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine Salicylate, Arginine, Betaine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Allantoin, Panthenol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carbomer, Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract, Menthyl Lactate, Mentha Haplocalix Extract.

• Fragrance Status: No artificial fragrance added. It has a natural, mild minty/herbal scent from the Mentha Haplocalix Extract.
• Scent Intensity: 1/5 (Very light and dissipates quickly).
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand on the official ingredient list. However, natural extracts can sometimes contain trace amounts of allergens like Limonene or Linalool. A patch test is always advised for highly sensitive skin.

A Note on Purging: When you first start using a BHA product, you may experience a temporary increase in breakouts in your usual problem areas. This is called "purging" and happens because the exfoliant is speeding up cell turnover and pushing existing clogs to the surface. Purging typically looks like small, non-inflamed bumps that resolve faster than normal pimples and should not last more than 4-6 weeks. This is different from an allergic reaction, which would involve itching, widespread redness, or breakouts in new areas.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the liquid to a small, clean patch of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any severe burning, itching, or rash, do not use the product.
3. If no reaction occurs, you can proceed with using it on your face, starting with a low frequency (2-3 times per week).

Who should use with caution: Those with very dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin should introduce this product very slowly and monitor for dryness.

• Texture: Clear, watery, and lightweight. It feels like a slightly more viscous water and is not sticky.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly, leaving a clean, hydrated finish with no residue. Provides a noticeable cooling sensation.
• pH: Approximately 4.5, which is within the effective range for BHA to work as an exfoliant.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product is generally considered suitable for those with fungal acne, as it does not contain common trigger ingredients like fatty acids, esters, or fermented products. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: My skin feels tight or dry after use.
  • Solution: You may be using it too frequently. Reduce use to 1-2 times per week and make sure you are following up with a good hydrating toner and moisturiser.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results for my blackheads after a few weeks.
  • Solution: This is a very gentle BHA (0.1%). Be patient and ensure you are using it consistently for at least 8 weeks. For very stubborn or deep blackheads, you may eventually need a stronger BHA product (like the COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid with 4% Betaine Salicylate).
• Issue: The product feels tingly or slightly stings.
  • Solution: A mild, brief tingling sensation can be normal when using an acid product, especially for the first time. It should not be painful or last long. If it's uncomfortable, rinse it off and use a more hydrating toner before applying it next time to buffer the effect.

This product is an excellent match for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, watery texture feels refreshing and non-sticky, perfect for hot and humid days. The cooling sensation provides immediate relief for overheated skin. Its ability to control sebum and clear pores is highly beneficial when sweat and oil production are at their peak.
• Drier Winters: Still effective for pore maintenance. If your skin gets drier in winter, simply reduce the frequency of use and ensure you are layering it with more hydrating products.

Tannins are widely recognized in cosmetic science for their astringent properties, which can help temporarily tighten pores.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with only 100% authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and suitability for the Mauritian climate, ensuring you receive skincare that is both effective and trustworthy. Your skin health is our priority.

1. Is this exfoliant gentle enough for beginners?
Yes, absolutely. With only 0.1% Betaine Salicylate, it's one of the gentlest BHA products on the market, making it an ideal starting point for anyone new to chemical exfoliation.

2. Can I use this with my Vitamin C serum or Retinol?
It's best to alternate. Use your Vitamin C serum in the morning and the Poreless Power Liquid at night. For retinol, use them on different nights (e.g., this liquid on Monday, retinol on Tuesday) to avoid potential irritation.

3. Will this get rid of all my blackheads permanently?
This product is excellent for managing and preventing blackheads by keeping pores clear. However, very deep or stubborn blackheads may require stronger treatments or professional extraction. Consistent use will significantly reduce their appearance and frequency.

4. Is the cooling or tingling sensation normal?
Yes. The cooling comes from the mint extract and a mild tingling can be a normal reaction to the BHA working. It should be brief and not painful. If you experience persistent burning or redness, discontinue use.

• Best For: Oily and combination skin types looking for a gentle, daily-use exfoliant to manage pores and prevent blackheads.
• Key Benefits: Clears and tightens the appearance of pores, reduces excess oil, and provides a refreshing cooling sensation perfect for a tropical climate.
• Keep in Mind: It is a very gentle formula. If you have very stubborn blackheads or are accustomed to high-strength acids, you might find this too mild. A patch test is recommended for very sensitive skin due to the mint extract.
