Each of Medicube’s toner pads is designed to work like a serum, delivering concentrated ingredients to problem areas. The specificity of the products is one of the reasons why they’ve become a skin-care staple. From pink collagen pads to exosome calming options and vitamin C soaked pads, there’s an option for every issue. However, the blue Zero Pore pads, formulated with AHAs and BHAs, continued to be the hero of the bunch. The only problem was that for some, the high concentrations of lactic acid  (4.5 percent ) and salicylic acid (0.45 percent) caused breakouts. Switching to the red toner pads with succinic acid proved to be the solution as they are formulated to gently treat acne.

The two pads couldn’t be more different, and cross TikTok, users couldn’t agree more. Discovering Medicube’s red toner pads has created a trend and a solution, whether you have hormonal acne or consistent breakouts. Consumers in the UK are driving the trend even further, making it one to watch as Medicube’s products continue to thrive in the US.
