Product details

A jar of Red Succinic Acid Peeling Pad on a peach table between fresh rosemary and peppermint and a stack of soaked toner pads

Acne-prone skin

A daily peeling pad for acne-prone skin, with succinic and salicylic acid for marks and excess oil.

Medicube’s Red line pad is made for teen and adult acne-prone skin. A “dual erasing” system goes after blemish marks and sebum at once: succinic and salicylic acid for spot care, a protease enzyme for rough texture, and panthenol, niacinamide and allantoin to calm and even tone. The watery essence feels light and non-sticky.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Succinic acid + salicylic acid

  • Panthenol + allantoin

    Panthenol (0.5%, per the jar) and allantoin calm skin, so a daily acid step stays comfortable.

    No. 7, 13 of 32 on the list

  • Niacinamide

    Fourth on the list, it brightens and evens out the look of tone where blemish marks linger.

    No. 4 of 32 on the list

  • Protease

    An enzyme that works on dead skin and rough texture.

    No. 25 of 32 on the list
