How it works
Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Peel Shot 80ml is an ampoule built for the treatment step right after toner. Its ingredient list leads with Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Kojic Acid, and Salicylic Acid, 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. Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract does the most work here as a brightening, and the remaining actives round out the texture and finish rather than compete for attention. Placed as the treatment step right after toner, it is meant to be used AM/PM rather than swapped freely between steps. Because this is the Korean-market version of the Kojic Acid Turmeric Peel Shot 80ml line rather than a US-reformulated variant, the texture and finish match what Medicube sells through Korean retail.

Key actives
Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root ExtractBrightening
Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract sits near the top of the ingredient list, where the formula puts its heaviest-weighted ingredients. It is an ingredient chosen for brightening: a botanical extract with a traditional role in Korean brightening routines, chosen here for the warm, mellow note it adds alongside this formula's other brightening ingredients.
Kojic AcidBrightening
Kojic Acid sits in the middle stretch of the ingredient list, a supporting rather than a headline role. It is an ingredient chosen for brightening: a brightening ingredient with a long history in Korean and Japanese formulation, chosen here to work on the look of uneven patches and dullness.
Salicylic AcidPore care
Salicylic Acid sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for pore care: a BHA that works inside the pore lining, included at a level meant for regular use on textured, congestion-prone skin.
AllantoinComfort
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.
PanthenolComfort
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.
What does the Kojic Acid Turmeric Peel Shot 80ml actually contain?
Its ingredient list is led by Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, 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 Kojic Acid Turmeric Peel Shot 80ml?
Use this ampoule as the treatment step right after toner. To apply, press a small amount into cleansed, toned skin and follow with moisturizer. Keep it to AM/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 Kojic Acid Turmeric Peel Shot 80ml the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This Kojic Acid Turmeric Peel Shot 80ml 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 Kojic Acid Turmeric Peel Shot 80ml with other actives in my routine?
Yes, as long as it is used in its own step, the treatment step right after toner, 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 Kojic Acid Turmeric Peel Shot 80ml suited for?
It suits most skin types looking for treatment step right after toner rather than a single acute problem. It comes in a 80ml format. Anyone with a known sensitivity to a specific ingredient should check the full ingredient panel on this page before buying.

How to use
- Use this ampoule as the treatment step right after toner. To apply, press a small amount into cleansed, toned skin and follow with moisturizer. Keep it to AM/PM unless the packaging states otherwise, and give the rest of the routine a moment to settle before layering the next step.
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.
