It’s never been so smooth, either.
I pride myself on putting my money where my mouth is vis-a-vis testing beauty products. I will try almost anything once. But, I thought about indefinitely postponing my trial of Medicube’s One Day Exosome Shot 2,000 pore serum. The brand says this serum features “micro-sized, needle-shaped” particles, which made me apprehensive. I decided to risk it anyway. Two months later, I am so very glad I decided against being a wuss. My pores, especially those on my nose and chin, have never been less visible.
The formula is sort of (more on that later) straightforward. It’s a combination of alpha hydroxy (AHA), beta hydroxy (BHA), and polyhydroxy (PHA) acids. These are chemical exfoliants that slough away dead cells, improve skin texture, decongest, and lessen the appearance of pores—plus, more.

I use this two or three times a week depending on what my skin tells me it needs. I noticed a difference the very first week. The black dots on my nose have all but disappeared and the pores on my nose and chin are the smallest they’ve ever been. The bumpy texture on the rest of my face that I thought would even be immune to alchemy? It’s finally smooth.
Applying Medicube’s Exosome Shot 2,000 pore serum feels like rubbing little needles into your skin. It leaves behind a tingly sensation on the skin for a few minutes. This is not just to make you suffer. This is a K-beauty product, which means it uses cutting-edge technology; In this case, it’s those spicules (tiny, needle-shaped particles) and exosomes. The microscopic needle-shaped spicules poke your skin, allowing a much better absorption of the formula. Exosomes are a delivery system recognized by cells in the body—which also help to increase its absorption and efficacy.
Although the ingredients (AHA, BHA, and PHA) are pretty standard chemical exfoliants that help to make skin smoother, this formula delivers them through innovative means that make Medicube’s Exosome Shot 2,000 one of the most effective products I’ve ever tried.
Head to Amazon to shop Medicube’s One Day Exosome Shot 2,000, and try the 7,500 version if your skin needs a very aggressive dose of this serum’s pore-clearing powers. Scan through more of my soothing and brightening skin care routine, below.
