Medicube Zero Pore Cooling Mask 27g is part of Medicube's cult Zero Pore line and praised by over 100,000 reviews on the Korean Medicube store, this cooling sheet mask targets enlarged pores with a triple-patented formula that also delivers an instant temperature drop without alcohol. The non-alcoholic cooling effect calms heated, irritated skin while niacinamide and adenosine work together to refine pores, regulate sebum, and support collagen production. A blend of seven botanical extracts including kudzu root, elm bark, evening primrose, and pine needle rounds out the soothing and barrier-supporting action.
Good for: Enlarged pores, oily or combination skin, post-sun or post-exercise skin, redness and overheated skin, anyone wanting a pore reset without drying the skin out
Key Ingredients
Niacinamide — tightens pores, evens tone, regulates oil and reduces redness. Adenosine — stimulates collagen and visibly minimises the look of enlarged pores. Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide — the alcohol-free cooling agent that lowers skin temperature on contact. Allantoin — soothes and calms irritation. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (Syn-Coll) — a collagen-stimulating peptide clinically studied for pore size reduction. Botanical complex — Kudzu Root, Ulmus Root, Evening Primrose, Pine Needle, and Indigofera Extract for all-round soothing and barrier care.
Sheet: Cupra-Tencel, thin and highly adherent for deep absorption. Size: 27g / 1 sheet.
How to Use
After cleansing, prep skin with toner. Apply the mask and adjust to fit. Leave on for 10 to 20 minutes, then remove and gently pat the remaining essence into skin. No rinsing needed. Pro tip: keep in the fridge for an extra cooling hit, especially great in summer or after sun exposure.
FAQ
Who is this mask best for? Anyone with enlarged pores, oily or combination skin, or skin that tends to run hot. It's also a great post-sun or post-exercise reset mask.
How does the cooling work without alcohol? It uses a non-alcoholic cooling ingredient that lowers skin temperature without causing irritation, unlike most cooling products that rely on alcohol and can strip and dry the skin.
Does it help with blackheads? The mask tightens and refines pores but doesn't actively extract blackheads. For that, Medicube's Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask is the better call, and the two products work well used together.
How often should I use it? Once or twice a week for general pore care, or any time your skin feels overheated or stressed.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. The formula contains no harsh alcohols, fragrances, oils, parabens, silicones or sulfates, making it well-tolerated across skin types including sensitive.
