Medicube Red Acne Succinic Acid Peel 1 Min - 40g

Medicube Red Acne Succinic Acid Peel is a powerful 1-minute wash-off chemical exfoliant formulated with 21% succinic acid, AHA (lactic acid + glycolic acid), and BHA (salicylic acid). This triple-acid formula unclogs pores, dissolves dead skin cells, and controls acne breakouts — all in just 60 seconds of application.

Succinic acid is a naturally-derived ingredient that targets acne while being gentler than traditional acne acids.

1. Apply on dry skin after cleansing, avoiding the eye and lip area.
2. Spread a thin, even layer across your face.
3. Leave on for exactly 1 minute — do not exceed the recommended time.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
5. Follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer.
6. Always apply sunscreen the next morning — acids increase sun sensitivity.

Pro tip: Use 1-2 times per week, not daily. Start with once a week and increase if your skin tolerates it well. Do not use on broken, irritated, or sunburned skin. If you're new to chemical exfoliation, start with 30 seconds and build up to the full minute. Pair with the Medicube Red Cream 2.0 for a complete acne-fighting routine.
