What a Medicube label actually says

Where the ingredient on the front of the box really sits on the back, read from the published lists rather than the marketing.

On the label · hyaluronic acid

medicube Jelly Cream with Hyaluronic Acid

The product is sold as a hyaluronic acid and ceramide cream. On the published list, niacinamide sits fifth, and the first four slots are water and humectants: butylene glycol, glycerin and propanediol. That base is the engine of this product.

On the label · vitamin C

medicube Capsule Cream with Deep Vitamin C

It is sold as a vitamin C moisturizer. On the published list the vitamin C derivative sits 43rd of 60, while niacinamide sits fourth.

On the label · salmon DNA PDRN

medicube Capsule Cream with Salmon DNA PDRN

It is sold as a PDRN and collagen cream, but the working part of the formula is at the top: niacinamide sits third, straight after water and glycerin. That is a genuinely strong position for the range's favorite brightening active.

On the label · turmeric

medicube Capsule Cream with Kojic Acid

The front label leans on kojic acid, turmeric and vitamin C. Turmeric is on the list under its Latin name, Curcuma Longa, at 17th of 55.

On the label · collagen

medicube Wrapping Mask Collagen Overnight Peel Off

For once the name ingredient tops the list: collagen water sits second of 52. The concentrated hydrolyzed form is another matter, waiting at 44th.
