Haven't used the cosrx one but I reviewed the isntree one. For a beginner, seems great. More on the gentle side so effects might take awhile

I personally like the Isntree so much! I'm quite picky but I can say it's my HG atm 😍 The formulation is just perfect for my skin, it does help improving textures and not feel drying/stinging. Both are amazing for dry skin but if you have sensitive or new to exfoliant, you might start with the lower percentage

I thought the same! since Cosrx had a lower percentage, I started with that. I did some patch tests before trying on my face but then it started stinging and my skin turned red and irritated. So after a few months, I thought I'd try my unopened Isntree bottle last night. For some reason this was fine? I wonder if it's because it's 4% split with another acid?
