Key ingredients
Vitamin C
The formula contains vitamin C in various forms, including ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl glucoside, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, and other derivatives.
Vitamin C is known for its antioxidant properties and helps visibly improve complexion radiance and evenness.
Sea buckthorn extract – 50%
The Hippophae Rhamnoides Water, also referred to by Medicube as "Vitamin Tree Water," is a major ingredient in the formula.
Rich in antioxidant compounds, it helps nourish and hydrate the skin while contributing to its radiance.
Niacinamide – 5%
The niacinamide, or vitamin B3, helps improve the appearance of skin texture, visually even out the complexion, and reduce the appearance of pores and irregularities.
Alpha-arbutin
The alpha-arbutin is an active ingredient popular in skincare for skin with pigment irregularities. It helps make the complexion look visibly more even.
Ferulic acid
The ferulic acid has antioxidant properties and is used in the formula to complement the antioxidant action of vitamin C and contribute to complexion-brightening care.
Vitamin E
The vitamin E, or tocopherol, helps protect the skin against oxidative stress and contributes to maintaining supple and comfortable skin.
An innovative capsule formula
The distinctiveness of the Deep Vita C Capsule Cream lies in its texture, composed of two elements:
- A transparent gel with a lightweight texture
- Vitamin capsules that blend with the gel upon application
The ratio can be adjusted according to the skin's needs.
For a lighter texture, it is possible to use more gel. For a more nourishing feel and more hydration, the brand recommends increasing the proportion of capsules.
