MediCube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 46 ingredients
sooo harsh, damaged my skin barrier even tho i only used it 1-2x a week! has alcohol n a buncha fragrances. and this says "suitable for sensitive skin" on the packaging?? 0.45% bha also isnt enough for exfoliation as its below the 0.5% minimum.
tiktok hype made me buy it but it stung my skin sooo bad i had to give it away.
Using this to reduce pore size it definitely does get the job done. I noticed the difference in my pores within two days so it is living up to what the product is marketed for! Every time I use it, my skin would look glowing and clean, but I feel that it’s slightly broke me out or maybe was a bit harsh because my skin started having tiny rashes or like I said breakouts but it isn’t stripping or Show more
