COSRX One Step Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad 100ea

The original exfoliating pad that tackles breakouts, pores, and dead skin in one step

Formulated with 77% willow bark water as its base and powered by BHA, PHA, and LHA, this toner pad is designed for blemish-prone skin. It gently sweeps away excess sebum and built-up dead skin while clearing out pore-clogging impurities. Zinc PCA helps regulate oil production, while pantothenic acid and panthenol calm skin that's been sensitized by breakouts. With 100 generously sized pads in a 300ml bottle, there's plenty to use not just on your face, but also on body breakout zones like your back and chest.

9 clinically proven improvements confirmed through human application tests

After 4 weeks of use, clinical testing revealed noticeable results.

• 97.73% improvement in dead skin buildup
• 34.72% reduction in pore area
• 37.93% reduction in pore volume
• 20.62% reduction in sebum levels
• 79.20% calming of redness on compromised skin
• 215.80% improvement in skin hydration

It has also completed non-comedogenic testing for acne-prone skin and hypoallergenic testing on sensitive skin, so even reactive, breakout-prone complexions can use it with confidence.

If recurring breakouts and enlarged pores are your concern

Each pad features a dual-sided design: the embossed side lifts away dead skin and impurities, while the smooth side refines skin texture for a polished finish. Five types of hyaluronic acid, madecassoside, and allantoin replenish hydration where you've just exfoliated, and adenosine contributes to wrinkle improvement, making this a functional cosmetic. It's especially well-suited for skin that experiences frequent breakouts, visibly enlarged pores, or an uneven, bumpy texture.

Use right after cleansing, before toner

The One Step Original Clear Pad is an exfoliating treatment pad designed to be used after cleansing and before toner. It sweeps away lingering dead skin cells and pore-clogging impurities that your cleanser may have missed. Following up with toner, essence, and cream after the pad helps the rest of your routine absorb more effectively.

Start with 2–3 times a week in your evening routine

Because this pad contains BHA, PHA, and LHA, it's best to start with 2–3 times per week rather than daily use. Once your skin adjusts, you can gradually increase frequency. If you use it in the morning, always follow with sunscreen. On days when your skin feels sensitive, it's perfectly fine to skip.

Wipe with the embossed side, finish with the smooth side

Take out a pad and gently wipe your face with the embossed side, following the direction of your skin texture. Avoid the eye area. Pay a little extra attention around the nose and jawline, and sweep lightly over the cheeks and forehead. Then flip to the smooth side and go over your skin once more to refine texture. You can also use it on body areas prone to breakouts, like the back or chest.

Pairing suggestions by skin concern

• Breakout-prone skin: Follow the pad with a calming essence, then seal with a lightweight hydrating cream.
• Pore and oil concerns: After a fresh, water-type toner, apply a zinc-based serum focused on the T-zone.
• Flaky, dehydrated skin: Layer on a hyaluronic acid essence to lock in moisture for longer.

Good to know before use

Since this pad contains BHA, PHA, and LHA, avoid using it on the same day as retinol products to prevent irritation. We recommend using it within 12 months of opening, and always keep the lid tightly closed to prevent the essence from drying out. If you experience redness or stinging during use, discontinue and consult a dermatologist.
