medicube Azelaic Acid Capsule Foam Cleanser, 4.23 oz — Gentle Daily Foam for Oily, Troubled Skin with Niacinamide & Ceramides

medicube Facial Cleanser Azelaic Acid Capsule Foam Cleanser is a gentle daily foam that uses micro azelaic capsules plus calming botanicals to cleanse excess sebum, calm stressed skin, and help preserve moisture without harsh stripping.

This lightweight Korean-formulated foam blends micro-encapsulated azelaic acid with niacinamide, ceramides and soothing plant extracts to target oily and troubled skin during routine washing. The capsules release active azelaic technology as you lather, while panthenol, allantoin and centella help comfort skin and maintain barrier function. It’s presented in a 4.23 oz pump bottle designed for daily bathroom use and is tested for non-comedogenic performance.

How does the capsule technology work while I cleanse?

The cleanser contains micro-sized azelaic acid capsules that break under light pressure while foaming, delivering the ingredient during the rinse phase rather than as a separate leave-on product. This allows targeted action on excess sebum and visible redness without prolonged occlusion on skin.

• Micro capsules activate when massaged to release azelaic acid.
• Foam texture distributes capsules gently across the skin.
• Rinse-off format minimizes prolonged exposure but supports targeted cleansing benefits.

Will it dry out my skin or harm my moisture barrier?

medicube’s formula balances cleansing with hydration: ceramides and vitamin E help support the skin’s moisture barrier, while glycerin attracts water to maintain softness. The foam is designed to remove oil and impurities without the tight, stripped feeling that harsher cleansers can cause.

• Ceramides and glycerin for barrier support and hydration retention.
• Vitamin E contributes antioxidant support and skin comfort.
• Non-stripping foam texture suitable for daily use.

Which active and calming ingredients are included?

Alongside the azelaic acid capsules and niacinamide for uneven tone and sebum control, the cleanser features tea tree, panthenol and centella asiatica to soothe and comfort skin that looks stressed. Allantoin calms irritation while botanical components help reduce the appearance of redness due to dryness.

• Niacinamide to support even-looking skin tone.
• Tea tree for its purifying botanical properties.
• Panthenol, allantoin and centella for calming and barrier support.

How should I use this cleanser in my routine?

Use morning and evening as the first step of your skincare routine: pump to create a creamy foam, massage onto damp skin focusing on oily or congested areas, then rinse thoroughly. It complements spot treatments and serums by preparing skin with a balanced, comfortable base.

• Apply to damp face, massage gently, then rinse well.
• Works before serums and moisturizers; suitable after spot care.
• Dermatologically tested for non-comedogenicity; results vary by individual.

Who is this for: This cleanser is formulated for people with oily, combination, or troubled skin who want a gentle but targeted daily wash. It’s a good match for those seeking to manage excess sebum, soothe visible redness related to dryness, and support the skin barrier while using a rinse-off azelaic delivery system. If you prefer non-stripping texture, want botanical calming agents, and use other actives like niacinamide, this product fits within a balanced Korean skincare routine.
