Formulation Deep Dive
Medicube Zero Pore Pads are a water-based, dual-action exfoliating and clarifying treatment designed to regulate sebum production and refine skin texture. The carrier system employs a high concentration of humectants, including Methylpropanediol, Glycereth-26, and Glycerin, alongside Alcohol Denat. to facilitate rapid penetration of actives and provide a clean, astringent finish. The active strategy utilizes a synergistic blend of Lactic Acid (AHA) for surface-level keratolysis and Salicylic Acid (BHA) paired with Betaine Salicylate to penetrate lipid-rich pores and dissolve follicular debris. This performance is supported by Panthenol (Provitamin B5) and Allantoin to mitigate potential irritation from the acid complex and bolster barrier resilience. The formula is stabilized via an Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer network and utilizes a broad-spectrum preservation system featuring 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin for microbial stability.
