Many people are afraid of exfoliating pads due to possible irritation, but the Medicube Zero Pore Pad Mild proves that pore cleansing can also be gentle. This formula is based on the power of PHA acids, which, due to their larger molecular size, absorb more slowly, so they do not cause a stinging sensation, yet effectively refine the skin’s texture. The synergy of patented pore-tightening ingredients and deeply hydrating hyaluronic acid helps balance sebum production while strengthening the skin’s natural protective barrier.

How to use After cleansing, take one pad. Start with the embossed side: gently wipe your face from the center outward, paying special attention to the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin). Then flip the pad and use the silky side to go over the skin again so the essence is fully absorbed. Do not rinse, continue your routine with your usual serum or cream.
