[15] MEDICUBE - RED ACNE BODY WASH 400G

A solid exfoliating, hydrating, and soothing body wash for acne- or bump-prone areas, combining BHA/AHA and niacinamide in a low‑pH, skin-friendly base with botanical support. Particularly effective for back-chest-breakouts, with a spa-like fragrance—mind the scent preference and ensure pump integrity.

Suitable for Skin Type

• Ideal for oily, acne-prone, backne/clearance concerns, but also tolerable for sensitive and normal skin due to its balanced, low-pH formulation

What It Will Achieve

Key Ingredients

• Niacinamide – Brightens, reduces inflammation, supports barrier & fades spots

• Lactic Acid – AHA for mild exfoliation and moisturization

• Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid & Panthenol – Hydrating and soothing benefits

• BOTANICAL COMPLEX – Extracts from lavender, thyme, mint, Korean red pine for antimicrobial and calming effects
