What the gurus are saying

The 35% acid concentration is the sticking point here. Gurus find it unusually potent, even by peel standards, and those without resilient or very congested skin may want to start with a gentler option or use it sparingly at first. One reviewer notes this is actually stronger than other COSRX offerings, so it is worth knowing what you are signing up for before you patch test.

"This one is 35%, which is just way too high in my opinion. I know a lot of times when we're shopping for skincare it may look like a higher percentage is a better thing, but it's not. Skincare is about moderation, and oftentimes the best results come with long-term use of a gentle product. 35%, I was like that's just too much. I feel like 35%, even if it does have a good ingredient list, is just way too excessive. I think for 2024 we're in our healing era, we don't need these super powerful actives but rather just a good, consistent, gentle skincare routine. Also, this product is $19."

"Recently COSRX released a peel, kind of coming after the Ordinary peel, which is a holy grail for a lot of people. This is probably one of the first ones I bought of it. The one from COSRX is actually a little bit stronger, they say it's 35% peel, AHA BHA PHA LHA, so we've got all of them going on here, 35% peel, and the one from The Ordinary is 3% AHA and 2% BHA. However, I will mention that the LHA and PHA in here are going to be super gentle, much more gentle than 30% AHAs. It comes in a plastic tube, they recommend using it once a week. If you use exfoliants regularly though, I think you're better off just using exfoliants a few times a week instead of just doing it once a week, but a lot of people have different goals. It's very hard to squeeze out of the bottle, it's very, very thick."
