Medicube Glass Glow 7-Day Set: Australian Guide
Search for a Medicube set in Australia and you will find the same handful of words: set, kit, pack, bundle, box. They all point at the same idea, a ready-made routine that saves you from guessing which cleanser goes with which serum. The Medicube Glass Glow 7-Day Skincare Set is the one that gets asked about most, so here is what is actually in it, what the ingredients do and who it is likely to suit.
We sell this set, so read this with that in mind. Everything below about the products comes from the brand's own product information, and we have flagged where a claim is the brand's rather than ours.
What is in the Medicube Glass Glow 7-Day Set?
The set is built around a simple cleanse, exfoliate, treat and moisturise order. According to its product page it includes:
- Zero Foam Cleanser. A foaming cleanser that uses salicylic acid (BHA) from wintergreen leaf to gently exfoliate and help with excess oil and the look of enlarged pores.
- Zero Pore Pad 2.0 (pore pads). Exfoliating toner pads soaked in a salicylic acid essence. One side is embossed for exfoliating and the other is smooth for toning.
- Zero Exosome Shot. An ampoule the brand describes as giving an at-home microneedling effect, using tiny exosome-coated spicules to help other products absorb.
- A finishing cream you choose. The set comes with a Collagen Jelly Cream (50 ml or 100 ml) or a Vita C Capsule Cream (50 ml).
At the time of writing the set is $152 AUD with the 50 ml Collagen Jelly Cream or the Vita C Capsule Cream, and $170 with the 100 ml jelly cream. Check the product page for current pricing.
Who is a skincare set like this for?
A set suits you if you want a routine without building one product at a time, you are buying a gift, or you want to try Medicube before committing to full-size products one by one. Because the first three steps are pore-focused, it leans towards normal, combination and oily skin, and towards people who care about texture, congestion and dullness.
It is less obviously a fit if your skin is very dry, currently irritated or you are using prescription actives. The brand lists the set as suitable for sensitive skin, but two salicylic acid steps in one routine is a lot for some people. That is a reason to patch test and go slowly, not a reason to skip the advice.
The ingredients, in plain English
Salicylic acid (BHA)
Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which is why it is used for blackheads and congested pores. It can dry or sting, especially if you also use retinoids or other exfoliants. Our guide to blackheads and closed comedones explains what is actually stuck in a pore and what can and cannot be shifted.
Exosome-coated spicules
This is the most unusual step. Spicules are very small needle-like particles, and the brand says they create tiny pathways so actives sink in better. The brand also claims a large increase in absorption; we have not tested that claim, so treat it as the brand's number. Spicules can cause tingling or mild itch, and they are not a substitute for professional treatments. Skip this step on broken, sunburnt or inflamed skin.
Collagen and niacinamide (Jelly Cream)
Hydrolysed collagen in a cream mainly acts as a hydrator because whole collagen molecules are too big to enter skin. We explain this in the real role of collagen-boosting serum. Niacinamide is the part that supports the skin barrier and a more even-looking tone.
Vitamin C and sea buckthorn (Vita C Capsule Cream)
The alternative finishing cream uses encapsulated vitamin C with niacinamide and sea buckthorn extract, and is aimed at dullness and uneven tone. If tone is your main concern, this is the one to pick.
How to use the 7-day routine
- Cleanse. Massage the Zero Foam Cleanser onto damp skin and rinse well.
- Pads. Use the embossed side of a pad over the T-zone, then flip it for the rest of the face. Start every second night, not every day.
- Exosome Shot. Apply as directed on the box. Do not combine it with the pads on the same night until you know how your skin responds.
- Cream. Finish with your jelly or Vita C cream.
- Every morning: sunscreen. Exfoliating acids can make skin more sun-sensitive. See our sunscreen collection and use SPF 50+ daily, as Cancer Council Australia recommends when the UV index is 3 or above.
If you want the full picture of what glass skin involves, our glass skin routine guide covers it. Glass skin is a look based on hydration and smoothness, and no seven-day set can promise it. Results vary.
Around Australia
In humid Brisbane, Darwin and the Gold Coast, the cleanser and pads suit oily summers, and the jelly cream is a light finish. In dry, cool Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart, cut the pads back to once or twice a week through winter and lean on the cream. In Perth and Adelaide, where summer UV is intense, sunscreen matters more than any step in the set.
Buying a Medicube set safely in Australia
- Buy from a seller with a clear Australian returns policy.
- Be wary of prices far below the usual range, as counterfeits are common.
- Check that the full ingredient list is shown before you buy.
- Check the exact variant, because the cream in the box changes by option.
Frequently asked questions
What is in the Medicube Glass Glow 7-Day Skincare Set?
Per its product page: Zero Foam Cleanser, Zero Pore Pad 2.0, Zero Exosome Shot and a finishing cream of your choice (Collagen Jelly Cream or Vita C Capsule Cream).
Is there a Medicube bundle, kit or box set in Australia?
Yes, we sell this Glass Glow set as a ready-made routine, and we also stock a Medicube Deep Glow Set. Browse the Medicube collection for the full range.
Is the Medicube set a good gift?
It works as a gift for someone curious about K-beauty because it is a complete routine in one box. See also our gift sets.
Is it a good trial set for beginners?
It is a set of four steps, so it is more of a starter routine than a tiny trial. Beginners should patch test and introduce the pads and exosome shot gradually.
Which cream should I pick: Collagen Jelly or Vita C?
Jelly cream if hydration and bounce are your priority, Vita C if dullness or uneven tone is. The 100 ml jelly option is for those who want a larger cream.
Can I use the whole set with sensitive skin?
The brand lists it as suitable for sensitive skin, but it contains salicylic acid in two steps. Patch test and start slowly, and stop if you get stinging or redness that lingers.
Is the Medicube set safe in pregnancy?
Check salicylic acid and any microneedling-type product with your doctor or midwife first, and show them the ingredient list.
Will it really give glass skin in 7 days?
The name describes the routine length, not a guaranteed result. Glass skin is mostly about hydration, so expect smoother, more comfortable skin at best, and results vary.
Do I still need sunscreen?
Yes, every morning. Exfoliating acids make sun protection more important.
