What buyers actually say
We read a sample of the Amazon reviews for this product and describe the pattern in our own words. It is a sample, not a survey of all 5,781 ratings, and we do not reproduce customer reviews.
Almost every reviewer in our sample leads with the sensation. The spicules produce a prickling or stinging feeling on application that people compare to needles, and most frame it as tolerable and a sign the product is doing something. After that, the consistent report is smoother texture and softer, more even-looking skin, sometimes within days, with several layering a collagen product or a rich moisturiser straight afterwards. Users of the weaker version who moved up describe the stronger one as noticeably more intense. The dissenting review is precisely about that intensity: one buyer found their face too sensitive to touch for a week.
Praised for
Smoother, softer skin texture, often quickly
The prickly spicule sensation reads as effective to most
Helps following serums and creams absorb
Works well as a make-up base
Criticised for
Stinging or prickling can be intense and off-putting
One reviewer had a week of skin too sensitive to touch
Needs sparing use and a good moisturiser afterwards
How the ratings break down
Amazon's own star distribution for this product, read on 2026-09-30. We show the one-star share too, because an average alone hides it.

7% 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 exosomes?
Exosomes are cell-signaling particles used in skincare to support a more intensive, treatment-style boost to skin recovery and glow.
Ingredients, as listed by Medicube
Taken from Medicube's own product page on 2026-08-04. 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.
A caveat first: the only public ingredient list we have is Amazon's, and it is visibly garbled in the middle. One line reads "Hydrolyzing. The sponge ium silicate", clearly a mangled version of hydrolysed sponge and a silicate, so treat this list as incomplete and the positions below as approximate.
What is solid: the exosome story is a lactobacillus ferment (extracellular vesicles) sitting fifth, and niacinamide sits seventh. The garbled sponge entry is the spicules, the microscopic needles the product is named for.
Spicules are a physical mechanism, not a chemical one: thousands of tiny slivers that create micro-channels and a deliberate tingling, prickling feeling. That is the whole point of the product, and it is also exactly why it is not for everyone.
Our read
This is the range's most aggressive treatment: a physical spicule serum with a ferment-and-niacinamide backbone. Committed users use it as a weekly reset and accept the prickle. It is the single easiest product in the catalogue to buy by mistake, because nothing about the bottle says how physical the experience is.
Who should skip this
Your skin is sensitive, reactive, or barrier-compromised. Physical spicules on a weakened barrier is a genuinely bad idea.
You use a retinoid or exfoliating acids. Stacking spicules on top is a common route to a wrecked barrier.
You expect a serum-like experience. This tingles and prickles by design; if that sounds unpleasant, believe your instinct.
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.
