The product itself on my skin: Didn't cause any breakouts, decreased the amount of inflammation and acne.
Texture: Very thick. thicker than butter. (I'm not that fussy about the texture, as long as it helps my acne)
*Smell: *light fragrance of sunscreen? (I don't really smell them unless they give off a heavy odor)
Cost: It is expensive. I would rather find something else that's cheaper with similar effects.
I'm not a skincare expert. Just a 18 year old who graduated from high-school student and I am desperate to get the skin without acne and hyperpigmentation. My acne skin and inflammation was my first target and I started looking for skincare products that may help with that problem.
Medicube went viral in many social media, thus I saw their advertisments many times. I have read and heard that Korean skin care products are known to be the best for many people, but I was afraid that it may be poisonous without people realising what the ingredients can cause.

I took a year of roaccutane and regret very much after a natural dermatologist told me what that drug was. The dermatologist I previously went gave me that drug to fix my acne problem (because I formal/prom was coming up) which did help a lot to decrease my acne. With just few bumps and inflammation, makeup helped cover them.
Roaccutane are said to cause problems with your gut in various ways (e.g. fertile, gut sensitivity, thin skin) Many have said after they stopped taking the drug, their skin returned to their normal thickness, but they should be aware that some people never regained their skin thickness, caused more wrinkles quicker than their age, and their sensitivity rose up like a rocket.
