Correction on the COSRX product! It has Betaine Salicylate + Willow Bark Water in place of Salicylic Acid. I'm not sure where I was looking that had Salicylic Acid listed as an ingredient- sorry for the confusion! But same story regardless as there's no definitive research on efficacy of those ingredients at 4% vs. 2% SA. Completely depends on how it works for your skin and there's no right answer!
I’m glad you checked out the peach slices toner and did the review on peach slices toner! It’s a great product and maybe even better the paulas choice bha👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi! The Cosrx's uses Betaine Salicilate which is a gentler form of Salicylic Acid, it's at 4% which is theoretically equivalent to 2% pure Salicylic Acid. :) love the review!
It's great to see a higher level of BHA and AHA in a more accessible product. I won't be using it due to my skin being super sensitive. I hope CeraVe makes an Azelaic Acid product.
FYI. Cerave's Psoriasis Cleanser contains 2% salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, PHA, and urea along with niacinamide, ceramides, hyaluronic acid. $1.87/ounce. I would give that a try first.
Yes! I’ve been using the Psoriasis cleanser for over a year and my husband uses the lotion from that line for his moisturizer. Really great stuff. Don’t know why it’s not really known because IMO it’s their most superior product line.
That line is low key amazing I’m surprised not more people talk about it. I’ve only seen Dr.Dray cover it. Tried it cause of her but I’m never looking back
@@Jl2damax I think people see the word Psoriasis and think the product isn’t for them. However, the ingredients themselves are great and can be used by anyone irrespective if you have that condition or not.
As she stated glycolic acid is the most potent aha for resurfacing and this is a gel which is left on all day or night The psoriasis cleanser and moisturizer only contains lactic acid, no glycolic, making it good for super sensitive skin while still getting the other ingredients The gel would most likely be more beneficial for acne/aging if your skin can handle the combo of salicylic & glycolic & lactic I'm almost wanting to buy the psoriasis cleanser and use with this with the gel?! Since After using the sa cleanser i fear using the acne control cleanser with the gel would b too harsh
I recently bought the Vanicream gentle cleanser based on your recommendation and I absolutely LOVE it! I have heard of it for a long time but I always avoided it because I thought it was a non-foaming gentle cleanser to Cerave hydrating cleansers or La Roche Posay gentle cleansers and I'm not the biggest fans of those types. I had no idea the Vanicream one foamed up. I love it!
Some other options: Peach Slices Acne Toner- 2% Salicylic and has undisclosed amounts of lactic and glycolic acid. $10.99 for 4 oz so only $2.75/oz. Sephora ClearSkinDays Clarifying Serum- 2% Salicylic and 5% Glycolic. $12 for 1.76 oz so $6.8/oz (currently on sale for $8) Both fragrance free Also just FYI the Cosrx Bha Blackhead Power Liquid doesnt have 4% Salicylic Acid. It has 4% Betaine Salicylate which is said to be about half as strong as Salicylic acid, so its considered comparable to 2% SA. Almost no korean skincare has actual SA but use betaine salicylate as a BHA instead
I absolutely LOVE the Cosrx BHA liquid. I use it on my arms too, and it has completely eliminated the KP bumps I suffered with for YEARS. Works well to prevent I grown hairs and odour in the armpits, reduces callouses on my feet, gets rid of dark rough patches on my elbows and knees. It's a wonderful product. It's so difficult for me to get Paula's Choice in Canada, and I found the BHA liquid to be too much trouble to get a hold of more than once. I've been really happy with the Clinique Alcohol Free Twice Daily Exfoliating Solution - it's essentially the same product, at half the price, twice the size, and I'd easier for me to access. I'll be on the hunt for the Cerave product too!
One of my other favorite TH-camrs just launched his own skincare line today! His name is Rob and his channel is Mad About Skin. You guys have a lot of similar preferences in skincare! 😁
Abbey, if you like this you must try the Peach Slices Acne Exfoliating Toner. Dr. Dray described it as a possible dupe to the PC 2% BHA. But it has lactic and glycolic in the mix! Sold at Ulta. I tried it on half my face using the PC and half using Peach Slices and the performance is wry similar. Both give me a shiny glow within hours. But the PC is more hydrating/greasy. The Peach dries down matte.
I have always loved Philosophy Clear Days Ahead salicylic acid 1% lotion for when I can feel my skin is going to erupt. Usually 1 or 2 applications and my face would calm down and be smooth and never dry. This Cerave seems similar, though has many more beneficial ingredients. I will definitely try it. The Philosophy is 19.50/oz.
Seeing comments about other products with all 3 exfoliants and it made me wonder if you could do a video on products with both AHAs & BHA! That would be interesting
I appreciate your commitment to detail and cost breakdown. I would like to respectfully say that I do think Cerave is the better bargain because you’re getting more actives/more superior ingredients, and the serum/treatment requires much less product to spread on your skin, thus using less at a time (in my experience). I burn through those watery toner-type things too quickly. (And side note, Asian skin care will never have real salicylic acid in their products because it’s prescription only over there. Hence, why they only use derivatives/milder forms/“cousins” to SA). That being said, and being a huge Cerave fan and buying/trying everything they’ve ever released, I still do think their Psoriasis line is their most outstanding line by far. ( Sooooo many incredible effective ingredients. And I don’t even have psoriasis). If I ever finish everything else and have to choose one (perish the thought!), it’ll be the Psoriasis cleanser/moisturizer for my acne/exfoliating actives.
🗣️ A jumbo value size (8oz for $39 which will last a long time) of Paula's Choice BHA chemical exfoliant is on sale at Nordstrom right now for their anniversary sale. It's sold out online at the moment but they do restocks and it's available in stores.👌 I'm excited to try it because it has thousands of 5 🌟 reviews.
@@curlygurlxo ugh I'm so annoyed. I ordered it 5 days ago and just now got an email that they cancelled my order. Meanwhile today I've seen the product go in and out of stock so people are ordering it today. 😑
Anytime Cerave doesn’t disclose it’s BHA content it is because it is below the % threshold considered to be effective/active ingredient. Same with Aveeno and some of its oat products. So personally I never bother with those products, they don’t do anything for me and I’m seeking out those ingredients (bha, oats) for a specific purpose. :) *to clarify yes other brands disclose bha/aha under 0.5% but legally they don’t have to since it really won’t do that much to the skin. Also COSRX bha is not salicylic acid but instead Betaine salicylate (most likely butchered the spelling 😅) this is a more gentle form of salicylic and my personal fave but it doesn’t have as much clinical studies/data behind it and seems to not work as well for those with more stubborn oily/acne skin, this is of course anecdotal, but I would say it’s much better for those with drier skin such as myself :D
Hey Abbey! Your reviews are fantastic. I love that you also talk about hair! It'd be great to hear what you think of the different Pyunkang Yul products/esp moisturizers.
I don’t know if it’s all in my head but I tried the new acne control cleanser and I noticed a difference the first time I used it. My skin looked brighter. BUT…it’s definitely can’t be used everyday like the renewing cleanser. I do feel a little tightness, I don’t know if it’s the clay in it. I like it so far 😊
I've been using the Paula's Choice one for months and haven't noticed a difference. I started using it to get rid of my tiny blackheads, particularly on my nose, but yeah, hasn't worked. I've seen other people online say that Cosrx works well for them in comparison to the PC one, so I'm going to buy that one next and try it 😊
For blackheads your can try what I did. Get the clean it zero balm and a gentle cleanser after then moisturize. The zero balm literally combines w your blackheads after a light massage and washes away! Very gentle too. Give it a shot
Abbey, you’re so funny 😆 I love your humor! Thanks for this video. Can you do an update on the cerave gel? Tell us how it performs on your skin, please.
Hmmmm. This is interesting but you are right: hard to do an apples to apples comparison. Thanks for the ingredient comparison with the commentary about the just blackheads versus blackheads plus texture piece. That was helpful. The price comparison was a real surprise.
Never tried the COSRX, but I love the Paula's choice 2% one...but thnx so much for updating us!🙏💗...I am extremely excited, just hoping we'll get it soon enough in UK😅🤣✌
You can check the ph of this product with ph test strips if you want to know the ph of this product. I use the Paula's choice and I like it but I use my aha products separately. I like the toner because it's so light but I will definitely try it and compare it to the Paula's choice liquid.
Im actually excited for this and it’s like the first time im excited for cereve product. I’ve always wanted sth that has both aha and bha. Sometimes, im just not decisive enough to choose. And product that has both are usually a peel or 10% aha
Sephora Clear Skin Days Clarifying Serum is 2% Salicylic and 5% Glycolic and it only $12 for 1.76 oz. So $6.8/oz and its fragrance free. It's actually on sale right now for $8
I wish someone would bring up the fact that Paulas choice makes a 9% BHA spot treatment. I always wondered how they can claim it has 9% considering 2% is the otc limit.
Probably because they don't market it as an acne medication on the packaging or product literature. The otc limit is specifically for products marketed for acne. In summation, a loophole. 😂
We can get testing strips for the ph. The work well and are inexpensive. Angie of Hot and Flashy has several videos testing AHAs and vitamin c serums. Fun videos I think you would enjoy!
The Cosrx uses 4% Betaine Salicylate as its BHA, not Salicylic Acid. They're both different and you can't really compare the two ingredients regarding their effectiveness...
Dr dray did a video on this the other day. And cerave new SA wash. I only see Target with them. Not cvs, ulta or walgreens yet. And I guess Amazon, but prices are higher, when I checked. But, faster delivery.
The Paula’s Choice one was a little too much for my skin. The CosRx one I can use a couple times a week but I’m not sure if the results are very noticeable… So i’m suuuper ecxited too try this and hope it wont be too strong…and i can get my hand on it in Canada 🤞🏻
I don't know what's in cosrx bha but it breaks me out every time I try it . I have tried it a number but every time I get a new break out . Paula's choice is awesome
Great video! What are your thoughts regarding Cerave reformulating their products? It is my understanding that they changed a few of their ingredients of their old products.
Thank you for these comparisons! So helpful! I'm interested in how you like the new Cerave Salicylic Acid Acne Cleanser compared to The Inkey List Cleanser!
Abbey, hi! Have you seen the new Cetaphil Gentle care cleanser and moisturizer? I'm salivating over them, as I am acne-prone and oily dehydrated and they look sooooo good. Unfortunately, they aren't available in my country. The few times I wish I live in the US (then I remember I can get Japanese sunscreens more easily over here, and reconsider 🤣)
I’ve just watched a video where Dr. Dray said to use it after moisturizer . It is more gel like so should be really used before but maybe coz it’s a bit strong!?
Would you recommend using this regularly even if you don’t have acne to replace the ‘exfoliant’ step ? I wonder what the pH of this product is ? I just get confused when they market specifically for acne type skin.
Same. It didn’t do anything for me. And I tried a PC bha exfoliant that was too drying. Hopefully this Cerave product is better on my skin given the formulation.
Thanks for the review! I'll probably be picking this up soon since my skin has freaked out from trying a couple new serums. Cerave tends to work really well for me so Ihave high hopes for it. ❤
Alright not even half way through the video and I now want to use up all my current exfoliating products and simply use this at night for exfoliating the nights I skip retinol.
Such a helpful video, thank you! Maybe you could get those PH testing strips or would that not work? Could you please link where to buy the Cerave gel? I only see the cleansers in the description box.
Hi, is it okay to use the paulas choice bha and sunday rileys good genes lactic acid serum together? Or should i use one in the morning and one at night?
Dr. Dray did a video about this product too and she said if you haven’t used a Bha on your skin before then introduce it slowly. So like once a week and then up it to 3 days weekly, then if ur skin can handle it then daily
hi abbey! love your videos and just followed you on tik tok. i was wondering, if we have super sensitive skin, would it be possible to apply this OVER our moisturizer…sort of like how differin would be applied to sensitive skin? i use cerave moisturizing cream.
Thank you Abbey for sharing. May I ask please, if I can use cerave acne gel in the morning, and adapalene at night, using both with cerave moisturising lotion with niacenamide for daily use? Please, reply..🥺 Thanks in advance..
@@AbbeyYung i've seen it in pharmacies in france ! it's slightly more expensive than the foaming but cheaper than the SA/hydrating. and when i google it i have several websites selling it already
I think you’re mistaken. CereVe does not make an oil based cleanser - at least not yet. And the concept of “foaming oil cleanser” makes no logical sense since any type of oil would disrupt the process of “foaming”.

@@bklynbutters13 interesting. I thought they didn’t have to disclose if it’s less than the 2% was the loophole. Didn’t know about the acne part of it.
@@Lwhosane No, I think if it's marketed for acne, the SA percentage has to be labeled as the active ingredient even if it's under the 2% otc limit.
The 2% limit is only applicable if it is marketed as an acne medication. But a product could have more than 2% salicylic as per the FDA.

Wow u have a beautiful skin even without more,so beautiful
Get pH paper like you used in high school chemistry to check the pH.
The cosrx product has willow bark, not salicylic acid. Similar but not the same.
The ph should not be a secret,a ph strip can easily tell us this though.
I used Cosrx BHA power liquid for 2weeks, 3 days per week. No difference 😑😑😑
Dang! Such a bummer
Same. It didn’t do anything for me. And I tried a PC bha exfoliant that was too drying. Hopefully this Cerave product is better on my skin given the formulation.

Alright not even half way through the video and I now want to use up all my current exfoliating products and simply use this at night for exfoliating the nights I skip retinol.
Such a helpful video, thank you! Maybe you could get those PH testing strips or would that not work? Could you please link where to buy the Cerave gel? I only see the cleansers in the description box.
Thx for great video, with the clear details of Cerave, would it be good for textured: aging / skin also? Seems like the ingreds are perfect !!?
You can do a test for know the PH level on this serum.
Should I use this at night or in the morning or both
It has 5% of glycolic and lactic acid combined
Hi, is it okay to use the paulas choice bha and sunday rileys good genes lactic acid serum together? Or should i use one in the morning and one at night?
Can the Cerave acne gel be used everyday pls or how often can it be used pls?I’m currently using the cosrx bha blackhead power liquid
Dr. Dray did a video about this product too and she said if you haven’t used a Bha on your skin before then introduce it slowly. So like once a week and then up it to 3 days weekly, then if ur skin can handle it then daily
hi abbey! love your videos and just followed you on tik tok. i was wondering, if we have super sensitive skin, would it be possible to apply this OVER our moisturizer…sort of like how differin would be applied to sensitive skin? i use cerave moisturizing cream.
Awesome Reviews Abbey!🤠🤠
Thank you Abbey for sharing. May I ask please, if I can use cerave acne gel in the morning, and adapalene at night, using both with cerave moisturising lotion with niacenamide for daily use? Please, reply..🥺 Thanks in advance..
Can I use it under my eyes? Tx
have you seen that cerave has a new hydrating foaming oil cleanser? i'd love to see a review bc i adore the foaming one
WHAT
Where did you see this? It’s not on their site I need immediately lol
@@AbbeyYung i've seen it in pharmacies in france ! it's slightly more expensive than the foaming but cheaper than the SA/hydrating. and when i google it i have several websites selling it already
What..... I can't. We better get it in the US!!!!!!!!!
I think you’re mistaken. CereVe does not make an oil based cleanser - at least not yet. And the concept of “foaming oil cleanser” makes no logical sense since any type of oil would disrupt the process of “foaming”.
❤️ your channel. I had acne and could get rid of my scars :)) I would love your thoughts about fully Ablative CO2 lasers...thank you!!!
You always buy CeraVe when on sale tho
You should get a pH tester kit so you don't have to wonder anymore
Love this!! Thanks cutie 😍
What are your thoughts on detox metal line by loreal? ❤️
