MEDICUBE TXA Niacinamide Capsule Cream 55g | Sleepy Hello

Key Ingredients

An ivory abstract form with soft, flowing folds rests on a dusty rose seamless surface, casting a gentle studio shadow.

Tranexamic Acid

May gradually improve the look of uneven tone in some leave-on formulas; the evidence is formula-specific and sun protection still matters.

Fine dry pressed striations with soft amber, celadon, lavender and coral tones fade into a warm ivory matte surface.

Glutathione

A reduced tripeptide used as a cosmetic reducing agent. Small topical studies test specific concentrations and complete regimens—not every formula that lists GLUTATHIONE.

Clear hydrogel spheres and droplets on a pale lilac background.

Hyaluronic Acid

Helps hydrate and visibly plump the skin.

Frequently asked questions

What does MEDICUBE TXA Niacinamide Capsule Cream do?

It combines a customizable moisturizer texture with ingredients commonly used for uneven-looking tone, dullness, post-breakout marks, and hydration. MEDICUBE publishes single-use testing for radiance, moisture, and tone balance, while changes in the look of individual dark marks are better understood as a gradual routine goal. It is a moisturizer, not an exfoliating peel.

How should I mix the capsules and gel?

Scoop out a small amount of gel with a capsule, crush the capsule, and blend until the texture looks even. MEDICUBE suggests using more gel for a lighter feel and increasing the capsule portion when you want a richer, more cushioned finish. Begin with less than you think you need, then adjust the next application based on comfort.

When should I apply it, and can I use it every day?

Apply after serum as the moisturizing step, spreading the mixed cream over the face and neck. MEDICUBE directs morning and evening use. If it is new to your routine, start once daily or every other day so you can judge texture and tolerance. Finish a morning application with sunscreen, especially when uneven-looking tone is a priority.

Does the jar contain 5% TXA and niacinamide?

The official formula lists niacinamide at 50,000 ppm, which equals 5%. MEDICUBE separately describes the tranexamic-acid raw material as 99% pure; that is a purity statement about the ingredient, not a claim that 99% of the jar is TXA. The brand does not publish the finished-product TXA percentage on the current US page.

Is it suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

MEDICUBE says the exact cream completed human application testing, received a low-irritation result, and was assessed for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Individual responses can still differ, especially with a rich application or aromatic plant oils. Patch test first, use a modest amount, and stop if persistent itching, swelling, marked redness, or new irritation appears.

Why can the cream feel sticky, heavy, or pill?

Capsule creams can become rich when too much product or too many capsules are used. Shopper reports also mention stickiness, slow absorption, or pilling in some routines. Try more gel, less capsule, and a thinner overall layer. Let serum settle before application, and avoid repeatedly rubbing as the cream begins to set on the skin.

Does this cream contain fragrance?

The current formula does not list fragrance or parfum, but it does contain lemongrass leaf oil and anise fruit or seed oil, which can contribute a noticeable scent. Shopper descriptions conflict, ranging from little noticeable fragrance to a strong aroma. If scented formulas or aromatic oils bother you, patch test and smell the product before using it broadly.

How quickly should I expect visible results?

MEDICUBE reports immediate changes in radiance, hydration, and tone balance in its single-use testing, but that does not establish a fixed timeline for every dark mark. Pigmentation and post-breakout discoloration can change gradually and results vary by routine and skin. Use a consistent amount, wear daytime sunscreen, and assess progress over several weeks rather than one night.

Can I layer it with vitamin C, retinoids, or exfoliating acids?

The formula already contains several tone-care ingredients, including niacinamide, TXA, alpha-arbutin, glutathione, and a vitamin C derivative. MEDICUBE does not publish a special separation rule for this cream. If your routine also uses a strong retinoid or exfoliating acid, introduce one change at a time and reduce frequency if the combined routine feels uncomfortable.
