Product details

An open amber jar of Deep Vita C Capsule Cream heaped with golden capsules on a warm gold table between sea buckthorn berries and golden beads

Brighten + even tone

Golden vitamin C capsules suspended in a clear gel, made to pop and blend on skin.

Medicube calls it a “vitamin golden boba cream”. Unstable vitamin C is sealed inside liposome capsules so it stays fresh until it reaches the skin, while the clear gel around them carries vitamins E, Q and P, ferulic acid and alpha-arbutin. Together they target the look of dark spots, blemish marks and wrinkles.
