User Experiences
Users in their 40s, 50s, and 60s have reported significant anti-ageing results. One 48-year-old reviewer said: "Wow I am obsessed with medicube. This moisturiser leaves your skin feeling amazing. It smells amazing too. I’m 48 and I’ve had so many compliments about my skin since using medicube. Highly recommend." Another user, aged 60, commented: "I saw this product while scrolling Amazon and thought I would give it a try while on special offer. Well, it has not disappointed. My skin’s appearance looks brighter and is so moisturising."
Criticisms and Alternatives
However, one 46-year-old user found the cream too greasy: "Unfortunately, this cream on my face is very greasy, heavy, cannot be absorbed, and leaves my skin sticky. I use it now on my body and won't buy it again." For those seeking a gentler option, the Beauty Of Joseon Dynasty Cream 50ml, currently £16.79 at Superdrug, offers a fragrance-free formula with rice bran water, ginseng water, squalane, and niacinamide. Another alternative is the Medik8 Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF50+, priced at £47.20 at LookFantastic, which provides protection from UVA, UVB, blue light, and infrared light.
