Medicube EXOSOME CICA AMPOULE 30ML

This advanced ampoule harnesses the power of Exosome technology to deliver highly concentrated Centella Asiatica (Cica) deep into the skin. It's designed to provide rapid relief for sensitive, irritated, and compromised skin, helping to calm redness and rebuild a resilient skin barrier, making it an excellent recovery serum for skin stressed by the Mauritian sun and climate.

Values You Can Trust: Halal-Friendly* • Cruelty-Free* • 100% Authentic Guarantee

Dealing with skin that easily gets red, feels irritated, or reacts to everything can be frustrating. This ampoule is formulated to address that head-on.

• Who it's for: Anyone with sensitive, reactive, or easily irritated skin. It's also ideal for calming skin after sun exposure, after professional treatments, or when your skin barrier feels weak.
• What it is: A concentrated, lightweight serum that uses advanced 'Exosome' technology. Think of exosomes as tiny delivery vehicles that carry the soothing power of Cica (Centella Asiatica) deep into your skin where it's needed most.
• What to expect: An immediate calming sensation upon application. With consistent use, you can expect a visible reduction in redness, fewer flare-ups of sensitivity, and a stronger, more resilient skin barrier that feels comfortable and balanced.

Integrate this ampoule into a simple, effective routine:

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle face wash to create a clean base.
2. Treat with [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply 2-3 drops of the Exosome Cica Ampoule to your face and gently pat it in.
3. Seal & Protect: In the morning, follow with your daily sunscreen. In the evening, follow with a moisturiser to lock in the benefits.

Mindful Tip: Already using a calming serum? Finish it first before introducing this one. It's best to substitute rather than stack similar products to avoid waste and let your skin adjust properly.

A morning routine focused on calming and protection is ideal for sensitive skin.

Minimalist AM Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanse: Wash with a gentle, low-pH cleanser or simply rinse with lukewarm water.
2. Treat with [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply 2-3 drops of the Exosome Cica Ampoule to calm skin and prepare it for the day.
3. Protect: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). This is the most critical step to prevent sun-induced irritation and protect your results.

Optional Add-on: If your skin feels particularly tight or your sunscreen isn't hydrating enough, you can apply a lightweight, calming moisturiser before your sunscreen.

Your evening routine is the perfect time to focus on skin repair and recovery.

Minimalist PM Routine (3 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and impurities, then follow with a water-based foam or gel cleanser.
2. Treat with [THIS PRODUCT]: Apply 2-3 drops of the Exosome Cica Ampoule to soothe any irritation from the day.
3. Moisturise: Lock everything in with a barrier-supporting moisturiser. For an extra boost, consider the matching Medicube Exosome Cica Cream.

Optional Add-on: If you use other active ingredients like exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) or retinoids, use them on alternate nights to avoid overwhelming your skin. This ampoule is perfect for your "off-nights" to focus on recovery.

• Amount: Use 2-3 drops for the entire face. A little goes a long way.
• Frequency: Safe for daily use, both AM and PM. If you are new to active skincare, start by using it just once a day in the evening for the first week to allow your skin to acclimate.
• Method: After cleansing and toning, dispense the drops onto your fingertips or directly onto your face. Gently spread and pat into the skin until absorbed. Avoid rubbing on irritated areas.
• Wait Time: Allow about 30-60 seconds for it to absorb before applying your moisturiser or sunscreen.

Tips for Best Results:

• For extra soothing: On days your skin feels particularly stressed or red, you can apply a second thin layer on the affected areas.
• Post-procedure care: This ampoule is excellent for calming skin after mild exfoliation or professional treatments, but always follow your practitioner's advice and apply only to intact skin.

This is a daily soothing ampoule that plays well with others. Here’s how you can fit it into a routine that also includes exfoliants or retinoids.

Example Weekly Schedule (PM Focus):

• Monday: Exfoliation Night (e.g., AHA/BHA toner) + Soothing (wait 20 mins, then apply this ampoule).
• Tuesday: Recovery Night (This ampoule + Barrier Cream).
• Wednesday: Retinoid Night (Apply this ampoule first as a buffer, wait 10 mins, then apply retinol).
• Thursday: Recovery Night (This ampoule + Barrier Cream).
• Friday: Exfoliation Night or Recovery Night.
• Saturday: Retinoid Night or Recovery Night.
• Sunday: Deep Hydration (This ampoule + a sleeping mask).

Key Rule: This ampoule is your "recovery" step. Use it every night to keep your skin calm, especially on nights you are not using strong actives. If you experience irritation from an active, pause it and use only this ampoule and a barrier cream until your skin feels normal again.

Results are both immediate and cumulative. Patience and consistency are key.

• Immediately: Skin feels soothed, calmed, and hydrated. You may notice a reduction in tightness and the feeling of heat in irritated areas.
• Within 2-4 weeks: Visible reduction in baseline redness and flushing. Skin feels less reactive to environmental triggers like heat or wind. Breakouts may appear less inflamed.
• After 8+ weeks: The skin's barrier is noticeably stronger. You'll likely experience fewer episodes of sensitivity, and your skin will have a more even, calm, and healthy appearance.

• Myth: "If my skin is red, I should use harsh astringents or DIY remedies like lemon juice to 'dry out' the problem."
• Reality (Why This, Not That): Irritation and redness are signs of a compromised skin barrier, not something to be aggressively treated. [cite_start]Harsh products and DIY acids like lemon juice will only worsen the damage, leading to more inflammation and potentially post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)[cite: 2272, 2475]. This ampoule offers a safer, effective alternative by delivering targeted anti-inflammatory Cica ingredients to calm the root cause of the redness and help the barrier heal, rather than attacking the symptom with more irritation.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), and Beta-Glucan. Layering this ampoule with them will boost soothing and hydration.
  • Barrier Repair Ingredients: Ceramides, Squalane, and Cholesterol. Use this ampoule before a ceramide cream for maximum barrier support.
  • Niacinamide: Excellent pairing. Niacinamide also helps calm inflammation and strengthen the barrier, complementing the Cica.
  • Sunscreens: Essential. This ampoule helps calm sun-induced irritation, and sunscreen prevents it.
• ⚠️ Use With Caution:
  • Strong Actives (Retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, high-strength Vitamin C): This ampoule is a great partner to these actives, but it's best to alternate usage or use it as a buffer. Apply the Cica ampoule first to create a soothing base before applying a retinoid, or use it on "off-nights" from exfoliation to focus on recovery. Stacking them all at once can still lead to irritation.

• Excellent for:
  • Sensitive & Reactive Skin: This is its primary target. It helps reduce reactivity and build resilience.
  • Redness-Prone Skin: Helps calm flushing and persistent redness.
  • Compromised Barrier: Ideal for skin that feels raw, tight, or stings from over-exfoliation or environmental damage.
• Good for:
  • Acne-Prone Skin: Helps soothe the inflammation and redness associated with breakouts, promoting faster healing without clogging pores.
  • Combination Skin: The lightweight texture works well all over, calming any irritated patches without making oily areas greasy.
  • Dry Skin: Provides excellent soothing and hydration, but must be followed by a nourishing moisturiser to lock in the benefits.
  • Oily Skin: Helps balance the skin by reducing inflammation. Its lightweight feel won't add extra shine.

Key Actives Explained:

• Exosome (Centella Asiatica Callus Extracellular Vesicles): These are nano-sized vesicles derived from Centella Asiatica stem cells. They act as a sophisticated delivery system, protecting the active ingredients and carrying them deeper into the skin for enhanced soothing and repairing effects.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: The core soothing ingredient. [cite_start]Rich in Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid, it is scientifically proven to reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, and strengthen the skin barrier[cite: 3595].
• Niacinamide: A form of Vitamin B3 that helps brighten the skin, improve barrier function, and offers anti-inflammatory benefits, making it excellent for calming redness and evening out skin tone.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A powerful humectant and soothing agent that helps hydrate the skin and accelerate barrier repair.
• Ceramide NP: A skin-identical lipid that is crucial for maintaining a healthy skin barrier, preventing moisture loss, and protecting against irritants.

As with any product, a patch test is recommended for highly sensitive individuals.

This product is designed for sensitive skin, but it's always wise to be cautious with new products, especially those with advanced ingredients.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small (pea-sized) amount of the ampoule to a clean patch of skin on your inner arm, jawline, or behind your ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or swelling.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face.
4. If you experience any irritation, rinse the area thoroughly and discontinue use.

Precautions:

• For external use only.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Do not apply to broken, wounded, or eczematous skin.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: While the ingredients are generally considered safe, exosome technology is relatively new. There is insufficient published data on its use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We recommend consulting with your doctor before use.

• Texture: A lightweight, slightly viscous watery gel-serum.
• Feel: Spreads easily and absorbs quickly into the skin without a heavy or sticky feeling.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling hydrated, soothed, and plump with a subtle, healthy glow. It does not feel oily or greasy.
• pH: The formula is expected to have a skin-friendly pH of approximately 5.5 - 6.5, though the exact value is not published by the brand.

• Issue: My skin doesn't feel soothed enough.
  • Solution: Ensure the rest of your routine is also gentle. Are you using a harsh cleanser or over-exfoliating? This ampoule works best as part of a supportive, non-irritating regimen. Also, try applying it to slightly damp skin to enhance absorption.
• Issue: The product feels slightly tacky after application.
  • Solution: You might be using too much. 2-3 drops are sufficient for the whole face. Also, ensure you are patting it in until fully absorbed before applying your next product. Following up with a moisturiser will usually eliminate any residual tackiness.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results for my redness after a week.
  • Solution: While immediate soothing can be felt, visible reduction in chronic redness and barrier improvement takes time and consistent use. Stick with it for at least 4-8 weeks, and ensure you are using sunscreen daily, as sun exposure can perpetuate redness.

This ampoule is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• High Humidity & Heat: The lightweight, non-greasy formula is perfect for our humid weather. [cite_start]It provides soothing hydration without feeling heavy or sticky and helps calm heat-induced flushing and redness[cite: 2617, 2725].
• Sun Exposure: It's an excellent recovery serum to use in the evening after a day in the sun to soothe UV-induced inflammation and support skin repair. Remember, it does not replace sunscreen.
• Air-Conditioning: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments, your skin can become dehydrated and sensitized. This ampoule helps combat that by strengthening the barrier and replenishing moisture, preventing that tight, irritated feeling.

What are exosomes and why are they special?

Exosomes are tiny, naturally derived messengers that help cells communicate. In this ampoule, they are used as an advanced delivery system to carry the soothing Cica ingredients deep into the skin, making the product more efficient at calming irritation compared to standard formulas.

Can I use this ampoule if I have acne?

Yes, absolutely. It's an excellent choice for acne-prone skin because it helps to calm the inflammation and redness associated with breakouts. It's non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores.

How is this different from a regular Centella Asiatica serum?

While both are soothing, this ampoule uses exosome technology to enhance the delivery and potency of its Cica ingredients. It represents a more advanced, high-tech approach to calming the skin and may deliver faster or more noticeable results for stubborn sensitivity.

Is this safe to use after a chemical peel or microneedling?

It is designed for post-procedure care to calm skin. However, you should always follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your dermatologist or esthetician and only apply it to skin that is intact (not open or weeping).

• Best For: Individuals with sensitive, easily irritated, or compromised skin looking for a high-tech solution to reduce redness and build resilience.
• Key Benefits: Provides rapid soothing relief, visibly reduces redness over time, and strengthens the skin's natural barrier.
• Keep in Mind: It is a targeted treatment focused on calming and repair. For other concerns like deep wrinkles or severe hyperpigmentation, you may need to incorporate other actives. Due to its advanced technology, it may be priced higher than basic Cica serums.
