Medicube Zero Pore Toner

Medicube Zero Pore Toner is the liquid version of the brand's pore line — for people who prefer a toner they can press in with their hands or layer with a cotton pad.

It combines salicylic acid (BHA), which dissolves the oil and dead skin clogging pores, with niacinamide, which helps regulate oil and refine the look of pore size. The result is clearer, tighter-looking pores and less midday shine on oily and combination skin.

How to use: after cleansing, apply to a cotton pad and sweep over the face, or pat directly into the skin with the palms. Follow with serum and moisturizer. Start once a day.

Frequently asked questions

Toner or toner pads — which is better?
Same goal. Pads add gentle physical exfoliation; the liquid toner is easier to layer and control.

Can it shrink pores?
Pore size is largely genetic, but pores look smaller when they are clear of sebum and oil is controlled — which is what this toner does.

Can I use it with retinol?
Not in the same routine at first. Use the toner in the morning and retinol at night.
