Key actives
8Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (500 PpmBrightening
Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (500 Ppm 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.
10Kojic AcidBrightening
Kojic Acid sits near the top of the ingredient list, where the formula puts its heaviest-weighted ingredients. 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.
19Salicylic AcidPore care
Salicylic Acid sits in the middle stretch of the ingredient list, a supporting rather than a headline 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.
27PanthenolComfort
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.
28NiacinamideTone and texture
Niacinamide sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for tone and texture: a form of vitamin B3 that supports a more even-looking tone and a smoother surface texture with regular use, and layers comfortably under most other actives.

Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Toning Body Peeling Shot
What does the Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Toning Body Peeling Shot actually contain?
Its ingredient list is led by Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (500 Ppm, 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 Vita Toning 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 Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Toning Body Peeling Shot the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Toning 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 Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Toning 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 Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Toning 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.

Ingredient list read from incidecoder.com on 30 August 2026.
38 of 39 explained
- Water (Aqua) 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.
- 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.
- Alcohol solvent
- Alcohol here means ethanol. It dissolves ingredients water cannot, evaporates fast so a formula sets quickly and does not feel heavy, and thins texture. In quantity it can leave dry or reactive skin feeling tight, which is why many Korean formulas avoid it and some deliberately use it for a fast, weightless finish.
- 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.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer thickener
- This is a carbomer relative with fatty side chains, so it thickens and stabilises an emulsion at the same time. It gives a light gel-cream body rather than a heavy one.
- Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (500 Ppm) plant extract
- Turmeric Root Extract carries curcuminoids, well studied plant antioxidants. It is used for the look of dullness and uneven tone, and it tints a formula faintly yellow.
- 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.
- Kojic Acid (300 Ppm) active
- Kojic Acid comes from the fermentation of rice by Aspergillus, the mould used to make sake. It is used in formulas addressed to the look of uneven tone, and it darkens in air.
- Coptis Japonica Extract plant extract
- Japanese goldthread extract, the whole plant rather than only the root. It carries berberine, is bright yellow, and is used for the look of congested skin.
- 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.
26 more explained
- 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.
- Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil fragrance
- May chang oil, a bright lemon-scented essential oil pressed from a small Asian tree. Its scent comes mostly from citral, the same aromatic that gives lemongrass its character.
- Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil fragrance component
- Grapefruit peel oil, an essential oil pressed from the rind. It scents a formula, and citrus peel oils can make skin more sensitive to sun.
- Cyanocobalamin vitamin
- Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin.
- Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil fragrance component
- Bergamot Fruit Oil is a citrus essential oil and the top note of eau de cologne. It scents a formula; citrus oils are the aromatic class most likely to bother reactive skin.
- Salicylic Acid exfoliant
- Salicylic Acid is a BHA, and the only common exfoliant that is oil soluble, so it can work inside a pore rather than only on the surface. It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin.
- Gluconolactone exfoliant
- Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. Its molecule is too large to penetrate quickly, so it smooths the surface without the sting of an AHA, and it is a humectant at the same time.
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid exfoliant
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is salicylic acid with a fatty tail, sometimes sold as LHA. It stays nearer the surface than salicylic acid and works at a higher pH, so it exfoliates more evenly and more gently.
- Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil fragrance component
- Spearmint leaf oil, an essential oil with a softer, sweeter mint character than peppermint. It scents a formula and gives a cooling feel.
- Barosma Betulina Leaf Extract plant extract
- Buchu leaf extract, a South African botanical. The leaf carries flavonoids and aromatic oils, and the extract is used as a conditioning botanical with a faint blackcurrant scent.
- 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.
- Xanthan Gum thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
- Tripropylene Glycol solvent
- Tripropylene Glycol is a glycol used mainly as a solvent, keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid.
- 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.
- Niacinamide active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- 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.
- Ascorbic Acid antioxidant
- Ascorbic Acid is pure vitamin C, the most researched form and also the least stable: it needs a low pH and airtight packaging to stay active. It is an antioxidant used for the look of dullness and uneven tone.
- 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.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water plant extract
- Tea Tree Leaf Water is the distillate, used in place of plain water as a base. It carries a trace of the plant's aroma and none of the essential oil's strength.
- Steartrimonium Methosulfate surfactant
- A positively charged conditioning agent for hair. Despite the name the methosulfate part is not a cleansing sulfate and does not foam.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) 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.
- 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.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
- Lipase active
- Lipase is an enzyme that splits fats. In a cleanser or a mask it helps break down the oils sitting on the surface.
- 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.

How it works
Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Toning 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 Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (500 Ppm, 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 (500 Ppm 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 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 Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Toning 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 it after showering, on skin that is towel-dry, over the areas you actually want to work on.
- A few pumps onto a cotton pad or straight into the palm, then swept over the arms, shoulders or thighs.
- Let it dry, then follow with a body lotion, because an exfoliating step wants something over the top of it.
- Two or three times a week is enough. Do not use it on freshly shaved skin or anywhere broken.
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.
