The gentler sister to Korea's #1 pore pad - now formulated for ultra-sensitive skin
If you've been watching enviously as everyone raves about Medicube's viral Zero Pore Pads but worried they'd be too harsh for your delicate skin — this is your moment. The Zero Pore Pad Mild delivers all the pore-refining, texture-smoothing benefits of the bestselling original, but with a carefully calibrated formula that keeps reactive skin calm, comfortable, and irritation-free.
Why You'll Love It:
Gentle Yet Effective PHA Exfoliation
Unlike the original's AHA/BHA combo, the Mild version uses PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid) — a larger molecular structure that works on the skin's surface rather than penetrating deeply. This means gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin buildup and unclogs pores without triggering sensitivity or redness.
Patented Pore Care That Won't Irritate
Medicube's proprietary Anti Sebum-P complex has been reformulated with a lighter touch specifically for sensitive skin. It still targets enlarged pores and regulates oil production, but with ingredients chosen to soothe rather than stimulate.
Dual-Textured Design for Complete Care
Embossed Side: Gently buffs away surface debris and dead cells with physical exfoliation that won't scratch or irritate
Smooth Side: Floods skin with hydration and calming actives, leaving it soft, balanced, and refreshed
Clinically Tested for Low Irritation
Multiple dermatological trials confirm this formula minimizes the risk of discomfort while delivering visible results. Even the most reactive skin types can use these daily.
Perfect For:
✓ Ultra-sensitive skin that reacts to everything
✓ Rosacea-prone or easily flushed complexions
✓ Dry skin with visible pores
✓ Anyone recovering from harsh treatments
✓ First-time chemical exfoliant users
✓ Those who found the original Zero Pore Pad too strong
What It Does:
Refines Pore Appearance - Gently clears away the buildup that makes pores look stretched and visible
Smooths Texture - Removes rough, flaky patches for baby-soft skin
Controls Sebum - Regulates oil without stripping or drying
Strengthens Barrier - Supports skin's natural defenses rather than disrupting them
Calms Inflammation - Anti-inflammatory botanicals reduce redness and sensitivity
Deeply Hydrates - Moisture-binding ingredients prevent the tightness that comes with exfoliation
Ingredients:
PHA (Gluconolactone) - The gentlest chemical exfoliant available; improves texture while retaining moisture and supporting barrier health
Panthenol (Provitamin B5) - Attracts and locks in hydration while repairing the skin barrier and soothing irritation
Hyaluronic Acid - Draws water deep into skin for plump, dewy hydration that lasts
Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica) - Korean skincare's go-to soothing superstar; calms inflammation and supports healing
Madecassoside - A concentrated active from centella that targets redness and accelerates skin recovery
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract - Antioxidant-rich protection against environmental stress; controls oil and offers anti-aging benefits
Witch Hazel Extract - Natural astringent that refines pores without harsh alcohols
Tea Tree Extract - Purifies and balances without irritation
How to Use:
Step 1: After cleansing on dry skin, take one pad and gently swipe the embossed (textured) side across your face from center outward. Avoid eye area.
Step 2: Flip the pad to the smooth side and make one more pass over your skin for a final soothing, hydrating touch.
Step 3: Gently pat any remaining essence into your skin to boost absorption.
Step 4: Continue with your usual serum and moisturizer.
Frequency: Safe for daily use, AM and PM. If you're new to exfoliants, start 2-3 times weekly and build up as your skin adapts.
Pro Tips:
Use on chest and back for body texture issues too
Don't rinse off the remaining essence - it's packed with good stuff!
Store jar away from direct sunlight to preserve active ingredients
Can be used alongside other gentle actives, but avoid layering with strong acids
Texture & Feel:
The pads are generously soaked in a lightweight, fast-absorbing essence that feels refreshing rather than sticky. No alcohol sting, no tightness, no residue — just clean, calm, comfortable skin.
