medicube has slashed prices on popular skincare items by up to 69% in Amazon's Prime Day sale, which runs October 6-7 for Prime members. Among the discounts, the viral Zero Pore Pads have been cut from £16.90 to £11.50.
A beauty writer with an oily-prone complexion and visible pores around the nose and cheeks praised the brand for products that perform at a reasonable price point. She described the pore-refining buy as a standout, noting it left her skin feeling squeaky clean and minimised the appearance of pores around the T-zone.
Zero Pore Pads review and warning
The pads are designed to exfoliate, helping skin appear smooth and refine enlarged pores. However, the writer cautioned against overuse, admitting a habit of daily use may have caused a dry patch on her forehead. Despite this, she said the pads remain the standout choice among similar products, giving fast, visible results in days.
An alternative suggested is the Boots Exfoliating AHA/BHA Pore Pads, 70 pads, retailing for £8.
Other medicube deals in the sale
The medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Volume Multi Balm is now £11.90, reduced from £18.59 (36% off). On first impressions, the writer found it hydrating, light, non-greasy and easy to rub in. Designed to smooth fine lines, she noted small lines instantly appeared less prominent on initial application.
The medicube Capsule Cream with Hyaluronic Acid has dropped from £17.50 to £12.20 (30% off). Though not yet tried by the writer, friends reported it hydrating for parched skin. It contains Ceramide, Allantoin and Betaine to support the skin barrier, with a cooling effect ideal after cleansing. A patch test is advised, and one Amazon reviewer found it 'heavy on the skin.' An alternative is the LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Acid Cream Moisturiser, £33.50 for 50ml at Cult Beauty.
Jelly Gel Masks half price
The medicube Jelly Gel Masks with Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen are now 50% off, with four masks priced at £8.46, down from £16.90. Formulated with Salmon DNA PDRN and low-molecular collagen, they aim to help complexions look plump, smooth and radiant. One shopper commented: "Dewy, glowy, hydrates your skin like butter on toast."
Noting that not all skincare suits every skin type, another reviewer said: "The texture is very much a jelly gel mask, which I mostly liked, but I didn’t completely fall in love with it." The writer has yet to try these masks but is intrigued as colder months approach.
