You can usually use Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2–3 times per week , not every day, and adjust based on how oily or sensitive your skin is.

Basic usage guideline

  • For normal/combination skin: 1–2 times per week is a safe starting point because this is an exfoliating, acid-based pad and overuse can irritate your barrier.
  • For very oily, resilient skin: up to 2–3 times per week is commonly recommended for better pore and blackhead control.
  • For sensitive or tretinoin/retinol users: start once weekly on limited areas (like nose/chin) and slowly increase only if your skin stays calm.

Why not every day?

  • The pads use chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA), so daily use can cause stinging, redness, or dryness if your barrier is not very strong.
  • Even though some communities list them in daily routines, dermatology advice and many reviewers warn that 2–3× weekly is a safer maximum for most people to avoid long‑term irritation.

How to fit it in your routine

  • Use after cleansing, before serums and moisturizer, in either your morning or evening routine.
  • Gently swipe with the embossed side, then the smooth side, avoiding the eye area, and do not layer with other strong exfoliants or retinoids in the same routine to avoid over‑exfoliation.

Tips from user experiences

  • Many users notice better texture and fewer blackheads after a few weeks using the pads 2–3 times weekly and sometimes cutting pads in half to focus only on congested areas.
  • If you feel burning, intense tingling, or see flaking, stop, repair your barrier with gentle moisturizers, and reduce frequency or consult a dermatologist before restarting.
