Hello everyone! Thanks for visiting my blog.
In this article, I am going to share my review for MEDICUBE Zero Pore Pad. :)
I believe people with PORES issue will always notice Pore Solutions products, just like me😆😊
Whenever a product says anything about pore tightening/reduction/minimizing, pore cleansing, pore covering, non-pore-clogging, large pores, and etc, WE ARE ALWAYS on the hunt because we just can't seem to be able to find the Right product to solves our pore issues. Right girls/guys? 👻
I am sorry girls and boys/ladies and gentlemen/uncles and aunties, before I talk about the product, we need to have a better understanding of WHY we have pores issues. So, I'm going to give a 2-3minutes lecture depending on your reading speed. If you are slow, then it will be 10 minutes. HAHA! Joking! 😅
There are many reasons why one can have pore issues and these are the most common reasons as below:
- Acne scars - Understandable people with this type of skin will have large pores on their face if they do not take good care after each and every facial treatment.
- Saggy skin - As you grow older, the production of collagen will reduce/slow down in our body. Thus, it reduced elasticity in your skin. E.g. If you have small pores, but as you get older, your skin starts to drop/attracted to the floor, so it kind of drags your skin down and made your small pores become big pores.
- Weather - Living in a humid/sunny country will also cause open pores mainly because of overexposure to the sun.
- Inappropriate way of face washing - Have you heard about people telling you to wash your face with room temperature water/cold water? Well. Washing your face with warm water is joyful but it does enlarge your pores in a way. However, washing your face with cold water helps to tighten or close up the pores.
- High levels of oil (sebum) production - This type of skin is similar to acne scars, but with excessive oil production on your skin. So, as your skin produces too much oil to keep your skin moisturize, it actually blocks the hair follicles, then you have to go for facial treatment to get them extracted. THEN, you will have pore issue.
- Thick hair follicles - By having thick hair follicles it blocks your body to do its job. Which is to bring the natural skin oil to the skin surface to keep your skin moisturized. So, when you have thick hair follicles, it naturally blocks the oil from coming out if it is too much of them. Finally, you have to get facial treatment and get them extracted. THEN, you will have pore issue.
So, if you have saggy skin, I will not recommend you to buy this product because in my opinion, I think it is suitable for younger people. My guess is around 18 years old - 25/26/27 years old.
NOW, let's continue with the product. The MEDICUDE Zero Pore Pad looks like this as attached below.. In one tube, there are 70 pieces of facial cotton soak with medical benefits solutions. Each facial cotton has two different texture, Silky and Embossed side. The Silky side is said for the purpose of moisturizing skin, manage skin texture and smooth skin for soft texture. While the Embossed side is for skin exfoliating(to remove dead skin/impurities) and remove/reduce excess oil on our skin.

👉Finally, here it comes MY REVIEW💋
I was definitely very excited when I first got the product because "as usual", people spammed the whole internet commenting how goddess is this product. XD
So I bought the products online. At that time, it cost me about SGD50-60 for 3. Although buying online does not guarantee the authenticity of the products, but surely buying online can saved a few dollars in your pocket and sometimes accompanied with online stores vouchers or discounts! 😇
I am sorry my fellow followers, I do not have pictures. So, I'm gonna explain in plain words.
I tried using the product day and night for about 2 weeks. On the first few days, I can feel my skin is tighten even on the first day. However, about two weeks later I don't seem to see much difference and at times my skin grow pimples/acnes still. I am unsure wether the product is MAINLY only suitable for people targeting pores problem WITHOUT pimples/acne prone skin or this product does triggered my skin to grow pimples/acnes. :(
Also, in my opinion, the different sides does not make much difference, perhaps it is just a gimmick, because all of the facial cottons are soak in the same tube with the same solutions, I do not think applying or changing sides will make much difference. If it really wants to make huge difference, I think they should be packed under different packaging(if they want to do Embossed side for skin exfoliate and Silky side for soft skin) to concentrate on each side. Just my opinion :)
I continued using but its doesn't really turns out as what I expected. Perhaps it has something to do with the weather(humid) that I'm living in. Unlike the origin country of the product - Korea, their weather is dry and cold(4 seasons and it is not as bad as the place I stay which is humid ALL YEAR ROUND) even on their normal days are not as humid/bad as my country. I am pretty envy for them :S
So, I am not saying the product doesn't work. I am saying it is not working for me, probably because of the weather and perhaps it is too strong for my skin. I have combination normal to oily skin.
Anyway, thanks for reading people! I hope it helps.
