medicube Red Succinic Acid Peeling Pad are dual-texture toner pads made to help clear congested pores, reduce breakouts, and improve the look of post-acne marks. The formula combines exfoliating acids (including salicylic acid) with succinic acid for blemish care, plus niacinamide to support a more even-looking tone. Each pad has an embossed side for gentle exfoliation and a smooth side for a quick hydration finish.

Benefits:

• Helps unclog pores: Salicylic acid supports clearer-looking pores and helps remove excess sebum.
• Targets breakouts & bumps: Succinic acid helps calm the look of acne-prone skin.
• Improves post-acne marks: Niacinamide helps fade the look of discoloration from past blemishes.
• Smoother texture: Gentle exfoliation helps refine uneven texture and dullness.
• Soothes & comforts: Panthenol and allantoin help reduce the feeling of irritation after exfoliation.
• Easy one-step use: One pad works as a quick “toner + gentle peel” step.

FAQ:

Q: Are these pads “peeling” or harsh?
A: They’re a gentle daily-type exfoliating pad. Start slowly if you’re new to acids (2–3 times/week) and increase as your skin tolerates.

Q: Can I use them every day?
A: Many people can, but it depends on tolerance. If your skin is sensitive, start 2–3 times/week and build up.

Q: Do I need sunscreen when using these pads?
A: Yes. Because they exfoliate, use SPF every morning to help protect skin and prevent marks from looking worse.

Q: Can I combine them with retinol/retinal or strong vitamin C?
A: If you use retinoids or strong actives, it’s safer to alternate nights to avoid irritation (pads one night, retinoid another).

Q: Why does the ingredient list include alcohol and essential oils?
A: The formula includes alcohol and fragrant oils (peppermint, bergamot, rosemary, etc.). If you are very sensitive, patch test first and reduce frequency if you feel stinging or dryness.

Q: Can I leave the pad on like a mini mask?
A: Yes—on oily or congested spots for about 1 minute, then remove and continue with your routine.
