Medicube Red Succinic Acid Peeling Pad
Clear congestion, refine pores, and smooth troubled skin with one easy toner pad.
The Medicube Red Succinic Acid Peeling Pad is a targeted Korean exfoliating toner pad specially designed for blemish-prone, congested, and oily skin. Saturated in a lightweight exfoliating essence, these convenient pads help remove dead skin buildup and excess sebum while improving the appearance of pores, uneven texture, and post-breakout marks.
Powered by Succinic Acid and Salicylic Acid (BHA), the formula works to clear pore-clogging impurities and refine rough, bumpy skin. Niacinamide helps improve overall skin clarity and uneven tone, while Panthenol and Allantoin provide soothing support to keep skin feeling comfortable after exfoliation.
With 70 generously soaked pads, this non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested formula has a mildly acidic pH of 3.5–5.5 and is formulated without artificial colours or artificial fragrance.

💡 Pro Tips
New to exfoliating acids?
Start with 2–3 uses per week and gradually increase according to your skin’s tolerance.
Never skip sunscreen.
Because exfoliating acids can make skin more vulnerable to sun exposure, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
Pair with soothing hydration.
Follow with a gentle hydrating serum and barrier-supporting moisturiser to keep skin comfortable and balanced.
⚠️ If you have very sensitive skin, patch test first and avoid layering with multiple strong exfoliants or retinoids in the same routine if irritation occurs.
