Cosrx Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C Daily Cream

COSRX Refresh AHA BHA Vitamin C Daily Cream is a lightweight daily moisturizer from the Refresh ABC line that combines gentle chemical exfoliation with hydration and brightening care. It blends niacinamide, glycolic acid, and a betaine salicylate BHA-like exfoliant with an ascorbyl glucoside vitamin C derivative to smooth texture while supporting the moisture barrier. Formulated for daily use, it works as a finishing step to even out tone and refine the look of pores.

Key Benefits

• Combines AHA, BHA-like, and vitamin C derivative actives in one lightweight cream.
• Helps smooth rough texture and refine the look of enlarged pores.
• Supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion over time.
• Replenishes hydration with sodium hyaluronate and panthenol.
• Soothes with adenosine and allantoin while exfoliating actives work.

When to Use

Use morning and/or evening as the last step of a routine, after toner and serum. Suits normal to oily skin dealing with dullness, visible pores, or uneven texture. In the morning, always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

How to Use

Take a small, pea-sized amount and smooth over clean, toned skin on the face and neck. Pat gently until fully absorbed.

Key Ingredients

• Niacinamide: supports brightening and a more even-looking tone.
• Glycolic Acid: an AHA that helps lift dead skin cells for smoother texture.
• Betaine Salicylate: a gentle salicylic acid derivative that helps clear pore-clogging buildup.
• Ascorbyl Glucoside: a stable vitamin C derivative with antioxidant, brightening benefits.
• Sodium Hyaluronate: draws in moisture to support the skin barrier.

Precautions

Patch test before first use. Because this cream contains multiple exfoliating actives, use daily sunscreen and avoid layering with other strong acids or retinoids in the same routine to reduce irritation. Avoid the eye area, discontinue if persistent irritation occurs, and store away from direct sunlight and heat.
