medicube's Zero Pore Pads are one of the most talked-about K-beauty products of recent years. They replace a cotton pad and a liquid exfoliating toner with a single pre-soaked pad.
The formula uses AHA to work on surface dullness and BHA, which is oil-soluble, to get into pores. This is why they're usually recommended for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin rather than very dry or reactive skin.
Who is it for?
A good fit if you:
- Have oily or combination skin
- Notice visible pores, blackheads or rough texture
- Want a quick, no-mess exfoliating step
Maybe skip it if you:
- Have very sensitive skin or a compromised skin barrier
- Already use strong retinoids or other acid exfoliants every night
How to use it
After cleansing, swipe the textured side over your face, avoiding the eye area. Flip to the smooth side to pat in the remaining essence, then follow with moisturiser.
Start with 2–3 evenings a week and build up only if your skin tolerates it. Wear SPF during the day, as acid exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity.
Frequently asked questions
Are medicube Zero Pore Pads good for oily skin?
Yes. They contain BHA, which is oil-soluble and works inside pores, so oily and combination skin types tend to get the most from them.
Can I use medicube Zero Pore Pads every day?
Some people can, but start with 2–3 times a week. Increase only if you see no redness, stinging or peeling.
Do I need sunscreen when using these pads?
Yes. AHA and BHA exfoliants can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so use a broad-spectrum SPF every morning.
Can I buy medicube Zero Pore Pads in the UK?
Yes, they are sold on Amazon UK (amazon.co.uk), which is where the link on this page goes.
