Medicube - Red Acne Body Wash 3.0 400ml

Medicube Red Acne Body Wash 3.0 is an exfoliating body cleanser developed specifically for oily, blemish-prone and congested body skin.

The updated 3.0 formula combines 5% Niacinamide with AHA, BHA and PHA exfoliating ingredients to address several common body skin concerns at once, including excess sebum, accumulated dead skin cells, clogged-looking pores, rough texture and marks left behind by previous blemishes. Medicube's Korean product information identifies the 3.0 formula as containing substantially more Niacinamide than the previous 2.0 version. 

Salicylic Acid, a BHA, provides exfoliating care that helps remove accumulated oil and dead skin cells. Gluconolactone provides PHA care, while the acid complex helps leave rough body skin feeling smoother and more refined.

Niacinamide provides complementary tone and barrier care, helping improve the appearance of dullness and visible post-blemish marks. Panthenol, Allantoin and a selection of botanical extracts provide additional soothing and conditioning support.

Medicube also incorporates its Dermatic AC3 complex at 10,000 ppm, together with 7 Forest Complex, 4 Phyto-Green Complex and 2 Mint Complex for additional targeted care for troubled body skin. 

The creamy foaming formula makes it particularly suitable for areas where body breakouts commonly occur, including the back and chest.
