[ Medicube ] Zero Pore Clearing Capsule Cleansing Foam 120g

RECOMMENDED FOR: Oily and combination skin with heavy sebum and concentrated blackheads/whiteheads on the nose and T-zone, skin with rough, bumpy pore texture causing makeup to lift, skin wanting daily smooth pore cleansing with no scrub irritation

PERFECT FOR: When blackheads, whiteheads, and bumpy pore texture on the nose and T-zone are on your mind, and you want a triple-acid capsule cleanser with no scrub irritation

AM: Take an appropriate amount on damp palms and lather, lightly crushing the capsules between your palms. Apply the foam over your whole face and roll in circles for 1 minute over the nose, chin, and forehead where sebum and texture are heaviest, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water so no capsule residue remains.

PM: Use the same way in the evening as in the morning; suitable as a daily cleanser with no morning/evening distinction.

A viscous gel-cream texture studded with fine blue sebum capsules. Capsules melt softly rather than scratch when rolled, turning into a dense lather for a refreshing water-peel cleanse. A cool, fresh clean herbal tea tree scent like a forest walk.
