What it is
medicube Placenta Vita Serum is a face serum, sized 25ml, that suspends placenta extract and vitamin-rich beads in a lightweight fluid to support firmer, glowier-looking skin. Applied after toner, it smooths on easily and layers under moisturizer, aimed at loss of bounce and dullness.
Why it's different
It suspends placenta extract and vitamins in beads that break as you press them in, keeping the actives stable until use.
The formula pairs conditioning placenta extract with niacinamide, retinol, and peptides for firmness and glow.
It is a lightweight fluid, so it layers under moisturizer without heaviness.
Key ingredients

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. We only buy from official retailers and directly from the brands here in Japan. Never resellers, never grey market stock.
We are beauty lovers too, so we know the worry, especially with something you are putting on your face. Authenticity is 100% guaranteed by us.
When do I use this in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer. Warm a small amount in your hands and press it gently over the face.
What are the beads in the serum?
They hold placenta extract and vitamins and break as you press the serum in, which keeps those actives stable until the moment of use.
Does it contain retinol?
Yes. It includes retinol and retinyl palmitate alongside niacinamide and peptides. Introduce it gradually if you are new to retinol, and use sunscreen during the day.
Is this serum hydrating or is it for firmness?
Both. It is a lightweight fluid that layers under moisturizer, and it is aimed at firmness, bounce, and glow rather than heavy hydration on its own.
