4 Acids. One Smoother Glow.
A balanced blend of AHA, BHA, PHA & LHA for smoother, brighter-looking skin and refined pores.
AHA + BHA + PHA + LHA
The 4-Acid System
Four acids. Four depths. One gentle pad.
Most exfoliants lean on one acid and push the percentage until it works. That's where the stinging comes from. We split the work four ways instead. Glycolic (AHA) is the smallest acid molecule, so it resurfaces dull, rough texture. Salicylic (BHA) dissolves in oil, which is how it gets inside a clogged pore. Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) carries a fatty chain that holds it at the very top, refining pores and tone. Gluconolactone (PHA) exfoliates gently and holds water while the other three work. No single acid has to be pushed hard enough to hurt. Clearer, smoother skin in 2–4 weeks, barrier intact.

FAQs
How often should I use the Cleansing Polish Pads?
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.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?
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?
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?
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?
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.
