A lightweight essence with 88% Willow Bark Water and 0.1% Betaine Salicylate (BHA) that helps minimize the appearance of pores, lift blackheads, and control excess oil. Willow Bark is a natural source of salicin—a gentle precursor to salicylic acid—while BHA works to dissolve sebum buildup without stripping your skin. The watery texture absorbs quickly and layers easily into any routine.

FAQs
Q: Can I use COSRX Two in One Poreless Power Liquid daily?
A: Yes, the formula contains a low concentration of BHA (0.1% Betaine Salicylate) and is designed for daily AM and PM use; however, if you're new to BHA, start with once a day and see how your skin responds.
Q: Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
A: The product is hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, and free from common irritants including parabens, sulfates, alcohol, and phthalates, making it suitable for most sensitive skin types.
Q: What is the pH level of this product?
A: The pH level is 4.50 ± 1.00, which falls within the effective range for BHA activity while remaining gentle on skin.
Q: Can I use this with other exfoliating products?
A: Yes, but introduce slowly—if you're already using strong AHAs, retinol, or other actives, monitor your skin for irritation and consider alternating days rather than layering multiple exfoliants at once.
Q: When should I apply this in my routine?
A: Apply after cleansing and before heavier serums or moisturizers; the lightweight, watery texture absorbs quickly and layers easily under the rest of your routine.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: Many users notice reduced oiliness and a smoother texture within 1-2 weeks, while visible improvement in pore appearance and blackheads typically takes 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
Q: Who should avoid this product?
A: Those with active eczema, broken skin, or known sensitivity to salicylates should avoid use; if you're pregnant or nursing, consult your doctor before using BHA products.
How to Use
Cleanse face thoroughly and pat dry. Pump the liquid onto clean hands or a cotton pad. Gently swipe across the face, concentrating on areas with enlarged pores or blackheads. Avoid the eye and lip area. Pat gently to encourage absorption. Follow with moisturizer to complete the routine.

Got rid of my pores
My mom and I have been using this toner for the past 2 months and it has seriously changed my skin care game. The formula works well on my skin that has psoriasis and even helps calm it down. My mom has always had HUGE pores on her nose and under her eyes. After using this the first month, these pores have tightened on her face and her skin appears so much smoother.

Excellent toner. This stuff cleans
Excellent toner. This stuff cleans my face better than any toner I've tried. Even after I think I've washed my face well, when I use this it cleans it even further. Hoping to help with my large pores on and around my nose.
