Medicube Red Succinic Acid Peeling Pad

Description

What Is the Medicube Red Succinic Acid Peeling Pad?

This dual-textured toner pad is built for both teen and adult acne-prone skin, combining gentle exfoliation with blemish-focused actives. One side is embossed for mild exfoliation, the other smooth for a quick hydrating finish. It’s formulated to be non-comedogenic and low-irritating, with a lightweight, non-sticky texture.

The pad’s natural orange hue and scent come directly from its active ingredients , there is no artificial colour or fragrance in the formula.

Key Ingredients

The Red Succinic Acid Peeling Pad’s formula centres on:

• Succinic Acid — derived from amber, used here to help manage acne-causing factors and support blemish care.
• Salicylic Acid (BHA) — helps clear congested pores and reduce the look of blackheads and breakouts.
• Niacinamide — supports a more even-looking tone and helps fade the look of post-acne discolouration.
• Panthenol & Allantoin — included to soothe the skin and support comfort after exfoliation.

How to Use

The pad fits in as an early toning step, right after cleansing:

1. Cleanse — start with a clean face.
2. Swipe — wipe the pad gently across the face in upward motions, starting from the centre and moving outward. Be cautious around the eye area.
3. Target problem areas — for specific concerns, apply a little more pressure or leave the pad on the area for about 1 minute.
4. Follow up — once the toner has absorbed, continue with the rest of your routine serum, moisturiser, and SPF in the morning.

This pad is also the second step in Medicube’s wider Red line routine: a Red Succinic Acid Cleansing Booster Serum first, the Peeling Pad second, followed by a Red Succinic Acid Serum.

Who It’s For

Formulated specifically for:

• Both teen and adult acne-prone skin
• Breakouts, congestion, and excess oil
• Post-acne marks and uneven tone left behind by past blemishes
• Anyone wanting a gentle daily exfoliating step alongside blemish-focused actives
