Key actives
14Hypochlorous AcidClarity
Hypochlorous Acid sits in the middle stretch of the ingredient list, a supporting rather than a headline role. It is an ingredient chosen for clarity: a mild antimicrobial ingredient used in Korean acne-care formulas to keep the surface feeling clean between washes.
21Sodium HyaluronateHydration
Sodium Hyaluronate sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for hydration: a salt form of hyaluronic acid that draws and holds water at the skin's surface, leaving the finish plumper and less tight within minutes of use.
26Ceramide NPBarrier support
Ceramide NP sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for barrier support: a lipid that is naturally part of the skin's own barrier, included to support the surface that keeps moisture in and irritants out.
28AllantoinComfort
Allantoin sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for comfort: a comfort ingredient with a long safety record, added to keep the finish gentle on skin that is dealing with dryness or mild sensitivity.
29PanthenolComfort
Panthenol sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for comfort: provitamin B5, a humectant and comfort ingredient that softens the finish and helps a formula feel less drying over repeated use.

Medicube Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot
What does the Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot actually contain?
Its ingredient list is led by Hypochlorous Acid, with the rest of the formula built to support that active rather than compete with it. We list the ingredients in the order the manufacturer prints them, so the ones near the top of the panel are doing the most work in the formula.
How do I use the Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot?
Use this body exfoliating treatment as a leave-on body exfoliating step used a few times a week. To apply, smooth over clean, dry skin, leave on for the time stated on the label, and rinse or wipe off as directed. Keep it to PM unless the packaging states otherwise, and give the rest of the routine a moment to settle before layering the next step. Give it a full bottle or box before judging the result, since most Korean routines are built for steady use rather than a single application.
Is the Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot is the Korean-market formula, not a version reformulated for US shelves. It arrives with its original Korean-market barcode and batch code intact so the formula can be checked against the box on arrival.
Can I use the Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot with other actives in my routine?
Yes, as long as it is used in its own step, a leave-on body exfoliating step used a few times a week, and not layered on top of a product doing the same job. Introduce any new step gradually over the first week or two and keep an eye on how the skin responds before adding a second new active alongside it.
Who is the Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot suited for?
It suits most skin types looking for leave-on body exfoliating step used few times week rather than a single acute problem. It comes in a 280ml format. Anyone with a known sensitivity to a specific ingredient should check the full ingredient panel on this page before buying.

34 of 35 explained
- WATER solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- ALCOHOL DENAT solvent
- Alcohol Denat. is ethanol with a bitter additive that makes it undrinkable, which is a tax rule rather than a formulation choice. It behaves like alcohol: a fast-evaporating solvent that gives a weightless finish and can feel drying at higher levels.
- CARBOMER thickener
- Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
- QUATERNIUM-60 thickener
- A clay-based thickener modified to work in oil phases. It gives a stick or a balm body and stops pigments settling.
- PROPYLENE GLYCOL humectant
- Propylene Glycol is a small glycol used as a humectant and solvent. It hydrates and helps actives dissolve; newer formulas often swap it for propanediol, which does the same job with a lighter feel.
- 1,2-HEXANEDIOL humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- CAPRYLYL METHICONE silicone
- Caprylyl Methicone is a silicone with a fatty tail, so it mixes with plant oils as well as with silicones. It gives a dry slip and helps disperse powders.
- CAPRYLYL GLYCOL preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- POLYGLYCERYL-10 OLEATE emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate is a mild sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser used where a formula must stay clear.
- ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- CHARCOAL POWDER absorbent
- Activated charcoal, a very porous carbon powder. Its surface binds oil and pigment, and it is what makes a mask or cleanser black.
22 more explained
- HYPOCHLOROUS ACID(20PPM) preservative
- The same mild antimicrobial the body immune cells produce. It is used at very low concentration and is unstable in storage, so products carrying it are made to be used quickly.
- GLUCOSE humectant
- Glucose is a simple sugar used as a humectant and as food for the ferment ingredients in the same formula. It hydrates mildly and adds a soft slip.
- CHLORELLA VULGARIS EXTRACT plant extract
- Chlorella Vulgaris is a freshwater green algae. Its extract carries proteins, chlorophyll and amino acids and is used as a conditioning ingredient.
- BUTYLENE GLYCOL humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- FRUCTOSE humectant
- Fructose is a simple sugar used as a light humectant. It holds water in the outer layer and often arrives as part of a fruit or honey extract.
- FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES humectant
- Fructooligosaccharides are short fructose chains used as humectants and as food for the skin's own resident microbes.
- TOCOPHEROL antioxidant
- Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
- SODIUM HYALURONATE CROSSPOLYMER humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer is hyaluronic acid linked into a mesh. It holds water in a soft gel on the surface rather than sinking in, and it releases that water slowly through the day.
- CYNANCHUM ATRATUM EXTRACT plant extract
- Cynanchum Atratum is a root used in Korean traditional practice. Its extract is used as a conditioning plant extract in formulas for reactive skin.
- XYLOSE sugar
- Xylose is a simple wood sugar. It is a humectant, and it is the unit the xylitol-based hydration blends are built from.
- POLYGLUTAMIC ACID humectant
- Polyglutamic Acid comes from fermented soy and holds several times more water than hyaluronic acid for its weight. It forms a light film on the surface, so it is often layered with hyaluronic rather than replacing it.
- ALTHAEA ROSEA FLOWER EXTRACT plant extract
- Althaea Rosea is hollyhock, a mallow relative rich in mucilage. Its flower extract hydrates and leaves a cushioned, slippery feel.
- CERAMIDE NP barrier lipid
- Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
- SODIUM CHLORIDE thickener
- Sodium Chloride is salt. In a cleanser it thickens the liquid; in a mask or essence it balances the mineral content of the water phase. It has no active role.
- ALLANTOIN active
- Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
- PANTHENOL humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- ORYZA SATIVA (RICE) BRAN WATER plant extract
- Rice Bran Water is the water from washing or steeping rice bran, the traditional Korean and Japanese rinse. It is used in place of plain water as a formula base.
- MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA (TEA TREE) LEAF EXTRACT plant extract
- Tea Tree Leaf Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is far milder and much less aromatic. It is used in formulas for blemish-prone skin.
- PROTEASE active
- Protease is an enzyme that breaks down protein. In a cleanser or peel it loosens the protein bonds holding dead surface cells together, which is a gentler route to smoothness than an acid or a scrub.
- ORYZA SATIVA (RICE) EXTRACT plant extract
- Rice Extract is the anchor of the Korean rice-skincare category. It carries starches, amino acids and ferulic acid, and it is used for the look of dullness and for a soft, blurred finish.
- CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT plant extract
- Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
- HYDROLYZED HYALURONIC ACID humectant
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.

How it works
Medicube Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot is a body exfoliating treatment built for a leave-on body exfoliating step used a few times a week. Its ingredient list leads with Hypochlorous Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Ceramide NP, so the formula's stated purpose lines up with what actually sits near the top of that list rather than with a single marketing ingredient buried further down. Hypochlorous Acid does the most work here as a clarity, and the remaining actives round out the texture and finish rather than compete for attention. Placed as a leave-on body exfoliating step used a few times a week, it is meant to be used PM rather than swapped freely between steps. Because this is the Korean-market version of the Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot line rather than a US-reformulated variant, the texture and finish match what Medicube sells through Korean retail.
How to use
- Use the Hypochlorous Acid Body Peeling Shot in the shower, on skin that is damp rather than soaking.
- Work it over the areas you want it on in small circles for under a minute, then rinse.
- Follow it with a body lotion while skin is still damp from the shower.
- Do not use it on the same evening as a shave or on skin that already feels sore.
Worth knowing
- Introduce it two to three nights a week at first and watch how the skin responds before moving to nightly use.
- Pair it with a daily sunscreen step, since brightening and exfoliating actives can make skin more reactive to sun exposure.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic Ceramides are part fatty acid and part amino acid and are able to be the grout that keeps the building blocks of the skin together and functioning as a barrier between the inside and outside world.

Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
