The hero ingredient is kojic acid and turmeric, and you use it as a prep or toning step. With a strong 4.5 out of 5 from 4k ratings, it is a well-liked pick. It uses active ingredients, so patch test first and introduce it slowly if your skin is reactive.

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.

How the ratings break down

Amazon's own star distribution for this product, read on 2026-10-28. We show the one-star share too, because an average alone hides it.

6% of these ratings are one or two stars. That is about typical for the Medicube range, where the median is 6%.

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 kojic acid and turmeric?

Kojic acid is a brightening agent that targets dark spots and uneven tone, often paired with turmeric extract for an added clarifying effect.

What we can and cannot tell you about these pads

• Medicube does publish a list for these pads, but we cannot read an order from it. It names Water six times and 1,2-Hexanediol four times, the pattern you get when the components of raw-material blends are written out one by one. A list like that tells you what is in the pad, not how much.
• What the list does settle is presence. Glycolic acid, niacinamide, turmeric root extract, kojic acid, salicylic acid and ascorbic acid are all named, so the kojic acid and turmeric on the front, and the glycolic acid in the listing, are real ingredients rather than marketing words.
• The listing pitches the pads for face and body, shoulders and upper back included, and for use after spot care. Glycolic acid is the ingredient in that line-up that makes skin more sun-sensitive, so a morning sunscreen belongs with these pads.
• A run of hyaluronic entries closes the list, and no fragrance is named on it.

Our read

A glycolic, kojic and turmeric pad whose ingredients are confirmed but whose proportions are not. As a face and body pad for uneven-looking tone, with sunscreen the next morning, it is a reasonable buy. If you need to know how strong the glycolic acid is, the published list cannot tell you, and neither can we.

Who should skip this

• You want to know the acid strength before you buy. The published list cannot be read for order or dose.
• Your skin reacts to glycolic acid. It is named on the list, and a pad spreads it over a wide area.
• You will not wear sunscreen the next day. Glycolic acid is a reason to.
