This is the first-step cleanser in Medicube’s Zero Pore line. Massaged over a dry face, the oil breaks down make-up, sunscreen and sebum. Add a little water and it turns milky, which lets it rinse off cleanly. Medicube makes it for blackheads, excess oil and enlarged-looking pores, and lists it for combination, dry, oily and sensitive skin.

Medicube says 90.6% of the formula is made up of 11 plant oils. Soybean oil is the first ingredient.

Key ingredients

• LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid): Medicube includes it for skin texture.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3): Medicube includes it for sebum and blackheads.
• Guaiazulene: Medicube describes it as a calming ingredient with low irritation.
• Grape seed, olive, jojoba and argan oils: part of the plant-oil blend.

How to use

• Pump two or three times into dry hands.
• Massage over a dry face to loosen make-up, sebum and blackheads.
• Wet your hands and keep massaging until the oil turns milky white.
• Rinse well. To double cleanse, follow with a foam or gel cleanser.

Good to know

• 205ml pump bottle.
• Contains fragrance.
• Because the formula is high in plant ingredients, its colour can shift with light or heat. Medicube says this does not affect quality. Store it away from direct sun.
• Keep it out of your eyes, patch-test before regular use and stop if irritation occurs.
