Medicube TXA Niacinamide Capsule Cream

One patch on each cheekbone, in the same place, back again every summer. A mark that has not shifted after a year of vitamin C. Pigment arrives by more than one road, and the molecule in this pot takes the road the others leave alone.

A 55 g pot of pale gel with beads suspended through it, closing the evening, face and throat in one pass.

• Pigment stopped higher up the line: tranexamic acid works on the signal that tells skin to make pigment at all, rather than on the pigment already made. That is why it answers patches which actives applied at the surface leave exactly where they were.
• Held at 99% purity until you break it: the acid travels inside the beads, out of contact with the water around them. Roll one under a fingertip and it gives, and what reaches the face is full-strength material, not something that has sat in solution since the factory.
• The tone pulled level across the whole face: niacinamide is third on the list, at 5%, and it slows pigment already made from surfacing. The patch loses its hard edge and the face stops looking patterned.
• Four more hands on the same job: alpha-arbutin, glutathione, ferulic acid and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid sit lower down and come at the same problem from four other angles.
• Comfort kept through a long course: Ceramide NP, panthenol, bisabolol and seven forms of hyaluronic acid stand against the dryness that usually turns up around month two.

The faint pink of the gel is not a dye. Cyanocobalamin, the red form of vitamin B12, sits in the middle of the formula, and the shade comes with it.

Recommended for settled brown patches, the symmetrical kind across the cheekbones, marks left by old blemishes, and normal to combination skin, breakout-prone included.

Step 9 · Moisturizer

once a day, in the evening, as the last thing that goes on.

• Lift a fingertip of gel with two or three beads caught in it.
• Roll the beads against your palm until none of them is left whole.
• Work the cream up the face, from the jaw towards the temples.
• Take what is left down the throat, and leave the eye contour out of it.

One pot covers roughly sixty evenings. Nothing on pigment reads before the eighth to twelfth week, and every morning after wants sun protection, which is where most courses come apart. Star anise and lemongrass oils give the cream its faint scent; if you keep essential oils off your face, the Hyaluronic Ceramide Jelly Cream brings the same comfort with none of them on its list.
