medicube Toner Pads Zero Pore Pad 2.0 for Exfoliation and Pore Care

I cannot rave enough about this product. Admittedly I tried it after seeing these pads all over social media - I was sceptical given the hype, but once I tried them, I was completely blown away by the effect it had on my skin. For reference, I am 44 with dry/dehydrated skin and I’m trying to battle the signs of aging! Pros: - 70 pads in a tub - used 3-4 times a week, they can last for several months - hygienic - the tub comes with an in built pair of tongs which allow you to hygienically pick up one pad at a time - multiple acids are used in this product but it’s never caused any issues with my skin - the product is formulated in a way to exfoliate your skin gently but effectively - the pads use acids to chemically exfoliate skin and the pads themselves have a textured and smooth side to physically exfoliate skin. I use both sides for smooth skin Cons: - if you’re really new to acids, then please go slowly! Once a week and then build up to 3-4 times a week. Please don’t use these every day or you will damage your skin barrier! - quite a chunky tub to travel with - there is some liquid in the bottle of the tub to keep the pads moist. Not sure if the tub is entirely leak proof. The effect I’ve seen in my skin is smooth, clear, hydrated skin after I use them. I like to use these straight after double cleansing, followed by a hydrating toner, serums and moisturisers. I find my products absorb much better after using these pads. I have repurchased these and will continue to do so - cannot recommend these enough

I usually don’t write reviews unless I’m genuinely extremely happy with a product, but this one deserves a review. I have only used it four times so far, once a week, and I can already see a noticeable difference in my skin. My face looks cleaner, my pores appear improved, and my skin feels much softer and smoother. As I’m a beginner, I started using it only once a week. After the first use, I did notice some dryness and slight irritation, but my skin slowly adjusted and it has been much better since then. This product has been a real game changer for my skincare routine. I’m planning to slowly increase usage to twice a week. My skin looks clearer, feels smoother, and the overall texture has improved. I would highly recommend this product if you struggle with skin texture, blackheads, or enlarged pores. It cleans the skin really well, and I will definitely repurchase it again. 100% recommend!

Amazing toner pads great value for money makes your skin look and feel amazing

After checking the ingredient list, I’d say this is a solid product if your goal is to improve the appearance of enlarged pores rather than permanently shrink them. The combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid and betaine salicylate helps clear out excess oil and dead skin from inside the pores, which can make them look noticeably smaller over time. It should also help with blackheads, congestion and overall skin texture if used consistently. The formula also includes hydrating and soothing ingredients like glycerin, panthenol, hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica, which help balance the exfoliating acids and reduce the risk of excessive dryness. The main drawback is the number of essential oils included, such as lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, citrus oils and bergamot. While these don’t add anything to the pore-refining benefits, they could cause irritation if you have sensitive skin. Overall, I think this is a good choice for oily or combination skin and should make pores appear cleaner and less noticeable with regular use. Just keep your expectations realistic, as no skincare product can permanently shrink pore size. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to patch test first because of the fragrance and essential oils.

I'll be honest — I bought these half-expecting to be disappointed. They're all over my feed and I'm usually sceptical of anything that hyped. A few weeks in, I'm completely won over. I'm in my mid-40s with dry, dehydrated skin, so I was cautious about using anything with acids. But these have been gentle enough for me while still delivering visible results. I've always had stubborn little blackheads around it that never seemed to budge. I tried nose strips in the past but they made very little difference. After just a couple of weeks using the medicube pads, I can see a real difference — fewer of spots, and my skin overall looks smoother and clearer. If you're new to acids, go slowly. I started at two or three times a week and let my skin adjust before increasing frequency. The pads have a textured side and a smoother side, so you can adapt depending on how your skin feels that day. A few weeks in and I'm already planning to repurchase. What's in the tub: 70 pads | 4.5% AHA (lactic acid) + 0.45% BHA (salicylic acid) | Also contains panthenol, allantoin, and sodium hyaluronate. Dual-textured — one side for physical exfoliation, one smooth side for a gentler pass.

As a beauty junkie who has used countless beauty products from lacura to La Mer these are an absolute HG purchase. I’m in my mid 40’s and these have given me the perfect skin I’ve always wanted! I’ve got Rosacea so use a prescription cream for that but this has removed any other bits of redness and given my skin a glow. I use the pads daily on my face and neck and my skin is far more even and smooth.

Great product, leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. I've not had any sensitivity at all when using these pore pads. I love the container the pads come it, it ensures they don't dry out and they also come with a pair of plastic tweezers to get the pads out. I've ordered 3 lots of these and have since tried other products in the medicube range which I'm also really enjoying.

TOP TIP.....if you only use them for 1 small area, I use them just on my nose, cut them up. I cut them into 4 and that quarter of the pad is more than enough to do my nose and, tbh, I could probably do most, if not all of my face. It saves so much money. I was using a very expensive version of these pads from an aesthetic nurse and they were good, but I'd still find a little white head or 2, on my nose most mornings. So when I saw these, I thought I'd give them a try as they are so much cheaper for a start. THEY ARE BRILLIANT So much better than the expensive ones. I've used one regularly, every night for 3 weeks and after the first 2 days, no white heads or spots on my nose at all. I'm so impressed. I bought some for my granddaughter (14) and she's found them just as good. If you have pores/spots, definitely give these a go, but be religious and use them everyday and give it a week or 2 to really see a difference. I'm not sure how they would work on acne, but for a few spots here and there, these will work, highly recommended.

This is a really bad product. My face is all sticky. I am tired of wasting money on bad products. *I need to update my review and change the score from 1 to 5 stars: after using it for 4 days, I am not left with the sticky face anymore. I also started using just have a pad per day.

J’aime beaucoup ces pads Medicube. Ils sont très pratiques à utiliser et s’intègrent facilement dans une routine skincare. La double texture est bien pensée : un côté exfolie en douceur et l’autre permet de lisser la peau. Après quelques utilisations, ma peau paraît plus nette, plus douce et plus lumineuse. J’ai aussi remarqué que mes pores semblent moins visibles et que mon teint est plus uniforme. Les pads sont bien imbibés de produit sans être agressifs pour la peau. Le pot contient suffisamment de disques pour durer plusieurs semaines, ce qui est appréciable. Je suis très satisfaite de ce produit et je continuerai à l’utiliser dans ma routine beauté.

Been using it for two weeks.. No breakouts yet.. 🎉

Good
