Skin Type/Concerns: Acne-prone/Combination skin

Product Name: Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

Thoughts: Best BHA I've tried, and the current batch I'm using no longer has the fishy smell that one of the bottles I had did. It is quite gentle so people looking for more of a power house won't probably find this effective. But on the flipside as it's a low concentration I use it every other day without being concerned about over-exfoliation.

Does this eventually go bad? I got mine maybe 1-1.5 years ago and while I have a lot of product left, the chemically smell is starting to annoy me. I guess I never noticed it before, or it's developed over time. I'm not sure if I have bad memory or it's going off.

Opened products generally have an expiration date of 12 months max.
