The Stick That Made People Stop Reaching for Concealer
Concealer sits on top of a crease and settles into it by lunchtime. This works the other way round: a melting balm you swipe under the eyes so the skin itself looks fuller and better hydrated, and the line has less to catch on. Swipe, press it in, go.

What the clinical panel actually measured
Medicube ran two clinical panels on this balm. Every number below keeps its protocol attached, because a percentage without one is just a number.
- 38.6%Skin hydration, after a single useCUTIS Biomedical Research Center. Individual results vary.
- 36.2%Skin radiance, after a single useCUTIS Biomedical Research Center. Individual results vary.
- 12.1%Lip line appearance, after a single useCUTIS Biomedical Research Center. Individual results vary.
- 25.7%Under-eye hollowness appearance, after 2 weeksCUTIS Biomedical Research Center. Individual results vary.
- 10.7%Crow's feet appearance, after 2 weeksCUTIS Biomedical Research Center. Individual results vary.
These are measurements of appearance. A cosmetic balm changes how light meets the skin and how hydrated it is. It does not change what sits underneath, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something.
Three ingredients, three different jobs
-
5% Volufiline
The patented Sederma (France) ingredient the formula is built around, used at 5%. It is what the plumper-looking claim rests on.
-
Liposomal PDRN
A Korean clinic favourite, wrapped in liposomes so more of it gets past the surface instead of sitting on top of it.
-
200 Dalton collagen
Collagen cut small enough to absorb. Ordinary collagen molecules are far too large to go anywhere, which is why most collagen creams only sit there.
What you see tonight, and what takes weeks
This is where the disappointed reviews come from. Both effects are real, they just do not arrive together.
- First swipe Hydration and a glass-skin glow. The area looks fuller straight away. This is the effect you saw in the video.
- Same evening Fine lines catch the light less, so makeup sits better over them, or you skip it entirely.
- Around week 2 The measured changes begin: under-eye hollowness, crow's feet, smile lines.
- Week 4 and beyond Dark circles shift here if they shift at all, and for many people they barely do. Buy this for the hydration and the plumping. Treat anything on the circles as a bonus.
Written from what buyers report, including the ones who were disappointed. Most of them judged it before two weeks were up.
What buyers actually say
Love this stuff! Under eyes, lips, forehead, I like to use on my neck lines too.
It feels greasy while putting it on but then if you go to rub it in with your hands, it's not greasy. I have combination skin and I've loved this. On my desk or in my backpack everyday.
I just added this to my medicube skin care routine. I am a grandmother but don't want to look like it. 61 and trying to age gracefully.
So convenient. I bought 2. One to use at home and one for my purse.
I've been using it every night for just over a week. I haven't noticed a huge difference as far as getting rid of the dark circles. Maybe a tiny bit but not much. It is super hydrating though and helps a lot with my dry skin! Gives you that glass skin glow after you put it on.
How to use it
-
Twist up a small amount
Two or three passes is plenty for one area. Using more does not work faster, it just feels heavy.
-
Swipe, then press it in
It feels greasy for a few seconds. Press it in with your fingertips and that goes away. This is the single most common complaint and the single easiest fix.
-
Last step of your routine
After your serum and moisturiser. It also works over makeup for a midday touch-up, which is what the pocket format is for.
