If your skin is prone to irritation and redness, these pre-soaked pads offer a quick, convenient way to calm and prep your skin without harsh rubbing.

• Skin Type: Best for sensitive, irritated, and acne-prone skin.
• Primary Concern: Redness, inflammation, and a damaged skin barrier.
• Key Feel: A cooling, watery essence that feels refreshing on the skin.
• Results: Immediate soothing of redness and a reduction in irritation over time.

• 1) Cleanser — quick wash; clean base.
• 2) [THIS PRODUCT] — gently swipe or place on irritated areas.
• 3) Moisturiser (PM) / Sunscreen (AM) — seal & protect.
• Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3–4 steps):

• 1) Cleanser.
• 2) [THIS PRODUCT] — Gently swipe the embossed side over your face and then pat in the excess essence.
• 3) Targeted Serum (optional).
• 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+.

Wait times: 30–60s between watery layers; 1–2 min before SPF/makeup.

Minimalist (3 steps):

• 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if makeup/water-resistant SPF: oil → water).
• 2) [THIS PRODUCT] — Gently swipe the embossed side over your face and then pat in the excess essence.
• 3) Moisturiser/Oil (lock in hydration if needed).

Texture rule: thinnest → thickest.

• Daily Use — AM/PM:
• Amount: Use one pad per application.
• Apply to: Face and neck. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Method: After cleansing, gently wipe the embossed side of the pad over your face, avoiding the eye area. Use the soft side to pat in the remaining essence for better absorption. For an extra soothing effect, you can leave the pads on irritated areas for a few minutes as a mini-mask.
• Wait times: 30–60s between watery layers; 1–2 min before SPF/makeup.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both morning and night, to prep and calm the skin.
• If-This / Then-That:
• Very oily T-zone? Focus on this area for a gentle swipe to remove excess oil without stripping the skin.
• Very dry/AC? The pads provide a quick hydration boost, but still follow with a rich cream to lock in moisture.
• Sensitive/reactive? Do a patch test first. The pads contain BHA, which can be irritating to some skin types, but the formula is balanced with Centella Asiatica to soothe and calm.
• Watchouts (1 line): Pilling = too much product or short waits; sensitivity = stacking strong actives; “no results” = inconsistent SPF.
• Safety: Avoid broken/irritated skin. Stop if burning rash. Teens: cleanser–moisturiser–SPF; avoid strong actives unless clinician-guided.

These pads contain a small amount of BHA for gentle exfoliation and can be used daily or on nights when you are not using other strong actives.

• Daily: Use AM and PM as a soothing toner step.
• Example week (PM focus): Mon [THIS PRODUCT] · Tue Soothing night (no strong actives) · Wed Exfoliant (if separate) · Thu [THIS PRODUCT] · Fri Soothing night · Sat Off or Sleeping Pack · Sun Soothing night

AM/PM cheat-sheet (auto-render relevant bullets): Vitamin C AM daily; Niacinamide AM/PM; AHA/BHA/PHA PM 1–3×/week; Retinal/Retinol PM 2–4×/week; Eye creams AM+PM (½ rice grain per eye).

Mauritius note: The pads are excellent for a quick calming effect on hot, humid days and are especially useful after a long day outdoors to reduce redness and irritation.

Safety: If irritation occurs, reduce frequency to 2×/week, switch to soothing nights, and follow patch-test guidance.

• Immediate: Skin feels calm, refreshed, and hydrated. The pads have an immediate cooling effect that soothes redness.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in overall redness and fewer minor breakouts.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Sustained use helps to strengthen the skin's barrier, leading to less sensitivity and a more even skin tone.

These pre-soaked pads are a safer, more hygienic alternative to a bottle of toner with cotton pads, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring a consistent application of the formula with each use.

Works well with:

• All Actives: These pads can be used to prep the skin before applying a stronger active, as they are gentle and soothing.
• Barrier Repair: The Centella Asiatica and Panthenol help to soothe and repair a compromised skin barrier.

Use carefully with:

• Retinoids and strong acids: While the BHA content is low, these pads can still increase the risk of over-exfoliation and irritation if used on the same night as a strong retinoid or AHA.

Avoid on:

• Open wounds or broken skin: The pads contain a small amount of BHA and other botanicals that may cause a stinging sensation on broken or irritated skin.

• Oily / Combination Skin: The pads provide a gentle exfoliation with BHA to keep pores clear and control oil.
• Dry / Dehydrated Skin: Hydrates and soothes dry patches with Centella Asiatica and Panthenol.
• Sensitive / Redness-Prone Skin: The calming formula is designed to reduce redness and irritation.

• Redness: The pads are saturated with Centella Asiatica and Tea Tree Oil, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties that calm redness.
• Pores: The Betaine Salicylate (BHA) provides gentle exfoliation to clear out impurities and reduce the appearance of pores.
• Irritation: The pads are soaked in a cooling essence that soothes and calms irritated and overheated skin.

• Official Korean Name: 원스텝 오리지날 클리어 패드 (One Step Original Clear Pad).
• Version/Reformulation: This is a newer version of the original pad, formulated with a focus on calming ingredients.

• Ingredient rationale: The product's calming and exfoliating properties are based on the inclusion of Centella Asiatica and Betaine Salicylate. Centella Asiatica is known for its anti-inflammatory effects that soothe skin, and Betaine Salicylate is a gentle BHA that exfoliates and keeps pores clear.
• Brand claim: The claim that the pads are "one step" is a brand claim. While they can be used as a standalone toner, they are not a substitute for cleansing and moisturizing.

With 70 pads used once daily, this product will last approximately 2-3 months. A reorder every two months is a good cadence to ensure a consistent supply.

These pads are an excellent calming and prep step that pairs well with a variety of cleansers and moisturizers. They can also be used as a standalone toner for a quick and simple routine.

Based on reviews on Reddit's r/AsianBeauty, users praise this product for its ability to calm down redness and soothe irritated skin. A reviewer shared, "These pads feel so refreshing, especially on my sensitive skin after a long day in the heat." Some users also found that using these pads consistently helped them reduce the number of small blemishes and breakouts, but a common complaint was that they dried out quickly after opening the jar. A fair caveat mentioned is that while the BHA content is low, those with very sensitive skin still experienced a slight tingle, so they preferred using it every other day.
