Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Toning Cleanser
A brightening cleanser that works while you wash. Kojic acid and turmeric go after dark spots, niacinamide evens tone, and four acids clear pores and smooth rough texture — all in the step most people treat as an afterthought. Glycerin leads the formula, with shea butter and sea buckthorn oil built in to keep the actives in check.
This is a thorough cleanse rather than a gentle one, so it suits oily and congested skin better than dry or easily irritated skin. Vegan. 20g.
- Kojic Acid — fades dark spots and evens tone during the 60 seconds you're cleansing.
- Turmeric Root Extract — antioxidant and calming, offsetting the acids working alongside it.
- Niacinamide, Sixth Ingredient — unusually high for a cleanser. Evens tone and keeps oil in check.
- Glycolic Acid (AHA) — smooths rough texture at the surface.
- Salicylic Acid (BHA) — oil-soluble, so it clears buildup from inside the pore.
- LHA — a gentler salicylate that exfoliates with less irritation.
- Gluconolactone (PHA) — exfoliates and hydrates at the same time, the mildest of the four.
- Vitamin C + Vitamin B12 — two more brightening routes layered behind the kojic acid.
- Sea Buckthorn Oil + Shea Butter — nourishing oils in a cleanser, which is what keeps four acids from being punishing.
- Panthenol + Allantoin — calm any tingling and keep skin comfortable with daily use.
⚠️ Contains Retinol in trace amounts. Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Squeeze onto damp hands and lather with water. Massage over your face for 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water. Use morning and night, or once daily if your skin is on the drier side. Follow with moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning — the acids increase sun sensitivity.
