Key actives
8NiacinamideTone and texture
Niacinamide sits near the top of the ingredient list, where the formula puts its heaviest-weighted ingredients. 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.
14Salicylic 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.
18Succinic AcidClarity
Succinic 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 acid chosen for blemish-prone skin, included to support a clearer-looking surface without the sharper sting of stronger exfoliating acids.
20Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf OilScalp comfort
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil sits in the middle stretch of the ingredient list, a supporting rather than a headline role. It is an ingredient chosen for scalp comfort: a botanical extract with a long folk reputation for scalp health, included here to support a calmer, more comfortable-feeling scalp.
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.

Medicube Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0
What does the Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0 actually contain?
Its ingredient list is led by Niacinamide, 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 Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0?
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 Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0 the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0 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 Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0 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 Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0 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 110g 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 medicube.us on 30 August 2026.
44 of 44 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.
- Lactic Acid exfoliant
- Lactic Acid is a larger AHA than glycolic, so it works nearer the surface and is easier on skin, and it is a humectant as well as an exfoliant. It is the AHA of choice for dry skin.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Citric Acid pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
- Sodium Hydroxide pH adjuster
- Sodium Hydroxide is a strong base used in traces to bring an acidic formula up to skin-friendly pH. None of it remains as itself once the formula is neutralised.
- 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.
- Methylpropanediol humectant
- Methylpropanediol is a small glycol used to hydrate and to help water-soluble actives penetrate the outer layer of skin more evenly. It leaves almost no tack, which suits watery textures.
- C12-14 Alketh-12 emulsifier
- C12-14 Alketh-12 is a solubiliser used to keep oils and fragrance dissolved in a water-based formula.
- 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.
- Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract plant extract
- Gardenia Fruit Extract is the traditional East Asian yellow dye plant. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant extract, and it can tint a formula.
32 more explained
- 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.
- 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.
- Dextrin thickener
- Dextrin is a starch fragment used to thicken and to give a formula a light, powdery finish. It is also a common carrier for powdered extracts.
- Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate emulsifier
- Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate is an emulsifier used in cleansing oils so the oil can be rinsed off with water rather than wiped away.
- Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil fragrance
- Peppermint essential oil. Its menthol content is what produces the cool feeling, and it is a commonly declared fragrance material.
- Succinic Acid active
- Succinic Acid is a small organic acid used for the look of blemish-prone skin and as a pH adjuster. It is far milder than an AHA at the levels used here.
- 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.
- Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil fragrance component
- Rosemary Leaf Oil is an essential oil carrying camphor and cineole. It scents a formula and is a stronger aromatic than most.
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate surfactant
- A strong anionic surfactant that foams heavily. It is a sulfate alternative in name but not in strength, and it is more common in shampoos than in facial cleansers.
- Lavandula Hybrida Oil fragrance
- Lavandin oil, from the hybrid lavender grown for perfumery. It is sharper and more camphorous than true lavender.
- Mentha Arvensis Extract plant extract
- Field mint leaf extract, the plant most menthol is distilled from. The extract is far gentler than the oil and carries a light cooling character.
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract plant extract
- Eucalyptus leaf extract, the water-based extract rather than the essential oil. It carries tannins and flavonoids with only a trace of the aroma.
- Brassica Oleracea Capitata (Cabbage) Leaf Extract plant extract
- Cabbage leaf extract. The leaf carries sulphur compounds, vitamin C and vitamin K, and the extract is used as a conditioning antioxidant botanical.
- Juniperus Mexicana Oil fragrance
- Texas cedarwood oil, used for a dry woody note. It is an aromatic ingredient rather than a functional one.
- 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.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- 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.
- Glycolic Acid exfoliant
- Glycolic Acid is the smallest AHA, which is why it is also the most penetrating and the most likely to sting. It loosens the bonds between dead surface cells and is used for the look of dullness and rough texture.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose thickener
- Hydroxyethylcellulose is a cellulose thickener that builds a clear, smooth gel and holds the rest of the formula in suspension.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract plant extract
- Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics.
- Cladosiphon Okamuranus Extract plant extract
- Cladosiphon Okamuranus is Okinawan mozuku seaweed, the main commercial source of fucoidan. Its extract is used as a hydrating polysaccharide ingredient.
- Centella Asiatica Leaf 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.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract plant extract
- Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.
- Decyl Glucoside surfactant
- Decyl Glucoside is a sugar and coconut-derived surfactant, one of the mildest cleansers available. It produces a soft, low foam and rinses without stripping.
- Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract plant extract
- Coffee Seed Extract carries caffeine and chlorogenic acid. It is used as an antioxidant extract and, in eye and body formulas, for the look of puffiness.
- Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Leaf Extract plant extract
- Bergamot Leaf Extract is the water-based leaf extract rather than the peel oil, so it is far milder and much less aromatic.
- Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract plant extract
- Pinus Densiflora is Korean red pine, a plant with a long history in Korean traditional use. The needle extract is used as an antioxidant plant extract.
- 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.
- 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.

How it works
Medicube Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0 is a body exfoliating treatment built for a leave-on body exfoliating step used a few times a week. Its ingredient list leads with Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid, and Succinic 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. Niacinamide does the most work here as a tone and texture, 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 Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0 line rather than a US-reformulated variant, the texture and finish match what Medicube sells through Korean retail.
How to use
- Use the Red Acne Body Peeling Shot 2.0 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
- Patch test on the inner arm before the first full-face application, especially on skin that reacts easily to new products.
- Stop use and rinse off if stinging, burning, or new redness shows up rather than pushing through discomfort.
