medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 70P Refill Set

What it is

The medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 70P Refill Set consists of pre-soaked pads designed to manage pores and refine skin texture. The brand markets this product as containing a patented extract and Anti-sebum P, which are claimed to improve sebum production and contribute to pore tightening. These double-sided pads are commonly used as a quick wipe-off toner after cleansing or left on as a mini sheet mask to deliver targeted benefits.

How Korean shoppers rate it

Olive Young Global shoppers rate the medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 highly at 4.7/5 across 572 reviews. Many users praise the pads for their ability to smooth and refine skin texture, making it feel firm and well-prepped for makeup. Foundation is frequently reported to adhere better and last longer after use, making it a popular choice for morning routines. While marketed as a “Pore Pad,” a notable number of Korean reviewers expressed that it shows little effect on reducing pore size, though it is effective for general pore cleaning and sebum control. Users with oily or combination skin appreciate its refreshing feel and its efficacy in controlling oil throughout the day. However, some reviewers, particularly those with sensitive skin, found the pads mildly stimulating or irritating, with a few experiencing breakouts. Other consistent feedback includes comments about the small pad size, often requiring multiple pads for full-face coverage, and some users disliking its scent.

Bottom line

Priced at $35.08, the medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 70P Refill Set could be a worthwhile addition for those whose primary concerns are skin texture refinement and sebum control. If you have oily or combination skin and seek a product to enhance makeup adherence and reduce shine, it may be a good fit. However, if your main objective is significant pore size reduction or if you have sensitive skin prone to irritation, it may be prudent to approach with caution or explore alternatives that better suit your skin’s needs.
