Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy
An exfoliant targeted at eviscerating whiteheads? Yes please! The AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid from COSRX is powered by glycolic acid to get rid of those annoying whiteheads, exfoliate and refine an uneven complexion. This formula uses apple water (the no. 1 ingredient) as a base, which contains natural fruit AHAs. It takes about 1-2 weeks to see visible results. And by results we mean silkier, smoother and brighter skin.
Finally, the concise formula rates a mention. The AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid contains just 10 ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and panthenol.

Best for acne-prone and congested skin prone to whiteheads. In a multi-step skincare routine, use the COSRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid after cleansing, in order to bring down the skin's pH level and prep the skin for serums or treatments.
Introduce AHAs slowly into your skincare routine, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Start with once or twice a week and building from there, winding back the frequency if your skin begins to become irritated. Apply only at night on cleansed and toned face using clean hands or a cotton pad. Wait until fully absorbed before proceeding with the rest of your skin regimen. Because AHAs can increase sensitivity to UV rays, always ensure you're wearing a high SPF during the day.
Precautions:
Stop using the product immediately and consult a dermatologist when redness, swelling, or other skin irritations occur, and consult a physician. Avoid applying the product on open wounds or skin inflammation. Keep away from direct sunlight and out of reach of infants and children.
