[Cosrx] One Step Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad 100ea

1. Product Overview

A dual-textured exfoliating toner pad that helps remove excess sebum, refine uneven skin texture and support clearer, smoother-looking pores.

COSRX One Step Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad combines gentle physical exfoliation with a multi-acid formula to help address accumulated dead skin cells, excess oil and congestion.

Infused with 77.7% White Willow Bark Water and a combination of BHA, PHA and LHA exfoliating ingredients, these pre-soaked pads help improve the appearance of rough texture and visibly congested pores.

Zinc PCA complements the formula by helping manage excess oil, while Panthenol, Allantoin, Madecassoside and several forms of Hyaluronic Acid provide skin-conditioning and moisturising support.

Each oversized 70mm pad features an embossed side for gentle exfoliation and a smooth side for a softer finishing application.

With 100 pads soaked in 300ml of essence, this convenient treatment can be used on the face and blemish-prone body areas such as the back and chest.

2. Why We Chose It

At Glass Ritual, we select skincare that addresses specific concerns while keeping routines practical and purposeful.

We chose COSRX One Step Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad for its combination of multi-acid exfoliation, excess-sebum care, skin-conditioning ingredients and convenient dual-textured application.

Blackheads and clogged pores can develop when excess sebum combines with accumulated dead skin cells.

This formula brings together exfoliating ingredients that help manage that buildup, alongside Zinc PCA for oil-control support.

Its generous pad size and dual-textured design also make it a practical option for customers who prefer a ready-to-use treatment.

It earns its place in our Pore Care & Blackheads Collection and Acne-Prone Skin Collection as a targeted exfoliating pad for congestion, excess oil and uneven skin texture.

• Congestion-prone skin
• Skin with uneven or rough texture
• Those concerned about excess sebum

Introduce gradually and assess your skin’s tolerance.

5. How to Use

1. After cleansing, use the built-in tweezers to remove one pad.
2. Gently wipe from the inner to outer areas of the face with the embossed side, following the skin’s natural texture.
3. Turn the pad over to the smooth side and gently sweep across the skin again.
4. Pat the remaining essence into the skin until absorbed.
5. Follow with your preferred serum and moisturiser.
6. Close the lid tightly after use to prevent the pads from drying out.

Additional uses:

• Use the smooth side as a quick soothing facial mask.
• Use the embossed side to gently refine skin texture.
• Apply to blemish-prone areas such as the back and chest.

Frequency: Begin two to three times weekly if you are new to exfoliating treatments. Increase only according to your skin’s tolerance.

Avoid aggressive rubbing or unnecessary additional exfoliation.

6. Ritual Position

Step: Tone & Exfoliate

Apply after cleansing and before serum and moisturiser.

Morning: Use as tolerated, followed by hydrating skincare, moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Evening: Apply after cleansing to help manage excess sebum, dead skin cell buildup and uneven texture.

Because the formula contains BHA, PHA and LHA, treat these pads as an exfoliating treatment rather than a basic hydrating toner.

Avoid unnecessarily combining them with other acid toners, exfoliating pads or physical scrubs.

7. Glass Ritual Pairing

For makeup and sunscreen removal: Begin with BANILA CO Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original, followed by a gentle water-based cleanser.

For cleansing: Pair with a non-exfoliating cleanser to avoid excessive overlap between active ingredients.

For hydration: Follow with a simple hydrating serum to help maintain moisture.

For moisturising comfort: Complete your routine with Dr.G R.E.D Blemish Clear Soothing Cream.

Glass Ritual routine:

Cleanser → COSRX One Step Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad → Hydrating Serum → Moisturiser
