## How it works

Medicube Red Serum Plus is a serum built for the treatment step right after toner. Its ingredient list leads with Salicylic Acid, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, and Centella Asiatica Extract, 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. Salicylic Acid does the most work here as a pore care, 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 Red Serum Plus line rather than a US-reformulated variant, the texture and finish match what Medicube sells through Korean retail.

## How to use

1. Use the Red Serum Plus after toner and before moisturizer, in the evening.
2. Three or four drops covers the whole face. Press it in with flat palms instead of rubbing it around.
3. Toner first so the surface is damp, then this, then about a minute before your moisturizer goes over the top. Salicylic acid is the entry that puts this step in the evening rather than the morning.
4. Start at two or three evenings a week and build up from there, because salicylic acid is on this list. Do not use it in the same routine as another resurfacing acid or a retinoid.

## FAQ

### What does the Red Serum Plus actually contain?

Its ingredient list is led by Salicylic 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 Red Serum Plus?

Use this serum as the treatment step right after toner. To apply, smooth or press onto 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 Red Serum Plus the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?

This Red Serum Plus 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 Serum Plus 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 Red Serum Plus suited for?

It suits most skin types looking for treatment step right after toner rather than a single acute problem. It comes in a 55ml format. Anyone with a known sensitivity to a specific ingredient should check the full ingredient panel on this page before buying.
