Medicube Kojic Acid Tumeric Toner Pad

After cleansing, take one pad and gently wipe across the entire face in the direction of the skin texture, avoiding the eye and mouth areas. This replaces your regular toner step.

Use the embossed (textured) side first to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and surface debris. Then flip to the smooth side to deliver the brightening essence and tone the skin.

For areas requiring focused care — dark spots, post-blemish marks, congested pores — press the pad flat against the skin like a mini mask for concentrated brightening and soothing care.

After use, gently pat any remaining essence into the skin to encourage absorption. The pads can also be used on the body (chest, back, shoulders, arms) for areas where texture and pigmentation persist. Close the lid tightly after each use.

Always apply SPF 30+ the following morning — Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid both increase photosensitivity.

Kojic Acid — tyrosinase inhibitor that directly fades dark spots, post-acne marks and uneven patches

Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract — antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory active that calms and protects troubled and post-blemish skin

Glycolic Acid (AHA) — surface exfoliation, improves texture, radiance and penetration of brightening actives

Salicylic Acid (BHA) — oil-soluble, penetrates pore lining to clear blackheads and manage sebum

Niacinamide — brightens, refines pores, evens tone, strengthens barrier

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) — antioxidant and additional brightening support

7-type Hyaluronic Acid complex — multi-layer hydration from surface to deeper skin layers

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice) — anti-inflammatory, redness-reducing and brightening

Panthenol + Allantoin — soothe and support barrier recovery

Adenosine — clinically approved anti-ageing active

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — antioxidant protection and formula stability

Dual-textured pad: embossed side exfoliates, smooth side delivers the toning essence

Can I use these on my body as well as my face?
Yes — these pads are specifically formulated for face and body use. They are effective on the chest, back, shoulders and arms where pigmentation, rough texture and acne marks can be persistent concerns.

What is the difference between the two sides of the pad?
The embossed (textured) side gently exfoliates and sweeps away dead skin cells. The smooth side delivers the brightening toning essence. Use the textured side first, then flip.

How quickly will I see results?
Clinical testing shows uneven patches improved 3.13%, excess sebum reduced 19.09% and dead skin cells improved 49.69% after just 2 weeks of use.

Do I need SPF?
Yes, always — Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid both increase photosensitivity. Apply SPF 30+ every morning without exception.

Can I use it if I have sensitive skin?
Yes — it is clinically tested for all skin types including sensitive. Introduce gradually: start 3–4 times per week in the evenings, building to daily use as your skin adapts.

Is it pregnancy-safe?
It contains Salicylic Acid (BHA). Cosmetic-level Salicylic Acid is generally considered low-risk but check with your GP or midwife before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
