I've been hearing great reviews online regarding this product so I decided to finally give it a try. If you're into Korean beauty, I'm pretty sure you would have heard of this brand. Joan Kim is one of my favourite youtube vloggers and she absolutely stands by this brand so I was very curious as to how good it really is.
COSRX isn't super huge in Singapore so they have very limited products in Watsons and Guardian (but at least their shelf space is slowly increasing). If I'm not wrong, you can get yours now in Watsons for $22.90? Don't quote me on that because I got mine from Lazada.
Before delving into the product itself, here are the ingredients:
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Betaine Salicylate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Arginine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Panthenol, Allantoin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hyaluronate
What are they? These are basically pre-soaked exfoliating pads that wipe out excess oil and keep your complexion clear, refined, and well-balanced (taken from COSRX website). They have 2 sides, one embossing and one soft. First you use the embossing side to gently exfoliate all the dead skin cells. This step also takes off all the remaining make up that your cleansing steps may have failed to remove. Following that, you use the soft side to smooth everything over.
There are 70 pads inside so you can probably use it 70 times.
Quick budget tip: You can cut the pads in half so that you can "maximise" the number of uses (: HAHA super Singaporean I know.
Everything aside, how do I feel about the product?
Generally I feel that this product is super innovative and creative because for lazy people like me, having a pre-soaked pad that i can use straight out of the tub is really a dream come true.
HOWEVER, it might be because of my dehydrated skin that I felt it was a bit too drying for my liking. Then again, because it is drying, it should really help with acne. It really depends on your skin type in my opinion. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, I think this would be a really good product for you to invest in. My skin is really complicated because it's dehydrated. Dehydrated skin is not dry skin or combination skin. Basically, it's dry on the surface but oily on the inside (if that makes sense) and it's most often caused by the weather/environment. So if your skin is anything like mine, I would suggest staying away from it.
