Medicube Zero Pore Blackhead Deep Cleansing Oil — 205ml
The Last Word in Blackhead Removal. One Oil. Zero Pores Left Behind.

Blackheads are stubborn. Surface cleansers can't reach them. Scrubs can't dissolve them. Pore strips traumatize the skin around them. The Medicube Zero Pore Blackhead Deep Cleansing Oil was engineered specifically to do what no other format can — penetrate deep into the pore, dissolve hardened sebum at the molecular level, and lift blackheads, makeup, and impurities out completely in a single, effortless cleanse.

Designed to dissolve sebum, blackheads, and makeup in a single step, this cleansing oil features specialized ingredients that target stubborn impurities and help unclog pores with ease — formulated with 90.6% of 11 plant-based oils, providing a mild yet powerful cleansing experience suitable for daily use

And the moment water touches this oil? It transforms. A silky, transparent cleanser becomes a rich, white milky emulsion — lifting every last trace of impurity from the skin and rinsing away cleanly, leaving nothing but clear, hydrated, visibly refined skin behind.

What It Does

Dissolves Blackheads Hardened Sebum — Specialized ingredients target sebum and help remove hardened impurities within the pores — going beyond surface-level cleansing to reach the compacted, oxidized sebum plugs that form blackheads deep within the pore lining, dissolving them from the inside out.

Removes Makeup; Sunscreen in One Step — Effectively cleanses makeup and sunscreen while leaving the skin moisturized and refreshed — including waterproof formulas, heavy foundations, and stubborn SPF residue — without requiring a separate micellar water, makeup remover, or pre-cleanse step.

Gently Exfoliates Inside the Pore — LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) gently exfoliates and helps dissolve blackheads and improve skin texture ;— a lipophilic acid that is oil-soluble and uniquely capable of penetrating the sebaceous follicle to exfoliate from within, preventing future pore congestion with every cleanse.

Refines & Minimizes Pore Appearance — LHA and Niacinamide reduce the visibility of pores and contribute to a more even skin texture — working together to address both the structural cause of enlarged pores (congestion) and the cosmetic appearance of pore size (sebum regulation and barrier strengthening).

Soothes, Hydrates &; Protects — Guaiazulene and Hyaluronic Acid strengthen the skin barrier and retain moisture without drying out the skin — ensuring that deep cleansing never comes at the cost of skin comfort, hydration, or barrier integrity.

Safe for the Delicate Eye Area — Even the most sensitive areas, like the delicate skin around the eyes, are cared for — making this one of the few cleansing oils gentle enough to use for full eye makeup removal, including mascara and eyeliner, without irritation.

Key Ingredients

90.6% 11-Plant-Based Oil Complex — The extraordinary foundation of this formula. Made up of 90.6% plant-derived oils including grape seed, olive, argan, and rice bran oils, this nourishing cleansing oil gently melts away makeup, sebum, and blackheads for a fresh and clean feel. ; Each oil is selected for its unique skin affinity, cleansing efficacy, and nourishing properties:

Jojoba Seed Oil — Structurally similar to human sebum, Jojoba dissolves like-with-like, penetrating the pore and lifting compacted sebum out naturally without disrupting the skin's lipid balance.

Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus Annuus) — Rich in linoleic acid, sunflower oil replenishes the skin barrier's essential fatty acids and delivers lightweight, non-comedogenic nourishment.

Macadamia Seed Oil — One of the most skin-compatible botanical oils available, Macadamia oil mimics the skin's palmitoleic acid content to deeply nourish, soften, and protect.

Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) — The legendary Moroccan beauty oil, rich in tocopherols and essential fatty acids, delivering antioxidant protection and exceptional skin conditioning.

Olive Oil (Olea Europaea) — A classic emollient rich in squalene and oleic acid that deeply conditions, restores, and protects the skin barrier during cleansing.

Rice Bran Oil (Oryza Sativa) — Rich in gamma-oryzanol and Vitamin E, Rice Bran Oil brightens, softens, and delivers antioxidant protection with a silky, non-greasy elegance.
Soybean Oil — Deeply moisturizes the skin and gives it instant softness , rich in phospholipids and sterols that support long-term barrier function and skin suppleness.

LHA — Lipo Hydroxy Acid (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) — The most sophisticated exfoliating acid in this formula and one of the most advanced actives in modern K-beauty cleansing. Unlike standard Salicylic Acid, LHA is lipophilic — meaning it is oil-soluble and capable of penetrating directly into the sebaceous gland lining. It exfoliates the inner walls of pores, dissolves the keratin plugs that form blackheads, and progressively refines pore size and texture with repeated use — all without the stinging, dryness, or sensitivity of conventional BHAs.

Niacinamide — Reduces sebum production and prevents the formation of blackheads — addressing the root cause of pore congestion at the source. Niacinamide also brightens uneven tone, strengthens the barrier, and delivers the pore-minimizing, clarity-boosting benefits it is celebrated for across the entire Medicube Zero Pore range.

Guaiazulene — Calms irritated and congested skin with its anti-inflammatory properties;— a rare, azure-blue compound derived from Chamomile that is one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory ingredients in skincare. Guaiazulene is what gives the formula its signature deep blue color and its exceptional ability to soothe post-cleanse redness and sensitivity.

The Oil-to-Milk Transformation

The most satisfying moment in any cleansing oil routine — and the Medicube Zero Pore formula is engineered to make it extraordinary. Upon contact with water, this oil transforms into a milky texture, ensuring smooth application and effortless emulsification. It rolls smoothly on the skin, quickly emulsifies, and leaves no residue, offering a fresh and lightweight finish.

The science behind this transformation: the plant-based emulsifiers in the formula are designed to bind with water molecules on contact, converting the oil phase into microscopic oil-in-water droplets — encapsulating every dissolved impurity, pigment, sebum plug, and SPF particle and suspending them in the milky emulsion, ready to rinse away completely. No traces left on skin. No oily film. No clogged pores from incomplete rinsing. Just clean, clear, refreshed skin.

Who Is It For?

The Medicube Zero Pore Blackhead Deep Cleansing Oil is the ideal first-cleanse oil for:

Oily and combination skin prone to blackheads and congested pores

Anyone frustrated by persistent blackheads that surface cleansers can't clear

Makeup wearers — including foundation, concealer, mascara, and SPF users

Acne-prone skin that needs deep cleansing without aggravating sensitivity

Sensitive skin that reacts to harsh makeup removers or scrub-based cleansers

Anyone building a double-cleanse K-beauty routine from scratch

Pore-obsessed skincare enthusiasts seeking clinically proven pore improvement

How to Use

Step 1: Pump 2–3 times and apply to dry hands. Step 2: Gently massage onto your face to dissolve sebum and blackheads. Step 3: Add water and massage until the oil turns white and milky to effectively care for sebum, blackheads, and pores.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no residue remains, then pat dry gently.

For Double Cleansing: Use Zero Cleansing Oil to remove makeup and impurities, then follow with Zero Foam Cleanser for a refreshed and clean finish. At Seoulma-skincare, we recommend following with the Dr. Althea Amino Acid Gentle Bubble Cleanser as your second cleanse — its amino acid formula and UFD nano-foam technology perfectly complement the deep-pore action of this oil cleanser for a complete, barrier-safe double cleanse.

💡 Pro Tip: For stubborn blackhead areas — typically the nose, chin, and forehead — spend an extra 30–60 seconds massaging the oil cleanser into these zones before adding water. The longer the LHA and plant oils remain in contact with the pore, the more effectively the hardened sebum is dissolved before emulsification. Consistency over 4–6 weeks delivers the most significant pore refinement results.

Why Seoulma Skincare Recommends It

At Seoulma Skincare, the Medicube Zero Pore Blackhead Deep Cleansing Oil earns its place as our top recommendation for anyone whose primary skin concern is blackheads or congested pores. Most cleansing oils simply remove makeup. This one actively treats the pore while it cleanses — delivering LHA exfoliation, Niacinamide pore refinement, and Guaiazulene calming in every single use. That is the Medicube difference, and it's why the clinical results speak so clearly.
