Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Niacinamide Serum

The breakout went away before winter. The small brown mark it left behind did not, and foundation covers it every morning without ever making you forget it is there.

The dropper holds 30 ml of thin serum, and it belongs between your toner and your cream, on skin that is still a little damp.

• Old marks lightened where they sit: kojic acid and turmeric root extract go to the places where pigment has piled up. Turmeric takes sixth place on the list, kojic acid the ninth, close enough together to pull in one direction. The memory of the breakout fades before the skin does.
• One tone across the whole face: niacinamide comes second, straight after water. At that rank it works the full face rather than one dot, so a red cheek and a dull jaw end up meeting somewhere in the middle.
• Indian herbs behind the actives: neem flower and neem leaf, holy basil, ivy gourd and false daisy sit in the middle of the list. They back up the evening-out work, and the faint woody smell of the bottle comes from hinoki wood oil rather than from any added perfume.
• Nothing in it to sting: no Parfum on the list and no denatured alcohol either. Jojoba esters let the serum slide without leaving a film, so makeup goes over it and stays put.

Squalane, panthenol, thioctic acid and a trace of glycolic acid finish the list, and the texture goes matte within a minute of the last tap.

Recommended for marks left by old breakouts, uneven tone, combination and oily skin, visible pores, and routines with no room for a product that sits wet on the face.

Step 4 · Toner

in the evening, once the toner has sunk in, with the skin still slightly damp.

• Three drops into the palm, no more.
• Spread them flat across the face without rubbing.
• Tap with the fingertips until nothing shiny is left.
• Give it a minute, then put your cream over the top.

Three drops an evening empties the dropper in roughly ten weeks. Morning use calls for sunscreen afterwards, because sun puts back exactly the pigment this serum has been lifting. On a face that feels tight after washing, the Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Capsule Cream closes the evening with something richer on top.
