{"product_id":"cosrx-two-in-one-poreless-power-liquid-1","title":"COSRX Two In One Poreless Power Liquid","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dual-function essence-toner built around one central idea: 88 percent white willow bark water in place of purified water. Willow bark is the natural botanical source of salicylic acid, and using it as the base of the formula rather than plain water means the gentle exfoliating and soothing activity runs through the entire product, not just through a single added active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a texture and pore product. It works on the visible roughness, congestion and enlarged-looking pores that come from a build-up of dead cells and sebum sitting in the pore opening, clearing them steadily rather than aggressively. The finish is lightweight, non-tacky and slightly cooling, and it absorbs in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on strength, because it matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e this product contains betaine salicylate at 0.1 percent. That is a deliberately low, daily-use concentration — it is not a strong chemical peel and should not be confused with COSRX's 4 percent BHA Blackhead Power Liquid. The intent here is gentle, consistent exfoliation that can be used every day without compromising the skin barrier. If you want a strong, targeted blackhead treatment, this is not that product. If you want something that quietly keeps texture smooth and pores clear as part of a normal routine, this is exactly that product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite willow bark water (88%)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the base of the formula.

Visible improvement in pore appearance takes four to eight weeks of consistent use.

It replaces your regular toner rather than adding a step. Avoid layering it in the same routine as a strong AHA, a high-percentage BHA, or a retinoid — alternate these on different evenings instead.

The formula contains menthyl lactate and mint extract, which produce a cooling sensation; this is normal, but if you have rosacea or highly reactive skin, patch test on the jawline for 24 hours before full-face use. For external use only. Avoid the eye area. Discontinue use if persistent stinging, redness or peeling develops. Store away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
