A woman who suffered from whiteheads for ‘as long as she could remember’ has revealed how she finally cleared up the skin on her forehead with the aid of a £16 treatment she found online.
Reddit user -salma began using COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid in September 2017 after years of trying different creams, pads and cleansers, and saw her skin clear up within weeks.
Writing about her skincare ‘journey’ online, she told how she started seeing results within seven weeks of using COSRX, a lightweight exfoliant that contains natural Alpha Hydroxy and glycolic acids.
She wrote: ‘It was a very gradual process, I just remember looking into the mirror last week and thinking, wait, didn’t I used to have lots of small spots on my forehead?

‘I had another look through my selfies and my [closed comedones; whiteheads] appear to have started reducing mid-November.’
The beauty aficionado told how she uses the exfoliant every other night after removing her makeup with Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, and followed by Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion 30 minutes later.
And after sharing the before and after pictures of her foreheads on Reddit’s AsianBeauty and SkincareAddiction pages, she was inundated with likes, comments and questions about her regime, with one person hailing the results as ‘absolutely amazing’.

The whitehead treatment, which contains apple liquid, promises to ‘clean up the skin’ by relaxing pores, removing dead skin cells and removing whiteheads.
At around £16 for a 100ml bottle, it also contains a host of vitamins and natural moisturisers that help to resurface the complexion and is billed as a ‘saviour for skin’.
As well as the glowing review on Reddit, the product has four- and five-star ratings on online beauty retailers.
