Hyaluronic Acid Capsule Cream
MedicubeMade in Korea55 g
Water in. Water locked in.
Blue hyaluronic capsules melt into a cooling gel. Mix your own ratio, and dehydrated skin stays plump long after you have washed your face.
- Dehydrated skin
- Tightness after cleansing
- A stressed barrier
- Ultra-low molecular HA
- Ceramide NP
- Cooling gel
- Non-comedogenic
Oily skin can be thirsty skin
Air conditioning, hot water, harsh cleansers and city pollution pull water out of the top layer of skin faster than it gets replaced. Skin reads that as an emergency and often makes more oil to compensate. That is how you end up shiny and tight at the same time.
-
Blue capsules
Water in
Ultra-low molecular hyaluronic acid is small enough to sink past the surface instead of sitting on top of it.
-
The gel
Water held
Ceramide NP, squalane and jojoba rebuild the barrier that is supposed to stop water escaping.
-
Soothing layer
Skin calmed
Panthenol, betaine, allantoin, tulsi and aloe take the heat out of redness and irritation.
That is why it suits oily skin as much as dry skin. It solves the water problem without adding weight.
Mix it your way
Your skin, your ratio
Scoop the gel first, then the capsules, and press them together on the back of your hand until they melt in. More gel feels lighter. More capsule feels richer. Start here and adjust.
-
Oily or humid weather
Gel 1 : Capsule ½
Stays weightless when it is hot and sticky.
-
Dry, or in AC and winter
Gel 1 : Capsule 1
A richer cushion when the air pulls water out.
-
Combination
Gel on the T-zone
Plain gel where you are oily, the mix on your cheeks.
Based on Medicube's own ratio guide. Whatever you mix, apply it morning and night to face and neck, after your serum.
Nothing hidden in the jar
The capsules carry the hydration. The gel carries the barrier and calming care.

The gel also gives an immediate cooling effect on the skin surface, measured in the same test. In Delhi summer that alone is worth something.
Clinical trial tested by the Global Institute of Dermatological Sciences, reported by Medicube. Results vary from person to person.
Your 60-second routine
-
Prep
Cleanse and tone. If you use a serum, it goes on first.
-
Scoop
Gel first, then capsules, using the spatula. Follow your ratio from above.
-
Pop and mix
Press the capsules into the gel on the back of your hand until they melt in.
-
Pat on
Face and neck, morning and night. Give it a minute to sink in.
Mornings end with SPF 50. Hydrated skin still burns. Finish every morning routine with SPF 50.
Plays well with
- Vitamin C serum In the morning, under this cream.
- Retinol At night. This cushions the dryness retinol can cause.
- Exfoliating acids Two or three nights a week, once the acid has absorbed.
Fakes are everywhere
Check your jar in 30 seconds
Viral Korean skincare is one of the most copied categories online. These four checks work on any jar, including the one we send you.
-
1Indian importer sticker
A legally imported jar carries the importer's name and address, the MRP, net quantity and a customer-care contact. No sticker, no deal.
-
2Batch code that matches
The batch or lot code and expiry printed on the jar should match the ones on the carton.
-
3Seal and capsules
Inner seal unbroken. The capsules should be soft and melt fully into the gel as you mix them.
-
4A price that makes sense
Imported skincare cannot sell far below its landed cost. If the discount looks unreal, the product often is too.
