medicube Peel Shot Exfoliating Serum with Kojic Acid & Turmeric, 2.7 fl.oz — BHA/LHA/PHA Brightening Hydrating Formula

medicube Peel Shot with Kojic Acid Turmeric is a single-step exfoliating serum that buffs away dead skin, refines texture, and helps brighten dull, troubled-looking complexions.

This lightweight, leave-on serum combines chemical exfoliants with supportive hydrators to refresh skin without aggressive abrasion. Formulated with a blend of BHA, LHA and PHA plus kojic acid and turmeric-derived ingredients, the product aims to loosen clogged pores, reduce visible roughness, and improve overall radiance while helping maintain the skin’s moisture balance.

How does this serum remove dead skin without harsh irritation?

The formula uses a multi-acid approach — BHA (salicylic), LHA (a gentler derivative), and PHA — to dissolve bonds between corneocytes and clear pore congestion more gently than physical scrubs. These acids target different layers and kinds of buildup so you get thorough exfoliation with reduced risk of microtears or oversensitivity.

• BHA penetrates oil-filled pores to clear blackheads and excess sebum.
• LHA offers steady exfoliation with a lower irritation profile for sensitive zones.
• PHA supports surface smoothing and helps retain moisture for less dryness.

Will this product help with uneven tone and dullness?

Brightening agents like kojic acid and turmeric-derived extracts work alongside the acids to promote a more even-looking tone over time. By removing the top layer of dull, dead skin and encouraging cellular turnover, the serum helps reveal fresher, more luminous skin beneath.

• Kojic acid contributes to visual brightening of hyperpigmentation-prone areas.
• Turmeric components add antioxidant support and a clearer-looking finish.
• Regular use reduces trapped pigment in surface dead cells for improved clarity.

How does medicube support hydration and the skin barrier during exfoliation?

Instead of stripping moisture, this formulation includes hyaluronic acid and ceramides to replenish and lock in hydration while acids work. Those ingredients help maintain skin suppleness and comfort, reducing the tight, flaky feeling that can follow stronger exfoliants.

• Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture for immediate plumping effect.
• Ceramides strengthen the lipid barrier to prevent transepidermal water loss.
• Combined action helps skin feel smoother and less irritated after use.

How should I use this Peel Shot and how often is it safe?

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin as directed, focusing on areas with rough texture or congestion; no rubbing with a scrub is needed. Frequency depends on tolerance — many people start with every other day or a few times weekly and increase as skin acclimates. Always follow with sunscreen during daytime, since exfoliants can increase sun sensitivity.

• Start slowly (1–3 times per week) and adjust based on skin response.
• Use moisturizing products afterward to support barrier recovery.
• Wear SPF daily when using exfoliating acids to protect renewed skin.

Who is this for: medicube Peel Shot is suited to people with dull, rough, or congested skin who want a leave-on chemical exfoliant that targets blackheads, excess oil and texture while supporting hydration. It’s formulated to be low-irritation and non-comedogenic, making it a practical option for those seeking clearer-looking skin without heavy mechanical scrubbing. Avoid use on actively irritated or open wounds; consult a dermatologist if you have specific skin conditions or concerns.
