Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Niacinamide Serum

Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Niacinamide Serum is a clinically tested, dermatologist-approved Korean brightening serum formulated with a targeted triple-threat blend of Kojic Acid, Turmeric Root Extract (1% / 10,600ppm), and Niacinamide 5% (50,000ppm) — encapsulated in innovative snowflake-like micro-capsules that release Squalane and Thioctic Acid on contact — to fade dark spots, even out skin tone, soothe stressed skin, and restore a visibly clearer, more radiant, and healthier-looking complexion.
