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.

6% 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 kojic acid and turmeric?

Kojic acid is a brightening agent that targets dark spots and uneven tone, often paired with turmeric extract for an added clarifying effect.

Ingredients, as listed by Medicube

Taken from Medicube's own product page on 2026-08-06. 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

• The base is sea buckthorn water rather than plain water, with isopropyl myristate second and niacinamide fifth of 43. Turmeric sits 11th, which is a genuinely working position for a headline ingredient in this range.
• Kojic acid, the other name on the front, sits 31st. So of the two brightening ingredients in the title, one is a real presence and the other is a label note.
• Collagen at 24th and nine hyaluronic entries from 25th to 40th form the hydration layer. Vitamin C appears twice, as a derivative at 29th and as ascorbic acid at 41st.
• No fragrance entry appears, which suits a mist you may spray over makeup during the day.

Our read

Better than most of the mists in this range, mainly because turmeric at 11th actually earns its place on the label. Kojic acid at 31st does not. As a format, a mist is refreshment rather than treatment, so buy it for the ritual and take the turmeric as a genuine bonus rather than the reason.

Who should skip this

• You are buying it for kojic acid. It sits 31st of 43.
• You want a treatment step. Mists are comfort formats, whatever sits in them.
• Turmeric-containing products have stained your pillowcases before. At 11th there is a meaningful amount 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.
