COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad Review

Review: COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad

After a particularly unfortunate run-in with a lotion that irritated my skin and broke me out, I decided I would take that opportunity to instead try out some new products. I have heard the rave reviews for the COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad and seeing as I had some pimples myself, it was the perfect time to pick it up.

COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad Description and Features

COSRX has been making a name for itself in the Korean skincare world as a brand with extremely reliable products at very affordable prices. All of the COSRX products I've tried I've loved which is a very difficult thing to say about any brand.After the Lait Creme Concentre broke me out, I was looking for a product to help me out in the healing process. I've known about the COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad for a long time. I know influencers who have tried it and raved about it as something they actively use to treat and prevent breakouts. Since I was in the middle of a breakout, it was the perfect time for a test run.The COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad is a chemical exfoliator as well as functions as a product for oil and sebum control. The main stars of this product are the Betaine Salicylate, Allantoin, and Hyaluronic Acid. Betaine Salicylate is a chemical exfoliant. This ingredient will dive deep into your pores and flush out dead skin cells. Allantoin is an anti-inflammatory and works to moisturize as well as to soothe irritation and calm down the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant and is great for hydrating and moisturizing the skin.This product also has white willow bark extract which is great as an inflammatory and soothes the skin. It's also worth noting that this product is not made with any parabens, silicones, dyes, and does not contain any added fragrance.Taking in all these ingredients, we can expect skin to be exfoliated without being irritated. We can also expect skin to be hydrated and retain moisture.

COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad Pros

I have to say that I did very much like this product. It has helped take my breakout from bad to manageable and barely noticeable. I will not say that this completely cured me of any and all breakouts and I have skin as smooth and poreless as a chicken egg now but I can definitely say with confidence that it helped speed up the healing process of the breakouts I had on my face. The pimples tha I still had on my face were relatively small when they could have been way bigger.Another incredible observation is that I had a red sore spot on my nose, the kind of hard-ish sore spot that you KNOW will just develop into a monster of a giant pimple in a few days. I used the COSRX pimple pads on it and it didn't grow into a full on pimple and two days later, it was gone completely. The pimple didn't even get a chance to emerge. I was pretty frickin pleased to say the least.Speaking to soothing and hydration, I do see a difference in my skin when I do and and don't use this pimple pad. When I use the pimple pad, my face just retains moisture a whole lot easier than when I don't use it. My face also tends to warm up and using the pimple pad helps soothe my skin as well.I could not be more pleased with the results I saw. I try to enter products with a lot of hype with a level head and zero expectations. This product worked for me and I'm very happy with it.

Cons: COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pad

The only con I saw in this product is that the sheets are all stacked on top of each other and you basically have to stick your fingers in there and fish one out. You can imagine how unsanitary this can get.I would have liked this a whole lot better if it came with little tongs to fish the sheets out in a more sanitary manner.

COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pads Final Thoughts

This is a great product. I didn't expect it to perform as well as it did so I was pleasantly surprised. This has helped me address my breakouts and mitigate the formation of some aggressive zits. Not only is this a great exfoliant and great pimple control, it didn't dry me out and helped hold in hydration in my face. Two thumbs up. If you need some pimple care, pick up this bad boy and go forth and conquer.
