Category: Serum & Ampoule

Brand: MEDICUBE

A targeted evening serum featuring Medicube’s 4th-generation retinoid system for refined skin texture and improved clarity.

Formulated with encapsulated retinol, retinal, and bakuchiol, it supports smoother, brighter, and more even-looking skin with reduced irritation.

Niacinamide, hydrolysed collagen, Centella, and ceramides help maintain comfort during retinoid use, creating a balanced treatment suitable for most skin types.

Multi-layered retinoid complex (retinol, retinal, HPR, and retinyl derivatives) for a gradual, comfortable effect.
Bakuchiol complements retinoids for texture refinement and enhanced radiance.
Niacinamide and Centella deliver soothing support for sensitive or reactive skin.
Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture for a non-greasy, breathable finish.
Curated pick: An advanced yet gentle retinol option for users upgrading from beginner-level formulas.

Encapsulated Retinol + Retinal – Promote smoother texture and a more refined appearance.
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) – Provides an additional retinoid pathway with a comfortable feel.
Bakuchiol – Helps brighten and support clarity while keeping skin at ease.
Niacinamide – Helps even tone and soften visible discolouration.
Hydrolysed Collagen & Centella Extracts – Support comfort, resilience, and a cushioned skin feel.

After cleansing, apply a pea-sized amount to the desired area.
Allow the serum to absorb fully before moving to the next step.
Begin with 2–3 nights per week and increase as skin adjusts.

4. Evening use only; pair with SPF during the day.

Skin Types: Normal, Dry, Combination, Oily, Sensitive (dermatologist-tested)

Concerns: Fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, dullness, pigmentation, redness, dryness, weakened barrier.

Pairs well with: Niacinamide, peptides, Centella extracts, panthenol, ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, and light hydrating essences. These support comfort while the retinoids encourage renewal. Bakuchiol in the formula adds additional synergy by enhancing smoothing without increasing irritation.
Compatible with: Vitamin C derivatives (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Glucoside, MAP), tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin, green tea, PDRN, and gentle PHA toners. Suitable for normal, combination, or resilient skin aiming to brighten and refine texture.
Avoid using with: Medium–high strength exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA peels) in the same session to prevent overstimulation. Sensitive skin may also separate pure Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) if it causes stinging — this is for comfort, not due to a chemical conflict.
Layering tip: If your routine includes exfoliants or pure Vitamin C, alternate sessions or separate by days as tolerated. Add hydrating layers before or after to buffer the retinoids for smoother, calmer use.
Pro Tip: A retinoid system combining retinal, encapsulated retinol, HPR, and retinyl esters with Bakuchiol provides broad-spectrum anti-ageing benefits with a gentler feel. Pair with soothing actives and low-strength PHA (in opposite sessions) to maintain clarity while minimising irritation.
