Picking a COSRX One Step pad
COSRX makes its One Step pads in a few versions, and they are not interchangeable. The Original Clear pad, the Moisture Up pad and the Green Calming pad each target a different skin need. This guide explains the differences and shows how to fit a pad into your routine.
What the One Step pads do
Each pad is pre-soaked in a toner-style essence, so one swipe across the face delivers the product and a light wipe in a single move. That is the one step the name points to.
They sit between cleansing and your serum or moisturizer, and they save you from pouring toner onto a cotton round separately.
The Original Clear Pad
The One Step Original Clear Pad is the exfoliating member of the family, sold as 70 ea, 70 sheets and 90 sheets. It is aimed at skin that wants help keeping pores clear and texture smooth.
Because it leans toward gentle exfoliation, start a few times a week rather than daily, especially if your skin is new to acid-style pads.
The Moisture Up Pad
The One Step Moisture Up Pad, sold in a 135ml bottle and a 70-sheet pack, focuses on hydration rather than exfoliation. It suits skin that feels tight or dry after cleansing.
You can use this one daily, since its job is to add water back rather than to slough off the surface.
The Green Calming and Green Hero pads
The One Step Green Calming Pad, sold as 135ml and 140ml 70 sheets, and the Green Hero pad in 70 and 90 sheets, are the soothing options. They are aimed at skin that looks red or feels reactive.
Reach for a green pad on days when your skin needs calm rather than exfoliation, and keep it as the gentle choice in your rotation.
Choosing a pad for your skin
If your main concern is congestion or rough texture, the Original Clear pad fits. If it is dryness, reach for Moisture Up. If your skin runs sensitive or looks irritated, the Green Calming or Green Hero pad is the safer pick.
Some people keep two types on hand and alternate, for example a clear pad a few nights a week and a calming pad on the rest.
How to use a pad in your routine
After cleansing, take one pad and sweep it gently across the face, avoiding the eye area. Use the textured side for a light wipe and the smooth side to press essence in if the pad has two sides.
Follow with your serum and moisturizer as usual. There is no need to rinse the pad essence off.
Sheet counts and bottle sizes
The pads come in different formats. Sheet packs like 70 ea, 70 sheets and 90 sheets are easy to count down, while bottle sizes such as 135ml and 140ml hold a measured amount of essence with the pads.
A larger count or bottle is the better value once you know you like a given pad, while a smaller pack is a fair way to test it first.
Can you combine the pads?
You do not need more than one pad per session, but you can rotate types across the week. A common pattern is the Original Clear pad on exfoliation nights and the Green Calming pad on recovery nights.
If you use an exfoliating pad and your skin feels sensitive afterward, switch to the calming or moisture pad the next day to let it settle.
