About the Product

Cosrx Refresh AHA/BHA Vitamin C Daily Cream is a lightweight brightening moisturizer that combines gentle chemical exfoliants with vitamin-rich fruit extracts. AHA (glycolic acid) and BHA (betaine salicylate) work to dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores, while Vitamin C (as ascorbyl glucoside) is a stable antioxidant that helps brighten and protect skin from environmental stress. The silky formula smooths on easily and layers well under SPF.

Who is This For?

This cream works well for anyone dealing with dullness, uneven texture, or congestion. It's especially helpful for normal, combination, or oily skin, though those with sensitive skin should patch test first since it contains active exfoliants.

Key Benefits

  • Gently exfoliates daily to smooth rough texture and keep pores clear
  • Helps even out skin tone and fade the look of dark spots over time
  • Delivers antioxidant protection and a brighter, more radiant finish
  • Hydrates and soothes with sodium hyaluronate and panthenol

Key Ingredients

  • Niacinamide — Helps balance uneven tone, supports your skin barrier, and refines the look of pores
  • Glycolic Acid (AHA) — Exfoliates the surface to reveal smoother, fresher skin underneath
  • Betaine Salicylate (BHA) — A gentler BHA that helps clear out pores without harsh irritation
  • Ascorbyl Glucoside — A stable vitamin C derivative that brightens and provides antioxidant benefits
  • Kiwi & Dragon Fruit Extracts — Packed with vitamins and antioxidants to nourish skin
FAQs

Q: Can I use this cream if I have sensitive skin?
A: While the formula is hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested, the presence of AHA and BHA may cause sensitivity; patch testing is recommended before full application.

Q: Do I need to wear sunscreen when using this product?
A: Yes, sunscreen is required during daytime use because AHA (Glycolic Acid) increases skin's sensitivity to UV exposure.

Q: Can I use this with retinol?
A: It is not recommended to use this cream in the same routine as retinol, as combining multiple active exfoliants may lead to irritation and compromised skin barrier.

Q: Should I use this in the morning or at night?
A: You can use it either morning or night, but if using in the morning, always follow with SPF since the AHA increases sun sensitivity.

Q: How long until I see results?
A: Most users notice improved radiance within a few weeks, while more significant improvements in texture and dark spots typically develop over 4-8 weeks of consistent use.

Q: Is this moisturizing enough to use on its own?
A: For normal to oily skin, this lightweight cream is typically sufficient; those with drier skin may want to layer a richer moisturizer on top, especially at night.

Q: Who should avoid this product?
A: Those with very dry or compromised skin barriers, active eczema or rosacea flare-ups, or anyone currently using other strong actives like retinol or prescription exfoliants should avoid this product.

How to Use

Cleanse your face thoroughly and apply any toners or serums in your routine. Take an appropriate amount of cream and apply evenly across the entire face. Gently pat or smooth the product until absorbed. Use both morning and evening as desired. Always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF during daytime use, as AHA increases sun sensitivity.
