Zero Pore Pads 2.0 — Reddit Reviews
by Medicube
Updated November 10, 2026
Lactic and salicylic acids smooth pore congestion fast; barrier damage is common.
What the community says
A swipe-on lactic acid and salicylic acid exfoliant for oily, congested skin that wants smoother pores without a multi-step acid routine. It can feel fast, though Alcohol Denat., citrus oils, and rubbing make irritation and barrier damage real.
