Performance & Real-World Use\n\nThe Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 is intended for daily use as a toning or light exfoliating step in your skincare routine.

Cleanse: After cleansing your face, gently pat your skin dry.\n2. Wipe: Take one Zero Pore Pad from the container. Use the embossed side to gently wipe across your face, focusing on areas with visible pores or uneven texture. Avoid the eye and lip areas.\n3. Smooth: Flip the pad to the softer, plain side and gently wipe over the entire face to ensure even application and absorption.\n4. Follow Up: Continue with your regular skincare routine, applying serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen.\n\n### Usage Tips\n- Start Gradually: If you have sensitive skin, begin by using the pads every other day and gradually increase to daily use if tolerated.\n- Patch Test: Before first use, apply a small amount of product from a pad to an inconspicuous area of your skin (e.g., behind the ear or on the jawline) to check for adverse reactions.\n- Gentle Application: Always wipe gently; excessive scrubbing is unnecessary and can cause irritation.\n- Sun Protection: As exfoliating products can increase sun sensitivity, always apply sunscreen during the day when using this product.
