Review: COSRX Natural BHA Skin Returning A-Sol

-

Hi Everyone!

Today I will be talking about one of my holy grail products. I have gone through at least 2 bottles of this and I always have a spare on hand. 
This is the COSRX Natural BHA Skin Returning A-Sol, which some say is a toner and some say it's an essence. I use it as a ESSENCE, but again, some people use it as a toner. 

It can be used as a skin troubleshooter, working best as a spot treatment to help diminish pimples and acne.

It works as a gentle chemical exfoliator. Contains 69.8% Black Bee Propolis to soothe, repair and hydrate skin while inhibiting bacterial growth - great for people who are prone to breakouts or are acne-prone skin. Natural AHAs and BHAs also aid in controlling excess sebum, clearing impurities and dead skin cells, and helping your skin cells renew your skin so that it becomes clearer and brighter while maintaining natural moisture-retention.

Since it is enriched with propolis, AHA and natural BHA, the liquid clears skin of excess oil, blackheads and whiteheads and sebum build-up inside pores.

BHA: Betain Salicylate (BHA) 1%
AHA: Lactic Acid 1%
Black Bee Propolis Extract 69.8%

Great for ALL skin types! Especially people who are prone to breakouts and acne.

     
This A-Sol is COLORLESS/CLEAR. You can see that it was so water-y that it is spilling out of my palm.

Size: 100 mL / 3.38 oz.

Color: Colorless, clear.

Consistency: It is very liquid-y, like water.

pH Level: 4 + 0.5

Fragrance: No scent, no artificial fragrances added

Packaging: Comes in a while plastic bottle along with a clear cap.

Mechanism: It is the typical pump style bottle.

Free From: parabens, artificial colorants, artificial fragrances, triethanolamine, or phthalates.

Full Ingredients List: Propolis Extract, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Lactate, Lactic Acid, water, Glycolic Acid, Betaine Salicylate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Allantoin, Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethyl Hexanediol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil

How To Use:
It is suggested to use COSRX's chemical exfoliators with a cotton pad for maximum results. The use of both physical and chemical exfoliation will create maximum effect on the skin. Gently wipe your face with the cotton pad.
Initial use of the product may give temporary irritation to the skin. Begin with using the product once a week, and after the skin has adapted to it, increase the usage to 2 to 3 times a week.

How I Use It:
I use this solution both morning and night as an essence/spot treatment. When I say spot treatment, I mean that I usually go back in after I've applied it to my whole face and only re-dab at trouble areas such as breakouts, rough spots and oily areas. This way I am giving those areas more attention.
I usually just pump it into my hands, I don't bother with a cotton pad. I like to lightly tap it into my skin.


Below are BEFORE/AFTER pictures of me using this A-Sol. There are 2 sets of pictures, the first before/after pictures were from August 2018. The seconds before/after pictures are from December 2018. These are 4 months apart.

Set 1
Before


After
You can see are the healing pimple area that after the application of the Solution, it has become more hydrated and a little less red.

Set 2
Before

After
After applying the Solution to my skin, I definitely feel like my skin is more hydrated. The pimple doesn't look as "angry," more soothed and less red.

I LOVE this COSRX skin solution.

As I stated previously, I have gone through multiple bottles of this solution and I always have a spare for when I run out.

I notice a big difference in my skin after using this solution. In my before/after pictures, I feel that my skin has become hydrated and reduced redness. If you give the solution time, you will notice that pimples start to heal faster too!
I also noticed that the little bumps on my forehead are slowly going away.

I feel that my skin has become smoother from using this solution.
I absolutely love it! I also love that I only need 1 pump for my entire face and that is more then enough for me. Since I only use 1 pump each time I use it, this solution has lasted me a really long time too, making it totally worth the money.

Rate (out of 5 stars): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend this product for everyone to try! I absolutely love it and I notice a huge difference whenever I use it. Definitely worth buying!

Review: Dear, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop

Hi Everyone! Today, I will be reviewing the highly acclaimed Dear, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop. This is a vitamin C serum that has become a major cult favorite for many people of all skin types. I bought mine from Yesstyle.com , but there are many other places you can get it as well. I just find that their prices tend to be cheaper and there's always some sort of coupon you can find to make it even cheaper. A few months ago I reviewed another vitamin C serum that was a collaboration between Sokoglam and COSRX, this was the COSRX Triple C Lightning Liquid , you can check out my review of this serum by clicking on the link. I really enjoyed this vitamin C serum and I've even already bought a replacement. However, I also really wanted to try this serum from Dear, Klairs since I've heard so many good things about them. My original plan was to review these two vitamin C serums at the same time so that I could do a back to back comparison. However, life

Hi Everyone! Today I will be reviewing a product that I have bought a  lot  of... a LOT. I've been using this cream for over 3 years now. As you can see from the picture above, I've gone through multiple tubs of this cream! I actually use to have more tubs, but I like to re-purpose them and fill them with other products as well. I'm a huge fan of COSRX products. I really like that they're affordable while also actually showing results. I've tried many of their products and I'm sure I will continue to keep using them.  ~I'm also a HUGE fan of their pimple patches  which I've written a review for! Click on the link to go see it!~ Everyone has the occasional pimple, I don't think ever met a person who's never had at least 1 pimple in their life. However, we all need a way to help diminish these pesky red blotches! This Centella Blemish Cream by COSRX is a fast-acting spot treatment cream. It's suppose to help calm and reduce acn

Review: COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner

Hi Everyone! I will be discussing a very popular toner by COSRX. This is the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner . The main reason I bought this toner to begin with was because I saw a review, I don't remember by who, that said they used this toner and noticed a big difference in their skin. They noticed that the little bumps they used to have on their forehead disappeared. This was the reason I bought it. I had these small bumps, they weren't really pimples because if you tried to pop it or put a pimple sticker on it, nothing came out. I've had these bumps for ages, so I was willing to try anything to try and get rid of them. AHA/BHA are a type of chemical exfoliant which can make a big difference in your skin. AHA - alpha hydroxy acid, EX: glycolic acid and lactic acid BHA - beta hydroxy acid, EX: salicylic acid It's important to gently exfoliate the skin daily to scrub off the buildup of dead skin, revealing beautiful, soft, hydrated skin.
