Product details

A purple jar of Onion Newpair Clear Pad on a lavender table beside whole and halved red onions

Blemish care pads

Thick cotton pads soaked in an essence that is 82% red onion extract, to calm blemishes, clear pores and even out tone.

Isntree’s Onion Newpair Clear Pad is made with red onions grown in Muan, Korea, slowly extracted at a low temperature. Each soft, seven-layer cotton pad holds a generous amount of essence with soothing heparin and heartleaf, brightening niacinamide and tranexamic acid, and gentle PHA to smooth away dead skin.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Muan red onion

    The base of the essence instead of water. Red onions grown in Muan’s red clay are rich in minerals and flavonoids such as quercetin, which Isntree uses to soothe skin and care for blemishes.

    No. 1 of 24 on the list

  • Sodium heparin + 3 complex

    Isntree’s soothing complex: heparin to smooth, allantoin to hydrate and calm, heartleaf to calm and panthenol to protect skin.

    No. 7, 8, 9, 10 of 24 on the list

  • Tone-evening trio

    Niacinamide, tranexamic acid and a vitamin C derivative work together to fade the look of dark spots left by blemishes and keep skin from looking dull.

    No. 6, 16, 17 of 24 on the list

  • PHA + hyaluronic acid

    PHA has larger molecules than AHA or BHA, so it removes dead skin cells and smooths texture with less irritation. Three hyaluronic acids keep skin moist.

    No. 12, 13, 14, 18 of 24 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Neem flower
  • Ivy gourd

How to use

Wipe, or leave on as a mask

  1. 1

    Cleanse

    Wash your face and pat it dry.

  2. 2

    Wipe

    Take out a pad and wipe gently in the direction of your skin’s texture. The thick pads are easy to pick up without tongs.

  3. 3

    Split + mask

    For extra care, peel a pad apart into thinner layers and leave them on blemish-prone areas for 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pat in

    Pat in what’s left, then follow with the rest of your routine. Pads can also be used on the body.

Good to know

  • Made for acne-prone skin and for blemishes, dark marks and uneven tone, per Isntree.
  • Contains PHA, a gentle exfoliant. Wear sunscreen during the day.
  • Contains sodium heparin, which is usually animal-derived.
  • The pads start out purple and may fade towards white over time from the plant extracts. Isntree says this does not affect quality.
  • 60 pads in a 250 mL jar. The pads are 100% cotton.
