Medicube TikTok Skincare Review
The Scotsman tests TikTok-famous Medicube creams, finding one delivers on its skincare promises.

Medicube's skincare range has taken TikTok by storm, with K-beauty fans praising its promise of brighter, bouncier skin and the coveted "glass skin" finish. The Scotsman put two of the brand's most popular products to the test: the Deep Vitamin C Capsule Cream and the Collagen Jelly Cream.
Both creams impressed during testing. They felt well-made, were enjoyable to use, and left skin looking refreshed. But one product clearly stood out from the other.
Collagen Jelly Cream Steals the Spotlight
The Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream was the clear winner in testing, according to The Scotsman. It delivered strong hydration and gave skin a healthier, plumper appearance. Crucially, it did all of this without leaving a greasy finish — a common complaint with heavier moisturizers.
"Collagen" here refers to a protein that keeps skin firm and elastic. As we age, our bodies make less of it. Creams like this aim to top up that effect from the outside. Testers found the jelly texture lightweight and easy to apply, making it a strong pick for daily use.
Vitamin C Capsule Cream Promises a Brighter Complexion
The Deep Vitamin C Capsule Cream targets dullness and uneven skin tone. Vitamin C is a well-known brightening ingredient. It works by slowing down the production of melanin, the pigment that causes dark spots. Northern Ireland World noted the cream has built a huge following online for exactly these claims.
Testers found the cream enjoyable to use and felt it lived up to its premium feel. It left skin looking refreshed after use. However, it did not quite match the instant impact of the Collagen Jelly Cream, which delivered more visible results in a shorter time.
TikTok Hype Meets Real-World Results
Medicube has built a loyal following through social media, particularly TikTok. K-beauty — short for Korean beauty — has a reputation for high-quality, science-backed skincare. Medicube fits squarely into that tradition. Glasgow World noted the brand's products have earned strong praise from fans online for their results.
The testing results suggest the hype is at least partly justified. Both creams performed well. Neither felt gimmicky or over-promised. For anyone chasing that glass skin look — smooth, clear, and almost reflective — the Collagen Jelly Cream appears to be the stronger starting point.
Power Grip Primer Rounds Out the Medicube Range
Beyond the two creams, Medicube's Power Grip Primer has also drawn attention. It is described as the star of the Power Grip range, designed to make your base makeup routine feel easy, affordable, and ready for any event. A primer creates a smooth surface so that foundation and other products go on more evenly.
Together, the range positions Medicube as a one-stop shop for a full K-beauty routine. The brand offers products at multiple price points, which broadens its appeal beyond hardcore skincare enthusiasts. For newcomers to K-beauty, the Collagen Jelly Cream and Power Grip Primer appear to be the safest entry points.
