| Verdict | The Zero Pore Pad 2.0 is one of the few exfoliant pads that lives up to the hype. The combination of BHA and glycolic acid with niacinamide delivers visible pore refinement within a week of consistent use. The textured side provides gentle physical exfoliation without being abrasive. Not suitable for daily use on sensitive skin, but for oily and combination types, this is an efficient two-in-one exfoliation step. | Ranked #1 blemish pad on Olive Young for two consecutive years and the product that made Mediheal #1 overall. The magic is the balance — salicylic acid does the exfoliating work while madecassoside from centella calms any reaction. Use 2-3 times a week and acne-prone skin visibly clarifies within 3-4 weeks. |
