Why you'll love it
- 70 pre-soaked cotton pads per jar
- Betaine salicylate, a mild BHA that exfoliates and helps clear pores
- Centella asiatica, green tea and aloe for a calm-feeling finish
- Embossed side to wipe, smooth side to pat in the remaining essence
- Made in Korea; suitable for all skin types
How to use
After cleansing, wipe the embossed side over your face in gentle circles, focusing on the T-zone, nose and chin and avoiding the eyes and lips. Flip to the smooth side and pat in the remaining essence, then follow with toner, serum and moisturizer. Start 2 to 3 times a week; oily or combination skin can move to daily use, while sensitive skin should use it less often.

FAQs
How often can I use the Clear Pads?
COSRX suggests starting 2 to 3 times a week to test tolerance. Oily and combination skin can build up to daily use, while sensitive skin should keep to fewer sessions.
What is the active exfoliant?
The pads use betaine salicylate, a gentle form of BHA that works inside pores to lift away dead skin cells and excess sebum. Centella, green tea and aloe keep skin feeling calm.
