Medicube, TXA Niacinamide Capsule Cream, (55 g)

What it is

A customizable “capsule + gel” moisturizer where you mix pink capsules with red gel before applying, positioned to refine uneven tone/texture and support a clearer, more radiant look.

What it does

• Helps improve the look of uneven tone + texture and supports radiance (brand positioning).

• Marketed for dark spots, acne scars/blemishes, and pores (brand positioning).

• Claims low-irritating (0.00%) in human application testing and “suitable for acne-prone + sensitive skin” (brand/iHerb stated).

Key ingredients (highlights)

• Niacinamide (50,000 ppm / 5%): positioned for tone/blemish support + barrier comfort.

• Tranexamic Acid (TXA): used in skincare for pigmentation concerns; topical TXA has evidence in hyperpigmentation contexts (evolving evidence base).

• Alpha-Arbutin + Glutathione + 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: brightening/antioxidant-supporting actives (ingredient-led positioning).

• Ceramide NP + Panthenol + multi-Hyaluronic complex: barrier + hydration support.

Tested / clinical claims (brand-stated)

• After single use: skin radiance +46%, hydration +41%, tone balance +5.4% (brand-stated; results may vary).

• Low-irritating (0.00%) in human application testing (brand/iHerb stated).

How to use

• Mix the capsules + gel on the back of your hand, then apply.

  • For a lighter feel: increase gel ratio.

  • For more moisturization/elastic-feel: increase capsule ratio.

• Brand directions allow AM/PM use (apply after serum; face + neck).

• If you’re using this for discoloration goals, daily sunscreen is non-negotiable. (General best practice with tone-targeting routines.)
