As for their sales “main force,” it has to be the wildly popular sleeping mask, with monthly sales of nearly $716,200 (about RMB 5.25 million).
After all, for modern people, “staying up late and using the most expensive mask” has become routine (this applies to young people worldwide). Plus, this mask features rinse-free skincare, directly catering to the needs of lazy and night-owl consumers, so it’s no surprise that sales are booming.

Additionally, Medicube’s pricing strategy is quite sophisticated. Their products range from $1.99 to $885.00, with an average price around $105.50. Although not cheap, for consumers seeking high-quality skincare, this price range is considered “worth investing in.”
In the end, skincare is something that hurts when you spend money, but feels great when you use it.
With the boost from video marketing, Medicube leverages influencers to showcase user experiences and skincare results, allowing consumers to see real feedback and easily get “influenced.”
It can be said that this brand not only has solid products, but also understands user psychology perfectly. Their impressive sales are a natural result.

For example, influencer @soo.shops had a particularly outstanding video. She started by saying, “Finally got the same mask as Hailey Bieber!” Actually, it’s Medicube’s Collagen Salmon Mask. In the video, she applies the mask while sharing her experience, showing a “genuine love” attitude. This “celebrity effect + real experience” approach works instantly.
This video quickly reached 1.7 million views and 29,700 likes. The comments section was lively: “Alright, I’m sold!” “Looks really good” “I need this!” Clearly, this celebrity-driven strategy is very effective.
