Korean Skincare Toning Polish Pads Over 30% Off

Falling in love with a skin care product viral on social media can often lead to disappointment, but there’s one viral product that breaks the pattern: The skin-smoothing, dark spot-fading JiYu Korean Skincare toning pads. Reviewers who regularly use them can’t stop raving about the results over time, with several noting that they’re the most effective skin care product they own, and that each pad “softens and brightens skin instantly.” These multi-use pads always fluctuate in price, but today we’ve spotted them with a 33% discount, dropping back to their lowest price in weeks!

“Generously soaked” in a potent blend of snail mucin, niacinamide, peptide complex and Centella Asiatica, this set of 100 pads aims to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, acne marks and redness, while evening your skin tone and texture, improving dark spots and discoloration. They’re also said to leave the skin looking glowy and glassy.

“They actually really do work,“one reviewer wrote. “I’ve tried lots of exfoliating pads, but these are definitely the best and worth every penny I have them on auto delivery!”

Give your face an all-over swipe or let the pad rest for a 15-minute brightening spot treatment. Reviewers call the pads a “game-changer,” saying the product leaves their skin “soft, bright and hydrated.”

“My dark spots are fading, and my skin feels smoother and more even,” another review reads. “Gentle enough for daily use, and I love the glow they give. Amazing value for 100 pads!”

Additional reviews call the eucalyptus scent “refreshing” without being overpowering, noting the pads are good for sensitive skin and folks prone to redness, breakouts, oilyness and dryness.

“I’m 63 and have problems with age spots and uneven skin tone,” one review said. “This product really zeros in on that without being irritating to the skin or leaving it dry. I use it daily and I’m loving it!

When using the pads for toning and exfoliating, the brand recommends cleansing your skin, gliding the pads around your face in circular motions, then waiting 40-60 seconds before applying moisturizer. They’re gentle enough to be used morning and night, with many reviewers saying the formula plays nicely with others.

“What really impresses me is how well these work under makeup too,” one wrote. “No pilling or greasy residue. It’s the perfect prep step for my morning and night routine.”

If you’re looking for a “gentle yet effective” at-home facial treatment, simply lay the mask on an uneven or dull part of your skin, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

“I love how hydrated and refreshed my face feels after using them—never tight or stripped,” another review said. ” If you want glowy, even-toned, healthier skin, these are a must-have!!”

“OH MY GOSH I love this toner! I haven’t used a toner in years because my face tends to run dry, and I felt like a toner was drying it out even more. This toner does the exact opposite! My skin drinks this up; it’s instantly soft, and sets my skin for the rest of my routine. The one thing that is a little tricky is pulling the pads apart, but they give you a pair of tiny little tweezers to help with that. I use this and love them and my teen daughter does too.” — Rebecca

“I’ve been using the Toning Polish Pads for a couple of weeks now, and they’ve become one of the easiest yet most effective steps in my skincare routine. Whether I’m targeting dullness, dark spots, or fine lines, these pads feel nourishing right from the first use.
Each pad comes soaked with a clear, hydrating essence and has a slightly textured surface that very gently buffs away dead skin. After wiping across my face (avoiding the eye area), my skin instantly feels smoother and more refreshed without any tingling or tightness. The texture feels like a soft polish, not an abrasive scrub.
The formula includes snail mucin, niacinamide, peptides, and centella—all powerhouse ingredients in a gentle yet effective delivery. I’ve noticed dullness lifting, dark spots softening over time, and overall tone looking more even. Fine lines around my mouth and eyes have appeared subtly softer and more hydrated too.
Because the pads hydrate as they polish, they never strip the skin. In fact, I often see a natural glow afterward, and a follow-up moisturizer absorbs beautifully with no residue or tackiness. They’re fragrance-free and feel soothing rather than overwhelming, even when my skin is a bit sensitive.
The pack of 100 lasts quite a while—using one every other day is plenty for visible improvement. They’re also convenient for travel or midday refreshes. If I have time-sensitive evenings or need a quick skin boost before a video call, one pad in is enough to instantly brighten my complexion.
If you’re looking for a gentle yet effective way to exfoliate, brighten, and refine skin tone—without harsh acids or complicated routines—these Toning Polish Pads are a stellar option. I’ll definitely be replenishing when they’re gone.” — Jennifer Barry

“I recently started using the JiYu Toning Polish Pads and I’m really impressed with how gentle and effective they are. My skin feels hydrated and refreshed after each use and I’ve noticed a subtle improvement in dark spots and dullness. The pads are easy to use and convenient for a quick skincare step, especially on busy mornings or evenings.
I also appreciate that they are lightweight and don’t leave any sticky residue, making them perfect for layering under my moisturizer or serum. Overall, these pads have become a staple in my routine and I’m excited to see continued improvement in my skin texture and brightness.” — vee

This snail mucin essence

This cult-loved Cosrx serum is powered by 96% snail mucin, an ingredient known to help hydrate, nourish, plump, and repair the skin. This version is oil-free for anyone who’s acne-prone, but the brand also makes its Snail Radiance Dual Essence ($16) which is a little more rich for those with drier skin types. Both are also great at repairing a damaged skin barrier.

Promising review: “10/10 Recommend. Super moisturizing especially when combined with the COSRX snail mucin cream. Has a thinner consistency so can run a little but stays for a long time on skin. Makes my skin really soft and smooth with an added glow as well. Bottle is a decent size and is pretty durable.” — Haylee

This rice water- and ceramide-rich serum

This serum is a personal favorite of mine for hydration during the winter because it features ingredients like redness-calming beta glucan, honey extract, seven types of rice extract, and arbutin to brighten dark spots. It has an elastic-type of consistency that feels really rich when you apply it, but it sinks into the skin beautifully and keeps my skin hydrated all day long.

Promising review: “Earlier this year, I had to start using benzoyl peroxide to get my acne under control, which made my oily skin red, irritated, and flaky. I needed something super hydrating and soothing to counteract it, landed on this serum, and I’m so glad I did. It’s thick but not sticky, super hydrating, and calmed my skin right down. I’m using it 2x daily along with a peptide serum, very happy with the results. This has earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine.” — Ulta customer

This hydrating peptide serum

This brand is a little pricier than most other Korean brands, but is a hybrid formula that consists of a mix of peptides and vitamin B7 to boost collagen production in while boosting hydration deep within the skin. While it is lightweight, don’t let that fool you, the hydration it offers is still next level and gives you that “glass skin” look.

Promising review: “This serum has such a soothing scent, I love it. I try to use this serum as the first step of skincare since it is NOT sticky and it feels like it preps my skin so well for any additional skincare afterwards including cream, suncream, makeup, etc. It is not heavy at all.

Even though it can be layered, I never really need to do that since it’s moisturizing enough after just one layer of it. Best serum for any season! It feels light yet powerful and goes a long way. I would buy it again.” — Amazon customer

This hydrating essence-toner

Ma:nyo’s essence and toner in one provides immediate and long-lasting hydration with its patented ingredient Panthetoin. This is a unique combination of panthenol and ectoin, two powerhouse hydrators that help the skin retain moisture. Additionally, ceramides help protect and repair the skin barrier while keeping dry winter winds from wreaking havoc.

Promising review: “This toner is a must during the winter. It [has] a gel like texture and helps lock in the moisture. Not much of a smell so it’s nice for sensitive skin and it also doesn’t leave my face greasy. The bottle is a good size too.” — Nora

This noni-rich ampoule that gives reviewers a “natural glow”

This Celimax formula contains a whopping 71.77% of nutrient-rich noni extract to refresh and hydrate the skin. Rosemary oil in the formula also helps calm irritation and redness and adenosine helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Promising review: “I’ve been using the Celimax Noni Ampoule for a couple of weeks, and my skin has improved dramatically. It feels softer, hydrated, and has a natural glow that I haven’t achieved with other products. I love that it’s lightweight, non-sticky, and absorbs quickly. I also notice that my dry areas feel much calmer. Definitely a must-have in my skincare routine.” — Camila

This propolis-rich glow serum

Beauty of Joseon remains a fan-favorite Korean beauty brand for its incredible formulas at such an affordable price. The brand’s Glow serum is another favorite of mine because it’s packed with 60% propolis (which is extremely hydrating) and 2% niacinamide to help lighten hyperpigmentation. It also contains a light exfoliant so it’s perfect for acne-prone skin types. I don’t use it every single day, but even so, I see great results. My skin has a nice glow to it after applying it, even during winter.

Promising review: “I have been using this for over a year. My skin is sensitive and I have rosacea, but also dry at times. This hydrates, smoothes, and improves the look of my skin one hundred times. It is lightweight and extremely effective. I love it so much.” — Amazon customer
