Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum - 30ml

Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum delivers a powerful 5-layer retinol complex — Retinol, Retinal, Retinyl Palmitate, Retinyl Linoleate, and Retinyl Retinoate — alongside 0.1% HPR (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate), a 4th-generation retinol that works directly without needing to convert to Retinoic Acid. This means powerful anti-aging results without the typical retinol irritation.

Paired with 0.01% Bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative), niacinamide for brightening, squalane for deep hydration, and Centella Asiatica for soothing, this serum visibly smooths wrinkles, fades dark spots, minimizes pores, and refines texture. The formula strengthens the skin barrier while promoting long-term renewal for a clearer, firmer complexion.

First 2 weeks (adjustment period):

1. Apply a small amount to areas of concern every other day in the evening.
2. Allow skin to adjust before increasing frequency.

After adjustment:

1. After cleansing and toning, dispense 2-3 drops onto your fingertips.
2. Apply evenly across your face, focusing on wrinkles, dark spots, and pores.
3. Gently pat and press until absorbed.
4. Follow with moisturizer.
5. Always apply sunscreen the next morning — retinol increases sun sensitivity.

Pro tip: Use only in your evening routine. Start with every other night and gradually build up to nightly use. Always pair with SPF50+ sunscreen during the day. The HPR formula is gentler than traditional retinol, but patience during the adjustment period pays off with better long-term results.
