Medicube Super Cica Deep Cleansing Balm is a vegan Korean cleansing balm with a soft sorbet texture, designed to help remove makeup, dissolve sunscreen, cleanse accumulated sebum, purify pores, and soothe the skin in a gentle and effective cleansing step without harsh rubbing.
Its formula relies on an effective blend of Super Cica 7™, Centella Asiatica, LHA, Madecassoside, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Glycerin to support skin that suffers from makeup buildup, clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, excess sebum, or discomfort from harsh cleansing.
Upon contact with the skin, the balm transforms from a solid texture into a silky oil that helps break down waterproof makeup, sunscreen residue, and daily impurities. It then emulsifies with water to rinse off easily, leaving the skin looking purer, smoother, and more comfortable.

Usage Tips from Max Beauty:
- It is recommended to use it in the evening as a first step to dissolve makeup and sunscreen before cleansing.
- Do not use it on wet skin initially; it is best applied to dry skin to efficiently dissolve oils and makeup.
- For skin with blackheads, gently massage the nose and chin area for a short period without harsh rubbing.
- The emulsification step with water is very important so that the balm turns into a milky texture and is easy to rinse off without bothersome residue.
- For oily and combination skin, it is preferable to follow with a gentle water-based cleanser to help remove any residue.
- For dry skin, use a non-drying cleanser followed by a suitable moisturizer to maintain skin comfort.
- Avoid getting the product into the eyes, especially when removing waterproof eye makeup.
- Do not use it as a mask to be left on the skin; it must be rinsed off after massaging and emulsifying.
