Zero Pore Pad Mild gentle facial cleansing pad

💚 Zero Pore Pad Mild – gentle pore and texture care for more sensitive skin

The medicube Zero Pore Pad Mild, currently named Zero Pore Madecassoside Pads (Mild), is a gentler alternative to the classic Zero Pore Pad. It is a double-sided, pre-soaked toner pad that combines gentle exfoliation with hydrating and skin comfort-supporting ingredients.

The formula contains PHA (gluconolactone), madecassoside, centella asiatica extract, panthenol and various types of hyaluronic acid. It helps remove dead skin cells accumulated on the surface, refines uneven texture and cares for more visible pores without making the routine strongly acidic.

It can be a particularly good choice for drier, more sensitive skin or skin less accustomed to exfoliating acids.

✨ What does it do?

• Gently exfoliates: PHA helps remove dead skin cells accumulated on the surface and smooth the skin texture.
• Helps refine the appearance of pores: medicube developed the formula specifically for gentle pore care.
• Supports skin comfort: madecassoside, centella and panthenol complement the exfoliating ingredient well.
• Hydrates: various types of hyaluronic acid, glycerin and other moisture-binding ingredients help provide a softer, more hydrated feel.
• Helps refine uneven, rough skin surface: regular use supports a smoother, more even complexion.
• Easily incorporated into daily routine: the Mild version was developed by medicube specifically for gentle, regular use.

🧬 Key active ingredients

PHA – Gluconolactone

PHAs are exfoliating acids with larger molecular size, so they penetrate the skin surface more slowly than AHAs or BHAs.

Gluconolactone gently exfoliates to help remove dead skin cells and refine skin texture, while also having moisture-binding properties.

Madecassoside + Centella Asiatica

Madecassoside is one of the best-known components of centella asiatica. Both are present in the formula and are key elements of the toner pad’s soothing, skin-conditioning side.

They particularly complement the gentle exfoliating effect of PHA.

Panthenol

The B5 provitamin in a hydrating and skin-conditioning form that supports skin comfort and its natural protective barrier.

Various types of hyaluronic acid

The formula contains sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium acetylated hyaluronate and hydroxypropyltrimonium hyaluronate forms.

Together, these help maintain skin hydration, softness and a more elastic feel.

🎯 Who do we recommend it for?

Zero Pore Pad Mild can be a particularly good choice if:

• your skin is more sensitive or prone to redness,
• your skin is drier or dehydrated,
• you are just starting to use exfoliating toner pads,
• your skin texture is rougher or uneven,
• you want to care for visible pores more gently,
• the classic Zero Pore Pad 2.0 would be too intense,
• you are looking for a toner pad that focuses on hydration and comfort as well as exfoliation.

🧴 Double-sided toner pad – how to use?

After cleansing, take out one pad and gently wipe your face with outward motions.

The double-sided design allows you to use the textured side to thoroughly wipe uneven areas, then finish gently with the softer side.

Do not rinse off the essence left on the skin: gently pat it in, then continue your routine with serum and moisturiser.

If an area needs extra hydration, according to medicube, the pad can also be left on the skin as a 5–10 minute mini mask.

💚 Why do we love it?

Because it is not simply a “weaker version” of the Zero Pore Pad 2.0.

The Mild formula seeks a completely different balance: it gently exfoliates with PHA while also focusing on skin comfort and hydration with madecassoside, centella, panthenol and various hyaluronic acids.

Therefore, it can be a good entry point into the world of pore-care toner pads even for those who do not want to start immediately with a stronger AHA+BHA combination.

❓ Q&A

What is the difference between Zero Pore Pad Mild and Zero Pore Pad 2.0?

The Zero Pore Pad 2.0 is a more intensive AHA+BHA-based toner pad that primarily focuses on pores, sebum, blackheads and uneven texture.

The Zero Pore Pad Mild is PHA-based and also contains madecassoside, centella, panthenol and various hyaluronic acids. It can be a gentler alternative for more sensitive or drier skin.

Can it be used every day?

Yes. medicube recommends daily use, both morning and evening. If you are new to exfoliating toner pads, you can of course start with less frequent use.

Can I use it as a mini mask?

Yes. If a specific area needs extra hydration, medicube advises leaving the pad on the skin for 5–10 minutes, then gently patting in the remaining essence.

Can it be used on areas other than the face?

Yes. medicube also recommends its use on rougher or oilier areas of the neck, décolletage, back and underarms.
