medicube Red Succinic Acid Serum 30ml

Some serums cleanse. Others actually understand acne-prone skin on its own terms — the excess sebum, the clogged pores, the marks that linger long after a breakout. medicube's Red Succinic Acid Serum belongs to the second kind: a formula designed to work on several fronts at once, without disrupting what's already working well.

Texture and ingredients — Succinic Acid is at the heart of the formula: this exfoliating acid gently targets what's clogging your pores — blackheads, whiteheads, excess sebum. Niacinamide works alongside it to fade post-acne pigmentation. Salicylic Acid extends the exfoliating action deeper into the skin. Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine support the skin barrier throughout this process, while Allantoin and Beta-Glucan bring a soothing quality to a formula that could easily have stopped at purifying. Squalane, derived from plants, prevents the drying effect so often associated with anti-blemish serums. All of this in a 30 ml lightweight serum texture, designed to absorb cleanly with no residue.

How to use it — After your cleanser and toner, two pumps are enough to cover your whole face. Pat it in gently rather than rubbing, so the ingredients can settle in properly. The serum works equally well morning and night — in the morning, follow with SPF to make sure the acids can do their job unhindered. Used consistently, once or twice a day, you'll start to see a real difference in your skin over time.
