Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Toner Pad 70pcs
A Multi-Active Treatment Pad with Kojic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Niacinamide & Salicylic Acid — Face & Body
A multi-active treatment pad designed for dark spots, post-blemish marks, uneven-looking tone, rough texture and congestion on both the face and body.
This is one of the more treatment-focused pads in the Glass Ritual Pigmentation Collection. The formula combines glycolic acid, niacinamide, kojic acid, turmeric and salicylic acid, with vitamin C and several forms of hyaluronic acid.
Rather than functioning as a simple hydrating toner pad, it combines pigmentation care + exfoliation + texture refinement in one step.
Why We Chose It
We chose the Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Toner Pad because it fills an important gap in the pigmentation collection: pigmentation accompanied by rough or congested texture.
Kojic acid and niacinamide provide targeted tone support, while glycolic acid provides surface exfoliation and salicylic acid adds oil-soluble exfoliating support.
It also has a useful advantage over many facial pigmentation products: the manufacturer specifically recommends it for areas of the body, including the chest, back and arms. That makes it a versatile option for practitioners whose uneven tone or post-blemish marks are not limited to the face.

Who It's For
Consider these pads if you are concerned about:
- Dark spots
- Post-blemish pigmentation
- Uneven-looking skin tone
- Rough or uneven texture
- Visible congestion
- Marks on the chest, back or arms
- Body areas with roughness or visible bumps
- Wanting exfoliation and pigmentation care in one step
Because this formula contains multiple active and exfoliating ingredients, it may not be the best starting point for highly sensitive, reactive or barrier-compromised skin.
How to Use
For the face:
After cleansing, gently swipe one pad over the skin. Avoid the eye area and do not scrub repeatedly over the same area. Allow the remaining essence to absorb before continuing with the rest of your routine.
For the body:
Gently sweep over areas of roughness, uneven-looking tone or visible bumps, such as the chest, back or arms. Do not use on broken, irritated or freshly shaved skin.
Start gradually rather than automatically using the pads every day, particularly if your routine already contains exfoliating acids or retinoids.
During daytime, appropriate sun protection is particularly important for exposed areas when using exfoliating products.
Ritual Position
Cleanse → Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Toner Pad → Treat → Moisturise
The pad occupies the exfoliating toner/treatment stage of your Glass Ritual. It does not automatically need to be followed by another exfoliating toner.
Glass Ritual Pairing
This is an important product to avoid over-layering. The formula already contains glycolic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide and vitamin C. Adding several additional exfoliating or highly concentrated treatments in the same routine may increase irritation without necessarily improving results.
A simple pairing may be:
Gentle Cleanser → Medicube Toner Pad → Supportive Serum if needed → Moisturiser
If you use retinoids, strong exfoliating acids or other intensive treatments, consider using them at different times rather than automatically stacking them.
Glass Ritual Principle: Exfoliation should improve the ritual—not become the ritual.
Key Ingredients
Kojic Acid
A pigmentation-focused ingredient that helps improve the appearance of dark spots and uneven-looking tone by influencing melanin production.

Glycolic Acid
An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin’s surface and helps improve the appearance of rough texture and uneven tone.
Salicylic Acid
A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that provides oil-soluble exfoliation and can help improve the appearance of congestion and roughness.
Turmeric Root Extract
Provides antioxidant and skin-soothing support.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Provides additional antioxidant and brightening support.
Allantoin & Panthenol

Safety & Ingredient Information
For external use only. Avoid the eye area, broken skin and visibly irritated skin. Discontinue use if persistent burning, redness or irritation develops.
Because this product combines glycolic acid, salicylic acid and kojic acid, patch testing and gradual introduction are particularly appropriate. Avoid unnecessarily combining it in the same routine with multiple other exfoliating acids or strong active treatments.
Ingredient lists and formulations may be updated by the manufacturer. Always check the ingredient list and directions printed on the product packaging before use if you have known allergies or sensitivities.
Glass Ritual does not promise that cosmetic treatment pads will remove pigmentation, acne scars or body marks. They may help improve the appearance of uneven tone, post-blemish marks and rough texture over time, but individual responses vary.
