Works so far. Doesn't dry my face out at all. 5.0 out of 5 stars 4 types chemical exfoliation: AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 22 January 2021 Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? ) Cosrx 3 in 1 Poreless pads aim to clarify pores, minimize pores, and refine pores. This tub of scentless chemical exfoliation pads have all types of chemical exfoliation covered: AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA. I do not use chemical exfoliants daily, typically I aim for 1-3x per week for my dry skin. You know your skin best so so what works for you. The toner pads are typical in shape, size, and texture. Damp with product but not dripping wet. Jar does not contain excess toner like shown in picture. One side of the pad has texture and one side is nearly smooth. Use the textured size first, then swipe smooth side to help pat in product. More info on AHA/BHA/PHA/LHA follows below. How to Use Ingredients: For those unfamiliar with PHA & LHA, I had written a little bit about it on a similar product. Most of us are familiar with AHA & BHA, so.. Unlike AHA/alphahydroxy acids (such as glycolic, lactic, and citric acids) and BHA/betahydroxy acid (such as salicylic acid), PHA/Polyhydroxy
acid & LHA/Lipohydroxy acid are more gentle because they have a larger molecule size making them less likely to produce irritation, have humectant properties (so not drying), anti bacterial and anti inflammatory. They also have ability to "combat glycation, a process that weakens collagen and elastin in your skin". Also PHA & LHA are not as sun sensitive. While they can be used by anyone, PHA & LHA are especially great for those with dry skin or skin with other issues like Rosacea. I
have both, but my rosacea is NON acne, and is primarily redness and visible veins. Even so, more gentle products are better for my skin. With all this in mind, AHA & BHA have their place too- they are stronger, and some conditions are better suited for stronger acids. AHA & BHA have been in use for a long time. They have smaller molecules and therefor are deeper penetrating and are more susceptible to irritating skin and being sun sensitive skin. So be sure to use sunscreen, and start off low and slow with any chemical exfoliation. Enjoy the benefit of 4 types of chemical exfoliation. 5.0 out of 5 stars Fragrance-Free, Well-Formulated, Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 27 January 2021 Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? ) Cosrx was the first "Korean skincare" brand I tried. It is a good 'starter' skincare brand for anyone. Most of their products are well-suited to all skin types, especially acne-prone. They offer a wide variety of low pH cleansers, lightweight moisturizers, sunscreens you actually want to use, effective acne-treatments, and essences at affordable pricing. For user reference, I have mature (over 40), sensitive, product-reactive, fair, combination, acne-prone, congestion-prone skin. The older I get, the less oily I am. And, of course, in winter, my skin is also less oily. Anyway...the product you are here for. The Cosrx Poreless Pads (70ct) are a 3-in-1 toning pad intended to "clarify, tone, and strengthen" the skin. They come in a large, sturdy, 4.7oz plastic jar for ~$23. The clear watery essence the dual-textured pads are emersed in has BHA, PHA, LHA, and AHAs. The ingredients list is barebones and fabulous—no added colorants, essential oils, alcohol, or fragrances. The pads are lightweight, (again) dual-textured, and saturated in the treatment essence. How to
Use: You should be using an SPF regardless. Everyone should be donning SPF rain or shine, year-round, regardless of age, gender, skin tone, or type. More so when you use any actives or exfoliants in your skincare as they further sensitize you to the effects of UV-exposure. My advice as a natural redhead? Find one you like, so it is easier and more of a pleasure to use regularly. Also, do not use this alongside multiple other actives (additional AHA's, BHA's, vitamin C, adapalene, retinol, etc...) in the same am or pm routine. The combination of some can affect pH and result in one or both becoming inert or ineffective. Or it can result in over-exfoliation and irritation and damage the moisture barrier/acid mantle of the skin, which can lead to breakouts, rashes, etc. Less is more, and consistency is more important than excess when it comes to using skincare actives. Meaning, you do not need to use BHA's, AHAs, high percentages of antioxidants (vitamin C), and the like every time you wash your face. Nor do you need to layer on a medicated wash, medicated toner, medicated topical treatment, and medicated essence in the same am or pm routine. Over exfoliating, chemically and physically, will do more damage than good. Break it up a little, especially if you have sensitive skin. Start by using these poreless pads in place of another BHA or AHA in your routine and only once a day. Then increase use if needed. Do your research and see where the medicated pads will best fit into your routine. I like to use it after a no-frills, un-medicated wash, and gentle panthenol enriched non-alcohol toner. I gently sweep one of these pads across my most acne or congestion-prone areas, discard it and apply my moisturizer. If it is in the day time, I'll finish with a generous smear of SPF on all exposed areas. Are these Cosrx Poreless Pads Worth it? Con: If I didn't already have some fantastic skincare cluttering up my bathroom counter, I would likely repurchase this 70ct jar of pads. I may still, just to have them on hand. I applaud Cosrx for making these pads fragrance-free, affordable, and useful for those who struggle with mild to moderate acne and congestion. 5.0 out of 5 stars Fragrance-Free, Well-Formulated, Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin Cosrx was the first "Korean skincare" brand I tried.

I use the embossed side first to remove any dirt that didn't come off from washing and then the smooth side to push the ingredients into my skin. I wait until this has sunk into my skin and then apply a serum. I don't use these every night because I have dry, sensitive skin but usually every 3 days. These have really helped gently resurface my skin and I think they help to remove any dead skin cells and increase the turnover of the cells. My skin is a lot smoother and hydrated since using these. This is essential oil and alcohol free. Gently exfoliates and replenishes dry, dull, and sensitive skin Key Ingredients all ingredients by function Antimicrobial/antibacterial: Betaine Salicylate, Mandelic Acid Is Cosrx pad a toner?Similar to the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner, the COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad is a clarifying toner but packaged as a set of 70 pads as opposed to liquid inside a spray bottle.
