However, regular use is necessary for best results. I also like that it seems to have a pore-tightening effect.
ConsI'm not sure if I'm developing a tolerance or becoming less sensitive to its effects, but it seems to be losing its potency over time. Because of this, I don't plan to repurchase. Also, it can cause irritation if used on wounds or active acne.
TipWhen used together with Medicube pore pads, it definitely reduces the appearance of blemishes and minimizes pores.

After using it, I noticed a visible reduction in blackheads and whiteheads compared to not using it, which was great. It's convenient and simple to use - just apply, wait 3 minutes, and rinse off. I also enjoyed the cooling effect when applying. After rinsing, my previously oily (nose) skin felt soft and matte, which was nice. Recommended skin type: Normal Not recommended for: Super sensitive skin
ConsCons: Despite thoroughly moisturizing and soothing my skin after using the product, I woke up the next morning to find that the blackheads and whiteheads had returned to their original state. Even worse, I noticed some blemishes had appeared. Being someone with sensitive skin, I find that Medicube products tend to be a bit irritating for me. While I understand that managing blackheads, whiteheads, and pores requires consistent care, I don't think I'll be able to use this product regularly.

After using it just once, I met up with friends who complimented me on how much my skin had improved overnight! I highly recommend this product.
ConsBeing a mud mask, it doesn't rinse off easily, so I had to scrub a bit which caused some irritation to my skin.

My pores look the same after washing!' But the next day, my makeup went on so smoothly that I took a closer look - my pores had vanished! It seems to have about a 70% reduction effect. There's a reason why Medicube is trending these days. For those stressed about their pores or with an important appointment the next day, use this, follow up with a soothing ampoule or sheet mask before bed, and you'll have a flawless makeup application!
Cons✔️ Dryness Within 5 minutes of application, it dries quickly, changing from blue to a matte light blue as shown in the picture below! At this point, the skin feels quite tight. I'm continuing to use it, enduring the feeling, as I'm worried washing it off too soon might reduce its effectiveness. ✔️ Caution for sensitive skin Looking at the ingredients list, it could be irritating for those with sensitive skin. As I have sensitive skin myself, I experienced slight blemishes when I first used it. After that, I made sure to apply toner and ampoule thoroughly before using the pore pack, and followed up with a soothing sheet mask after washing it off, which prevented further blemishes.
TipAlthough it's slightly irritating, I'm satisfied with the results and plan to continue using it.

I could visibly see the excess oil in my pores being cleared away.
ConsIt seems to be quite harsh on the skin. The next day, I noticed small blemishes appearing all over, as if my skin was about to break out. I don't think I'll be using this product anymore.

My nose and T-zone pores were a major source of stress. Though the T-zone didn't show much difference, the improvement in my nose pores was undeniable. I'm on my second consecutive day of use, and I believe a week of consistent application will bring about substantial changes! For those aiming for steady maintenance, using it once or twice a week should suffice. Personally, I'm using it not just to maintain but to achieve that pore-tightening effect.
ConsThe only downside is that it can be a bit harsh on the skin. As someone with combination skin and sensitive areas around my cheeks and under my nose where blood vessels are visible, I found it quite intense. When applied all over my face, it felt like an artificial cooling sensation similar to menthol, accompanied by a stinging feeling. It was fine on my nose, T-zone, and forehead, but felt irritating on the more sensitive areas. Moreover, as mentioned in the pros, you won't see dramatic changes after just one use - consistent application is key for visible results in specific areas. However, I'm hesitant to use a mask repeatedly for several days on such sensitive skin.
TipI strongly advise against buying the mask brush sold with the mud pack! Don't waste an extra $10 - use a sponge instead to wipe it off! It's gentler and leaves less residue around the sink. I apply it daily only on my nose, rarely on my forehead, chin, and especially cheeks. In these cases, I recommend using a toner pack on your cheeks, forehead, and chin, while applying a thin layer of mud pack by hand just on your nose and T-zone. This way, your face won't feel dry, and it works great! After wiping off with a sponge, use the toner pack you applied on your cheeks to give your T-zone and nose a final wipe. Then you can move straight to the next step in your skincare routine after toner.
