In reply to Natalie. Natalie, glad it's working well for you. BHA is the best for acne.

I’ve been using the Cosrx only because it’s easily accessible for me and about a third of the price here in Canada. I’m all about sciency skincare as well but this one is a winner for me! I use it after cleansing every or everyother evening before applying my humectant and moisturizer. LOVE it. My acne is healing.

In reply to Jair elijah. Jair, glad you've enjoyed the post. I know people who swear by PC and others who claim Cosrx works better for them. It's great that we have the option so everyone can find something that works for them.

Such a good post!
Paulas choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant is my holy grail and works wonders for my skin. I studied salicylic acid and knee that the active ingredients where different. Still tried the cosrx one but soon realized that it just irritated my skin so bad.. PC for me

In reply to Jane. Jane, unfortunately these myths are common in skincare. You never know how your skin will react to something until you try it.

I own both of these products, and find that I have to be very careful using the COSRX liquid because my skin often reacts badly to it (red, blotchy, irritated) – whereas my skin tolerates the Paula’s choice liquid very well. I’m not sure why this happens with the COSRX – I don’t have particularly sensitive skin, I tolerate retinol and other actives well. I wonder if there’s an ingredient I’m reacting to – but nothing stands out to me as a possible culprit on the ingredients list…it’s a mystery!
