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.

5% 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 niacinamide?

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps with uneven tone, visible pores and oil control, and is well tolerated by most skin types.

What the ingredient order actually tells you

• The name counts ten peptides and the list delivers ten, which is how we know this list is the right one. They are also all at the back: from acetyl dipeptide-1 at 41st to hexapeptide-11 closing the list at 60th. Copper tripeptide sits 56th.
• The acids are the real product. Lactic acid sits 9th, gluconolactone 11th and salicylic acid 12th, with glycolic acid 23rd and a second salicylate at 27th. Four acid families, three of them inside the top twelve.
• Niacinamide sits 5th, adenosine 20th and dimethicone 10th for slip. That upper section is a pore and oil product, not a firming one.
• So the name sells peptides and the order sells exfoliation. Neither is dishonest, but they point at different shoppers, and the one the order serves is the oily, congested, texture-focused one.

Our read

A well-built exfoliating serum wearing a peptide name. Three acid families sit inside the top twelve and the ten peptides sit in the last twenty, so read this as a pore and texture treatment with a firming garnish. On oily or congested skin that is a good thing to be. If you came for the peptides, you are paying for a tail.

Who should skip this

• You came for the peptides. All ten sit in the last twenty entries of 60.
• Your skin is dry, sensitized or on a retinoid. Four acid families in one serum is a lot to layer.
• You want one gentle daily step. This is a treatment, not a base layer.

A note on how we read that list. Ingredient lists run in descending order of concentration, but only for ingredients above 1%. Below that, the order is up to the manufacturer, so a low position tells you something is present at a low level, not exactly how much. We do not guess at percentages. FDA labeling guide.
