Why Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum comes out ahead

Where Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum really shines is hydration efficacy, scoring 9.8 compared to Dr Teal's Body Lotion's 7.4. With Dipropylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, and Glycerin in its top ingredients, Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum delivers stronger moisture-binding capability.

Active Ingredient Strength is another area of separation. Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum scores 6.7 here versus 5.9 for Dr Teal's Body Lotion. That difference comes down to how each formula is built — the ingredient list tells the story.

Medicube Deep Vita A Retinol Serum brings Niacinamide, Allantoin, and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate as actives, while dr Teal's Body Lotion relies on Ceramide Np, Ceramide Ap, and Ceramide Eop. Both approaches have merit, but the positioning and supporting ingredients make the difference.
