Kojic acid pads for dark spots on the face — and for the post-acne marks that linger long after a breakout has cleared. AMVital Turmeric Kojic Acid Cleansing Pads are pre-soaked, single-use exfoliating pads made for dark spots, post-breakout marks, uneven-looking tone, dull-looking skin, and rough-looking texture on the face and target body areas. Each pad combines turmeric extract, kojic acid, vitamin C, retinol, collagen, and shea butter to help cleanse, smooth, and refresh the look of skin.

• Rinse-off, not leave-on — the pad does its work in under a minute, then rinses away. Most kojic and acid pads on the market are leave-on toner pads; these are not.
• Made for dark spots and post-acne marks — the flat, discolored marks left behind after a breakout, plus uneven-looking tone and dullness.
• Face and target body areas — one pad covers the face, or a specific spot-prone area like the neck, shoulders, or back.
• Six-ingredient blend — turmeric extract, kojic acid, vitamin C, retinol, collagen, and shea butter.
• No mixing, no measuring — pre-soaked and portioned, so the dose is the same every time.

Why rinse-off pads instead of leave-on pads

Leave-on acid pads keep working on the skin after you walk away, which is exactly why sensitive and melanin-rich skin often reacts to them — there is no way to stop the exposure once it starts. These pads are built the other way around. You control the contact time, you rinse, and then you moisturize. That makes them easier to work into a routine that already includes other actives, and easier to scale back on a week when your skin is not in the mood.

What's inside, and why

• Kojic acid — a long-standing choice in brightening formulas, widely used on the look of dark spots and uneven tone.
• Turmeric extract — the ingredient the whole AMVital range is built around, used here for the look of dull, tired skin.
• Vitamin C — a familiar brightening antioxidant that pairs naturally with kojic acid.
• Retinol — included at a rinse-off level, for the look of rough, uneven texture.
• Collagen and shea butter — cushioning ingredients so the pad does not leave skin feeling stripped.

Where to use them

Face, jawline, neck, shoulders, chest, and back are the usual targets — anywhere post-breakout marks and uneven-looking tone show up together. Avoid the eye area, lips, broken skin, intimate areas, and freshly shaved skin.

Which skin types they suit

• Breakout-prone and post-acne skin — this is the pad's core use case.
• Melanin-rich skin — no hydroquinone, no harsh bleaching agents, no steroids.
• Combination and oily skin — the rinse-off format suits skin that does not want another leave-on layer.
• Sensitive skin — possible, but start at once a week. This is an actives-forward product; patch test first.

How to use

Swipe one pad gently over clean, dry target skin, avoiding eyes, lips, broken skin, intimate areas, and freshly shaved skin. Rinse off with lukewarm water, then moisturize. Start 2–3 times per week, or 1–2 times per week for sensitive skin. Use daytime SPF on exposed skin — sun exposure works against the look of dark spots faster than any product works for it.

How they fit your routine

Cleanse with the Turmeric Gel Cleanser or the Turmeric Kojic Acid Soap Bar, use a pad, rinse, then rebalance with Turmeric Toner and seal with Turmeric Face Cream. On treatment nights you can follow with the Advanced Turmeric Tone-Correcting Serum instead — but introduce one new active at a time rather than stacking both from day one. For body areas, the Turmeric Body Scrub covers wider zones the pads are not sized for. The Teen Clear Skin Duo pairs these pads with soap in one bundle.

Good to know

• Will they stain? No — the pads rinse off, and nothing is left on skin, towels, or pillowcases.
• How long until I see a difference? With consistent use, many customers look for texture and subtle brightness in 2–4 weeks, visible fading in 4–6 weeks, and stronger improvement in 8–12 weeks. Results vary by skin type, routine, and discoloration depth.
• Can I use them daily? Not at first. Two to three times a week is the intended rhythm; daily use of an actives-forward pad is how skin gets irritated.
• Already using acids or retinoids? Alternate evenings rather than layering.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding? These pads contain retinol. Check with your doctor first — or see Pregnancy-Safe Glow, which is formulated without it.
• Clean formula: no hydroquinone, no harsh bleaching agents, no steroids, cruelty-free.
