Medicube Super Cica Deep Cleansing Balm
Medicube's Super Cica Deep Cleansing Balm, built around a "Super Cica 7" complex, lists at Olive Young Korea for 29,400 KRW list / 18,910 KRW sale (100ml), but is not currently listed on Medicube's own official site (themedicube.co.kr) at all — worth watching in case it's being discontinued rather than simply restocked, checked 2026-09-03. Its declared ingredient list matches Olive Young Global's export listing almost exactly; one ingredient name differs slightly (PEG-10 Isostearate on Korea's label vs. PEG-10 Glyceryl Isostearate on Global's), which may be a translation/data-entry discrepancy rather than a real formula difference.

Is it OK for sensitive skin?
Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: fragrance is declared; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.
How much of the key actives does it contain?
Madecassoside: rank 26 of 40, brand-disclosed 1.5ppm.
Can I buy it outside Korea?
International shipping: Olive Young Global; Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea.
Is the Korean version different from the export version?
No known formula difference — Olive Young Global's declared 39-ingredient list matches the Korea disclosure almost exactly. One ingredient's name differs slightly (PEG-10 Isostearate on the Korea label vs. PEG-10 Glyceryl Isostearate on Global's); the reason for the naming difference is not confirmed, compared 2026-09-03.
Is this still being sold?
As of 2026-09-03, the product could not be found on Medicube's own official site at all — this may indicate discontinuation rather than a simple restock, but that is not confirmed.
Is it vegan certified?
Not confirmed for this specific product — a sibling product in the same line (a toner) carries a brand-applied "[비건]" text label on Medicube's own site, but that is marketing text, not an accompanying certification-body mark, and it doesn't appear on this cleansing balm's own listing.
