A brightening dual-texture cream from Medicube, designed to deliver Vitamin C deeper into the skin without the oxidation issues that affect most Vitamin C formulations. The Deep Vita C Capsule Cream combines two distinct textures in one jar: golden liposome-encapsulated Vitamin C capsules suspended in a clear hydrating gel. The capsules contain 50% Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides) Water, 5% Niacinamide, and Pure Vitamin C — sealed inside liposomes to preserve potency and freshness until the moment of application. The transparent gel base is infused with Ferulic Acid and a multi-Vitamin complex to boost stability and antioxidant efficacy. The capsule-to-gel ratio can be customised at each use to suit your skin type and concerns.
Key Benefits
- Skin appears brighter and more even — encapsulated Pure Vitamin C and five Vitamin C derivatives work to visibly fade dark spots and improve radiance, delivered via liposome technology that maintains potency
- Stabilised Vitamin C delivery — liposome encapsulation protects the Vitamin C from oxidation, ensuring maximum efficacy compared to standard Vitamin C formulations
- Skin tone visibly improved — 5% Niacinamide inhibits melanosome transfer and supports ceramide synthesis, visibly improving uneven tone and texture
- Antioxidant protection — Ferulic Acid, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), and Sea Buckthorn Extract work synergistically to neutralise free radicals and visibly protect against environmental stressors
- Hydration and suppleness — Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, and plant oils including Sunflower Seed Oil and Soybean Oil deliver moisture and comfort alongside the brightening actives
- Customisable texture — adjust the capsule-to-gel ratio at each application to tailor richness and intensity to your skin's needs on any given day
Suitable For
- Dull, uneven, or post-blemish skin
- Skin with dark spots or hyperpigmentation
- Normal, combination, oily, and dry skin types
- Those new to Vitamin C seeking a lower-irritation entry point
How to Use
Mix the Vitamin C capsule and transparent gel in a ratio suited to your skin type. For a lighter feel, use more gel; for more hydration and intensity, increase the capsule ratio. Apply morning and evening to face and neck after serum, as the last step before SPF in the morning. Always follow with sunscreen when using Vitamin C products during the day.
Suggested ratios by skin type:
Oily skin — 2 parts gel : 1 part capsule
Normal & combination — 1 part gel : 1 part capsule
Dry & sensitive — 1 part gel : 2 parts capsule
