COSRX OneStep Original Blemish Pore Clear Pads, 100 Dual‑Sided Exfoliating Pads with BHA, PHA & Hyaluronic Acid

COSRX OneStep Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad is a dual-sided exfoliating pad that cleanses, refines pores and soothes blemish-prone skin using BHA, PHA, Zinc PCA and five forms of hyaluronic acid.

These pre-soaked, generously sized pads combine chemical and physical care to help reduce excess sebum, support clearer-looking pores and maintain hydration. Designed in Korea for face and body use, the pads are convenient for quick treatments and targeted care where blemishes and rough texture appear. The formula balances gentle acids with hydrating ingredients so you can use them in a routine without overdrying.

How do these pads improve congested or oily skin?

The dual-action approach targets surface debris and pore congestion. Salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates oil-filled follicles to help loosen buildup while PHA offers mild exfoliation with less irritation. Zinc PCA helps control sebum production and reduce the environment that can encourage blemishes.

• BHA clears inside pores to reduce blackheads and congestion.
• PHA refines surface texture with low irritation risk.
• Zinc PCA helps balance oil levels and calm stressed skin.
• Large pad size lets you treat face and body where needed.

What makes the dual-sided pad format useful in a skincare routine?

One side of each pad is softly textured to remove flakiness and lift impurities; the other side is smooth for gentle tone and hydration. This lets you follow a single-pass method—exfoliate, then swipe to soothe—so you save time while still receiving layered benefits.

• Textured side provides light physical exfoliation and debris removal.
• Smooth side finishes with calming, moisturizing actives.
• Pre-soaked pads remove the need for separate serums immediately after use.
• Portable packet supports travel and quick touch-ups.

Can these pads hydrate as well as exfoliate without drying the skin?

Yes—five types of hyaluronic acid are included to restore and hold moisture at different skin layers while acids refine texture. The formulation avoids strong astringents so skin feels balanced, not stripped, after use. Follow with moisturizer for best long-term hydration.

• Multiple hyaluronic acids hydrate both surface and deeper layers.
• Mild acid concentrations reduce irritation risk when used as directed.
• Suitable for occasional full-body application (back, chest, elbows).
• Use frequency can be adjusted by skin sensitivity.

How should I use the OneStep pads in my daily or weekly regimen?

Use after cleansing: swipe the textured side across target areas, then flip to the smooth side to tone and hydrate. For beginners or sensitive skin, start 2–3 times weekly and increase as tolerated. Avoid combining with other strong actives on the same day to reduce irritation.

• After cleansing, sweep textured side across skin; flip to smooth side for finishing touch.
• Use 2–3 times per week initially; adjust frequency per tolerance.
• Follow with sunscreen in daytime routines.
• Not recommended for use on broken or severely irritated skin.

Who is this for: These pads suit people with oily or blemish-prone skin seeking a time-saving exfoliation and pore-care step that also preserves moisture. They work well for anyone wanting targeted treatment on facial and body areas (back, chest, underarms) and for travelers who prefer pre-soaked, dual-purpose pads. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, patch-test first and reduce frequency as needed.
