How it works
Medicube Zero Pore Madecassoside Pads Mild is a toner pad built for the toning step right after cleansing. Its ingredient list leads with Panthenol, Madecassoside, and Centella Asiatica Extract, 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. Panthenol does the most work here as a comfort, and the remaining actives round out the texture and finish rather than compete for attention. Placed as the toning step right after cleansing, 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 Madecassoside Pads Mild line rather than a US-reformulated variant, the texture and finish match what Medicube sells through Korean retail.
Key benefits
- Built around Panthenol, positioned for comfort.
- Built around Madecassoside, positioned for comfort.
- Built around Centella Asiatica Extract, positioned for comfort.
- Formulated as a toner pad for the toning step right after cleansing.
- The Korean-market Medicube formula for Zero Pore Madecassoside Pads Mild, matching what Medicube sells in Korea rather than a US-reformulated line.
Key actives
10PanthenolComfort
Panthenol sits in the middle stretch of the ingredient list, a supporting rather than a headline role. It is an ingredient chosen for comfort: provitamin B5, a humectant and comfort ingredient that softens the finish and helps a formula feel less drying over repeated use.
14MadecassosideComfort
Madecassoside sits in the middle stretch of the ingredient list, a supporting rather than a headline role. It is an ingredient chosen for comfort: one of the key soothing compounds isolated from centella, included to keep the skin feeling settled rather than tight after use.
17Centella Asiatica ExtractComfort
Centella Asiatica Extract sits in the middle stretch of the ingredient list, a supporting rather than a headline 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.
28Sodium HyaluronateHydration
Sodium Hyaluronate sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for hydration: a salt form of hyaluronic acid that draws and holds water at the skin's surface, leaving the finish plumper and less tight within minutes of use.
33Hyaluronic AcidHydration
Hyaluronic Acid sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for hydration: a moisture-binding humectant that holds many times its weight in water against the skin, softening the look of fine dry lines.
How to use
- Use one pad in the evening after cleansing, before serum, on skin that is dry to the touch.
- One light pass over the face, keeping clear of the eye area, then let it dry instead of pressing more of it in.
- Follow with a moisturizer while the skin still feels slightly damp, and with sunscreen the next morning.
- Every other evening is a sensible starting rhythm. Do not stack it with another exfoliating product on the same night, mild or not.
What does the Zero Pore Madecassoside Pads Mild actually contain?
Its ingredient list is led by Panthenol, 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 Madecassoside Pads Mild?
Use this toner pad as the toning step right after cleansing. To apply, sweep one pad over the face and neck after cleansing, working outward from the center. 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 Madecassoside Pads Mild the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This Zero Pore Madecassoside Pads Mild 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 Madecassoside Pads Mild with other actives in my routine?
Yes, as long as it is used in its own step, the toning step right after cleansing, 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 Madecassoside Pads Mild suited for?
It suits most skin types looking for toning step right after cleansing rather than a single acute problem. It comes in a 70pads format. Anyone with a known sensitivity to a specific ingredient should check the full ingredient panel on this page before buying.

Ingredient list read from medicube.us on 10 September 2026.
37 of 38 explained
- Water (Aqua) solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Methylpropanediol humectant
- Methylpropanediol is a small glycol used to hydrate and to help water-soluble actives penetrate the outer layer of skin more evenly. It leaves almost no tack, which suits watery textures.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Glycereth-26 humectant
- Glycereth-26 is a modified glycerin that hydrates with far less stickiness than glycerin itself. It is a common way to load water into a formula that has to stay light.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Saccharide Hydrolysate humectant
- Saccharide Hydrolysate is a mixture of plant sugars broken down for use as a humectant. It holds water in the outer layer.
- Tromethamine pH adjuster
- Tromethamine neutralises acidic thickeners such as carbomer so they gel, and holds a formula near skin-friendly pH. It is used at a fraction of a percent.
- Gluconolactone exfoliant
- Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. Its molecule is too large to penetrate quickly, so it smooths the surface without the sting of an AHA, and it is a humectant at the same time.
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
25 more explained
- Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Pear Fruit Extract carries fruit sugars and mild fruit acids. It is used as a hydrating extract with a very light smoothing effect on the surface.
- Madecassoside active
- Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams.
- Rosa Damascena Flower Water plant extract
- Rosa Damascena Flower Water is the water left from distilling rose petals. It is used in place of plain water as a base and carries the scent and trace compounds of the distillation.
- Iris Florentina Root Extract plant extract
- Iris Florentina Root Extract, or orris root, is a long-standing perfumery and skincare ingredient. It is used as a conditioning extract with a soft, powdery scent.
- Centella Asiatica Extract plant extract
- Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
- Cucumis Melo (Melon) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Melon Fruit Extract carries fruit sugars and a natural antioxidant enzyme system. It is used as a light hydrating extract.
- Salvia Hispanica Seed Extract plant extract
- Chia seed extract. Chia seed swells into a gel in water, so the extract hydrates and leaves a cushioned feel.
- Houttuynia Cordata Extract plant extract
- Houttuynia Cordata is heartleaf, and it is one of the two or three anchor plants of Korean calming skincare. Its extract carries quercitrin and other flavonoids and is used for the look of redness and blemish-prone skin.
- Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract plant extract
- Ivy Leaf and Stem Extract carries saponins, plant compounds that foam slightly in water. It is used in body and eye formulas for the look of puffiness.
- Cynanchum Atratum Extract plant extract
- Cynanchum Atratum is a root used in Korean traditional practice. Its extract is used as a conditioning plant extract in formulas for reactive skin.
- Pentylene Glycol humectant
- Pentylene Glycol hydrates and, like the other longer-chain glycols, makes a formula less hospitable to microbes so the preservative system can be lighter. It also improves how evenly a product spreads.
- Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract plant extract
- Ulmus Davidiana is Japanese elm, whose inner bark yields a naturally slippery mucilage. Korean formulas use the root extract for that cushioned feel and for the look of reactive skin.
- Pueraria Lobata Root Extract plant extract
- Pueraria Lobata is kudzu. Its root extract carries isoflavones, plant compounds structurally similar to oestrogen, and Korean formulas use it for the look of thinning, less resilient skin.
- Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract plant extract
- Pinus Palustris is longleaf pine. Its needle extract carries plant antioxidants and appears in Korean formulas alongside other conifer extracts.
- Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract plant extract
- Evening Primrose Flower Extract is used as a conditioning plant extract. The seed oil of the same plant is the better known part, and it is a different ingredient.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Grape Fruit Extract carries polyphenols and fruit acids. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract.
- Diospyros Kaki Fruit Extract plant extract
- Persimmon fruit extract. It carries tannins, sugars and vitamin C, and it is used as an antioxidant, conditioning extract.
- Castanea Crenata (Chestnut) Shell Extract plant extract
- Chestnut Shell Extract carries tannins and is used as an antioxidant plant extract, most often in formulas aimed at visible pores.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract plant extract
- Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.
- Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is hyaluronic acid linked into a mesh. It holds water in a soft gel on the surface rather than sinking in, and it releases that water slowly through the day.
- Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid modified to be part oil-loving, so it clings to skin instead of rinsing away. Formulators call it the one that stays put.
- Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate humectant
- Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate carries a positive charge, and skin carries a slight negative one, so it is attracted to the surface and stays through rinsing. It is the hyaluronic used where a formula gets washed off.

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.
