Key actives
4NiacinamideTone 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.
19Centella Asiatica Leaf ExtractComfort
Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for comfort: a cica extract long used in Korean formulation for its calming reputation, chosen here to keep the finish comfortable on skin that flares easily.
22AdenosineFirming look
Adenosine sits further down the ingredient list, in a supporting, lower-weighted role. It is an ingredient chosen for firming look: a nucleoside included for its reputation in smoothing the look of fine expression lines, one of the more established anti-aging ingredients in Korean formulation.
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.
30Salicylic 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.

Medicube Red Clear Capsule Body Lotion
What does the Red Clear Capsule Body Lotion 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 Clear Capsule Body Lotion?
Use this body lotion as the last step after showering. To apply, smooth over damp or dry skin from the neck down, giving extra attention to rough or dry patches. 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 Red Clear Capsule Body Lotion the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This Red Clear Capsule Body Lotion 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 Clear Capsule Body Lotion with other actives in my routine?
Yes, as long as it is used in its own step, the last step after showering, 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 Clear Capsule Body Lotion suited for?
It suits most skin types looking for last step after showering rather than a single acute problem. It comes in a 230ml format. Anyone with a known sensitivity to a specific ingredient should check the full ingredient panel on this page before buying.

33 of 33 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.
- Urea humectant
- Urea is one of the substances skin makes to hold its own water, part of the natural moisturising factor. At low levels it hydrates; at high levels it also softens hard, thickened 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.
- 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.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Glyceryl Stearate emulsifier
- Glyceryl Stearate is glycerin joined to stearic acid, and one of the most used emulsifiers in skincare. It holds oil and water together and thickens the result, and it softens skin at the same time.
- 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.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Cetearyl Olivate emulsifier
- Cetearyl Olivate is the water-loving half of the olive-derived emulsifier pair. With sorbitan olivate it builds emulsions whose lipid profile is close to skin's own.
- Cetearyl Alcohol fatty alcohol
- Cetearyl Alcohol is a waxy solid, not the drying kind of alcohol. It is a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols used to thicken a cream and keep oil and water from separating, and it softens skin as it does so.
- Sorbitan Olivate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Olivate is an olive-derived emulsifier, the oil-loving half of the pair sold as Olivem. It holds oil into water and leaves a light, non-waxy feel.
21 more explained
- Vinyl Dimethicone silicone
- Vinyl Dimethicone is a silicone used as a building block of the crosspolymer gels that give a formula its soft, blurring feel.
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane silicone
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane is a silicone resin in fine sphere form. It soft-focuses the look of pores and lines and gives a smooth, powdery finish.
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter emollient
- Shea Butter is the fat pressed from the shea nut, rich in oleic and stearic acids and unsaponifiable plant sterols. It is a heavy emollient and partial occlusive, which is why it sits in balms and night creams rather than in essences.
- Arginine amino acid
- Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
- 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.
- Fragrance fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Adenosine active
- Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Silica absorbent
- Silica is finely milled mineral, essentially very pure sand. It absorbs oil, stops powders clumping and soft-focuses the look of pores and fine lines.
- Agar thickener
- Agar is a seaweed polysaccharide that sets into a firm gel. It is the gelling agent behind jelly masks and thick sleeping packs.
- Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum thickener
- Guar Gum is a seed polysaccharide that thickens and stabilises. It also leaves a conditioning film that makes skin feel smooth.
- 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.
- Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root Extract plant extract
- Purple gromwell root, long used in Korean and Chinese herbal practice. The root is deep red-purple, so it colours a formula, and it is used for the look of reactive skin.
- 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.
- 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.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil fragrance component
- Tea Tree Leaf Oil is an essential oil from an Australian shrub, carrying terpinen-4-ol. Korean formulas use it in products aimed at blemish-prone skin; it is potent, aromatic, and one of the essential oils most likely to bother reactive 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.
- 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.

How it works
Medicube Red Clear Capsule Body Lotion is a body lotion built for the last step after showering. Its ingredient list leads with Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, and Adenosine, 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 the last step after showering, it is meant to be used AM/PM rather than swapped freely between steps. Because this is the Korean-market version of the Red Clear Capsule Body Lotion line rather than a US-reformulated variant, the texture and finish match what Medicube sells through Korean retail.
How to use
- Use the Red Clear Capsule Body Lotion after showering, while skin is still damp.
- A generous palmful per limb, smoothed on in the direction the hair grows rather than against it.
- It goes on over nothing and under nothing. Damp skin straight out of the shower is the state it works from.
- Once or twice a day. Do not wait until skin has fully dried; the water on the surface is part of what the layer holds in.
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.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
