Product Information
Full details
The Medicube Deep Vita C Capsule Serum is designed for adults seeking to address dullness, dark spots, and uneven skin tone through the power of stabilized Vitamin C. Its primary benefit is the innovative encapsulation technology that keeps the pure Vitamin C fresh until the exact moment of application, ensuring maximum potency for a brighter, more radiant complexion. A notable caveat is that due to its active nature, users with highly sensitive skin should patch test the product before full-face application to ensure compatibility.

FAQs
Can I use this serum with other active ingredients like Retinol?
It is generally recommended to separate the use of Vitamin C and Retinol. Use the Vita C Serum in the morning and reserve Retinol for your evening routine.
Is this product suitable for all skin types?
Yes, it is designed for all skin types, though those with very sensitive skin should perform a patch test before first use.
Does the Vitamin C in this serum oxidize easily?
The encapsulation technology significantly slows oxidation, keeping the formula stable and effective much longer than traditional liquid Vitamin C serums.
Can this be used on acne-prone skin?
Yes, it is safe for acne-prone skin and can actually help fade the dark spots left behind by healed blemishes.
How long does one 30ml bottle last?
Depending on usage frequency, a 30ml bottle typically lasts between 4 to 6 weeks with regular daily use.
Should I apply sunscreen after using this serum?
Yes, it is highly recommended to apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using any Vitamin C product to protect your skin and maintain results.
Troubleshooting
The capsules are difficult to burst upon application.
Ensure your skin is slightly damp from toner or gently warm the serum between your fingertips before massaging it into the skin.
Feeling of tingling or mild stinging upon application.
This is common with high-potency Vitamin C. If it persists, reduce the frequency of use or mix the serum with your regular moisturizer to dilute it slightly.
The serum feels sticky after application.
You may be using too much product. Try using half a pump and patting it in rather than rubbing, which helps with better absorption.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your serum, store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, as light and heat can destabilize active ingredients. The serum is highly compatible with most hydrating toners and soothing creams; however, avoid layering it with strong chemical exfoliants like AHAs or BHAs at the same time to prevent irritation. For daily care, ensure your hands are clean before dispensing the product. If you are new to high-concentration Vitamin C, start by using the product every other day before graduating to a once- or twice-daily application to allow your skin to build tolerance.
