Medicube TXA Niacinamide Capsule Cream 55g

K-beauty has produced plenty of interesting textures over the years, but few are as satisfying as capsules that pop and burst the moment you massage them into your skin. That’s exactly the experience behind the Medicube TXA Niacinamide Capsule Cream – 55g, a soft gel cream loaded with tiny red capsules that release their concentrated ingredients right into your skin.

This cream pairs high-purity Tranexamic Acid (TXA) with niacinamide, alpha-arbutin, and glutathione, making it one of the standout formulas from Medicube for evening out skin tone. You can also browse the rest of our Korean skincare products to round out your routine.
