[ Medicube ] Deep Vita C Capsule Cream 55g

RECOMMENDED FOR: Uneven, dull skin with deep dark spots, melasma, and pigmentation, sensitive skin that found high-concentration brightening creams burdensome due to vitamin C oxidation and stinging, dry and combination skin wanting to adjust the gel-to-cream ratio

PERFECT FOR: When dark spots and melasma leave your tone dull, and you want a non-irritating high-concentration vitamin C brightening cream

AM: At the final skincare step, use the included spatula to scoop the yellow vitamin capsules and clear hydrating gel to suit your skin condition, mix on the back of your hand, and spread gently to absorb. Increase the gel ratio for fresh hydration, or the capsule ratio for focused brightening and nourishment. Apply sunscreen alongside for daytime use.

PM: Use the same way in the evening as in the morning; in the evening it works as a night cream with no sunscreen needed.

A dual formula with concentrated yellow vitamin capsule beads inside a clear, bouncy, cooling hydrating gel base. Capsules burst smoothly with no clumping at body temperature, blending seamlessly with the gel and leaving a moist, glowing coating with no stickiness or pilling. A fresh, bright citrus scent.
