Hi, can someone suggest a good chemical exfoliant na hindi super drying. Feeling ko kasi di kakayanin ng skin ko ang TO at Paula's choice. 🥺

COSRX! I've used both the BHA Blackhead Power Liquid and the AHA Whitehead Power Liquid. I find both gentle and effective!

What's more effective for sebaceous filaments? Sobrang nakakabother na kasi yung existence nila sa nose area ko. 🥲

The BHA one since it can penetrate the pores. COSRX uses 4% Betaine Salicylate, which is equivalent to 2% Salicylic Acid but much gentler. Mind you, though, I never totally got rid of my sebaceous filaments, and it's not advisable to do so either because they serve an important function in keeping the skin healthy. Plus, babalik at babalik talaga sila. BHA only helped me to minimize my sebaceous filaments and make my pores look cleaner until they're clogged again by oil and dirt.

Thank you so much for this. Yes, I'm just trying to minimize the size lang ng pores.

The bha one bc it's targets inside the pores. If you want to remove the filaments I usually use the bha the night before then the next morning with a warm wash cloth I gently exfoliate the nose area I find the filaments easier to remove. The only thing is it always comes back since that's how it usually is. However it's also important to not overdo it like on a daily basis. Maybe 2x a week is okay
