Earned a permanent spot in my routine
I have yet to find anything from COSRX that I don’t love, and these are no exception. I picked up both this version and the Lifting and Glow pads, and I’ve been very happy with both.You get 100 fully saturated pads per jar, which alone makes the price feel like a great deal. Each pad is generously sized with plenty of serum to cover my whole face, neck, and chest without needing a second one.One thing I appreciate so far, is that they actually hydrate while they clean. When I use products that are too drying, my skin overcorrects and ends up even more oily. These are perfectly balanced, so they feel gentle and hydrating while still doing what I need them to do. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in hormonal breakouts and blackheads when I use them consistently, and my skin texture stays noticeably smoother. The ingredients work well and actually manage to do so without any irritation, and I love that their only smell is from the active ingredients rather than unnecessary added fragrance.The thing I’m most excited about though, is how well they work in my ears!I get an embarrassing amount of blackheads in my ears if I don’t remember to use an exfoliant daily. Cleaning them regularly without using something specifically for blackheads just doesn’t cut it. I’m happy to report these work amazingly well to keep them looking clear. It’s honestly rare for me to find something that works this well for my ears.Overall, I’d highly recommend these to anyone dealing with acne, excess oil, or enlarged pores. They’ve earned a permanent spot in my routine.

Gentle, Effective, and a Great Value For Sensitive, Acne-prone Skin
I’ve been using these COSRX OneStep Original Clear Pads for a little while now, and so far they’ve been a great addition to my routine.My skin is acne-prone (mostly hormonal from medication), dry, and sensitive, so I have to be careful with using pretty much anything. I already use benzoyl peroxide in my facial wash in the morning and adapalene (Differin) at night, which helped treat breakouts but didn’t fully prevent them. Since adding these pads – I use them on alternating nights with Differin – I’ve noticed fewer new breakouts and overall clearer skin.I haven’t experienced any irritation, redness, or extra dryness, which is rare for me (I also have mild rosacea). They exfoliate lightly without making my skin feel stripped, and the dual-sided pads are easy to use. They also don’t leave behind any noticeable residue.I also think this is an excellent value – around $20 for 100 pads. Using them every other night, this will easily last me over six months.Everyone’s skin is different, but for me this has worked well for maintaining clearer skin, especially since my skin is easily aggravated.

So far, so good
I want to start with these are not blemish pads like the ones we had in the 90’s – you know what I mean; the ones in the jar which stung so bad. The toner pads make my skin feel refreshed and it’s hard to believe these will help balance my skin and reduce blemishes. There is no burning or dryness. Here is one fancy thing: there is a tiny pair of tweezers which have a little holder on the underside of the lid. One side of the toner pad is textured for a light exfoliation, in my opinion, and the other side is smoother which feels like you are sweeping the liquid over your face. The smoother side reminds me of a face mask whereas when you’re done there is a tiny bit of liquid left over to pat on your face, but just a tiny bit.
