medicube Toner Pads Zero Pore Pad 2.0 — 70 Pads Dual-Textured Exfoliating & Pore-Care Pads with 4.5% AHA + 0.45% BHA

medicube Toner Pads Zero Pore Pad 2.0 are dual-textured facial pads that exfoliate, reduce pore waste and control excess sebum using 4.5% lactic acid (AHA) and 0.45% salicylic acid (BHA).

This upgraded single-pack of 70 pads pairs an embossed exfoliating side with a silky soothing side to streamline a two-step toner and pore-care routine. Formulated with a blend of chemical exfoliants and botanical extracts including white willow bark and citric acid, the pads aim to refine texture and visibly reduce pore debris while a lavender-infused complex calms the skin after exfoliation. Easy to use after cleansing, one pad replaces multiple liquids and spreads during travel or quick skincare moments.

How do these pads exfoliate without rubbing harshly?

The Zero Pore Pad 2.0 uses a chemical-mechanical approach: an embossed surface helps dislodge surface impurities while lactic acid and salicylic acid work to loosen dead skin and pore-clogging sebum. The follow-up silky side soothes and evens distribution of active ingredients.

• Embossed side: gentle mechanical sweep to lift debris.
• 4.5% lactic acid (AHA): promotes smoother surface texture.
• 0.45% salicylic acid (BHA): targets pore buildup and oily areas.
• Silky side: calms and helps product absorption.

Will this help reduce oily shine and pore waste?

Clinical-style data from the formula shows notable reductions in sebum and pore waste after regular use; the combination of botanical cleansers and acids targets excess oil and trapped debris. Results depend on frequency and skin type, but the formulation is optimized for visible pore refinement.

• Targets excess sebum to lower oily appearance.
• Formulated to help break down pore-clogging residue.
• Botanical extracts assist cleansing without over-drying.

How should I use the dual-textured pad in my routine?

Use the pads after cleansing and before moisturizers or serums. Swipe once with the embossed side across T-zone and cheeks to clean and exfoliate, then flip to the silky side to smooth and pat remaining essence into the skin for better absorption.

• Step 1: Cleanse face thoroughly.
• Step 2: Swipe embossed side over problem areas.
• Step 3: Use silky side to soothe and pat product in.
• Step 4: Follow with serum and moisturizer; use 2–3 times weekly or as tolerated.

Is this safe for sensitive or combination skin?

The formulation blends mild AHA and low-concentration BHA with calming botanical extracts like white willow bark and lavender to balance exfoliation and comfort. Those with sensitive skin should patch-test first and adjust frequency to avoid irritation.

• Low-percentage acids designed for gentle, repeated use.
• Lavender and botanical complex to reduce stinging sensations.
• Patch test recommended for reactive skin; reduce frequency if redness occurs.

Who this is for: medicube Toner Pads Zero Pore Pad 2.0 suits anyone looking to simplify pore care—ideal for people with enlarged pores, oily or combination skin, and those who prefer a quick, travel-friendly exfoliating step. It also works well for users transitioning into chemical exfoliation who want a controlled, dual-sided format. Avoid daily use if your skin is highly reactive; consult patch testing and then adjust to your skin’s tolerance.
