🌿 MEDICUBE Zero Pore Madecassoside Pads (Mild) 70 Pads

Sensitive Skin • Gentle Pore Care • PHA Exfoliation • Texture • Hydration

MEDICUBE Zero Pore Madecassoside Pads (Mild) are gentle Korean exfoliating toner pads specifically formulated for sensitive and easily irritated skin. Unlike the original Zero Pore Pads, which use AHA + BHA, the Mild version centers on the gentler PHA (Gluconolactone) and combines it with Madecassoside, Panthenol, Centella Asiatica and multiple forms of Hyaluronic Acid for exfoliation plus soothing hydration.

🧪 Key Ingredients

🌿 PHA — Gluconolactone

The Mild version uses Gluconolactone, a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA), as its primary exfoliating acid.

PHA helps remove dead skin cells and improve rough-looking texture. Because PHAs have larger molecular structures than AHAs and BHAs, Medicube specifically chose PHA for the Mild formula to provide gentler exfoliation for sensitive or easily irritated skin.

💚 Madecassoside

Madecassoside is derived from Centella Asiatica and provides soothing skin-conditioning support.

This is one of the biggest differences between the Mild and original Zero Pore Pad formulas.

💧 Panthenol

Panthenol, also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, helps attract and retain moisture while supporting softer, more comfortable-feeling skin.

🌱 Centella Asiatica

Centella Asiatica Extract provides additional soothing and antioxidant skin-conditioning benefits.

💦 Multi-Hyaluronic Acid Complex

The ingredient list contains several forms of Hyaluronic Acid, including:

Sodium Hyaluronate • Hyaluronic Acid • Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer • Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate • Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid • Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate • Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate.

That makes hydration an important part of this formula—not just exfoliation.

🎯 Who Is It Best For?

🌿 Sensitive Skin — This is the main reason to choose Mild over the original.

💧 Dry + Textured Skin — Medicube specifically recommends the Mild pads for people experiencing dryness or texture concerns.

✨ Uneven Texture — PHA provides gentle surface exfoliation without relying on the stronger AHA + BHA combination.

🫧 Visible Pores — Designed to help improve the appearance of pores while gently removing buildup.

💚 Beginner Exfoliant Users — A more approachable choice than stronger acid toner pads.

☀️ Busy Morning Routines — Medicube also specifically recommends the pads as a convenient way to simplify morning skincare.

💕 How to Use

After cleansing, remove one pad and gently swipe across the face using upward and outward motions.

Avoid the eye area.

For areas that need extra attention, Medicube says you can leave the pad on the area for approximately 5–10 minutes.

Then discard the pad and allow the remaining essence to absorb before continuing with serum and moisturizer.

AM: Cleanser → Zero Pore Mild Pad → Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

PM: Cleanser → Zero Pore Mild Pad → Serum → Moisturizer

Medicube says the pads are gentle enough for daily AM and PM use, although customers with very reactive skin can reasonably start less frequently and increase according to tolerance.

🆚 Zero Pore Pad Mild vs Original Zero Pore Pad

Medicube itself says the original Zero Pore Pads are designed to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and promote smoother, clearer-looking skin, while the Mild version is specifically formulated for ultra-sensitive skin with soothing, gentle pore care.

💚 Choose Zero Pore Mild if...

Your skin is sensitive, dry, easily irritated, or you want gentle everyday exfoliation.

🩵 Choose Original Zero Pore Pads if...

Your primary concerns are excess oil, blackheads, clogged-looking pores and rough texture, and your skin tolerates AHA/BHA exfoliation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does MEDICUBE Zero Pore Pad Mild contain AHA or BHA?

The current Mild formula uses Gluconolactone (PHA) as its exfoliating acid rather than the Lactic Acid + Salicylic Acid combination found in the original Zero Pore Pads.

Is Zero Pore Pad Mild good for sensitive skin?

Yes. Medicube specifically developed the Mild version for ultra-sensitive skin, and the product is dermatologist-tested and tested to be low-irritating.

Can I use it every day?

Medicube says yes, and states it can be used both morning and evening. Individual tolerance varies, so very reactive skin can start a few times per week.

Does it shrink pores?

I wouldn't use the phrase “shrinks pores.” Pore size can't simply be permanently closed by a toner pad.

A more accurate claims

“Helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and promotes smoother, clearer-looking skin.”

Does it help blackheads?

Medicube lists blackheads among the concerns for the Mild product, but the Mild formula is focused on gentle PHA exfoliation. For customers whose main issue is stubborn blackheads and excess oil, the original AHA+BHA Zero Pore Pad is the more targeted of the two formulas.

Can dry skin use it?

Yes. Medicube specifically recommends the Mild version for people with dry skin or texture concerns, and the formula includes Panthenol plus multiple forms of Hyaluronic Acid.

Is it fragrance-free?

Medicube's current official page lists fragrances among the ingredients the product is formulated without.

Does it contain Retinol?

No Retinol is listed in the current INCI, and Medicube specifically lists Retinol and its esters among the ingredients the Mild pads are formulated without.
