Zero Pore Pad 2.0
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 is an exfoliating pad with AHA, BHA, and citric acid, described by several as gentle yet effective for smoothing texture and minimizing blackheads. One creator notes it can be "slightly tingly on the skin at first" but not irritating, while another warns against overuse to avoid damaging the skin barrier. It has a textured and smooth side, a citrusy scent from natural acids, and is praised for delivering a glass-skin effect the next morning.
