Medicube's Exosome CICA Tea Tree Calming Toner Pads, priced at £26 on Amazon, have become a summer skincare staple, earning a 4.5 out of five-star average rating from shoppers. Designed to cool and calm skin after sun exposure, the pads are formulated with exosome cica and tea tree leaf water to soothe irritation, manage excess oil, and improve skin texture.
Key Ingredients and Benefits
The toner pads contain 100 pre-soaked pads that deliver a concentrated dose of exosome cica, an advanced ingredient smaller than pores, which Medicube claims provides a more powerful soothing effect than traditional cica. Tea tree leaf water helps calm troubled skin, while the formula also targets pores and uneven texture. Suitable for all skin types, the pads are intended for daily use to hydrate, balance, and soften skin.
User Reviews and Feedback
One five-star reviewer wrote: "Calms my face during flare-ups. These toner pads from Medicube are so soothing and feel great after a hot day in the sun or a flare-up when my face turns all splotchy and angry." They added: "The centella and tea tree work so well to soothe any redness on my skin and I found leaving the pads on each cheek for 15 minutes will work wonders." Another user said: "Cannot explain how good this product is, it has helped my skin from being bumpy and dry to smooth and moisturised. Would definitely recommend." A third simply commented: "Great for glowing skin."
Considerations and Alternatives
Some users noted potential drawbacks. One reviewer cautioned: "The fragrance is quite powerful and my skin got irritated." Another mentioned that pads tend to stick together and lack different textures on each side for varied toning. For those seeking alternatives, LookFantastic offers Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads (60 pads) for £15, down from £20, infused with collagen and hyaluronic acid. Cult Beauty stocks Summer Fridays Gentle Reset Daily Exfoliating Pads for £43, which exfoliate, soothe, and hydrate.
