Medicube's Zero Pore Pad Sales Jumped 920% This Year, and Biodance Isn't Far Behind

Two Korean skincare products just posted some of the sharpest year on year sales increases of 2026 at UK retailer LookFantastic, according to data the retailer published on October 19. Medicube's Zero Pore Pad 2.0 toner pads grew 919.9% compared to the year before, and Biodance's Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask grew 331.5%, landing both inside LookFantastic's top 10 most shopped skincare products of the year so far.

This ranking is built from LookFantastic's own sales figures rather than follower counts or view totals, which makes it a useful reality check on which K-beauty products are actually being bought and which ones are just loud online. La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast Balm B5 topped the overall list with an 81.9% jump, but the two K-beauty entries posted bigger percentage gains than almost everything else on it, LED masks and retinal serums included.

Medicube's Zero Pore Pad 2.0, by the numbers

Medicube sells the pads pre soaked in tubs of 70, with one side textured for light physical exfoliation and the flip side smooth for a gentler finish. The formula is built around lactic acid and salicylic acid alongside panthenol, allantoin and sodium hyaluronate, aimed at the kind of clogged pores, blackheads and rough texture that shows up under bathroom lighting but not much else.

The pads have been circulating on TikTok for months, including clips where creators walk through the routine alongside a dermatologist explaining how to avoid over exfoliating with them. That kind of attention is usually impossible to tie back to actual purchases, which is what makes a 919.9% jump in one retailer's own sales data so striking.

The breakout star of the year.

That is how Retail Times, which first reported LookFantastic's figures, summed up the pads' run, and the retailer's own growth number backs it up more than most viral skincare claims ever get to.

Biodance's mask that turns see through overnight

Biodance's Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask is an overnight hydrogel sheet mask built around collagen. Its signature trick is visual rather than chemical, the mask goes on opaque white and turns transparent as it sits on the skin, which is exactly the kind of before and after moment that travels well on TikTok and Instagram without needing any caption at all.

At 331.5% growth, Biodance's increase is smaller than Medicube's by percentage, but it is still a huge jump for a mask that has already been a fixture of K-beauty recommendation lists for a couple of years. Where Medicube's growth looks like a new product finding its audience, Biodance's looks like an older viral hit still gaining ground.

Beauty of Joseon's Relief Sun Rice and Probiotics SPF50+ also made LookFantastic's top 10, sitting at number five with 77.3% growth, which means three of the site's ten best selling skincare products right now are Korean. That is a notable share for one category on a list that also includes French pharmacy balms, a British LED mask and a retinal serum.

The rest of LookFantastic's top 10 rounds out with Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm at number two, Silk'n's Facial LED Mask at number four with 158.9% growth, Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30 and La Roche-Posay's Anthelios UVMune 400 fluid in the middle of the list, Medik8's Crystal Retinal 3 Serum up 123.9% at number eight, and Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado closing out the list at number ten.

Both the Medicube pads and the Biodance mask are also widely stocked at K-beauty specialists including StyleKorean, YesStyle and Stylevana, so shoppers outside the UK don't have to rely on LookFantastic alone to track either one down.

If this data holds up elsewhere, it suggests the current wave of K-beauty interest isn't really about one hero ingredient anymore. It's about specific, highly shareable rituals, a pad you flip over, a mask you watch turn clear. Expect more of 2026's biggest skincare winners to be built for a screen as much as for skin.
