On the fingertip, it wobbles like jelly; on the skin, it melts into a fresh layer that does not feel greasy. The Collagen Jelly Cream is a clear gel cream, in a 50 ml jar, applied as the last step, morning and evening. It leaves that bouncy, luminous look you want before make-up.
A collagen cream that plumps the look of the skin
Medicube highlights three ingredients, each with its own role:
- Hydrolysed collagen: even when broken into fragments, it stays on the surface. It does not restart the skin's collagen production, but it forms a veil that holds in water, smooths the relief and gives skin that feels bouncier to the touch.
- Niacinamide: for radiance, an even complexion and the comfort of the skin barrier.
- Squalane: a light emollient, close to the skin's own lipids, which softens without a greasy effect.
The effect is immediate and renewed with each application: this is a hydration and comfort cream, not a deep-acting product. Depending on the retailer, the formula also includes adenosine and plant extracts. Several analyses of the ingredients list flag fragrance: check the composition if your skin is sensitive to it.
How to use it
Morning and evening, at the end of your routine, just before the morning sun protection. Take a hazelnut-sized amount, warm it between your fingers and smooth it from the centre of the face outwards, then down onto the neck. On skin that is still a little damp from toner, it spreads more easily. In the evening, a thicker layer can serve as a night mask. It layers easily over a vitamin C serum, a retinol or acids: the active first, the cream afterwards.
Which skin it suits
Normal to combination skin, oily skin that wants water without a film, dehydrated skin that feels tight by the end of the day. Very dry skin will find it a little light on its own: layer it over a hydrating serum or choose a richer texture among the Korean face creams. The other products in the Medicube range complete the collagen routine.

Can it be applied under make-up?
Yes, it is one of its strengths: it absorbs quickly and leaves a supple base. Wait a minute before applying foundation.
Is it suitable for oily skin?
Yes, its gel texture leaves no film. In summer, a thin layer is enough.
What is the difference from the Collagen Glow Booster Serum?
