Medicube Toners
Medicube’s toners cover everything from pore care and brightening to hydration and firming, each built around a specific active rather than one general formula. Explore the full range, the ingredients behind them, and how to find the right toner for your skin.
What Are Medicube Toners?
Medicube toners are liquid formulas applied with a cotton pad or the hands, designed to hydrate, balance, and prep the skin immediately after cleansing. Unlike a toner pad, they don’t carry a physical exfoliating texture instead, each toner delivers its active ingredients purely through the liquid formula itself.
Across the range, each toner is built around a different hero ingredient and concern: some focus on PDRN for regeneration and glow, others on collagen for firmness, kojic acid and turmeric for brightening, glutathione for radiance, or centella (cica) for soothing sensitive skin.
Key Ingredients in Medicube Toners
Across the range, Medicube toners draw on several families of active ingredients, each tied to a different concern:
- PDRN (Sodium DNA / Polydeoxyribonucleotide) — supports skin regeneration, barrier strength, and a “glass skin” glow, found in the PDRN Pink Niacinamide Milky Toner and PDRN Pink Cica Soothing Toner.
- Collagen — supports firmness and elasticity, found in the Triple Collagen Toner.
- Kojic Acid & Turmeric — target dark spots and uneven tone, found in the Kojic Acid Turmeric Resurfacing Toner.
- Glutathione — a brightening antioxidant, found in the AGE-R Glutathione Glow Toner.
- Centella Asiatica (Cica) — soothes and calms sensitive skin, found in the Exosome Cica Toner and PDRN Pink Cica Soothing Toner.
- Salicylic Acid (BHA) — controls sebum and refines pores, found in the Zero Pore Toner and Red Toner 2.0.
Most formulas also include Niacinamide for tone and barrier support. Exact blends and concentrations vary by product , see individual product pages for full formulations.

How to Use Medicube Toners in Your Routine
Toners are designed to slot in right after cleansing, before the rest of your routine:
- Cleanse — start with a clean, dry face.
- Apply — pour a small amount onto a cotton pad, or apply directly with clean hands, then gently pat or sweep across the face.
- Follow up — continue with the rest of your routine — serum, moisturiser, and SPF in the morning.
Most Medicube toners are suited to daily use, both morning and evening.
