💚 Exosome Cica Calming Pad – cica toner pad with 2% niacinamide for smoother, more hydrated skin
The medicube Exosome Cica Calming Pad is a toner pad soaked in a lightweight essence that combines various forms of centella, the Exosome Cica component, and 2% niacinamide with hydrating and skin-conditioning ingredients.
The formula contains Centella Asiatica Leaf Vesicles, centella leaf water and extracts, as well as Houttuynia Cordata water, tea leaf water, ectoin, Lactobacillus ferment, and plant amino acids.
The thin, large pad can be used in two ways: after cleansing, you can gently wipe your skin with it, or place it on the selected area for a few minutes as a mini mask.
✨ What does it do?
- Hydrates and refreshes the skin: glycerin, Glycereth-26 and other moisture-binding ingredients help provide a softer, more comfortable skin feel.
- Contains 2% niacinamide: supports the skin barrier and promotes a more even, fresher complexion.
- Includes Exosome Cica component: listed in the INCI as Centella Asiatica Leaf Vesicles.
- Works with multiple centella-derived ingredients: cica is present in more than one extract form.
- Helps refine skin texture: the mechanical wiping effect of the pad combined with the skin-conditioning formula supports a smoother surface.
- Enhanced with tea leaf water and Houttuynia Cordata water: especially suitable for combination or easily unbalanced skin routines.
- Can also be used as a mini mask: the wide, thin pad adheres well to the skin, making it suitable for targeted hydrating treatments.
- Fits into daily routines: use in the morning or evening after cleansing.

2% niacinamide
A versatile form of vitamin B3 for skincare.
Supports the skin’s natural protective barrier, contributes to a more hydrated feel, and promotes a more even, fresher, and radiant complexion.

🎯 Who is it recommended for?
The Exosome Cica Calming Pad is especially suitable if:
- your skin feels dehydrated or tight,
- your skin texture is uneven,
- you are looking for a light, quick toner step,
- your skin is combination or easily shiny,
- you want a centella-based product,
- you want to incorporate niacinamide into your routine,
- you like to use toner pads as mini masks.
🧴 Pad design and usage
After cleansing, take out a pad and gently wipe your face following the skin’s surface direction. Avoid the eye and mouth areas.
Then gently pat the remaining essence into the skin.
If a particular area needs more hydration, you can use the pad as a mini mask, then pat in the remaining essence after removal.
Medicube recommends daily use.
Always carefully reseal the box after use to prevent the pads from drying out.
💚 Why do we love it?
Because it is not simply the Exosome Cica Toner in pad form.
The Calming Pad formula combines 2% niacinamide, Exosome Cica component, multiple centella types, Houttuynia Cordata water, tea leaf water, ectoin, and fermented ingredients.
Moreover, it can be used in two ways: as a quick toner step to wipe the face in seconds, or as a targeted mini mask on specific areas.
Especially practical when you want to hydrate, refresh, and smooth the skin in a single step.
❓ Q&A
Is it an exfoliating pad?
It is not a classic acid exfoliating toner pad.
The current formula does not contain AHA, BHA, or PHA acids; the smoother skin feel is mainly supported by the pad’s gentle wiping effect and skin-conditioning ingredients.
How much niacinamide does it contain?
Manufacturer and current product information state it contains 2% niacinamide.
Can it be used as a mini mask?
Yes. According to medicube’s official instructions, the pad can be applied to areas requiring more intensive hydration, then the remaining essence should be gently patted in.
What is the difference between Exosome Cica Toner and Calming Pad?
The Exosome Cica Toner is a lightweight, liquid toner containing panthenol, ectoin, and PHA.
The Exosome Cica Calming Pad is a pre-soaked toner pad with a current formula containing 2% niacinamide, usable for mechanical wiping or as a targeted mini mask.
How many pads are in the box?
Medicube’s current Korean packaging contains 100 pads soaked in 150 ml of essence.
