A multi-pathway brightening gel-cream from Medicube — one of the most ingredient-dense brightening creams available at this price. Combines five separate brightening mechanisms with 8-type HA, peptides, and Retinol in a lightweight gel-cream texture. Fragrance-free. PM use recommended due to Retinol. 53g.

• Niacinamide 5% (50,000ppm) — Melanin Transfer Blocker — a high concentration that inhibits the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to skin cells. Fades dark spots, minimizes pores, controls sebum, and strengthens the barrier.
• Kojic Acid — Tyrosinase Inhibitor — directly inhibits tyrosinase at the melanin production stage — a separate brightening mechanism from Niacinamide. Fades existing spots while preventing new ones from forming.
• Alpha-Arbutin — Gentle Tyrosinase Inhibitor — a stable, non-irritating form of arbutin that inhibits tyrosinase at a different point from Kojic Acid for additive brightening without irritation.
• Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) Root Extract — Antioxidant Brightening — rich in curcumin, one of the most studied natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. Targets UV-induced dullness and oxidative pigmentation while calming redness.
• 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Stable Vitamin C) + Ferulic Acid — Brighten + Stabilize — 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is an oil-soluble, highly stable Vitamin C derivative that brightens and supports collagen production without oxidizing quickly. Ferulic Acid stabilizes the Vitamin C and doubles its antioxidant efficacy.
• 8-Type Hyaluronic Acid — Multi-Depth Hydration — Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hyaluronate, and Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate — eight forms for comprehensive layered hydration.
• Ceramide NP — Barrier Lipid Rebuild — replenishes the skin's lipid barrier depleted by brightening active use. Seals in moisture and reduces sensitivity.
• Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) + Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 + Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 — Peptide Firming Complex — GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 targets expression lines. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 firms and reduces fine lines.
• Retinol — Anti-Aging + Cell Renewal — accelerates cell turnover and refines texture. PM use recommended. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Caffeine + Adenosine — De-Puff + Firm — Caffeine supports microcirculation. Adenosine firms and reduces fine lines (Korean FDA anti-wrinkle functional).

⚠️ Contains Retinol. Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. PM use recommended. Follow with SPF in the morning.

Apply a moderate amount as the last step of your evening skincare routine. Pat gently until absorbed. Fragrance-free. 53g.
