Which is better for oily, sensitive skin?

Cetaphil DermaControl is the safer pick. It is unscented, hypoallergenic and built around zinc oil control. Medicube suits oily skin too but its fragrance status is unclear.

Which one lasts longer?

Cetaphil, on size alone. It gives 8 oz against Medicube's 4.23 oz, so it lasts roughly twice as long at the same daily use.

Does Medicube help with blackheads?

It is marketed for that. The pore-minimizing complex and dense foam are aimed at blackheads and rough texture. Cetaphil makes no blackhead claim.

Is the Medicube cleanser worth it over Cetaphil?

Only if you want exfoliation and pore focus. If you mainly want gentle oil control without fragrance, Cetaphil does that for less per ounce.

Can I use either one twice a day?

Cetaphil is designed for daily use, including sensitive skin. Medicube is a deep cleanser; twice daily may be drying for some, so start once a day.

Cetaphil DermaControl Foam Wash vs Medicube Zero Foam Cleanser

Buy the Cetaphil DermaControl if you have sensitive, oily skin and want a pH-balanced, fragrance-free cleanser with zinc to cut shine. Buy the Medicube Zero Foam if you want a denser Korean foam cleanser aimed at pores, blackheads and micro-dust, and you don't mind fragrance. Cetaphil's 8 oz size gives more product per tube than Medicube's 120 g (4.23 oz).
