The Best Care Products for Medicube Device

Medicube skin care devices such as the AGE-R Booster-H and the AGE-R Booster-Pro have gained a loyal following around the world. However, many users are unsure how to maximize the benefits of these devices - especially when choosing the right skin care products to use with them.

To make your decision easier, we have compiled a list of the best skincare ingredients and specific products (from Medicube and other trusted brands) that will help you get the most out of your AGE-R device.

Do I need to use any skin care products at all?

A common question is whether you need to use skincare products with the AGE-R device. The short answer: Not necessarily - but if you use the AGE-R Booster-Pro or AGE-R Booster-H on bare skin, you probably won't see the results you're hoping for. Why? These devices are designed to improve the absorption of your skincare products. Without products, there's nothing to "boost" the device - and that means you'll barely notice a difference.

The AGE-R Booster-H in particular relies on the support of skin care products. The AGE-R Booster-Pro, on the other hand, offers some additional features that can be useful even without additional products. As we already mentioned in our comparison of Booster-H and Booster-Pro, the latter not only offers electroporation (to improve product absorption), but also microcurrent, EMS, electric needles, LED and sonic vibration. The Air Shot mode of the Pro version is actually intended for use on dry skin, but for the other modes you will definitely get better results if you combine them with the right care products.

Choosing the right products

Choosing the right products for your AGE-R device starts with a clear understanding of your specific skincare goals. What are your main concerns? Do you struggle with acne, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles or dull skin? Do you already have a skincare routine that addresses these concerns? The answers to these questions are critical to ensuring you get the most out of your AGE-R device.

If you are new to the world of skin care, here is a quick overview of some important active ingredients:

1. Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin, fades dark spots and boosts collagen production. Perfect for fighting hyperpigmentation and dull skin.
2. Hyaluronic acid: A hydration miracle that attracts and retains moisture – ideal for plumping and smoothing fine lines.
3. Retinol: A powerful anti-aging agent that accelerates cell regeneration and improves skin’s appearance.
4. Glycolic Acid: An exfoliating alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that removes dead skin cells and reveals a smoother, more radiant complexion.
5. Niacinamide: A versatile ingredient that calms inflammation, reduces redness and strengthens the skin barrier – ideal for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

While these ingredients are very popular in Western skincare, they are far from the only options – especially when it comes to K-Beauty. Korean skincare is known for its innovative yet gentle yet effective ingredients, such as:

1. Snail Mucin: Known for its healing and hydrating properties, snail mucin helps repair skin and reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines.
2. Green Tea: A soothing antioxidant that protects skin from environmental damage and reduces inflammation.
3. Centella Asiatica: Also known as “cica,” this ingredient is famous for its soothing and healing properties – perfect for sensitive or irritated skin.
4. Bean Essence: Rich in proteins and nutrients, bean essence helps tighten and nourish the skin.
5. Galactomyces: A fermented yeast extract that brightens the skin, promotes hydration and improves the absorption of other products.

The best part? All of these ingredients are gentle enough to be used with AGE-R devices, yet powerful enough to deliver visible results.

What do you really need?

Now that you know a bit more about the different active ingredients in skincare, it's up to you to prioritize the ones that are most important to you. But beware: using multiple potent active ingredients at once, layering these products, and then enhancing their absorption with a Medicube device might be too much for many—especially those with sensitive skin.

So what do we recommend? If you're a beginner and just starting to incorporate skincare devices into your routine, it's best to choose serums, essences and creams with soothing and hydrating ingredients when using the AGE-R Booster-Pro or Booster-H.

A great example of this is the Medicube Triple Collagen line. These products contain ingredients such as hydrolyzed collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which when combined with the electroporation function of both devices, produce wonderful results.

product recommendations

Finally, we would like to give you specific recommendations from our store based on the skin problems you may be struggling with. We will address some of the most common skin problems and suggest products that are particularly effective in combination with the AGE-R devices.

Premature skin aging: Getting older is a privilege, but that doesn't mean you can't do anything about premature wrinkles and fine lines. These signs of aging are often caused by the loss of collagen in the skin. To restore your skin's elasticity, try products enriched with collagen, such as Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream or Numbuzin Collagen 73% Pudding Serum.

Dull skin: If your complexion looks tired and lackluster, we have just the thing for you! The best ingredients to combat dull skin are vitamin C and niacinamide. We recommend the perfect power duo for your skin: the Lolovegan Vita Glow Serum and the Vita Glow Cream. These products are packed with two forms of vitamin C, niacinamide and Tremella Fuciformis, a mushroom extract known for its hydrating benefits.

Acne and uneven skin: For those with acne-prone and uneven skin, it is important to be cautious when combining products with your Medicube devices. Many anti-acne products contain harsh active ingredients that can irritate the skin when used with the AGE-R devices. Instead, we recommend a gentler, more natural option like the Mixoon Bean Essence or Bean Cream. Enriched with fermented soybeans, these products also act as mild exfoliators to help you fight blemishes and improve skin texture.
