One Step Original Clear Skin Calming Pad

Name: One Step Original Clear Skin Calming Pad
Brand: COSRX
Price: 28.0 USD

For sensitive, blemish-prone skin needing daily calm.

The calming counterpart to COSRX's iconic Original Clear Pad — and one of the smartest moves in the brand's lineup. Where the original Clear Pad leans on willow bark and betaine salicylate for BHA exfoliation, this Skin Calming version takes the opposite approach: 82% green tea water as the formula base, plus a full Centella Asiatica Complex (asiaticoside, madecassoside, madecassic acid, asiatic acid) for serious soothing. So it works for the same blemish-prone customer, but for the days when their skin is more reactive than oily — early-stage breakouts, redness, weakened barrier, overheated skin.

The pad design is the part that earns the value. Each oversized 70mm pad is soaked in 280ml of essence (one of the highest essence volumes in the category), with an embossed side for gentle exfoliation and a soft side for soothing application. Use the smooth side as a 5-minute mini facial mask, the embossed side for everyday wiping. Around the green tea and centella, the formula leans on panthenol, allantoin, and sodium hyaluronate for hydration, with a built-in cooling effect that genuinely calms heated, irritated skin. EWG green-grade ingredients throughout, fragrance-free, and gentle enough for daily morning-and-night use.

Best For: Sensitive, redness-prone, early-blemish, or weakened-barrier skin — also a great pick for anyone whose skin reacts badly to BHA exfoliation, hot weather, or post-procedure recovery where soothing matters more than clearing.

Key Ingredients

Green Tea Water (82%) A naturally-derived extract from green tea leaves replacing purified water as the formula base. Rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that calm sensitive skin and protect against environmental stress. Centella Asiatica Complex (Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid) The full four-active centella panel. Reduces redness, supports skin recovery, and reinforces the barrier on reactive skin. Panthenol and Allantoin A soothing-and-hydrating pair that keeps reactive skin comfortable and supports recovery from irritation or early-stage breakouts. Sodium Hyaluronate A skin-identical humectant that pulls moisture into the upper layers of the skin and keeps the calming effect long-lasting. Embossed and Soft Dual-Sided Cotton Pad The pad itself. Embossed side for gentle physical buffing, soft side for soothing application or mini-mask use.

How to Use

After cleansing and toning, use the built-in tweezers to take out a pad. Gently wipe across the face from inner to outer areas, following the direction of skin texture. For areas needing intensive calming — red patches, hot spots, early-blemish zones — place the soft side directly on the skin like a mini mask and leave on for 3–5 minutes. Lightly pat any remaining essence into the skin and close the lid tightly after each use to keep the remaining pads from drying out. Use morning and evening. Tip: Keep these in the fridge for genuinely flushed, sun-stressed, or post-workout skin. The cooling effect is already built in at room temperature, but a chilled application is properly transformative for visible redness reduction — the cold reduces inflammation while the green tea and centella do their longer-term calming work. Particularly useful in summer or for menopausal skin that runs hot.
