How to open this recessed faucet aerator? It seems very hidden inside!

faucetrepair

We need to install a faucet filter and have a problem removing our kitchen faucet recessed aerator.

I googled and saw some examples on YouTube but not sure if our recessed aerator is same as the ones on the videos.

We already tried using a anti-slip cloth to squeeze the aerator and also use an adjustable wrench to open it but all didn’t work.

Please let us know if you know what else we could try to open it.

Please just grip it with pliers and unscrew it (counter/anti-clockwise if you are looking directly at it). Don't worry about damage, they are like $3 US.
