Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Capsule Cream
MedicubeMade in Korea55 g
Vitamin C that is still fresh when it reaches your skin.
Golden vitamin capsules stay sealed in the jar and only break open when you press them. No slow browning, no half-wasted bottle.
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Spots and uneven tone
- Early fine lines
- Pure Vitamin C
- 5% Niacinamide
- 50% Sea buckthorn
- 0.00% irritation
Why most vitamin C goes to waste
Pure vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is the form with the most evidence behind it and the least patience. Exposed to air, light and warmth it oxidises, turns yellow then brown, and loses its power. In Indian heat that happens faster. Most people finish a bottle that stopped working weeks earlier.
-
In the jar
Sealed
The vitamin C sits inside golden capsules, away from air and light, right up to the moment of use.
-
In your hand
Released
You press the capsules into the gel and they break open. The dose is fresh, every single time.
-
On your skin
Protected
Ferulic acid plus vitamin E stabilise the vitamin C, a pairing dermatologists have relied on for years.
That is the whole point of the capsule format. It is not a gimmick, it is a shelf-life fix.
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
A vitamin capsule and a clear antioxidant gel, mixed in your hand.

Formula facts
Medicube Deep Vita C Capsule Cream
Net quantity 55 g · gel + capsules
Ingredient roles describe what each ingredient is generally used for in skincare. This is a cosmetic product, not a medicine, and it does not treat any medical condition.
Brand-reported testing
The numbers, with the caveats
-
+34.8%
skin radiance, measured immediately
-
20.1%
less visible uneven tone
-
0.00%
irritation in a low-irritation test
Radiance was still 32.6% above baseline 24 hours later, and tone evenness improved by 18.2%. Deep pigmentation of ten years or more moved by only 1.5%, so aim this at dullness and recent spots first.

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. Vitamin C and sunscreen belong together. Vitamin C mops up the damage UV causes, sunscreen stops most of it happening. SPF 50 every morning is not optional with this one.
Plays well with
- Sunscreen Every morning, without exception.
- Niacinamide Already inside this formula at 5%, so no need to layer more.
- Retinol At night, on the nights you are not using this. Keep them apart at first.
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.
Questions, answered straight
Why capsules instead of a normal vitamin C cream?
Will it sting?
Is the golden colour artificial?
Can I use it in the morning?
Does it smell of anything?
How is it different from the TXA cream?
Will it clear my old pigmentation?
How long does one jar last?
