5.0 ★ · 1 review-
i’ve been using these every night for a few weeks—always feels like a little spa moment. the pads are super thin and cling so well, just leave them on for 10 mins and your skin feels calm, hydrated & not tight. helped with redness too. just wish they were easier to peel apart when wet
Hanna
COSRX Pure Fit Cica Pad is a jar of 90 pads soaked in an essence built on COSRX's CICA-7 complex (83.2%), seven forms of centella, with panthenol, allantoin and sodium hyaluronate. Swipe one on as a toner, or rest it on warm, stressed-looking areas for 5 to 10 minutes as a quick calming mask.
What it does
The 83.2% CICA-7 complex, seven centella ingredients including madecassoside, is there to help sensitised skin feel calmer, which is how our box describes the pad. Panthenol, glycerin and sodium hyaluronate hydrate, while water mint and menthyl lactate give the cooling feel: our box notes a human application test for an immediate drop in skin temperature, and COSRX put that drop at 7.3% after use.
Why we chose it
We chose it as a cooling, calming toner pad that doubles as a 5 to 10 minute mask, handy on days your skin feels warm after sun or actives. COSRX say the pads are naturally derived and biodegradable.
Best for
- Skin that feels red, warm or irritated
- Calming skin after retinoids or exfoliating acids
- Dehydrated skin that wants a light layer of moisture
- A quick toner step on busy mornings
- Oily or combination skin that prefers light textures
Not ideal if
- You dislike a cooling feel or react to mint: it contains water mint extract, a second mint extract and menthyl lactate
- You want exfoliating pads: these contain no acids
- Your skin is very dry: follow with a richer moisturiser, as the pads alone are light
Key ingredients
- CICA-7 complex (83.2%): seven centella ingredients to soothe
- Panthenol and allantoin: comfort
- Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin: hydration
- Water mint extract and menthyl lactate: a cooling feel
- Alpha-arbutin: a minor brightening extra, not the reason to buy these pads
Texture and finish
Thin, soft pads in a clear, watery essence that feels cool on the skin and leaves no stickiness.
Where it goes in your routine
After cleansing, in place of toner, morning or evening. Wipe one pad over the face and neck, or leave it on red or warm areas for 5 to 10 minutes. Pat in the leftover essence, then serum and moisturiser. Close the lid tightly.
What to expect
Skin feels cooler and calmer straight away. Our box states a low-irritation test was completed, but the mint extracts and menthyl lactate mean a patch test is still worth doing before daily use.
Quick facts: 90 pads · 83.2% CICA-7 complex · Contains mint · AM or PM · COSRX, made in Korea
- Use after cleansing, in place of toner, morning or evening.
- Lift out one pad with clean fingers or tweezers and wipe it over the face and neck.
- To use it as a mask, leave the pad on the areas that need calming for 5 to 10 minutes, as the box directs.
- Pat the leftover essence into the skin, then follow with serum and moisturiser.
- Keep it away from the eyes, as the box warns, and close the lid tightly after each use so the pads don't dry out.
- Patch test first if you are new to cooling products: it contains two mint extracts and menthyl lactate.

Good to know
- Contains water mint and a second mint extract, plus menthyl lactate (cooling)
- No fragrance and no essential oils in the listed ingredients
- No retinoid and no exfoliating acids
- Contains alpha-arbutin
- Contains 83.2% Pure Fit CICA-7 complex, as the box states
- The box states a low-irritation test was completed
- Box caution: for external use only. Do not get into eyes.
- Box caution (Korean, translated): if red spots, swelling or itching appear during or after use, including after direct sunlight on the area, stop and seek advice from a specialist. Do not use on broken skin. Keep out of reach of children and away from direct sunlight.
Are these exfoliating pads?
No. There are no exfoliating acids in the list. These are hydrating, calming pads, so they suit days when you want to soothe rather than resurface.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It depends on your skin. COSRX designed these pads for sensitised skin and our box states a low-irritation test was completed. They also contain water mint, a second mint extract and menthyl lactate for the cooling feel, which some reactive skin dislikes. Patch test first.
How long should I leave a pad on?
Five to ten minutes, as the box directs, on the areas that need calming. Then remove it and pat the leftover essence in.
Will it help with redness?
It is a cosmetic calming step: it helps skin that looks red or feels warm feel cooler and more comfortable. It is not a treatment for a skin condition, so persistent redness is worth discussing with your GP.
Can I use it after retinoids or exfoliating acids?
Yes, that is one of the reasons we chose it: there are no acids or retinoid in the formula, so it adds a calming, hydrating layer on those evenings. Skip the mask step if the mint feels uncomfortable on freshly treated skin.
