Is this an exfoliating pad?

No. It is a hydrating, brightening toner pad with no exfoliating acids, so it won't clear dead skin or texture the way an AHA or BHA pad does.

Can I use it every day?

Yes, most people swipe one pad over the face after cleansing, morning or night. Sensitive skin may want to start once a day.

How does it compare with COSRX's other toner pads?

This is the moisture and brightening version. The brand's other pads focus on exfoliation or soothing, so this one suits dry and sensitive skin best.

100 toner-soaked pads and a built-in tweezer.

Does it replace a toner?

Yes. The pads are soaked in toner, so they replace a separate toner step.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

It is formulated for sensitive skin and most owners report no irritation, but it does contain ascorbic acid, so patch test first if your skin reacts easily.

About the COSRX One Step Original Pad

COSRX One Step Original Pad is a toner in pad form. It hydrates and clarifies the skin, leaving a plump, dewy finish. It also brightens dark spots, evens skin tone, soothes heat-stressed or irritated skin, reduces facial puffiness and tightens enlarged pores.

The formula uses rice bran water to maintain moisture balance and support even skin tone. Hyaluronic acid attracts and locks in moisture. Panthenol and pantothenic acid soothe dryness and calm irritation. Niacinamide, alpha-arbutin, ascorbic acid and glutathione work together to improve uneven tone and dullness.

The pads suit dehydrated, dry or sensitive skin. Close the lid tightly after use so the pads do not dry out.
