Key Benefits

  • Clears — Dissolves buildup and unclogs pores
  • Smooths — Refines rough, uneven texture
  • Calms — Reduces redness from breakouts and irritation

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.

SWEET WORMWOOD + CITRON + PINE

 GESOLZA™ Soothing Complex 

Three botanicals. One patented blend. Calm while you clear.
Acids clear pores, but on reactive skin they can leave redness and tightness behind. Exfoliation usually means choosing between clear and calm. We built both into the same pad. GESOLZA™ is a patented blend of three botanicals that works alongside the acids. Sweet Wormwood calms visible redness and irritation. Citron, also known as yuzu, brings vitamin C and hesperidin to defend freshly polished skin. Pine Tree Leaf, from the Korean red pine, adds quercetin and taxifolin, antioxidants that help skin look clearer and more even. The acids do the clearing. GESOLZA™ keeps skin comfortable while they work. Clear pores. Calm skin.

 Sweet Wormwood (Artemisia Annua) calms visible redness and irritation 

 Citron (Citrus Junos) defends freshly polished skin with vitamin C 

 Pine Tree Leaf (Pinus Densiflora) helps skin look clearer 

 Keeps skin soothed while four acids exfoliate 

MULTI-DEPTH EXFOLIATION

 Plus 4 Exfoliating Acids 

Ingredients formulated to clear pores, smooth texture, and fade red marks without stripping the skin barrier.

  • Glycolic Acid (AHA)

    Glycolic Acid is the most studied alpha-hydroxy acid in skincare. Its small molecule size allows it to penetrate the top layer of skin and gently dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating the natural exfoliation process.

    Clinically shown to:

    • Resurface dull, rough skin
    • Improve texture and tone
    • Stimulate collagen production over time
  • Salicylic Acid (BHA)

    Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that's oil-soluble, allowing it to travel inside the pore lining where water-based ingredients can't reach. There, it dissolves the mix of sebum, dead skin, and bacterial buildup that causes clogged pores and blackheads.

    Clinically shown to:

    • Unclog pores and reduce blackheads
    • Calm active breakouts
    • Smooth bumpy, congested texture
  • Gluconolactone (PHA)

    Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) with a larger molecular structure than AHAs or BHAs. This means it exfoliates more gradually and only at the surface — making it ideal for sensitive skin or for use alongside stronger acids.

    What it does:

    • Gently exfoliates without stinging
    • Acts as a humectant — hydrates while it exfoliates
    • Helps strengthen the skin barrier
  • Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA)

    Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is a derivative of Salicylic Acid with an added fatty acid chain, making it more oil-loving and slower-acting. It targets the very top layer of skin to refine texture and pore appearance without stripping deeper layers.

    What it does:

    • Visibly refines pore appearance
    • Smooths surface texture
    • Evens out skin tone

     How We're Different 

    A clinically-backed formula that doesn't just exfoliate, it transforms.

     Frequently Asked Questions 

    How often should Iuse 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.

    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%.
