Amazon has cut the price of Medicube Zero Pore Pads to £12.30, reduced from £16.90, in a limited-time deal. The pads, described as a "game changer" for clear complexions, are among bestselling Medicube skincare favourites on offer.
Designed to exfoliate and refine pores, the pads help battle breakouts and blackheads, leaving skin looking clearer and smoother, according to the brand. With a textured side to remove dead skin cells and a soft side to hydrate and soothe, they have become a viral sensation.
Strong sales and ratings
More than 70,000 units were purchased from Amazon in the last month alone. The product has nearly 28,000 ratings on Amazon, earning an average score of 4.6 out of five stars from shoppers who have tried and tested them.
The deal beats Boots, where the pads are currently on sale for £16.11 as part of the retailer's K Beauty sale. For a budget option, Boots offers its own Exfoliating AHA/BHA Pore Pads for £8, while No7 Good Intent Pore Buff Clarifying Acid Pads are £14.95.
Customer reviews
One reviewer said their nose "hasn't looked this clear in years" after trying them, adding: "I've always had stubborn little blackheads around it that never seemed to budge. I tried nose strips in the past but they made very little difference. After just a couple of weeks using the Medicube pads, I can see a real difference - fewer spots and my skin overall looks smoother and clearer."
Another shopper fed back: "I've been using this product for about a month. I recently saw a friend who proceeded to ask me if I had Botox lately. She said I was glowing and looked 10 years younger. This product really has changed my overall skin texture. 10/10 would recommend."
A third person shared: "I have recently been having hormonal breakouts and rough patches on my cheeks, after one week my skin is SO much better. I cleansed any big hormonal spots on my jawline as usual, used these as toner and then put a spot patch on top before bed and instead of breaking out into huge swollen spots they just dried up and shrank down with no drama!"
Someone else praised in a review labelled 'Game changer': "I'm in my mid 40s and these have given me the perfect skin I've always wanted! I've got rosacea, so I use a prescription cream for that, but this has removed any other bits of redness and given my skin a glow. I use the pads daily on my face and neck and my skin is far more even and smooth."
Alternative options and considerations
Medicube Zero Pore Pads are available in variants including kojic acid and turmeric, PDRN pink collagen, succinic acid, and vitamin C, all priced between £12.30 and £12.90. Rave reviews have called the product "phenomenal" and "like a facelift in a pad."
Overall, 79% of Amazon shoppers gave the pads a five-star rating, with 12% awarding four stars. However, some users experienced breakouts or dryness. One reviewer remarked: "Looks like it does the job but it leaves my skin really sticky for some reason, which I don't like, so I have to wash my face afterwards." Another advised: "They are very easy to overuse. If applied all over the face too frequently, they can become quite drying and start to compromise the skin barrier, especially for younger or more sensitive skin types."
