Beauty fans are snapping up a Korean skincare product during Boots' 'super savings' event this week. The Medicube Zero Pore Pads 2.0, usually priced at £17.90, are now available for £14.32 using code SAVE20 at checkout.
What the Pads Offer
The pads contain AHA, BHA, panthenol, and allantoin to gently exfoliate and refine the pores. They are designed to be used after cleansing, and are gentle enough for daily AM and PM use. Users simply sweep them over the skin before applying other skincare products.
Shoppers have reported impressive results, including reduced blackheads, visibly reduced pore size, and blurred pores and lines. The pads come in a pack of 70, and some users suggest cutting them in half to extend the time between purchases.
Availability and Reviews
The pads are also available on Amazon, currently priced at a slightly higher £15.30 on sale. On this platform, over 60,000 units have sold in the last month alone, with over 32,700 global customers reviewing the product.
One Amazon shopper said: "Wow instantly blurred my pores and minimised them. Skin feels clean and fresh after one use." Another user said: "This has made my acne so much better and my skin literally blurred somehow. Will repurchase! Easy to use."
More praise has been pouring in on the Boots website, with one customer writing: "I just absolutely adore these exfoliating pads my skin is glowing and the texture of my skin is clear and smooth. I use three times a week and will be a forever purchase."
However, not every user was impressed, with some finding them a little harsh for their skin. One shopper said: "I'm afraid this product caused breakouts. I only used three times. If you have dry skin it's definitely not advised to use unfortunately I've wasted my money." It is always advisable to patch test products first before incorporating them into your daily routine.
Alternative K-Beauty Options
Those who want to try out a range of different K-beauty items might consider a new advent calendar filled with some of the best Korean skincare on the market. The 12 Days Of K-Beauty Advent by LookFantastic contains sunscreen, cleanser, collagen masks, eye cream, firming cream, serum, lip balm, and more. It is worth £140 in total but costs £50 to buy, allowing shoppers to save £90. Key brands include Biodance, Medicube, Beauty Of Joseon, and Anua, with a mix of full-sized and travel-sized items.
Another option is the Boots K+J Beauty Skin Edit, which has been flying off the virtual shelves since its release at the end of July. The box is priced at £35 and is packed with nine glow-giving products which would cost more than £140 to buy separately. It contains six full sizes and three travel sizes, with everything from firming collagen masks to rejuvenating cream, a sun stick, toner pads, and more. There are viral names included such as Beauty Of Joseon and Biodance, along with lesser-known brands like Dr. Reju and Purito. Shoppers can view the full content list on the Boots website.
