MedicubeMade in Korea55 g
Acne gone. Marks stayed?
Red capsules of tranexamic acid pop into a 5% niacinamide gel. Built for the marks a breakout leaves behind, not the breakout itself.
- Acne marks
- Dark spots
- Uneven tone
- Tranexamic acid
- 5% Niacinamide
- Alpha-arbutin
- 0.00% irritation
Why the mark outlives the pimple
On Indian skin, a breakout is rarely the end of the story. Inflammation, sun and picking all tell your pigment cells to work harder, so the mark can sit there for months after the spot has gone. A regular moisturiser never touches that part of the process.
-
Where it starts
Trigger
A breakout, the afternoon sun, friction from a mask or a phone screen.
-
Red capsules
Signal
Skin sends a make-more-pigment message to the pigment cells. Tranexamic acid is there to help quiet that signal.
-
The gel
Surface
Pigment gets handed up to the top layer and shows as a mark. 5% niacinamide helps interrupt that hand-off.
And the part most creams skip: dry, irritated skin keeps restarting the cycle. Eight forms of hyaluronic acid and ceramide NP keep the barrier calm while the actives do their work.
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
Tone care in the capsules, barrier care in the gel.
Botanicals you will recognize
Neem flower and leaf · Okra (bhindi) fruit · Kundru (ivy gourd) fruit

Formula facts
Medicube TXA Niacinamide 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
-
+46%
skin radiance after a single use
-
+41%
skin hydration after a single use
-
0.00%
irritation in a human application test
The number we will not hide: skin tone evened out by 5.4% after one use. Hydration shows up overnight, but marks fade on your skin's own renewal cycle, roughly every 4 to 6 weeks. Give it 8 weeks before you judge it.
Clinical test by the Global Institute of Dermatological Sciences and a human application test by Cutis Biomedical Research Center, both 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. Every unprotected hour in the sun tells your skin to make more pigment. No cream can outrun that, so SPF 50 every morning is part of the routine, not an extra.
Plays well with
- Vitamin C serum In the morning, under this cream.
- Retinol At night, on alternate nights.
- AHA or BHA Two or three nights a week. Not the same night for the first two weeks if you are sensitive.
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.
