Does your skin need calming, clearing and barrier support — all in one step, every single day?
The Medicube Exosome Cica Calming Toner Pads deliver exactly that: a daily-use soothing toner pad powered by the same Exosome Cica technology as Medicube's calming cream, now in a convenient 70mm wide dual-textured pad format that tones, soothes, gently exfoliates and hydrates in one effortless sweep.
At the heart of the formula is Exosome Cica — Medicube's fourth-generation nano-sized Centella Asiatica delivery system. The Centella actives are encapsulated in Centella Asiatica Leaf Vesicles that are 1/510th the size of a pore, allowing them to penetrate faster and deeper than standard Cica extracts. Clinical testing demonstrates a soothing effect within 30 seconds and 5.3 times more powerful skin texture improvement than conventional Cica. The full 12-type Cica complex is present: Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Extract, Leaf Extract, Root Extract, Leaf Vesicles, Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid — covering the complete spectrum of Centella's soothing, wound-healing and barrier-rebuilding activity.
Supporting the Cica complex is 2% Niacinamide for pore refining, brightening and barrier support, Houttuynia Cordata (Heartleaf) Water for deep anti-inflammatory calming of acne-prone and reactive skin, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water for antimicrobial and sebum-regulating action, and Ectoin for long-duration moisture protection and environmental stress defence. Saccharide Isomerate provides lasting surface hydration, Lactobacillus Ferment Filtrate supports the skin microbiome, and a botanical complex of Neem (Melia Azadirachta), Artemisia Princeps (Japanese Mugwort) and Citrus Unshiu Peel rounds out the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and skin-clarifying activity. The pH is balanced at ±4.5–6.5 — close to healthy skin — to prevent dryness and irritation.
Clinical results: 7.7% skin texture improvement, 74.1% improvement in dead skin cell build-up, and improvement in blackhead and whitehead area. Dermatologically tested, suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Free from artificial fragrances, artificial colours and alcohol.
How To Use
After cleansing, take one pad and gently wipe across the entire face following the direction of the skin texture, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. This step replaces your regular toner.
Use the embossed (textured) side first to gently exfoliate and sweep away dead skin cells and surface debris. Then flip to the silky smooth side to soothe and moisturise.
For areas needing concentrated care — active breakouts, redness patches, rough texture — press the pad flat against the skin and leave it in place like a mini mask for enhanced calming and hydration.
After use, gently pat any remaining essence into the skin to encourage absorption. Close the lid tightly after each use to prevent the pads from drying out.

What is the difference between the two sides of the pad?
The embossed (textured) side is designed for gentle exfoliation — it helps sweep away dead skin cells, unclogs pores and improves surface texture. The smooth silky side delivers the toning essence, soothes and moisturises. Use the textured side first, then flip.
Can I use it as a mask?
Yes — the large 70mm diameter pads can be pressed flat against specific areas (breakouts, redness, rough patches) and left in place for a few minutes as a targeted mini mask for concentrated soothing and hydration.
How quickly does it soothe?
Clinical testing shows a measurable soothing effect within 30 seconds of application, thanks to the Exosome Cica nano-delivery system.
Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes — the combination of Tea Tree Leaf Water, Heartleaf Water, Neem Extract and Exosome Cica makes it particularly well suited to acne-prone and congested skin. It is dermatologically tested and non-comedogenic.
Can I use it morning and evening?
Yes — it is formulated for daily use, morning and/or evening, as the toning step after cleansing.
Is it pregnancy-safe?
It contains no Retinol, Salicylic Acid or other broadly restricted actives, so it is generally considered suitable during pregnancy. As always, check with your GP or midwife.
