Meet the All-New Hybrid Body and Face Product: Polishing Pads
At Barefaced, our philosophy has always been Less but Better. That means we don’t launch products for the sake of “more” or to have the largest product portfolio. We refine, we re-elevate, and we only offer what your skin truly needs.
Polishing Pads are your deep exfoliant 2.0: same proven, high-concentration acids you’ve trusted from Glow Peel Pads for years; now bigger, smarter, and with a fresh twist your skin needs.
What’s New + Improved
You’re still getting a powerhouse blend of exfoliating acids:
-
15% Glycolic Acid – brightens + smooths texture
**this percentage of glycolic acid is not recommended for use during pregnancy
- Lactic Acid – hydrates + resurfaces
- Mandelic Acid – gentle exfoliation for all skin types
- Salicylic Acid – clears and decongests pores
But here’s the upgrade: we added more hydrating ingredients to tone down the tingling, as well as Alpine Rose Extract.
- We chose Alpine Rose because it’s not just another trendy ingredient. It comes from the Swiss Alps, where the plant has to survive freezing temperatures, intense sun, and super harsh winds. That toughness is what makes it so powerful for the skin, its resilience literally translates into resilience for your skin.
-
Studies show Alpine Rose can actually help clear away senescent cells, or ‘zombie cells.’ On top of that, it helps calm redness, smooth texture, and protect against oxidative stress. The goal with this product is for it to not just be a deeper exfoliant. We wanted it to get rid of the bad while helping reset the good; helping your skin look and feel healthier, stronger, and more glowy.
Wait…Zombie Cells????
Senescent cells are more commonly referred to as “zombie cells” because they act just like zombies—trying to turn everything around them into a zombie too!
Zombie cells are damaged skin cells that should have died and shed away, but don’t. Instead, they linger, slowing your skin’s natural renewal cycle and making everything look duller, rougher, and older than it should. Think fine lines, uneven texture, and stubborn spots.
Alpine Rose targets these sluggish cells so your healthy, active ones can shine through. The result? Fresher, brighter, smoother skin that looks alive and vibrant.
Bigger Pads = Hybrid Use = Smarter Skincare
Glow Peel Pads were amazing as your at-home chemical peel, but let’s be real, they weren’t ideal for full-body use. So, we listened.
Polishing Pads are larger in size so you can swipe across your face, neck, chest, shoulders, arms, bikini line (goodbye ingrown hairs), or even your back (we see you sports bra breakout zones!)
This wasn’t just a “fun update” — it came straight from our community’s feedback. You asked for more effective exfoliation that works for both face and body, and these deliver.
How to Use Polishing Pads
- Frequency: 1–3 times a week on the face, up to daily on the body as tolerated.
- Routine: Use in the morning after cleansing, in place of Toning Pads (II). Follow with serum + SPF.
- Application: Swipe one pad over your face, then neck, chest, and anywhere else you want smoother, unclogged, brighter skin.
- Non-negotiable: Always finish with SPF when used in the morning. Exfoliated skin is more sun-sensitive.
Real Results
Because nothing says “this works” better than seeing the transformation:

Why Jordan Created Polishing Pads
“My whole philosophy whenever we bring a product to market is less but better. We had this incredible product that people were using on their face, and we found that so many were also using it on their body to address rough skin, keratosis pilaris, and ingrown hairs. That made us think, why not create something designed for both? But instead of just making it bigger, we wanted to make it better.
By enhancing the formulation, we created a pad that not only provides a deeper exfoliation, but also delivers anti-senescent benefits to address the senescent cells, also known as “zombie cells,” on the skin. “Zombie cells” are damaged cells that don’t die when they should, and instead begin to harm the healthy ones around them. Exfoliation helps skin look brighter, healthier, smoother, and more youthful, but adding Alpine Rose from Switzerland takes this product to the next level. Alpine Rose thrives in extreme conditions in the Swiss Alps, and that resilience translates into skin benefits by protecting against stress, supporting the barrier, and helping clear away “zombie cells” that accelerate aging.”
