Medicube Deep Vita C Capsule Cream 55 g

A two-part cream from Medicube: vitamin C capsules suspended in a clear gel. You mix the two in the ratio that suits your skin: more gel for a lighter feel, more capsules for more moisture and elasticity. The base is 50% sea buckthorn water with 5% niacinamide, plus pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in liposome capsules and several vitamin C derivatives, aimed at dullness, uneven tone and the look of fine lines.

Cautions

For external use only. Avoid the eyes. Stop using it if irritation occurs. Contains fragrance. Patch test first if your skin is sensitive to vitamin C. Close tightly and store away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Questions

Won't the vitamin C oxidize?
Medicube says the vitamin C is held in stabilized liposome capsules, designed to avoid the oxidation problems common in vitamin C skincare. Keeping the jar closed and away from heat and sun still helps.

Does it contain fragrance?
Yes. Medicube's page lists fragrance among excluded ingredients, but its own ingredient list includes "Fragrance", so treat it as a fragranced product.

How is it different from the PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream?
Same capsule-in-gel format. The PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream focuses on PDRN and collagen for bounce, while Deep Vita C focuses on vitamin C and niacinamide for brightness.

How long does delivery take in Egypt?
Delivery takes 3–7 business days, depending on your area.

Pairs well with: the Medicube TXA Niacinamide 15 Serum before it and the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun in the morning. More options in our Moisturizers collection and Dark Spots & Dullness.
