Formulation Deep Dive

The Medicube Collagen Niacinamide Jelly Cream is a high-performance water-based humectant gel designed to provide intense surface hydration and barrier support. The carrier system utilizes a high concentration of glycols, including Propanediol, Dipropylene Glycol, and Butylene Glycol, to ensure rapid penetration and a non-greasy, "jelly" skin feel while maintaining moisture retention. The formula leverages a synergistic active complex of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for barrier fortification, Squalane to mimic skin-natural lipids and prevent transepidermal water loss, and a tiered collagen system—incorporating Collagen, Hydrolyzed Collagen, and Soluble Collagen—to improve topical elasticity and surface smoothness. Structural integrity and the unique jelly viscosity are achieved through a robust polymer network featuring Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Beheneth-25 Methacrylate Crosspolymer and Xanthan Gum, while the system is stabilized by a multi-functional preservative-boosting blend of 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin.
