RED ACNE SUCCINIC ACID PEEL – 40G

Medicube 1 Min Red Acne Succinic Acid Peel 40g is a wash-off exfoliating treatment designed for quick, targeted pore and texture care. The formula combines succinic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid to help exfoliate dead skin cells and remove excess sebum and impurities from the appearance of congested pores.

What it is & key benefits

• This is a peel-type exfoliating serum designed for acne-prone, oily, congested or textured skin.

• It uses succinic acid as a core active to target acne and sebum production.

• It also incorporates a high-percentage acid complex (AHA/BHA) to unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, clear blackheads and whiteheads. For example: “21% AHA/BHA”.

• Includes soothing/ calming ingredients (e.g., Centella Asiatica extract, tea tree water) to help reduce irritation from exfoliation.

• Aims to refine skin texture, reduce breakouts, control excess oil/sebum and improve clarity of skin.

📋 How to use

• After cleansing, dry your face (most usage instructions emphasise application on dry skin) so the acids can work.

• Apply a thin, even layer of the product (avoiding eyes and lips).

• Leave on 1-2 minutes (some say 1 minute for sensitive skin) then rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water.

• Use 1-2 times per week initially, and always follow with moisturiser and sunscreen the next morning (because exfoliation increases sun sensitivity).

• Note: Because of the high acid level, users should patch test and reduce frequency if skin becomes irritated.

🧪 Key ingredients & formulation highlights

• Succinic Acid: A less common acid in skincare, it’s used here for sebum control and acne-targeting properties.

• AHA / BHA complex: Numerous listings say “21% AHA/BHA”– so glycolic/lactic acids (AHAs) and salicylic acid (BHA) contribute to exfoliation of dead skin cells and pore congestion.

• Soothing botanical extracts like Centella Asiatica, tea tree leaf extract, panthenol, allantoin etc — help calm post-exfoliation redness and irritation.

• The texture is described as quite potent: “peel serum” style rather than a simple everyday toner or light exfoliant. Some caution for sensitive skin.
