Cosrx One Pad Sheets

A One Step pad is a cotton pad pre-saturated with a functional essence. Instead of pouring toner onto a separate pad or using your hands, the product comes ready to use. You take one pad, wipe across the face using the textured side, then pat the remaining essence in using the smoother reverse side. The textured side provides mild physical exfoliation alongside the chemical active delivery; the smooth side soothes and presses the essence into the skin.

The two-sided application means one pad delivers both an exfoliating pass and an absorption pass in a single step - which is the basis of the "one step" positioning. This makes it faster than a standard toner plus cotton pad routine and more consistent in application across the full face.

The One-Step Original Clear Pad uses a combination of BHA (beta hydroxy acid, typically salicylic acid) and mild AHA to gently exfoliate the skin surface and clear buildup in pores. The Clear Pad is the range's active-focused variant, suited to combination to oily skin types where excess sebum and surface congestion are recurring concerns. The BHA penetrates into pores to dissolve oil-based debris, while the AHA works at the skin surface.

Available in 70 and 90 sheet packs - the 90-sheet version is the better value for regular daily use. Daily use of one pad per morning or evening provides consistent gentle exfoliation without the irritation risk of dedicated AHA or BHA serum use.

The One-Step Moisture Up Pad prioritizes hydration delivery over exfoliation. It uses hyaluronic acid and other humectants to draw water into the skin surface rather than chemical exfoliants. This variant is suited to dry or dehydrated skin types, and to people who want to simplify their routine while maintaining a hydration step rather than an exfoliation step.

The Moisture Up is also the more appropriate pad to use during periods when the skin barrier is compromised - after over-exfoliation, in winter dryness, or following a course of actives that has depleted surface hydration. At 70 sheets, the pack is equivalent to a roughly 10-week supply at daily use.

The One-Step Green Hero Calming Pad (also labeled Green Carming in some SKUs, reflecting a translation variant) is formulated with calming botanical extracts including centella asiatica and other green complex ingredients. It targets redness, sensitivity, and reactive skin rather than exfoliation or hydration as primary functions. The green botanical blend reduces the perception of irritation while still providing some toner-step moisture delivery.

Available in both 70 and 90 sheet packs, this variant suits skin that responds poorly to active ingredients and benefits from a consistent calming step instead. It is also a good recovery-phase pad to use on days when stronger actives are being given a rest.

Remove one pad from the container using clean, dry fingers or tongs if preferred. Hold the pad so the textured side faces down. Wipe from the center of the face outward in smooth strokes - forehead, cheeks, nose, chin. Avoid the eye area. Flip the pad to the smooth side and gently pat the remaining essence into the skin without wiping. Allow to absorb for 30-60 seconds before proceeding with the next step in your routine.

One pad per session is sufficient. Use once daily - morning or evening depending on which variant you choose and your routine structure. The Clear Pad can be used at either time; the Green Calming Pad is particularly useful in the morning for a calm, prepped base.

The 70-sheet and 90-sheet packs contain the same formula - the only difference is volume. At one pad per day, a 70-sheet pack lasts approximately 10 weeks and a 90-sheet pack approximately 13 weeks. The 90-sheet pack is typically more economical per pad and the right choice for anyone using a variant daily as a core step. The 70-sheet pack suits people who are rotating between two variants (for example, Clear Pad some days, Moisture Up others) or who want a backup supply without a large upfront volume.

One Step pads go immediately after the cleansing step, in the position where a toner or first essence would traditionally sit. They are applied before serums, ampoules, moisturizer, and SPF. If you also use a separate toner, apply the pad first - it functions as a first-pass active treatment and the liquid toner can follow as a hydrating second pass. The Clear Pad replaces the need for a separate BHA toner on many routines; the Moisture Up can replace a separate hydrating toner entirely.
