Medicube - Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Capsule Foam Cleanser

Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Capsule Foam Cleanser is a creamy daily facial cleanser designed to remove excess sebum, makeup residue and impurities while supporting brighter, smoother and more even-looking skin. The formula combines Niacinamide, Turmeric Root Extract, Salicylic Acid, Retinol, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Sodium Hyaluronate and soothing botanical extracts to provide cleansing, pore care and radiance-focused benefits in one step.

A: Yes. Niacinamide and antioxidant ingredients can help improve the appearance of uneven-looking tone with consistent use.

A: Yes. Salicylic Acid is clearly listed.

Q: Is Salicylic Acid a BHA?
A: Yes. Salicylic Acid is an oil-soluble BHA commonly used for pore and excess-sebum care.

Q: Can it help clogged pores?
A: Yes. The surfactant system and Salicylic Acid help remove oil and surface buildup from congested-looking areas.

Q: Can it permanently shrink pores?
A: No. Keeping pores cleaner can make them appear less noticeable, but their anatomical size cannot be permanently reduced by a cleanser.

Q: Does it contain Retinol?
A: Yes. Retinol is clearly listed in the supplied INCI.

Q: Why is Retinol included in a cleanser?
A: It provides additional texture- and radiance-focused cosmetic support, although its contact time is shorter than in a leave-on retinoid product.

Q: Is the Retinol as strong as a Retinol serum?
A: No. This is a rinse-off cleanser, so Retinol has much shorter skin contact than a leave-on serum or cream.

Q: Do I need sunscreen while using this cleanser?
A: Yes. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended, especially because the formula contains Retinol and Salicylic Acid.

Q: Can I use it during pregnancy?
A: Because Retinol is listed, this cleanser is best avoided during pregnancy. If breastfeeding, discuss retinoid use with your doctor.

Q: Can I use it with a Retinol serum?
A: It may be possible, but using multiple retinoid-containing products can increase dryness or irritation. Sensitive users may prefer alternating products or choosing a non-retinoid cleanser on Retinol nights.

Q: Can I use it with Retinal?
A: Yes only if your skin tolerates the routine well, but alternating may be preferable because the cleanser already contains Retinol.

Q: Can I use it with AHA or BHA products?
A: Yes, but the cleanser already contains Salicylic Acid. Reduce additional exfoliation if dryness, burning or irritation develops.

Q: Can I use it with Vitamin C serum?
A: Yes. The cleanser already contains Ascorbic Acid, but a compatible leave-on Vitamin C serum can still be used afterward if tolerated.

Q: Does it exfoliate the skin?
A: Yes, primarily through Salicylic Acid, although the rinse-off format provides milder exfoliating contact than a leave-on acid treatment.

Q: Is Citric Acid an exfoliating AHA in this formula?
A: Citric Acid is chemically an AHA, but in cleansers it may also function primarily as a pH-adjusting ingredient.

Q: Does it contain Hyaluronic Acid?
A: Yes. Sodium Hyaluronate is clearly listed.

Q: What does Sodium Hyaluronate do?
A: It helps attract and retain moisture at the skin surface to support a softer, more hydrated feel.

A: Yes. Beta-Glucan is included for hydrating and soothing skin-conditioning support.

A: Yes. Allantoin helps soothe and condition the skin.
