Glycolic acid is water-soluble, which means it works on the skin surface and does not travel far into an oil-filled pore. The ingredient better suited to that specific job is salicylic acid, a BHA, which is oil-soluble and gets inside the pore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo if you are buying this specifically to clear whiteheads, a BHA product is the more direct choice — the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cosrx-salicylic-acid-daily-gentle-cleanser-150-ml\"\u003esalicylic acid cleanser\u003c\/a\u003e or a leave-on BHA would target them better. That is not a knock on this product; it is a naming problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat 7% glycolic actually delivers is worth having. It loosens the bonds between dead surface cells, which over a few weeks gives smoother texture, a brighter and more even-looking tone, and better absorption of whatever you apply afterwards. It has one of the longest and strongest evidence bases in skincare. Used consistently, it does a lot of what people hope a whole shelf of products will do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo rules make the difference between results and irritation: start slowly, and wear sunscreen. Exfoliating acids make skin measurably more sun-sensitive, and skipping SPF undoes the tone improvement you are working for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStart twice a week,\u003c\/strong\u003e at night, on completely dry skin after cleansing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApply a thin layer\u003c\/strong\u003e with hands or a cotton pad, avoiding the eye area and any broken skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWait a few minutes,\u003c\/strong\u003e then follow with moisturiser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild up gradually\u003c\/strong\u003e to every other night if your skin tolerates it — more often is not better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear sunscreen every morning,\u003c\/strong\u003e without exception, while using it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cosrx\"\u003eCOSRX range at EmartGCC\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it clear my whiteheads?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess well than the name suggests.
