I used to be a bit squeamish about chemical exfoliation, until my last year encounter with COSRX BHA One Step Pimple Clear Pad, which is (in my humble opinion) the perfect product for acid-noobs.

Nivea White Oil Control Make Up Clear 2 in 1 Foaming Cleanser : A Short(-ish) Review
A few weeks ago, I very wisely decided to splurge my skin care budget on a year worth of hand creams. This called for drastic saving on other parts of my routine (and lunch allowance)…so I’ll be honest with you, this product I am reviewing right now was not bought using my own money. […]

Noob-Friendly Acid : A Review of COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad
Confession time : I am a bit squeamish about putting acid on my face. I know that my oily, acne-prone(-ish) and hyperpigmentation-laden skin could really benefit from chemical exfoliation. However, using acid products could be highly irritating and/or give you legit purging, and I was just not mentally ready for another breakout. Even those that […]
