COSRX - AC Collection - Calming Liquid Intensive - 125 ml

First impression (haven’t tried the product yet):\n1. Fast delivery, one day TAT\n2. Bottles/packaging is hefty (feels expensive)\n3. All products have expiration date in bottle and box.\n4. All products have direction (both in bottle and box)\n5. High concentration of important ingredients - which I really like about Cosrx\n6. Drugstore price but seems like a good quality product

Ordered on Nov 4th, received on Nov 8th. The box was in pretty bad condition and I suspect it was roughly handled during shipping since it had to be imported from Korea. The product inside came in bubble wrapped though so it's all good. And they gave me a photocard of a korean dude but I don't know who he is and I don't know what to do with it. Anyway, the product has only 0.2% Betaine Salicylate as BHA (which is equivalent to 0.1% Salicylic acid) and 0.2% Gluconolactone PHA so it is very mild.

I bought this liquid at Winners to try it out as I was new to COSRX. Now I regret not buying the other 2 bottles there. But well!!. I have oily skin and I have always been suffering from acne my whole life. Now I have a mature oily face with a bit of acne, blackhead and more whiteheads. Since I started using this liquid, mix between serum and toner, my face does not have more breakouts and black heads. I use this liquid with the Ac Calming Pad AM and PM. My skin looks brighter and no more acne, blackhead or oily face. My skin looks supple and with a beautiful glow. I still have whiteheads and hope they will disappear when I finish the bottle. I am so happy with this product.

Cosrx's AC Collection Calming Liquid

Cosrx's AC Collection Calming Liquid Intensive is a joy to use. It's viscosity is between water and cream so it's easier to use (& not waste) unlike more watery toners. The scent is clean and pleasant. My skin does not react when initially applied but the results speak wonders for this product. This won't be my last bottle. Give it a try!

Helped but didn't help

I'm copy pasting my review from the AC Calming Foam Cleanser, so if you see this twice, I'm not a bot :)Let me premise this by saying that I have acne prone combination skin.I've used this toner in the sample kit and I really enjoyed it; it made my face baby soft and little to no acne, so I ordered the full bottle along with the cleanser. My skin had a few blemishes here and there before I started using the full bottle toner. I then noticed I was breaking out more and more after each wash, followed by the AC Collection "Calming Liquid Mild" Toner, CosRX Vitamin E sunscreen, and Life brand moisturizer for oily to normal skin. Something didn't agree with something else, so I decided to stop using the CosRX cleanser and toner and went back to my Cerave cleanser, ... MoreI'm copy pasting my review from the AC Calming Foam Cleanser, so if you see this twice, I'm not a bot :)Let me premise this by saying that I have acne prone combination skin.I've used this toner in the sample kit and I really enjoyed it; it made my face baby soft and little to no acne, so I ordered the full bottle along with the cleanser.

Everyone's skin is different so use my experience to your own discretion. Maybe I used the wrong combination of products for my type of skin, but I would highly recommend at least trying this toner!

I have been using this

I have been using this Calming Liquid Intensive with my other products of COSRX, like the Snail Line and ABC Line. I use this usually once a day after cleansing and using Centella water. I come from using products in the past with high percentages of acids, but I wanted to try Korean products that were not quite as harsh. This Acne liquid, works great. I notice a reduction in redness quickly, and any breakouts I do get, this helps dry them up and speed up the healing time. I tend to get most of my breakouts in the Summer, on my forehead area, here with the TX heat. But this AC liquid has reduced the intensity of breakouts, as well as the healing time. I use this with the AC foaming cleanser, The centella water, or AHA Water, Then this calming liquid, which I rotate ... MoreI have been using this Calming Liquid Intensive with my other products of COSRX, like the Snail Line and ABC Line.

I use this with the AC foaming cleanser, The centella water, or AHA Water, Then this calming liquid, which I rotate between this and the Whitehead or Blackhead liquid to give me more exfoliation. Again I come from using strong acid products, chemical peels etc, so my skin is used to exfoliation. Then I use the Snail Essence, once that dries in, the AC or ABC Serum, and then the AC moisturizer or snail healing cream if needed.This protocol has seemed to work best for me, rotating certain products so my skin does not develop resistance to them.So after using a strong skincare line for over 10 years, I am happy with transitioning over to COSRX and Korean Skin Care.

I love this product

I absolutely love this product. It first came to me in a sample box and I've kept using it since. It literally takes off all the grime on my face, even after I wash my face. I can see on my cotton pad what was left over on my face and I'm glad I have this product. It's amazing. I'm finally going to be purchasing the bog bottle. Love this product.
