Claims: "...is designed to wipe away excess dirt, oil and purify clogged pores with exfoliating pre-moistened pads."
pH level: 4.0±0.5 (from official website)Scent: Strong tea tree+citrus scent - probably due to essential oils used.Material/texture: Circular cotton pads with one embossed side & one plain, smooth side.Rambly review/how I use it:Advertised as an exfoliating toner to remove residue after cleansing and/or to smoothen the complexion before makeup, I was disappointed to find that it irritated my skin whenever I used it that way. BUT, I was determined to find a way to prevent wastage, and since I was new to chemical exfoliation at the time, I decided to use this (1x/week) in the BHA step of Fiddy's "SF minimizing procedure" of BHA-clay mask-oil cleanse before following up with my usual routine and a sheet mask to prevent moisture loss. Thankfully, this has worked wonders for me! So while it takes a huge chunk of time whenever I choose to use the Cosrx pads, the smooth skin I get in return is definitely worth it.tl;dr: I only use the pads when I feel that my skin is too clogged via Fiddy's method as a BHA substitute, as I cannot use them daily due to my skin being easily irritated from physical exfoliation. for this, It works well, but the full routine does take out a chunk of my time. However, the soft skin I get in return is usually worth it.
Verdict: 3/5. Ny rating would be 2/5 if used everyday in place of a toner as it sadly causes my skin irritation, but 4/5 for a weekly deep exfoliation. Hence, an average of 3/5 overall.
