Medicube Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask 100g

Deep pore cleansing and visible blackhead care in just 3 minutes with clay and AHA, BHA, PHA!

Zero Pore Blackhead Mud Mask is a Korean clay face mask for blackheads, enlarged pores and excess sebum, combining the purifying properties of mineral clays with AHA, BHA and PHA exfoliating acids. Its innovative Quick Dry formula dries in approximately 3 minutes, helping remove impurities, dead skin cells and excess oil that can accumulate in pores. A complex of five clays with different particle sizes, including Bentonite and Kaolin, supports thorough cleansing, while a cooling effect leaves the skin feeling refreshed. The mask helps reduce the appearance of blackheads, smooth uneven-looking texture and refine the look of enlarged pores, leaving the complexion cleaner, smoother and less shiny.

Who is this product for?

For all skin types, particularly combination, oily and blackhead-prone skin. Ideal for those concerned about enlarged pores, excess sebum, uneven texture, blackheads and whiteheads. Especially suitable for targeted care of the T-zone, including the nose, forehead and chin. It can also be used on dry skin, depending on individual tolerance to clays and exfoliating acids.

Key ingredients:

• AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) – exfoliating acids that help remove dead skin cells, smooth uneven-looking texture and improve the appearance of the skin's surface.
• BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acids) – support pore care by helping remove accumulated sebum and reduce the appearance of blackheads.
• PHA (Polyhydroxy Acids) – help gently exfoliate dead skin cells while supporting a smoother-looking, hydrated complexion.
• Bentonite – an absorbent mineral clay that helps draw excess oil and impurities from the skin's surface.
• Kaolin – a purifying clay that helps reduce excess shine and leaves skin feeling refreshed and smoother.
• Five-Clay Complex – combines clays with varying particle sizes to help absorb excess sebum and remove accumulated impurities from the skin.

How to use:

1. After cleansing, make sure your skin is completely dry.
2. Apply an appropriate amount of the mud mask to dry skin, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. Focus on blackhead-prone areas such as the nose, forehead and chin.
3. Leave on for 3–5 minutes until the mask has dried completely and absorbed excess sebum.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with hydrating skincare.

Pro tip: drying time may vary depending on the amount applied and your skin type. For first-time use or sensitive skin, consider starting with a small targeted area.

Good to know:

According to Medicube's product test report and survey, a single application resulted in a 14.77% improvement in blackheads and whiteheads, a 53.47% reduction in sebum and a 98.4% reduction in pore impurities. The manufacturer also reports an immediate cooling effect. Results reflect the specific testing conditions and may vary between individuals. The mask is dermatologist-tested and has undergone low-irritation testing. According to the manufacturer, the formula is alcohol-free, gluten-free and metal-free, and the product is cruelty-free. It also contains two patented ingredients designed to address visible pores and excess sebum.

As the formula contains AHA, BHA and PHA, avoid applying it to irritated or damaged skin. Those with particularly sensitive skin should take care when combining the mask with other exfoliating products. Natural colour variations or slight separation may occur due to the properties of the ingredients, as noted by the manufacturer.
