The Medicube Hypochlorous Acid Rice Peel Shot is a Korean rinse-off peeling serum from MEDICUBE — a brand known for clinical, results-focused skincare. You apply it to dry skin, massage it gently, and it forms a gommage that rolls away dead skin cells and sebum buildup from pores. Then you rinse. No burning, no redness, no harsh peeling — the exfoliation is physical, but the formula is genuinely soothing.
The star of the formula is Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) — a skin-safe antimicrobial compound that the body actually produces naturally. It calms irritation, reduces bacteria that cause congestion, and balances sebum while the physical and enzyme exfoliation clears the surface. Ceramide NP, Panthenol, and Hyaluronic Acid replenish moisture after exfoliation so the skin barrier stays intact. Clinical results from MEDICUBE show noticeable improvement in pore impurities and texture after a single use.
Key Benefits of Medicube Hypochlorous Acid Rice Peel Shot
- Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) purifies pores, reduces bacteria that cause congestion and breakouts, and calms skin irritation simultaneously — making it one of the few exfoliating formulas that soothes rather than stresses the skin during use
- Protease enzyme with Charcoal Powder gently breaks down and lifts dead skin cells and sebum buildup from pores without the physical abrasion of scrubs or the sensitivity risk of strong chemical acids
- Rice Extract and Rice Bran Water brighten dull skin, nourish the surface with natural nutrients, and leave the skin looking clearer and more even-toned right after rinsing off
- Ceramide NP, Panthenol, Beta-Glucan, and dual Hyaluronic Acid repair and replenish the skin barrier after exfoliation — so the skin feels soft and hydrated rather than stripped or tight
Skin Types and Concerns
- Oily and acne-prone skin: HOCl reduces the bacteria and excess sebum that cause breakouts while Charcoal Powder clears pore congestion — a practical double-action for skin that clogs easily in Bangladesh's heat
- Sensitive skin: No strong acids, no alcohol, no fragrance in the exfoliating mechanism — Allantoin, Aloe Water, and Ceramide NP keep the formula calm and barrier-safe throughout the peel process
- Dull and uneven skin: Rice Extract and Rice Bran Water brighten the skin surface immediately after exfoliation, while Caffeine adds extra circulation support for a refreshed, more awake look
- Dry skin with rough texture: Panthenol and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid restore moisture right after exfoliation, so dry skin types can exfoliate regularly without the flakiness or tightness that most peels cause
