Zero Pore Pad
Two-texture exfoliating pad with AHA and BHA for oily, thick skin; gentle but easy to overdo.
Verdict
Medicube Zero Pore Pad is an exfoliating AHA/BHA pad that effectively clears dead skin and unclogs pores, with several creators praising its gentle formula. Soo Beauty warns that overuse can damage the skin barrier and suggests using it on elbows instead of the face. The textured side and citrusy scent are noted, but the cotton pad quality is described as mediocre.

If you have really oily, thick skin and you have a lot of like dead skin cells and you need to exfoliate, go for it.7:39–7:44
If you go too much, if you go overboard, you are going to end up damaging your skin barrier.7:53–7:58
Their first cotton pads are a little bit like kind of like mediocre.8:00–8:07
This is a cotton pad that was in trend I want to say like 10 years ago in Korea and it has exfoliating ingredients as well like AHA BHA.8:05–8:11
I feel like this will work great on like elbows or someplace else.8:14–8:20
Be very careful when you use this.8:17–8:22
I was nervous about trying these.
This does an excellent job of keeping my actual dead skin cleared but also taking care of the pore itself.4:37–4:46
A really well formulated pore pad exfoliating toner like this... they get so much hype that they do is because they're really taking care of so many different steps in one.4:43–4:55
I love these.
Not every product from Medicube I love. I absolutely love these.5:07–5:11
Very nice exfoliating.15:00–15:04
Yes. Would repurchase.
This is the exfoliating 2% AHA pad.
This is really gentle though in my experience.
Like I don't get the same like tingly sensation that I get from the first aid beauty pad.
So, it has a textured side and a smooth side.
And these smell fantastic.
So, they are citric acid in them.
And so they smell really really good.
They're very like refreshing.
Also, they're coming out with a pore refining pad.
This is giving zero pore pad from Metacube.
They are witch hazel and salicylic.
These are really gentle.
These are almost like a hydrating pad.
But they do um help with the appearance of pores and then of course like cleansing the skin, like getting rid of impurities.
If you're looking for a more intense chemical exfoliant, this is a great option.25:52–25:57
I really love this because although it's made to be low irritating, you still see a significant difference in the texture of your skin and the look of it after using this.26:28–26:32
It's slightly tingly on the skin at first, but it never fully irritates my skin. I just kind of like feel it working, you know, and it does go away after it dries down.26:39–26:44
I feel like my blackheads are definitely minimized with regular use of this.26:48–26:55
I do think that it feels like my skin looks more tightened and the next morning I do have kind of like that glass skin effect on my skin.26:52–27:01
If my skin doesn't look tight and glass skin-like the next morning after a chemical exfoliation night, I don't want it. This one does everything I want it to do.26:58–27:08
I do think that this one feels less irritating with the same results, and it's much cheaper for how much you get in here.27:18–27:21
It literally seems like it sloughs away layers of dead skin on your face. You will look glowy and smooth with this.27:46–27:54
