Medicube Jelly Cream with Collagen & Niacinamide

Overview

The hero ingredient is collagen, and you use it as your daily moisturizer. With a strong 4.3 out of 5 from 18k ratings, it is a well-liked pick. It is one of the gentler options in the range, so it suits most skin types including sensitive skin.

The summary above follows how Medicube markets this product. We also read the published ingredient list line by line, and it tells a different story: what the ingredient order actually says.

At a glance

How the ratings break down

Amazon's own star distribution for this product, read on 2026-10-28. We show the one-star share too, because an average alone hides it.

10% of these ratings are one or two stars. That is about typical for the Medicube range, where the median is 6%.

We cannot tell you what those reviewers said. Amazon.co.uk now requires an account to open the full review list, so the critical reviews are not readable from a public page. We would rather say that than guess.

What is collagen?

Topical collagen is a large hydrating molecule that holds water at the surface, making skin feel plumper and smoother rather than rebuilding your own collagen.

Ingredients, as listed by Medicube

Taken from Medicube's own product page on 2026-10-18. We have not verified it against a physical pack, and formulations change by market and batch. If an ingredient matters to you, check the pack itself. One more caveat for UK readers: Medicube has no separate UK site, so this list comes from its US product page. UK and EU ingredient lists can differ from the US one, so treat this as indicative until you have the pack in front of you.

What the ingredient order actually tells you

• Medicube publishes one 48-entry list for this jelly cream, and its structure is a gel rather than an emulsion: propanediol second and three more glycols behind it, with niacinamide ninth.
• Two solvents sit sixth and seventh, diethoxyethyl succinate and ethoxydiglycol. Both are the kind used to help other ingredients spread into the skin's surface layers, which suits a niacinamide product.
• Collagen sits 13th, then a long food-named run: garlic bulb at 18th, oat, Brazil nut, broccoli, tea seed, salmon egg at 23rd, tomato, spinach, blueberry and a wine extract. At these positions the run reads as a supporting blend, not a set of actives.
• Glycerin sits only 40th here; the glycols do the humectant work instead. The fragrance is the very last entry, 48th of 48.

Our read

A light, glycol-based gel with niacinamide in a working position and collagen at 13th, more a hydrating layer than a firming treatment. It suits oily and combination skin that wants a weightless moisturizer. If you react to fragrance, it is present, but only as the final entry.

Who should skip this

• Your skin is dry and wants richness. There is no butter or plant oil near the top of this list.
• Garlic and other food extracts have irritated your skin before. The garlic bulb extract comes in at 18th.
• You want a collagen treatment for firmness. Collagen at 13th works at the surface as a moisturizing ingredient here.

A note on how we read that list. Ingredient lists run in descending order of concentration, but only for ingredients above 1%. Below that, the order is up to the manufacturer, so a low position tells you something is present at a low level, not exactly how much. We do not guess at percentages. FDA labeling guide.
