Key Benefits

  • Clears — Dissolves buildup and unclogs pores
  • Smooths — Refines rough, uneven texture
  • Calms — Reduces redness from breakouts and irritation
  • Brightens — Fades post-acne marks and evens skin tone

How to Use

After cleansing, use the textured side of the pad to gently polish skin in small circular motions, avoiding the eye and lip area. Then flip to the soft cotton side to smooth and refresh. Rinse off with lukewarm water after use. Use 2–3 times per week, AM or PM.

Follow with JIYU Toner Pads twice a day to maintain daily glow, then JIYU NAD+ Anti-Aging Cream to lock in hydration and protect. Always wear SPF the morning after use.

Pro tip: Press a pad onto a single blemish for 5–10 minutes as a fast targeted spot treatment.

Where to Use

  • Face — T-zone, cheeks, chin (avoid eye area)

Customers praise these dual-textured exfoliating pads for deep cleaning pores and treating acne. Many report smoother, brighter skin and reduced breakouts after use. The textured side effectively exfoliates while remaining gentle on sensitive skin. Some noted pads are less saturated than expected, and a few saw minimal results initially. Must rinse after use.

Absolutely amazing! After I cleanse my face and use the exfoliating side and then use the soft side. I let it dry before I rinse it off and my skin is softer and uneven spots are going away. I love Jiyu products!! Definitely the best in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I use the Cleansing Polish Pads?

Use them 2–3 times per week after cleansing — not daily. Polish Pads are a targeted reset step, not a daily product. Using them more often can overdo the exfoliation and stress your barrier. If you have very sensitive skin, start with once a week and build up.

Can I use these with the JiYu Toner Pads?

Yes — they're designed to work together. Polish Pads are your 2–3× per week reset step; Toner Pads are your daily glow step. On Polish nights, use the Polish Pad first (right after cleansing), then follow with a Toner Pad. On the other 4–5 days, just use the Toner Pad. Save up to $125.89 with the Clarify + Glow Bundle →

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. The formula is built around our patented GESOLZA™ calming complex (Sweet Wormwood + Citron + Pine Tree Leaf) and barrier-supportive ingredients like Glycerin and Niacinamide — specifically chosen to help reduce irritation while the acids do their work. That said, we recommend a patch test on your inner arm before first use, and starting at 1× per week if you have a history of reactive skin.

Can I use these with retinol or other strong actives?

Avoid layering the Polish Pads with retinol, retinal, prescription tretinoin, or other strong acids on the same night. Alternate them on opposite nights. On Polish nights, follow with the JiYu Toner Pads and NAD+ Cream, then resume your retinoid on non-Polish nights.

Where else can I use the pads besides my face?

Anywhere you deal with breakouts, congestion, or rough texture: chest, back, shoulders, upper arms, and even the bumpy keratosis-prone areas on the backs of the arms. Avoid broken or inflamed skin, eczema, and the eye area.

Will this work on cystic acne?

The Polish Pads are formulated to help with surface breakouts, clogged pores, congestion, and post-acne red marks. They are not a treatment for cystic or hormonal acne, which needs to be addressed with a dermatologist. If you struggle with cystic breakouts, we recommend talking to a derm about a prescription plan and using the Polish Pads alongside it (with your derm's OK) for the surface-level clearing.

Why are the pads dual-textured?

One side is textured for gentle physical polishing — it lifts buildup and surface debris your cleanser leaves behind. The other side is soft cotton for smoothing and refining after. You get both physical and chemical exfoliation in one step, which means fewer products and less risk of overdoing it.

How is this different from the JiYu Toner Pads?

Different jobs.

  • Toner Pads are your daily glow + anti-aging step. Used twice a day with the K8-Rejuvenate complex to keep skin bright, smooth, and even.
  • Polish Pads are your 2–3× per week reset step. Multi-acid system + dual-texture pad to clear pores, smooth texture, and fade red marks.

They're designed to work as a pair, not as substitutes.

What age is this product best for?

The Polish Pads are designed for adults 18+, with our core customer in the 25–55 range. They're especially effective for adult breakouts, post-acne red marks, congestion, and texture issues — the kinds of concerns that don't respond to basic products.

Do you test on animals?

No — JiYu is cruelty-free. We never test on animals at any stage of development or production.

Does this use safe, clean ingredients?

Yes. The Polish Pads are formulated without sulfates, parabens, silicones, mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic fragrances, artificial dyes, phthalates, formaldehyde, hydroquinone, retinol, drying alcohols, EDTA, talc, lanolin, BHT/BHA, triclosan, gluten, and soy. They're also cruelty-free, vegan, and dermatologist tested.

How long does one jar last?

60 pads per jar. At the recommended use of 2–3 times per week, one jar lasts approximately 5–6 weeks. Subscribe to lock in delivery every 60, 90, or 120 days and save up to 15%.
