Hello Princesses!

Today I'm going to be talking about the Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid and the Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence! I was so excited to receive these as samples because I have been dying to try out the BHA, but wasn't too sure if it would be too harsh for my skin!

This whitening power essence (formerly known as White Power Essence/Racism Essence) has a thin toner like texture and smells faintly of yeast. I found that it absorbed into my skin quickly and gave me a little bit of moisture and brightened my skin slightly. I quite liked using this essence a couple of times, and the full size is so cheap I think I will grab it full size too!

Ingredients
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Butylene Glycol, Betaine Salicylate, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Arginine, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan Gum, Ethyl Hexanediol"(2)

This was the product I was most excited about! It has a thin, water like texture and a faintly unpleasant smell when I sniff the product up close, though I don't notice it on my skin at all. It absorbs quickly, and the 20-30min wait time isn't too awfully drying for my skin. I applied this to only half of my face and it definitely made it feel much softer and looked more radiant.

Would I Purchase These Products?

Yes! I have already purchased the Whitening Power Essence, and plan to grab the BHA Blackhead Power Essence in my next haul! :3 I really enjoyed trying both of these products, and Cosrx seems to be a really lovely brand since it's inexpensive, works well and their Uncle mascot is so adorable!
