TXA Niacinamide Capsule Cream is a two-part moisturiser in a 55g jar. Red capsules containing tranexamic acid (TXA) sit in a red gel, and the capsules melt as you massage the two together. Medicube lists it for combination, dry, oily and sensitive skin, and for dark spots, uneven tone and marks left after breakouts.

Key ingredients

• Tranexamic acid (TXA): Medicube includes it for uneven-looking tone and dark spots but does not publish the percentage.
• Niacinamide (5%): a form of vitamin B3, listed at 50,000 ppm and third on the ingredient list.
• Alpha-arbutin and glutathione: the other two key ingredients Medicube names.
• Ceramide NP and hyaluronic acid: Medicube names these for hydration. The formula also contains panthenol.

How to use

• Apply after serum, morning and evening, to the face and neck.
• Oily skin: mix about half a capsule into each scoop of gel.
• Dry skin: use one capsule for each scoop of gel.
• Combination skin: use gel on oily areas and capsules on dry areas.
• More gel gives a lighter feel; more capsule gives more moisture.
• Massage until the capsules have melted and the cream has absorbed. Wear sunscreen during the day.

Good to know

• Size: 55g jar.
• Medicube reports that human application testing rated the cream low-irritating, with a score of 0.00%. Results vary.
• No added fragrance is listed, but the formula contains lemongrass and anise oils.
