MEDICUBE Hypochlorous Acid Peel Shot (80ml)

This isn’t your average exfoliant. Medicube’s Hypochlorous Acid Peel Shot is a rinse-off treatment that takes a gentler approach to pore care, a gommage formula that lifts away dead skin cells and surface impurities without relying on traditional acids or abrasive scrubs. Applied to dry skin, massaged in, then rinsed away, it leaves the complexion looking visibly clearer and more refined in a single step.

At the heart of the formula is Hypochlorous Acid, a skin-calming purifying ingredient that works to sweep away surface impurities while soothing any irritation that comes with congestion and daily exposure. It targets excess sebum and helps refine the look of pores, making it particularly well-suited to skin that tends to feel congested, clogged or textured. Allantoin and Panthenol sit alongside it, soothing and replenishing moisture so the formula calms as actively as it clarifies.

The exfoliation works on two levels. The gommage texture rolls up dead cells and surface buildup when massaged into dry skin, lifting them away without abrasion. A Protease enzyme adds a gentle chemical exfoliation layer alongside this, helping to loosen the bonds between surface cells for a more thorough result. Charcoal Powder works throughout to absorb excess sebum, directly addressing the blackheads and congestion that leave pores looking enlarged. Ceramide NP and Beta-Glucan sit within the formula to help maintain barrier integrity throughout the process, so the skin’s defences stay intact even as the formula gets to work.

The texture is a lightweight serum that applies smoothly to dry skin, then rinses cleanly away with no residue and no stripping sensation just clearer, calmer skin. A good fit for anyone dealing with congested pores, blackheads or uneven texture, particularly those who find stronger exfoliants too aggressive.
