Description
Medicube Zero Pore Pads are among the brand’s most popular products. Each jar holds 70 pads soaked in about 100 ml of essence. Every pad has two sides: an embossed side that helps lift dead skin cells, and a silky side for a final smoothing swipe. Medicube designs them to exfoliate, help keep pores looking clear and reduce the look of excess shine.
Key ingredients
- Fruit complex (AHA) – naturally derived alpha hydroxy acids for a smoother surface.
- White willow bark, 0.45% – a natural source of BHA for pore care.
- Salicylic acid, lactic acid and betaine salicylate – additional exfoliating ingredients listed in the formula.
- Cypress tree leaf – a botanical ingredient the brand includes for its refreshing feel.
How to use
- After cleansing, take one pad.
- Swipe the embossed side across the face from the centre outward, avoiding the eyes.
- Flip and swipe with the silky side for a final polish.
- Lightly pat in the remaining essence and continue with your routine.
Who it suits
Medicube lists combination, oily and dry skin as suitable. Oily and combination skin with visible pores or rough texture are the most natural fit. Very sensitive skin should start with a few uses per week, and the brand offers a milder version for this purpose.
Good to know
Do not use on freshly shaved or irritated skin, and avoid the eye area. Exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity, so wear sunscreen during the day. If skin feels dry afterwards, follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer. Patch test first: apply a small amount behind the ear or on the inner forearm for a few days and stop using the product if redness, itching or stinging appears. Avoid the eye area unless the product is designed for it, and speak with a pharmacist or dermatologist if you have a known skin condition or allergy.
