The famous Nip + Fab exfoliating pads may just be our winter skin warrior, after finding famous fans in Kylie Jenner and, more recently, TikTok beauty star Mikayla Nogueira.
Yeah, safe to say that gone are the days of the harsh scrubs we used to use on our faces as acne-faring teens, but if you’re still looking for a solid exfoliation to bring out brighter, clearer skin amid the silly season, pads may be something you’re missing from your skincare routine.
Let’s get one thing out of the way first, Nip + Fab glycolic cleansing pads are biodegradable, so we can exhale.
Once used by Kylie, they’ve now been spotted in the kit of Mikayla Nogueira, one of the biggest names in beauty TikTok.
With nearly 14million followers on the platform, she knows her stuff.
With a few sweeps over the social media star’s face, she muses about the pore-clearing pads, which combine 5% glycolic acid with blackhead-fighting salicylic acid and niacinamide (if you’re up to speed with your ingredients), to achieve some pretty glowing skin.
Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (commonly known as an AHA) which is used for chemical exfoliation of the skin – but don’t be put off by the term ‘acid’. There is no melting involved, it simply removes dead skin cells and allows for new ones to generate.

According to Mikayla, it’s a ‘refreshing step’ in their morning routine – with the star adding the brand’s hyaluronic acid serum to really give the skin a good morning boost, whether you’re creating a base for your make-up, or seeking a solid skincare infusion.
A tried and tested classic, with five-star reviews across the internet, if the aim of the game is to retexture and resurface your skin the reviews come in hot as some shoppers claim they notice a difference in the texture of their skin ‘after just three uses’.
Saying it helped fade fine lines, one reviewer wrote: ‘Very good for the busier days- gym etc after showering. I team up with the glycolic serum too x3 weekly. Have def made my ‘11’s’ fade!’
Another mused it ‘helped to no end my skin’ as another wrote: ‘Been using it for over a year and have seen a real difference in my skin!’
The glow is real, people!
