This moisturiser comes in two parts: yellow capsules held in an orange gel. More gel gives a lighter layer and more capsules a richer one. Medicube lists it for dark spots, dullness and uneven tone, and for combination, dry, oily and sensitive skin.

Key ingredients

• Kojic acid: Medicube includes it for the look of marks and uneven patches.
• Turmeric root extract: Medicube adds it to calm skin that looks stressed and to reduce visible irritation.
• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid): for dullness and tone clarity, according to Medicube.
• Niacinamide (5%): vitamin B3. The 5% is printed on the jar.
• Eight forms of hyaluronic acid, ceramide NP and peptides: further down the ingredient list.

How to use

• Use it as the final skincare step, before sunscreen in the morning.
• Take some gel and one or two capsules, then mix them on the back of your hand.
• For oily skin, Medicube suggests one scoop of gel to half a capsule. For dry skin, use one scoop of gel to one capsule.
• For combination skin, put the gel on oily areas and the capsules on dry areas.
• Smooth it gently over the face.

Good to know

• 53g jar.
