Building a skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. The key is understanding what each product does, when to use it, and how the steps work together.
In this guide, we’ll walk through a simple Medicube skincare routine using four essentials from The Glass Skin Lab: Zero Foam Cleanser, Zero Pore Pad Mild, Red Succinic Acid Serum, and Collagen Jelly Cream.
Together, these steps focus on cleansing, pore care, targeted treatment, and hydration—the foundation of a simple routine designed to support smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
Step 1: Cleanse with Medicube Zero Foam Cleanser
Start with clean skin. Medicube Zero Foam Cleanser helps remove excess oil, impurities, and buildup that can make pores look more noticeable. Use a small amount on damp skin, gently massage, and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
This step prepares the skin for the rest of the routine without adding unnecessary complexity.
Step 2: Refine with Medicube Zero Pore Pad Mild
After cleansing, use Medicube Zero Pore Pad Mild to gently refine the look of pores and improve the appearance of skin texture. Swipe one pad gently across the face, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
Because this is an exfoliating step, you don’t necessarily need to use it every day. Start gradually and adjust the frequency based on how your skin responds.
Step 3: Treat with Medicube Red Succinic Acid Serum
Next, apply Medicube Red Succinic Acid Serum as the targeted treatment step. This serum is designed for blemish-prone skin and helps support the appearance of clearer, more balanced skin while addressing excess oil and visible imperfections.
Apply a small amount to clean skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas. If your routine already includes strong exfoliating acids, retinoids, or other active treatments, introduce this serum gradually rather than layering multiple strong actives at once.
Step 4: Hydrate with Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream
Finish the routine with Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream to provide hydration and help support a smooth, plump, radiant-looking finish. Apply an appropriate amount over the face and gently spread until absorbed.
This moisturizing step helps seal in hydration and completes the routine, leaving the skin with the dewy appearance associated with the glass skin look.
How to Use This Medicube Routine Morning and Night
Morning: Keep the routine simple. Cleanse as needed, follow with Collagen Jelly Cream for hydration, and always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Evening: Cleanse with Zero Foam Cleanser, use Zero Pore Pad Mild on your exfoliation days, apply Red Succinic Acid Serum as appropriate for your routine, and finish with Collagen Jelly Cream.
You do not need to use every active step every day. Introduce exfoliating and treatment products gradually, especially if your skin is sensitive or you already use other active skincare ingredients.
Can You Use All Four Medicube Products Together?
Yes, these four products can be part of the same skincare routine, but that doesn’t mean every step needs to be used at the same frequency.
Zero Foam Cleanser and Collagen Jelly Cream can form the cleansing and moisturizing foundation of the routine, while Zero Pore Pad Mild and Red Succinic Acid Serum should be introduced according to your skin’s needs and tolerance.
If you experience persistent irritation or have a skin condition, consider consulting a dermatologist before adding new active products to your routine.
Build Your Glass Skin Routine with Intention
Glass skin is not about using as many products as possible. It’s about building a consistent routine that supports your skin’s individual needs.
Start with the essentials, introduce active products gradually, and pay attention to how your skin responds. With the right balance of cleansing, targeted care, hydration, and daily sun protection, you can build a routine that supports healthy, radiant-looking skin.
