Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Toning Cleanser 120g

A brightening cleanser that doubles down on uneven tone, dullness and texture without stripping skin. The formula combines kojic acid, turmeric, and niacinamide, ingredients known for helping fade dark patches, support radiance, and refine texture-inside a soft, whipped foam. Perfect when you want your first cleanse to already start addressing pigmentation and dullness, not just remove dirt.

Whipped, dense foam that feels soft rather than harsh. Cleanses thoroughly but keeps skin from feeling tight; designed to support the moisture barrier rather than tear it down. Leaves skin clean, fresh and gently more radiant, not dry or squeaky.

Perfect match for individuals who…

• have uneven tone, post‑spot marks, or general dullness

• want a daily cleanser that gives some brightening support, not just basic wash

• like soft foam textures over gritty or harsh cleansers

• prefer a routine where cleansing already contributes to tone correction before serums or pads

Featured ingredients

• Kojic Acid — helps reduce the formation of new pigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme involved in melanin production; widely recognised for helping with uneven tone and dark spots. Independent dermatology guidance notes it as a gentle, effective brightening agent suitable across skin tones when used correctly.

• Turmeric extract — antioxidant support and tone‑balancing; works alongside brightening actives to calm and shield stressed or dull skin.

• Niacinamide — refines texture, supports barrier strength, and helps with uneven tone; commonly used to reduce dull, rough appearance. Ulta’s product details highlight niacinamide as a key texture‑refining ingredient in this cleanser.

How to use
☼ AM Routine – Cleanser → Toner → [Product Name] → Moisturiser → Sunscreen
☽ PM Routine – Cleanser → Toner → [Product Name] → Moisturiser

• Use on wet hands, work into a rich foam, massage gently across face and other dull or uneven areas, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

• Use daily, morning or night; if sensitivity appears, reduce frequency and ensure sunscreen in the day.

Good to know

• Dermatologically tested and positioned for gentle daily use on dull or uneven‑looking skin.

• Supports barrier health; not a stripping cleanser.

• For skin of colour or pigmentation concerns, patch test first and pair with sunscreen; expert guidance recommends consistent sun protection when using kojic acid products.

• Fragrance or essential oil content is minimal in the listing; still, users sensitive to aromas should patch test first.

• Works best as part of a routine that includes leave‑on brightening steps, not as the only brightening step.
