medicube 21% Acid Wash-off Exfoliant AHA+BHA+Succinic 1.41 fl oz — 1‑minute resurfacing for bumpy, breakout-prone skin

Medicube 21% Acid Wash-off Exfoliant is a one-minute, wash-off resurfacing serum that blends AHA, BHA, and succinic acid to smooth texture, clear pore debris, and refresh breakout-prone skin.

This concentrated Korean-formula wash-off serum uses lactic acid (AHA), salicylic acid (BHA), and succinic acid together with patented soothing complexes to exfoliate and refine skin tone without prolonged exposure. Designed to be used briefly and rinsed off, it targets clogged pores, rough patches, and excess sebum while minimizing irritation when introduced gradually into your routine.

How does this wash-off serum work in just one minute?

The formula combines different acid types to loosen dead skin cells and dissolve pore blockages quickly. Because it’s applied briefly then rinsed, it reduces contact time while still delivering surface and pore-level exfoliation.

• 21% concentrated acid blend (AHA+BHA+succinic) for rapid exfoliation
• Applies as two drops spread across the face, left 1 minute, then rinsed
• Short contact time lowers the risk of prolonged irritation
• Polishes texture and clears blackheads, whiteheads, and debris

Will this be harsh on sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Medicube pairs active acids with soothing ingredients (Hydra CalmTM & Derma-CleraTM) to reduce irritation. A patch test is recommended; start once weekly and increase only if your skin tolerates it well.

• Patented calming complexes help buffer sensitivity
• Clinically focused to reduce excess sebum and surface dead skin
• Suitable for many acne-prone skin types when used cautiously
• Patch test advised behind ear or on inner forearm first

How should I add this product into my skincare routine?

Use the exfoliant as a short weekly treatment at first, then increase frequency gradually up to twice weekly if tolerated. Always follow with sunscreen during daytime and a hydrating moisturizer afterward.

• Cleanse skin fully before application
• Dispense two drops, spread, leave 1 minute, gently massage, then rinse
• Start once a week, move to twice weekly only if no irritation appears
• Use sunscreen after daytime use; hydrate afterward for barrier support

What visible effects can I expect and when?

Because it’s a concentrated wash-off exfoliant, many users notice improved smoothness, reduced surface bumps, and clearer pores after repeated use. Results depend on skin condition and consistency of use.

• Smoother texture and less noticeable dead-skin buildup with ongoing use
• Reduced blackhead and whitehead appearance as pores are cleared
• Improved radiance and hydration retention due to exfoliation and soothing ingredients
• Progressive changes—best seen over several applications rather than overnight

Who is this for: This product is aimed at people with bumpy, breakout-prone, or congested skin seeking a quick, effective exfoliation method that minimizes exposure time. It’s a fit for those comfortable introducing acids into their routine, willing to patch-test, and who want a targeted weekly resurfacing step rather than daily acid toning. Not recommended for severely compromised or inflamed skin without professional guidance.
