medicube Zero Pore One Day 10 Peptide Serum — 1.01 fl oz | Pore‑refining, Oil‑balancing with AHA/BHA/PHA/LHA & GHK‑Cu

medicube Zero Pore One Day 10 Peptide Serum is a lightweight daily serum designed to refine pore texture, control excess oil, and support firmer-looking skin around pores.

This serum combines a multi-acid exfoliation blend with a targeted 10-peptide complex and 2% niacinamide to address visible pore issues without heavy residue. The updated formula includes AHA, BHA, PHA and LHA to help clear surface buildup and excess sebum, while copper peptide (GHK-Cu) and additional peptides aim to improve the appearance of pore firmness. Its watery, fast-absorbing texture layers easily under moisturizers and makeup and is formulated without artificial fragrances or colorants.

How does this serum refine pores without harsh irritation?

The serum uses a balanced combination of chemical exfoliants—AHA, BHA, PHA and LHA—that work together to gently dissolve dead skin cells and help clear sebum from pore openings. Because these are chemical rather than physical exfoliants, they reduce the need for abrasive scrubs, minimizing micro-tears. The formula also targets cleansing action at the surface and just below, helping pores appear cleaner and less congested over time.

• Multi-acid blend: AHA for surface renewal, BHA/LHA for oil-soluble cleansing
• PHA offers gentler exfoliation for sensitive areas
• No physical exfoliants—reduces irritation risk
• Fast-absorbing watery base to avoid residue buildup

What role do peptides and copper peptide play in pore appearance?

A 10-peptide complex plus GHK-Cu (copper peptide) are included to support the visible firmness and texture of skin around pore areas. While peptides do not change pore count, they can improve the look of stretched or lax pore walls by supporting firmer-looking skin and a more refined surface. This creates a smoother, more uniform appearance where pores are concerned.

• 10-peptide complex targets firmness and surface texture
• GHK-Cu supports skin resilience and visual tightening
• Combined approach aims to reduce the look of stretched pores
• Lightweight delivery helps peptides absorb evenly around pore zones

Can I use this every day, and how does it fit into my routine?

The serum is formulated for daily use and has been tested for low irritation, making it suitable for morning and evening routines depending on your skin’s tolerance. Apply after cleansing and toning but before heavier treatments and moisturizers; follow with sunscreen in daytime because chemical exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity. Start with once daily if you have reactive skin, then increase to morning and evening as tolerated.

• Apply to clean, dry skin after toner and before moisturizer
• Start slowly (every other day) if you have sensitive skin
• Always follow daytime application with broad-spectrum SPF
• Light texture layers well under makeup and serums

What visible improvements can I expect and when?

Users typically notice a cleaner-looking pore opening and less surface oiliness within a few weeks, while improvements in texture and pore firmness may take longer as the skin’s appearance gradually changes. Niacinamide (2%) helps even skin tone surrounding pores, contributing to a clearer-looking complexion. Results depend on individual skin type, consistency of use, and complementary skincare steps like cleansing and sun protection.

• Reduced visible sebum and surface buildup within weeks
• Smoother pore texture with continued use over months
• More even tone around pores thanks to 2% niacinamide
• Best results when used consistently and with SPF
