COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad 100 Pads

Features

COSRX One Step Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad 100 Sheets is a multi-action facial pad engineered to address complex skin concerns such as excess sebum, clogged pores, and rough texture in a single step. Formulated specifically for blemish-prone and sensitive skin types, it combines chemical exfoliants and soothing agents to scale away dead skin cells and clear out impurities without manual extraction. Each pad is pre-soaked in a generous 300 ml capacity of essence, utilizing a large 70 mm dual-textured sheet designed for ultimate convenience and skin comfort.

The product features a custom-designed container built for ease of use, including a built-in mini tweezer secured inside the lid for hygienic handling and a sealing foil structure that opens smoothly. The dual-sided pad offers two functional surfaces: an embossed side that physically exfoliates dead skin cells and clears debris, and a smooth flat side that wipes away remaining residue, refines skin texture, and delivers targeted pore and sebum care.

Benefits

This upgraded clear pad works to target the cycle of persistent skin breakouts by removing buildup and smoothing uneven skin texture. It assists in tightening enlarged pores left behind by frequent blemishes, maintaining optimal skin condition, and delivering deep hydration. Designed for daily skin refining, it leaves the skin feeling clean, clear, smooth, and refreshed while maintaining skin comfort.

Clinical test results

Clinical human application tests conducted by the Dermacosmetic Dermatology Research Institute (tested from December 3 to December 30, 2025, on healthy adult males and females aged 14 to 59 with acne-prone skin) demonstrate significant improvements across multiple skin indicators:

In pore appearance and texture evaluations, testing showed a 20.32% improvement in skin texture/bumpiness, a 23.36% reduction in pore count, a 34.72% reduction in pore area, a 20.13% reduction in pore depth, a 37.93% reduction in pore volume, and a 23.41% improvement in pore density over a 4-week period.

In sebum and clarity assessments, results revealed a 19.34% reduction in blackheads, a 20.86% reduction in whiteheads, a 20.62% reduction in overall sebum, and a 24.18% reduction in oiliness. Additionally, tests measured a 79.20% soothing effect on damaged skin redness, a 215.80% improvement in skin hydration, and confirmed suitability for acne-prone skin (non-comedogenic) alongside a primary skin irritation test for sensitive skin suitability.

Usage instructions

After cleansing, use the mini tweezers fixed in the cap to take out a pad. Gently wipe the embossed side across the face, focusing on areas with excess dead skin cells, sebum, and clogged pores while avoiding the eye area. Flip the pad over to the smooth flat side and gently sweep across the face to refine skin texture and pat in remaining essence. Ensure the lid is securely closed after each use to keep the pads moist and fresh.
