Overview
Medicube markets this on niacinamide, and you use it as a targeted treatment step. Its 3.8 out of 5 rating is more mixed, so read the reviews before buying. Its Amazon listing does not flag strong actives, which is a filter on listing text rather than a safety assessment.
The summary above follows how Medicube markets this product. We also read the
published ingredient list line by line, and it tells a different story:
what the ingredient order actually says.
Pros
- Marketed around niacinamide, a genuinely on-trend active

What buyers actually say
We read a sample of the Amazon reviews for this product and describe the pattern in our own words. It is a sample, not a survey of all 126 ratings, and we do not reproduce customer reviews.
This is the most divided product in the group and the sample reflects it: half the ratings are five stars, but roughly a fifth sit at one or two. Almost all the discussion is about scent rather than skincare. Several reviewers compare it to a well-known Brazilian body mist and either love the warm gourmand vanilla or find it overwhelming within two sprays. Longevity is the second fault line, with some enjoying the soft dry-down and others saying it fades quickly or reads alcoholic on first spritz. Two reviewers noticed no actual hair or skin benefit.
Praised for
- Warm, sweet vanilla scent that several reviewers rate highly
- Softer, more wearable dry-down after the opening spray
- No skin irritation reported by sample reviewers
- Considered good value, especially on sale
Criticized for
- Too strong or cloying for reviewers wanting a light all-over mist
- Short wear time, with some saying the scent fades fast
- Noticeable alcohol note on application for some
- No perceived hair or skin benefit beyond fragrance
How the ratings break down
Amazon's own star distribution for this product, read on 2026-09-30. We show the one-star share too, because an average alone hides it.
5 star 50%
4 star 13%
3 star 20%
2 star 7%
1 star 10%
17% of these ratings are one or two stars. That is well above the 6% median for the Medicube range. This is one of the more divisive products in the catalogue: most people like it, but a meaningful minority does not, and the average hides that.
We cannot tell you what those reviewers said. Amazon.com now requires an
account to open the full review list, so the critical reviews are not readable from a public
page. We would rather say that than guess.
What is niacinamide?
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps with uneven tone, visible pores and oil control, and is well tolerated by most skin types.
