MEDICUBE Deep Vita C Pad

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-01

What is this product?

MEDICUBE Deep Vita C Pad is a 150 g, 70 sheet wipe-on toner pad from a Korean brand, sold on the brand's own shop with a functional-cosmetic mark whose kind is not stated. The printed list has 48 names that open with a vitamin tree water entry at 500,000ppm, then water, glycols and niacinamide at 5th, with a vitamin C derivative at 1,000ppm in 11th position. Four entries end in an acid name (vitamin C derivative, lactic, hyaluronic and citric), and gluconolactone sits 10th. No fragrance entry appears, but three essential-oil entries and three allergen-named entries are printed. The brand's detail images cite small 4-week figures and a weakly acidic pH label.

What makes it different?

A wipe-on pad whose list prints two amounts (vitamin tree water at 500,000ppm and a vitamin C derivative at 1,000ppm) and pairs them with niacinamide and three acid-class names, while the effect figures in the brand's images carry no panel or method. It prints no fragrance entry yet lists three essential oils and three allergen-named entries.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 3 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredientWorth a closer look

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
