If you've scrolled TikTok this year, you've probably seen the medicube Smooth & Clear Body Care Set. It was the top-grossing product on TikTok Shop US in Q3 2026, and it helped make kojic acid + turmeric one of the biggest body care trends of the year. We make a kojic acid and turmeric routine too, so we get asked how the two compare. Here's a straight answer, using medicube's public product listings.
What's in the medicube Smooth & Clear Body Care Set?
Based on public listings, the medicube set includes five items:
- Kojic Acid Turmeric Resurfacing Toner (250 mL)
- Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Brightening Body Wash (400 mL)
- Kojic Acid Turmeric Pads (70 count)
- Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Jelly Mist Serum (100 mL)
- Hypochlorous Acid Body Peel Shot (280 mL)
Its listed retail price is $156, and you'll often see it discounted on TikTok Shop.
What's in the Solari Glow Ritual Set?
- Glow Bar: a turmeric and kojic acid cleansing bar for face and body
- Glow Pads (50 pads): soaked exfoliating pads for dull or uneven areas
- Glow Mist: a turmeric and kojic spray to refresh and prep skin
- Glow Serum: a concentrated turmeric and kojic acid serum
- Overnight Glow Mask (100 mL): a peel-off mask for 2–3 nights a week
The Glow Ritual Set is $99.95 (regularly $125), with free US shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Which one should you choose?
Choose medicube if you want a liquid body wash, more pads, and you're curious about hypochlorous acid in a body peel format.
Choose Solari if you want a full face-and-body ritual that includes a weekly peel-off mask, you like a long-lasting cleansing bar over a bottle of wash, and you'd rather pay less for a five-step set.
Both routines are built on the same core idea: gentle daily cleansing and exfoliation with brightening ingredients, done consistently. Whichever you pick, patch test first, build up slowly, and wear SPF on exposed skin during the day.
FAQ
Is Solari the same as medicube?
No. Solari Care is an independent brand and isn't affiliated with medicube. Both use kojic acid and turmeric, but the products, formats and prices are different.
Can I use Solari products with medicube products?
Yes, but don't double up on exfoliating steps on the same day. Using pads, a peel shot and a peel-off mask together can be too much for most skin.
