## Key benefits

- Willow bark water, not plain water, is the first ingredient
- Betaine salicylate and capryloyl salicylic acid share the pore work
- Zinc PCA and gluconolactone help balance oily, congestion-prone skin
- Madecassoside and five hyaluronate entries keep the swipe comfortable

## How it works

A plain cotton pad wiped over congested, oily zones does not clear the buildup sitting in the pores. This pad opens with willow bark water, then lists betaine salicylate and capryloyl salicylic acid, with zinc PCA balancing surrounding oil. Madecassoside and hyaluronate entries sit underneath to keep the pass comfortable rather than stripping. Skin that responds looks less congested with repeated use, not after one swipe. Sweep the textured side over problem zones first, then the smooth side over the rest of the face.

## How to use

1. Use one pad from the One Step Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad straight after cleansing, morning or evening.
2. Sweep the textured side outward across the congested areas, then press the smooth side over the rest of the face.
3. It replaces the toner step, so serum and moisturizer follow while skin is still damp.
4. One pad a session, once or twice a day. Do not go back over the same area again and again; a soaked pad is an application tool rather than a scrub.

## FAQ

### What is the One Step Original Blemish Pore Clear Pad for?

This is an oversized pre soaked pad built on willow bark water as its lead ingredient, with betaine salicylate and capryloyl salicylic acid further down the list working the pore side of things, plus zinc PCA for oil balance. It sits in the toner step, right after cleansing, aimed at congested, oily zones rather than at hydration alone. The textured side of the pad does the physical sweeping while the base ingredients do the rest.

### Is this pad suitable for oily, blemish prone skin?

Yes, that is the skin type it is built around: two salicylate style ingredients sit on the list alongside zinc PCA and gluconolactone, and there is no added fragrance, denatured alcohol, silicone, or sulfate surfactant to further provoke already reactive breakout prone skin. Very dry or compromised skin may want to start with the smooth side only, or every other day, before working up to daily use. Madecassoside is also present to help keep the routine comfortable.

### How does this pad behave with continued use over time?

Congestion does not clear from one swipe. The salicylate style ingredients and gluconolactone work on pores and texture gradually with repeat use, so daily use over several weeks is what shows the difference, not a single session. Skin that is adjusting to the textured side may feel mild sensation at first that eases as it gets used to the routine. Consistency in the toner step matters more than any single application.

### Can I layer this with a brightening serum or a retinoid?

No retinoid and no brightening-acid derivative sits on this list, so a separate brightening or retinoid step slots in cleanly after this pad in your routine. Because the pad already carries salicylate style exfoliation, adding a strong acid serum in the same session can be more than skin needs at once, so many routines separate acids and retinoids to different times of day. Let the pad absorb fully before applying the next step.

### How can I tell my Blemish Pore Clear Pad is the real Korean market COSRX formula?

COSRX runs its own verification for this line rather than leaving it to us: the process happens on cosrx.com, where you enter the batch number and expiration date printed on your unit and read the result back from COSRX directly. We source and list this as authentic Korean market COSRX stock, with the Korean packaging and Hangul ingredient panel under our English over label as the physical record. Checking the code on your own box, not a number we print here, is the point of that system.
