[Review] The Ultimate Exfoliator Pads Products: Cosrx One Step Pimple Clear Pad and Neogen Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Lemon
September 17, 2017
To someone who has a quite problematic skin like me (dull, acne prone with hyperpigmentation, etc), exfoliating is a must thing to include on my skincare regime. I personally started using exfoliator products since I was a teen, probably around 15 years old. At that time, I use physical exfoliation that can easily found in the market.
Since I have reached my early 20s, I try to find skincare products that can fulfil my skin need, especially product that can help me to reduce my hyper-pigmentation and acne. Later on, I finally found this Cosrx One Step Pimple Clear Pad and Neogen Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Lemon through some research on internet. I watch Joan Kim videos on Youtube about how she falls in love deeply with this Cosrx Pad the I got curious about it (I have quite the same skin type with her which is dry and acne prone) and I finally gave it a try. For Neogen Bio-Peel, I got the information from Sokoglam Youtube channel and website, which again, caught my attention, because it promises to make our skin clearer, smoother and brighter.

What is it?
This new Korean brand has been a hype since a year ago. Cosrx products are made for people with problematic skin (sensitive, acne prone, etc). Their packaging is of course included on my favorite list, simple yet very cute. This Pimple Clear Pad is one their most popular product and everyone literally raves about how good it is for people with acne. I personally have been using it for almost a year and repurchased my second jar a month ago. It is rare for me to repurchase a product, unless it is a product that work well for my skin.
Review:
I use this pimple pad as my exfoliating toner after I wash my face. It contains BHA from Willow Bark Water which is known as a chemical exfoliator that can help to purify your skin deeply to your pores from any dirt and oil, which is good for people with acne. I love how convenient it is to use, as it is in a pre-soaked pad, so we don't have to use any cotton pad, and of course it is travel friendly. What I do is just wipe my face with the embossing side first, then softer side to wipe the remaining debris. It safe to use everyday and for me I use it only at PM. What I can see now is my face is much much much clearer than before. I had so many clogged pores around my chin and now they are just gone. I used to have acnes around my cheeks and it was really hard to diminish them. One gone, another pop out again which was really frustrating. This pads really help me to heal those acne that I had, and now it is rare for me to get massive breakouts, I only have one or two pimples during my period, which is again, a huge improvement.
I really recommend this for people with oily or dry and acne prone skin. It doesn't dry out my skin which is a good thing. It really helps with acne, once again, I swear. It contains 70 pads which lasts you 2 months of usage for only 2xxK rupiahs. So of course 5/5 <3

What is it:
This is, again, another hit from Korean skincare. Everyone (again) raves about it because it is a simple exfoliating pad, that makes the application easy and convenient. This product also has the same idea with the Cosrx Pimple Pad in terms of form, which is pads that have been pre-soaked with chemical exfoliator. The difference is that The Cosrx pimple pad is a exfoliating toner while this Neogen Bio-Peel is an exfoliant that supposed to be use twice or three times a week. It has bigger size of pads and ha a gauze peeling in one side and emboss peeling on the other side. It also has a sleeve to put your fingers in it. They have three variants which are Lemon, Wine, and Green Tea. Mine is the Lemon one because my main concern is my dull skin and post acne scars.
Review:
I have been using this for three months and I love it so much! It is really convenient. I like how the pad has gauze peeling side which is really good for exfoliating. It smells just like lemon. Its main ingredients, Lemon, is rich in vitamin C that is really famous acid for brightening your skin. It is also contained Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid, another chemical exfoliants that can cleanse through your pores deeply and also hydrates your skin. I use this only twice a week. After I wash my face, I swipe it onto my face with gauze peeling side first then the emboss side to finish it. remember that you have to rinse your face after using this product. Every time I use this pad, I can see that my skin becomes much brighter, radiant and smoother. Yes, it gives those immediate results right after you use it. It helps with my post acne scar too, and I can see my complexion improves either in texture and the tone. This product is really a game changer in my skincare routine. For the price, it is quite pricey but then again, you got 30 pads inside and you only use it twice a week so it lasts you months.
I recommend this for people who is looking for an exfoliating product, that can help to brighten the skin and improve your skin texture.It is really good for people with dull skin and have problem with post acne scars like me. You can also try their Wine (for anti-aging) and Green Tea (for anti-oxidant) variants depending on your skin concern! Overall 4.5/5!
