MEDICUBE Zero Pore Cream 2.0 50ml

Oily skin often ends up over-treated and under-moisturized, which is the gap this cream is built for. The Medicube Zero Pore Cream 2.0 is a 50ml lightweight cream that finishes a routine without adding weight.

Camellia japonica flower extract sits sixth on the list and is the ingredient Medicube leads with, paired with glycolic acid at eleventh for a mild surface step. Around them sit panthenol, allantoin, sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid for the moisture side, plus an unusual set of plant and mushroom extracts including tricholoma matsutake, fomes officinalis, rhododendron chrysanthum leaf and pueraria lobata root. The texture is light enough to sit under sunscreen without pilling.

This suits oily and combination skin. Note the formula contains beeswax, so it is not vegan, plus fragrance, and the glycolic acid means daily sunscreen matters.
