Unless I’m in the shower, I’m swiping a micellar water-soaked cotton round across my face and calling it a night. I don’t enjoy the effort—and frankly, the wet mess of water dripping down my arms—that comes with cleansing my face in the sink. Also, I never found a cleanser that I adored.
You can imagine the horror on my colleagues’ faces when I tell them about my lack of cleansing (we preach about how important it is to wash your face, after all!). So after some persistent nagging, they finally convinced me to try the viral Medicube Zero Foam Cleanser. Let me tell ya, I didn’t have high hopes.
I expected this to be just another cleanser. But after using this for a month, my stubborn chin congestion cleared up and my skin looks even glowier than usual. Am I officially a face cleansing convert?
Keep reading for my full review. Medicube’s Zero Foam Cleanser is the K-Beauty brand’s top-selling face wash designed to deep clean pores. Beyond removing dirt, debris, and excess oil from the skin, it also helps to control sebum production, maintain your barrier’s moisture levels, and minimize the appearance of pores for a smoother complexion.
Funnily enough, despite the name “Zero Foam,” the paste texture does lightly froth up into a silky foam. However, rather than leaving skin squeaky clean and tight, this restores moisture for a fresh, bouncy finish. Even though this cleanser deep cleans pores, it is gentle enough to use every day.
This is because it utilizes low doses of natural ingredients—including quince, lemon balm, wintergreen leaf extract, and orange blossom extract—that simultaneously clear out pores and replenish your skin with moisture, so you don’t get that uncomfortable tight feeling post-cleanse. So we already know I’m not the biggest cleanser fan. When I do use one, I typically opt for a creamy formula that boosts hydration because my skin leans dry.
