💙 Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask – 3-minute clay mask for clearer pores
The medicube Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask is a fast-drying clay mask specifically developed for targeted care of blackheads, excess sebum, clogged-looking pores and uneven skin texture.
The formula combines five types of clay with AHA, BHA and PHA exfoliants. While the clays help bind excess sebum and impurities accumulated on the pore surface, glycolic acid, salicylic acid and gluconolactone support the removal of dead skin cells and a smoother skin surface.
Its special feature is the 3-minute Quick Dry formula: there is no need to wait for long minutes for the mask to dry, it dries in a few minutes and can then be easily rinsed off with lukewarm water.
✨ What does it do?
- Helps remove excess sebum: the five-clay system intensely binds oily impurities on the skin surface.
- Supports a clearer pore appearance: salicylic acid helps care for pores easily clogged with sebum and dead skin cells.
- Focuses on blackheads too: medicube developed the mask specifically to reduce the appearance of black and whiteheads.
- Refines uneven skin texture: the AHA+BHA+PHA combination helps remove accumulated dead skin cells.
- Works quickly: the mask dries in about 3 minutes, making it easy to fit in even when you don’t have time for a longer mask treatment.
- Can be used targetedly: it is not necessary to apply it to the entire face every time – the T-zone, nose, chin or other oilier, blackhead-prone areas can be treated alone.
- Leaves a cool, fresh sensation: the formula provides a cooling feeling on the skin during use.
🧬 Key ingredients
5 types of clay
The formula contains five types of clay:
Kaolin – a classic cosmetic clay that helps absorb excess sebum and impurities on the skin surface.
Bentonite – a highly absorbent clay particularly suitable for oily, clog-prone skin care.
Canadian Colloidal Clay – a mineral clay that enhances the formula’s deep-cleansing character.
Montmorillonite – a highly absorbent clay that helps bind excess sebum.
Illite – a fine-grained clay that supports skin surface cleansing and a matt, fresher feel.
Together, these clays form the mask’s intensive sebum- and pore-care system.
Glycolic Acid – AHA
A water-soluble exfoliant that primarily supports the removal of dead skin cells accumulated on the skin surface.
Helps make rougher skin texture smoother and more even.
Salicylic Acid – BHA
An oil-soluble exfoliant, making it especially suitable for blackheads, increased sebum production and clog-prone pores.
Gluconolactone – PHA
A gentler exfoliating acid that, besides refining the skin surface, also has moisture-binding properties.
Allantoin + Hyaluronic Acid
Allantoin and Sodium Hyaluronate support the formula’s hydrating and skin-conditioning side to maintain skin comfort alongside the intensive clay and acid system.
Guaiazulene
The characteristic bluish skin-conditioning ingredient complements the formula’s fresh, comfortable character.

🎯 Who do we recommend it for?
Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask is especially suitable if:
- blackheads bother you,
- your pores clog easily,
- your skin is oily or combination,
- your T-zone becomes shiny quickly,
- you want to care for more visible pores,
- your skin texture is rougher or uneven,
- you are looking for a quick, rinse-off pore care treatment.
On drier skin, it is not necessarily required to use on the entire face: it can be applied targetedly to pore-prone, oilier areas.
🧴 Texture and usage
A creamy clay mask that dries quickly after application.
After cleansing, dry the skin completely, then apply an even layer to the face or only to the more problematic areas. Avoid the eye and mouth areas.
While drying, the mask gradually binds sebum and impurities.
After 3–5 minutes, when fully dry, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Drying time may vary slightly depending on the amount applied and skin type.
Especially suitable for targeted use on the nose, forehead and chin areas.
💗 Why do we love it?
Because this is the mask you can reach for even when you don’t feel like a long face mask ritual.
Behind the 3-minute Quick Dry formula is a truly pore-focused system: five different clays absorb excess sebum while the AHA+BHA+PHA combination focuses on dead skin cells, blackheads and uneven texture.
And we especially like that you don’t have to “clay” the entire face: it is perfectly usable as a quick targeted treatment for the nose, chin or T-zone.
❓ Q&A
Is 3 minutes really enough?
Yes. medicube developed the mask specifically as a 3-minute Quick Dry formula.
Exact drying time may vary depending on layer thickness and skin type, so it is generally recommended to rinse after 3–5 minutes.
Can I use it only on my nose and T-zone?
Yes. It works particularly well as a targeted mask on areas with more sebum, blackheads or visible pores.
What is the difference between Zero Pore Pad 2.0 and the Mud Mask?
The Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask is an intensive rinse-off cleansing treatment that focuses primarily on sebum, blackheads and impurities accumulated in pores with five clays and an AHA+BHA+PHA system.
The Zero Pore Pad 2.0 is a leave-on exfoliating toner pad used as part of regular pore and texture care.
Thus, they serve different roles in a routine.
Why are there small dots visible on the dried mask?
As the clay dries, it binds sebum on the skin surface, so the drying pattern may differ on oilier, pore-prone areas. This is a natural part of using the product.
Should I use a moisturizer afterwards?
Yes. After rinsing, continue your routine with a hydrating toner, serum and/or moisturiser according to your skin’s current needs.
