How it works
Medicube Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam is a foaming cleanser built for the cleansing step of a routine. Its ingredient list leads with Salicylic Acid, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, and Centella Asiatica Leaf Vesicles, so the formula's stated purpose lines up with what actually sits near the top of that list rather than with a single marketing ingredient buried further down. Salicylic Acid does the most work here as a pore care, and the remaining actives round out the texture and finish rather than compete for attention. Placed as the cleansing step of a routine, it is meant to be used AM/PM rather than swapped freely between steps. Because this is the Korean-market version of the Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam line rather than a US-reformulated variant, the texture and finish match what Medicube sells through Korean retail.

Key actives
Salicylic AcidPore care
Salicylic Acid sits near the top of the ingredient list, where the formula puts its heaviest-weighted ingredients. It is an ingredient chosen for pore care: a BHA that works inside the pore lining, included at a level meant for regular use on textured, congestion-prone skin.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark ExtractClarity
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for clarity: a natural source of salicin, the plant precursor to salicylic acid, included for a gentler exfoliating effect on blemish-prone skin.
Centella Asiatica Leaf VesiclesComfort
Centella Asiatica Leaf Vesicles sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for comfort: a cica extract long used in Korean formulation for its calming reputation, chosen here to keep the finish comfortable on skin that flares easily.
GlycerinFormula base
Glycerin sits near the top of the ingredient list, where the formula puts its heaviest-weighted ingredients. It is a texture ingredient rather than a headline active: a classic humectant that pulls moisture to the skin's surface and keeps the rest of the formula feeling comfortable rather than drying.
Butylene GlycolFormula base
Butylene Glycol sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is a texture ingredient rather than a headline active: a lightweight humectant that thins out the texture and helps the formula spread and absorb more quickly.
Medicube Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam
What does the Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam actually contain?
Its ingredient list is led by Salicylic Acid, with the rest of the formula built to support that active rather than compete with it. We list the ingredients in the order the manufacturer prints them, so the ones near the top of the panel are doing the most work in the formula.
How do I use the Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam?
Use this foaming cleanser as the cleansing step of a routine. To apply, work a small amount into a lather with water, massage over damp skin, and rinse thoroughly. Keep it to AM/PM unless the packaging states otherwise, and give the rest of the routine a moment to settle before layering the next step. Give it a full bottle or box before judging the result, since most Korean routines are built for steady use rather than a single application.
Is the Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam is the Korean-market formula, not a version reformulated for US shelves. It arrives with its original Korean-market barcode and batch code intact so the formula can be checked against the box on arrival.
Can I use the Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam with other actives in my routine?
Yes, as long as it is used in its own step, the cleansing step of a routine, and not layered on top of a product doing the same job. Introduce any new step gradually over the first week or two and keep an eye on how the skin responds before adding a second new active alongside it.
Who is the Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam suited for?
It suits most skin types looking for cleansing step of routine rather than a single acute problem. Check the listing for the exact size in stock. Anyone with a known sensitivity to a specific ingredient should check the full ingredient panel on this page before buying.

How to use
- Use it as the water-based cleanse, morning and night, following an oil cleanser on the nights you have worn makeup.
- Press out a short length, lather it in wet hands, then work it over the face for about thirty seconds.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and go to your toner while the skin is still damp.
- Twice a day. Do not rub the capsules in as though they were a scrub, because the foam does the work and the friction does not.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before the first full-face application, especially on skin that reacts easily to new products.
- Stop use and rinse off if stinging, burning, or new redness shows up rather than pushing through discomfort.
