Product detailed description

Problem skin does not deserve compromise 

• 🦠 Do pimples keep coming back despite regular care?
  o-Cymen-5-ol and 4-Terpineol are natural phenolic compounds with antimicrobial effects stronger than tea tree oil. Colloidal sulfur directly inhibits the growth of Cutibacterium acnes bacteria. Tea tree oil adds a third layer of protection. Three different mechanisms to eliminate the bacteria that cause pimples.
• 🔴 Redness around pimples that does not go away?
  Troxerutin is a flavonoid that strengthens capillary walls and reduces their permeability. Less permeable vessels mean less redness and swelling around pimples. In a cream for acne-prone skin, it is a rare but very clever ingredient.
• 🕳️ Oily skin and clogged pores?
  Salicylic acid penetrates pores and dissolves sebum plugs. Willow Bark adds a natural source of salicin. Zinc PCA regulates sebum production in the long term. Three ingredients for cleaner pores at once.
• 🌟 Want to treat acne while evening out your tone?
  Niacinamide in a high concentration blocks melanin transfer and helps lighten dark marks after pimples. Japanese goldthread (Coptis Japonica) adds antioxidants. Troxerutin reduces redness. Treatment and a more even tone at the same time.
• 💧 Do acne creams dry out your skin and disrupt the barrier?
  Shea butter, allantoin and dimethyl sulfone (MSM, organic sulfur) hydrate and regenerate the barrier. Medicube Red Cream 2.0 treats while strengthening the skin, not exhausting it.

Colloidal sulfur, troxerutin and 7 antimicrobial ingredients. Medicube Red Cream 2.0 knows no compromise.

Key active ingredients

⚗️Colloidal Sulfur

Sulfur is one of the oldest and most proven acne ingredients. The colloidal form has microscopic particles that penetrate deeper into the skin. It inhibits the growth of Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, reduces sebum production and gently exfoliates dead cells. It is rare in modern creams but still very effective.

🔬o-Cymen-5-ol + 4-Terpineol

o-Cymen-5-ol is a natural phenol with antimicrobial effects clinically proven to be stronger than tea tree oil. 4-Terpineol is a terpene compound with similar properties. Together they form a pair that directly targets acne-causing bacteria without harshly irritating sensitive skin.

💊Troxerutin

Troxerutin is a semi-synthetic derivative of rutin (a flavonoid from buckwheat). It strengthens capillary walls and reduces their permeability to fluids. In practice this means less redness, less swelling and less visible pimples. It is exceptional in acne creams and rarely encountered.

🌟Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

A high concentration of niacinamide regulates sebum production, blocks melanin transfer to lighten dark marks after pimples and minimizes pore visibility. A key ingredient for evening out tone after acne.

⚡Zinc PCA + Salicylic Acid + Salix Alba

Zinc PCA regulates sebum production and has antimicrobial effects. Salicylic acid (BHA) penetrates pores and dissolves sebum plugs. Willow Bark adds a natural source of salicin for gentler exfoliation. Triple care for pores and sebum.

🧬Dimethyl Sulfone (MSM, Organic sulfur)

MSM is a bioavailable form of organic sulfur naturally found in the human body. It supports collagen production, reduces irritation and helps regenerate a damaged skin barrier. It is rarely used in acne creams; Medicube adds it for regeneration alongside treatment.

🌊Cladosiphon Okamuranus Extract

Fucoidan from the Okinawan seaweed Cladosiphon Okamuranus is a rare polysaccharide with strong antioxidant and soothing effects. Japanese tradition has known it for centuries; in Korean cosmetics it is rare.

🍄Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment

A fermented black yeast that produces beta-glucan to strengthen the microbiome and the skin's natural defenses. A healthy microbiome is key for long-term acne control.

🌿Botanical antioxidant complex

Japanese goldthread (Coptis Japonica), green tea, bergamot, Japanese red pine, asparagus (Asparagus Cochinchinensis), coffee, hydroxycinnamic acid and rutin form a powerful antioxidant complex to protect the skin from free radicals and speed up regeneration.

How to use correctly

Application

Apply as the last step of your routine to cleansed and toned skin. Spread gently over the whole face.

Local use

For a more intensive effect, apply a thicker layer directly to problem areas and pimples.

Frequency

Morning and evening. Always add SPF in the morning; salicylic acid increases sensitivity to UV radiation.

For acne-prone skin: Every evening as the main hydrating step
SOS: A thicker layer directly on the pimple overnight
Always in the morning: SPF is a must

Frequently asked questions

• What is colloidal sulfur and why is it in the cream?
  Colloidal sulfur is one of the oldest acne ingredients. It inhibits acne-causing bacteria, reduces sebum and gently exfoliates. It is rare in modern creams but still very effective.
• What is troxerutin and why is it in an acne cream?
  Troxerutin strengthens capillary walls and reduces redness and swelling around pimples. It is exceptional in acne creams; most brands do not use it.
• Why does the cream contain shea butter - doesn't it clog pores?
  Shea butter has a low comedogenic rating and is safe for acne-prone skin. It hydrates without clogging pores and prevents dryness from active ingredients such as salicylic acid.
• Is it suitable for sensitive acne-prone skin?
  Allantoin, MSM and shea butter soothe and protect the barrier. For very sensitive skin, start every other day and watch the reaction.
