Two-sided cotton pads pre-soaked in an essence with 85.9% willow bark water and 1% betaine salicylate. The textured side exfoliates and the soft side picks up what is left. From COSRX, a Korean skincare brand.

Key ingredients

• Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water (85.9%): A plant-derived base that helps smooth skin texture
• Betaine Salicylate (1%): A gentle BHA that helps exfoliate and clear the look of pores
• Panthenol and Allantoin: Help soothe and comfort the skin

Best for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin, or anyone with rough, dull-looking texture.

1. After cleansing, swipe the textured side of one pad over the face, avoiding the eyes and lips.
2. Flip and use the soft side to pick up any remaining residue.
3. Follow with the rest of your routine. Wear sunscreen during the day.

• Contents: 70 pads
• Skin type: Oily, combination, blemish-prone

Patch test on a small area before first use. Avoid the eye area. Because this formula contains exfoliating acids, it can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Wear sunscreen daily and introduce it slowly, starting a few times a week. Stop use if irritation occurs. Contains tea tree and orange peel oils.

Can I use them every day?

COSRX says they are gentle enough for daily use. If your skin is new to acids, start a few times a week.

Do I need to rinse after?

No. Let the essence absorb and carry on with your routine.
