My summer skincare routine has never felt more hydrated than it does with two medicube staples that cost just $33 together.

When the weather heats up, my skin tends to become a little unpredictable. It can look shiny by midday, yet still feel dehydrated. Finding products that address both issues has always been a challenge, but I think I’ve finally found a solution.

This summer, I’ve been reaching for the same two products every day: the medicube PDRN Pink Glutathione Capsule Cleansing Foam and the medicube PDRN Pink Niacinamide Milky Toner. Together, they leave my skin feeling fresh, comfortable and noticeably more hydrated without stretching my budget.

I used to think a cleanser simply needed to remove sunscreen, makeup, and the day’s buildup, but I’ve learned that the right formula can make a huge difference in how my skin feels afterward. The medicube PDRN Pink Glutathione Capsule Cleansing Foam creates a rich, creamy lather that cleans thoroughly without leaving my face feeling stripped.

Instead of reaching for moisturizer immediately because my skin feels tight, I notice that my complexion stays hydrated after every wash.

I also love that it rinses away cleanly without any heavy residue. Even after wearing layers of SPF during hot, humid days, my skin feels refreshed rather than over-cleansed. It’s the cleanser I look forward to using morning and night.

Right after cleansing, I apply the medicube PDRN Pink Niacinamide Milky Toner. The lightweight, milky texture feels incredibly nourishing to my skin and it absorbs quickly without feeling sticky.

I like to pour a small amount into my hands and gently press it into my face, where it instantly gives my skin a hydrated, healthy-looking finish.

I’ve found that the toner helps my skin stay moisturized throughout the day, even when I’m spending hours outside or sitting in air conditioning. My complexion looks plumper, makeup applies more smoothly, and I don’t notice the dry patches that usually appear during the summer months.

Using both products together has simplified my routine. The cleanser gives me a clean, comfortable starting point, while the toner replenishes hydration immediately afterward.

The best part is the price. For just $33, I get two products that have completely changed how my skin feels. I’ve found myself sticking with this duo because it consistently leaves my skin looking hydrated, smooth and healthy.
