Medicube ZERO FOAM CLEANSER 120g

Struggling with clogged pores, excess oil, and a shine that just won't quit in Mauritius' humid climate? The Medicube ZERO Foam Cleanser is engineered to provide a solution. This dermo-cosmetic cleanser creates a rich, dense foam that reaches deep into pores to lift away impurities, sweat, and excess sebum, leaving your skin feeling impeccably clean, refreshed, and comfortably matte without the tight, stripped feeling.

Values You Can Trust: 100% Authentic Guarantee

That feeling of congested, greasy skin at the end of a long, humid day can be frustrating. This cleanser is designed to provide that satisfying deep-clean reset your skin craves.

• Who It's For: Best suited for those with Oily, Combination, and Acne-Prone skin types who are concerned with clogged pores, blackheads, and excess shine.
• What It Does: Creates a micro-foam to thoroughly cleanse pores, remove excess oil and impurities, and helps manage sebum production for a clearer complexion.
• Expected Outcome: Skin feels fresh, clean, and soft immediately after use. With consistent use, expect a visible reduction in pore congestion, blackheads, and midday oiliness.
• Texture & Finish: A dense, creamy foam that rinses clean, leaving a matte but non-drying finish.

1. Step 1: Cleanse (PM Double Cleanse)
   • AM & PM: Squeeze a pea-sized amount of Medicube ZERO Foam Cleanser into your palm, add water, and lather into a rich foam. Gently massage onto your face and rinse thoroughly.
   • PM Only (if wearing makeup/sunscreen): Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve impurities, then follow with the ZERO Foam Cleanser.
2. Step 2: Hydrate & Treat
   • Follow with a hydrating toner and any targeted serums for your concerns (e.g., niacinamide for pores, centella for calming).
3. Step 3: Moisturise & Protect
   • AM: Finish with a lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreen (SPF 30+).
   • PM: Finish with a gel or light cream moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Mindful Use Tip: If you already own a gentle cleanser, consider finishing it before opening this one to prevent waste.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face and neck. A little goes a long way to create a dense foam.
• Frequency: Use twice daily (AM and PM) as the first step in your routine (or the second step in your PM double cleanse).
• Method:
  1. Squeeze the product into wet hands.
  2. Add a small amount of water and rub your palms together to create a rich, dense lather.
  3. Gently massage the foam onto your damp face in circular motions, concentrating on the T-zone and areas with clogged pores.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

Pro-Tip for a Deeper Clean: After creating the foam, let it sit on your T-zone for about 20-30 seconds before massaging and rinsing. This allows the cleansing agents more time to break down sebum in congested pores.

• Immediately: Skin feels deeply cleansed, refreshed, and comfortable. Surface oil and grime are gone, leaving a soft, matte finish without tightness.
• After 2-4 Weeks: You may notice a reduction in blackheads and less visible pore congestion, particularly around the nose and chin. Your skin may appear less oily throughout the day.
• After 8+ Weeks: With consistent use alongside a balanced routine, skin texture appears smoother and pores look more refined. The frequency of minor breakouts related to clogged pores may decrease.

Individual results vary. Consistency and daily sun protection are key to achieving and maintaining results.

Myth: "My skin isn't clean unless it feels tight and 'squeaky'."

Reality: That "squeaky clean" feeling is often a sign of a stripped skin barrier. Harsh cleansers that remove all natural oils can trigger irritation, dehydration, and even cause your skin to produce more oil to compensate. The Medicube ZERO Foam Cleanser replaces this harsh approach by using effective cleansing agents that form a rich foam to purify pores deeply without compromising your skin's essential moisture barrier. It leaves skin feeling clean and balanced, not tight and stressed.

As a wash-off product, the ZERO Foam Cleanser is highly compatible with nearly all skincare ingredients and routines.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Hydrating Toners & Essences: Follow cleansing with products containing Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, or Beta-Glucan to replenish moisture.
  • Active Serums: Creates a clean canvas for actives like Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Retinoids, and exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) to penetrate effectively.
  • Soothing Ingredients: Pairs perfectly with calming ingredients like Centella Asiatica (Cica), Panthenol, and Heartleaf to maintain skin comfort.
• ⚠️ Use Carefully With:
  • Other Cleansers: This product is designed to be a thorough second-step cleanser. Avoid using it immediately after another harsh or drying foam cleanser to prevent over-stripping your skin.

• 🟢 Excellent For:
  • Oily Skin: Effectively removes excess sebum and helps manage shine throughout the day.
  • Combination Skin: Provides a deep clean for the T-zone without overly drying out the cheeks.
  • Acne-Prone Skin: Helps keep pores clear of the debris and excess oil that can lead to breakouts.
• 🟡 May Be Suitable For:
  • Normal Skin: Can be used, especially during humid weather or after heavy sweating, but ensure you follow up with adequate moisturiser.
• 🔴 Use With Caution:
  • Dry & Dehydrated Skin: May be too stripping for daily use. If you have dry skin, a cream or milk cleanser would be a gentler choice.
  • Very Sensitive Skin: While formulated by a dermo-cosmetic brand, any foam cleanser can be potentially drying for highly reactive skin. A patch test is essential.

• Clogged Pores & Congestion: The dense foam penetrates deep into pores to dislodge and remove trapped sebum, dirt, and dead skin cells.
• Excess Oil & Sebum: Helps to control surface oil for a fresher, more matte complexion that lasts longer throughout the day.
• Blackheads: By keeping pores clear of oxidized sebum, it helps reduce the formation and appearance of blackheads over time.
• Acne Prevention: Maintaining clean pores is a fundamental step in preventing new breakouts from forming.

• Product Name: ZERO Foam Cleanser

• Period After Opening (PAO): Typically 12 months.
• Date Markings: Korean products often print the manufacturing date (제조) or the expiration date (까지). Check the package crimp for YYYY.MM.DD formatting.

• Halal Status: This product does not have official Halal certification. A review of common ingredients in this product line suggests it is likely free from alcohol (ethanol) and pork derivatives, but a definitive assessment is not possible without the full, verified INCI list.
• Vegan Status: This product does not have official vegan certification and its full status cannot be confirmed without the complete ingredient list.
• Animal Testing Policy: Medicube states its commitment to cruelty-free practices. However, as brand policies on animal testing can be complex, especially regarding ingredient suppliers or required testing in specific markets, we recommend checking the brand's latest official statements for full details.

• South Korea MFDS Classification: General Cosmetic. This product is classified as a cosmetic for cleansing purposes and is not registered as a functional cosmetic for acne treatment.
• Claims Basis: The claims for this product ("deep cleansing," "pore care") are based on its function as a surfactant-based cleanser designed to remove oil and debris from the skin's surface and pores. Efficacy for sebum control is based on the cleansing action and formulation properties.
• Medical Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, including severe or cystic acne. For persistent skin conditions, please consult a dermatologist.

The full, official INCI list for this specific product is not publicly disclosed in detail. However, based on the "ZERO" line's focus on pore care, the formulation likely includes:

• Gentle Surfactants: Ingredients that create the foam and lift away oil and dirt without being overly harsh (e.g., derivatives of Cocamidopropyl Betaine or Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate).
• Pore Care & Sebum Control Complex: A blend of botanical extracts known for their astringent and oil-regulating properties to help refine the appearance of pores and control shine.
• Hydrating Agents: Such as Glycerin or Butylene Glycol, to ensure the skin does not feel stripped or tight after cleansing.

We are committed to transparency. As the full INCI list is not provided by the brand for verification, we recommend patch testing, especially for sensitive skin.

• Scent Profile: Typically, Medicube's clinical lines have a very light, clean, or medicinal scent and are often formulated to be minimally fragranced.
• Potential Allergens: Without the full ingredient list, a complete allergen screening is not possible. If you have known allergies to specific cosmetic ingredients, it is crucial to perform a patch test before use.

While formulated with a dermo-cosmetic approach, it is always wise to ensure this product is right for you.

• General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if a rash or irritation develops and persists. Keep out of reach of children.
• Patch Test Protocol for Sensitive Skin:
  1. Apply a small (pea-sized) amount of the cleanser to a discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner elbow.
  2. Lather, gently massage, and rinse as you would on your face.
  3. Wait 24-48 hours to observe any reaction.
  4. If you experience any redness, itching, swelling, or burning, do not use the product on your face.

• Texture: Starts as a smooth cream, then transforms into a dense, rich, and fine-bubbled foam when lathered with water.
• Feel on Skin: The foam feels cushioned and substantial, allowing for a thorough cleanse without harsh scrubbing. Rinses away completely without leaving a residue.
• Finish: Skin is left feeling exceptionally clean, soft, and mattified, but not uncomfortably dry or tight.
• pH Level: While not officially stated, K-beauty foam cleansers are typically formulated to be at or near the skin's natural pH of ~5.5 to protect the acid mantle and prevent stripping.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Suitability: The full ingredient list is not available to verify if it is free from common fungal acne triggers (like certain oils and esters). If you are prone to fungal acne, a patch test is highly recommended.

• "My skin feels a little tight after using it."
  This may indicate you're using too much product or your skin is on the drier side. Try using a smaller (half-pea) amount and ensure you are immediately following up with a hydrating toner and moisturiser while your skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.
• "I'm still getting breakouts."
  Cleansing is only one step. Ensure the other products in your routine (moisturiser, sunscreen) are also non-comedogenic. Breakouts can also be caused by hormones, diet, or stress, which a cleanser alone cannot resolve. If breakouts are inflammatory and persistent, a targeted treatment serum (e.g., with Salicylic Acid or Niacinamide) may be needed.

The Medicube ZERO Foam Cleanser is an excellent choice for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• During Humid Summers: It's perfect for daily use to cut through the day's build-up of sweat, sebum, and sunscreen, preventing the clogged pores that high humidity can exacerbate. Its mattifying finish helps control shine in sticky weather.
• During Drier Winters: If your skin becomes less oily in the cooler months, you might switch to using this cleanser only at night (to remove sunscreen and pollutants) and use a gentler milk or gel cleanser in the morning.
• Post-Beach/Workout: Ideal for a thorough cleanse after activities that involve heavy sweating or exposure to saltwater and sand.

At Adilsons, we are committed to bringing you only the best, most effective, and 100% authentic K-beauty products. We believe in empowering you with knowledge to make the best choices for your unique skin. Every product, including the Medicube ZERO Foam Cleanser, is carefully curated and sourced directly from authorised channels in South Korea to guarantee its quality and authenticity. Your skin health and trust are our top priorities.

1. Can I use this cleanser if I have sensitive skin?

While designed for efficacy, foam cleansers can sometimes be drying for very sensitive skin. We strongly recommend performing a patch test first (see our Safety & Patch Test Protocol section) to see how your skin reacts before applying it to your entire face.

2. Is this cleanser suitable for removing heavy makeup?

This foam cleanser is excellent for removing light makeup and daily impurities. However, for heavy or waterproof makeup and stubborn sunscreen, we recommend using it as the second step of a double cleanse, after an oil-based cleanser, to ensure everything is thoroughly removed.

3. Can I use this on my body for back or chest acne?

Yes, absolutely. The pore-cleansing and sebum-controlling properties make it a great option for managing breakouts on the chest and back. Use it in the shower just as you would on your face.

4. Is the Medicube ZERO Foam Cleanser fungal acne safe?

Without the complete, official ingredient list, we cannot definitively confirm if it is 100% free of ingredients that could trigger fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis). If you are prone to fungal acne, please perform a patch test on an affected area before full use.

The Medicube ZERO Foam Cleanser is a powerhouse for anyone battling the effects of a humid climate on their skin. Its ability to deliver a satisfyingly deep clean without stripping the skin makes it a standout choice for managing oil and preventing congestion.

• ✅ Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin looking to control sebum and keep pores clear.
• ✅ Key Benefits: Deeply cleanses pores, removes excess oil effectively, and leaves skin with a fresh, matte finish. A little product creates a lot of foam, offering great value.
• ⚠️ Keep in Mind: May be too potent for daily use on dry or very sensitive skin types. Full ingredient transparency from the brand is limited.

• Processing & Timing: Orders process in 1–2 business days. Delivery typically takes 1–5 business days after partner pickup.
