medicube Zero Pore Blackhead Cleansing Oil melts away makeup and excess oil while helping improve the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads and congested pores. Formulated with 90.6% plant-derived oils, it gives skin a thorough cleanse with a soft, moisturised finish. Size 205ml.
The silky oil transforms into a milky texture when mixed with water, helping lift away makeup, sebum and daily impurities as you rinse. Its nourishing blend includes soybean, grape seed, jojoba, argan and sunflower oils.
LHA and whitehead care
The formula contains LHA, listed as Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, an exfoliating ingredient that helps loosen dead skin cells at the skin’s surface. This supports smoother-feeling skin and helps address the build-up associated with clogged pores.
Alongside its cleansing oils, LHA adds an exfoliating element to your cleansing routine. Medicube reports improvements in both whiteheads and blackheads in testing of the finished formula. Results vary, and this rinse-off cleanser should not be expected to remove every whitehead or replace a targeted treatment for persistent congestion.
How to use
Apply two to three pumps to dry hands and gently massage over a dry face. Add a little water and continue massaging until the oil turns milky. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. If you double cleanse, follow with your usual water-based cleanser.
Frequently asked questions
Does it help with whiteheads as well as blackheads?
Yes, the formula is designed to help improve the appearance of both. Its cleansing oils help lift away excess sebum, while LHA provides exfoliating support. Results will vary depending on your skin and the type of congestion.
What is LHA?
LHA stands for lipohydroxy acid. Listed as Capryloyl Salicylic Acid in the ingredients, it is a derivative of salicylic acid used for gentle surface exfoliation.
Does it remove makeup?
Yes. It helps dissolve makeup and oily residue, which are lifted away when the formula is emulsified with water and rinsed off.
Should I apply it to wet or dry skin?
Start with dry hands and a dry face. Add water after massaging to turn the oil into a milky emulsion.
Is it fragrance-free?
No. This formula contains fragrance.
