Medicube Zero Pore Pads
Hi again beauties! I recently received Medicube's Zero Pore Pads to test out. These are something I've been intrigued with ever since I saw them in my feed, mainly because I've never tried toner pads before. There are 70 toner soaked cotton pads that come in one package, and it retails for $31.
Some facts: 💢Infused with a unique blend of natural ingredients to exfoliate dead skin cells, regulate sebum, and tone pores. 💢Formulated with skin healthy ingredients such as: cypress tree leaf, purslane, baikal skullcap, oregano leaf, chinese cinnamon, white willow bark, evening primrose oil, kudzu root,longleaf pine, japanese elm, & soybean extract. 💢AHA fruit complex composed of Grape, Key Lime, Lemon, Apple, & Orange extracts help to gently exfoliate while deeply penetrating pores to remove excess buildup, dirt, and debris. 💢Contains patented botanical extracts that are clinically proven to reduce sebum production and tighten pores. 💢Packed with moisturizing agents for an irritation free hydrating toner solution. 💢Certified hypoallergenic and formulated without sulfates, parabens, palm oil, and artificial fragrance.
I have become a huge fan of toners in general, but the convenience of this product is what really set it apart from other toners that I own and regularly use. Since these pads are double sided, that makes this an innovative, multi-purpose product that I can't believe I haven't tried before now! The fact that you simply just have to take a single pad out and it's ready to use is a huge advantage that will save time and make for much easier application in my skincare routine.
The packaging is simple yet chic-- the toner pads come in a large frosted hard plastic jar that is see through so you can see the product inside. It is quite a sturdy jar which I really like, so it doesn't feel or look cheap.
As far as the scent goes, I am a huge fan. It's a natural medicated scent mixed with those hints of lovely fruit extracts, which makes for a very unique smell that I cannot get enough of.
The pads come soaked in toner solution and are quite large, so one pad will cover your entire face. As I stated before there are two different sides- one embossed side for exfoliating, removing excess oils, and removing impurities, while the other side is soft and smooth which helps to moisturize and improve skin texture.
After using both sides, it's best to pat the remaining product into the skin to enhance absorption so you really get the most out of the product. Upon applying, the solution does feel a bit sticky but it dries quickly and my skin does feel noticeably tighter after using. My skin feels smoother and my makeup has been applying much easier since I began using these pads.
I have very dry, sensitive skin so some toners tend to overdry my skin or sometimes make me break out, but this product luckily hasn't done either of those. I also haven't experienced any irritation while using these so that's a huge plus. I have never had very large pores to begin with so I consider myself quite lucky, but I have noticed what pores I do have seem to be even smaller in size than usual!
💢Final verdict? 5/5! 💢I did receive these from Medicube & 08Liter in exchange for my honest review-- as always, all thoughts are my own.
