Medicube's capsule cream concept made visible: a red gel base packed with tiny red TXA capsules that you pop and mix in your palm before applying. Squeeze 1–3 capsules into the gel, blend until dissolved, then apply.

More gel means a lighter, refreshing feel — more capsules means deeper hydration and brightening intensity. The TXA in the capsules is 99% pure tranexamic acid, delivered in a burst-release format that keeps it stable and potent until the moment of use. Clinical testing confirmed 0.00% irritation across human application testing. Has a light lemongrass scent. 55g.

• TXA (Tranexamic Acid) 99% Purity — Capsule-Delivered — tranexamic acid is a synthetic amino acid derivative originally used in medicine to control bleeding; in skincare it inhibits the interaction between keratinocytes and melanocytes that triggers excess melanin production — effectively interrupting the signaling pathway that creates dark spots, post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation at the source; 99% purity means minimal inactive material diluting the active; the capsule format isolates TXA from the gel base to prevent premature breakdown, releasing it at maximum potency when you pop and mix just before application
• Niacinamide 50,000ppm (5%) — In the Gel Base — niacinamide at 5% works synergistically with TXA; while TXA prevents new melanin transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes, niacinamide inhibits the transfer of melanosomes (melanin-containing vesicles) that are already formed — the two actives target different points in the same pigmentation pathway for greater combined effect; at 50,000ppm (5%) niacinamide also brightens dull skin, controls sebum, strengthens barrier and reduces pore appearance
• Alpha-Arbutin + Glutathione — Brightening Support Layer — alpha-arbutin is a stable, plant-derived glycoside that inhibits tyrosinase (the enzyme that produces melanin) without the skin-lightening risks of older arbutin forms; glutathione is the body's master antioxidant — topically it scavenges free radicals that drive oxidative stress-triggered pigmentation, and it also shifts melanin production from dark eumelanin toward lighter phaeomelanin; together with TXA and niacinamide they create a four-angle brightening approach
• 5 Types of Hyaluronic Acid + Okra Fruit Extract + Hydrolyzed Sclerotium Gum — comprehensive hydration matrix alongside the brightening actives; hydrolyzed HA, sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, and hyaluronic acid cover all molecular weights for surface-to-deep hydration; okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus) is naturally rich in polysaccharide mucilage that provides a soothing, film-forming hydration; hydrolyzed sclerotium gum is a fermented mycelium beta-glucan with exceptional moisture-binding capacity
• Ferulic Acid + Bisabolol + Cyanocobalamin (B12) + Fruit Extract Complex — ferulic acid is a plant phenolic antioxidant that enhances the stability and efficacy of other antioxidants, particularly vitamin C derivatives; bisabolol (from chamomile) soothes and supports barrier recovery; cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) gives the formula its signature red color and contributes cell-repair support; strawberry, chestnut shell, yuzu peel and birch bark extracts provide a complementary brightening antioxidant complex

After toner and serum step, place a small amount of gel on the back of your hand and add 1–3 red capsules. Mix until fully dissolved. Apply evenly over face and neck. Use morning and evening. For sensitive skin, start every other day. The more capsules you use, the more intense the hydration and brightening — adjust daily based on skin needs. 55g.
