Medicube Booster Pro: The Right Product Pairing
The Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro is not a toy, but a true professional tool for facials – and that's precisely why proper application is crucial.
It increases your skin's permeability so much that products no longer just sit on the surface, but truly absorb. That's great... as long as you combine the right products with the right modes.
Instead of "just use any serum," we therefore reviewed the clinical data, tested it ourselves, and matched each mode with the Medicube bestsellers that truly make a difference in practice.
Air Shot Mode
Basically, the reboot button for your skin.
A look at the data:
-
Skin permeability: +791%
-
After 2 weeks: -34.5% fewer visible pores and -27.4% less flakiness.
This mode is applied to completely dry skin and creates microscopic channels in the epidermis.
Here, it's not directly about glow, but about clearing blockages, refining skin texture, and creating the foundation for everything that follows to truly work.
The golden rule (no exceptions!): Only use this mode 2–3 times a week and always on clean, dry skin. No toner, no serum, NOTHING. Just your dry skin.
What you should do immediately afterwards: As soon as these micro-channels are open, your skin basically just asks, "Okay... now what?" This is the perfect moment to gently remove dissolved residue and soothe the skin.
Our Seoul Onni Favorite:
After the Air Shot, gently go over your face with the textured side. This refines the texture, removes any remaining residue, and helps to immediately leverage that impressive 791% absorption boost – without stressing the skin.
Booster Mode
If glow had a light switch, it would be this mode.
What the data says:
-
Skin permeability: +785%
-
+11.4% more radiance in just 2 weeks.
This mode is primarily about delivering active ingredients deep into the skin – exactly where they can really make a difference.
This is why you suddenly hear comments like, "Have you changed your routine?"
Here, texture is more important than ingredients: You need something with "grip" – nice and smooth and rich, not watery.
The device needs to glide well over the skin, and your skin needs a formula that hasn't evaporated halfway through.
Our Seoul Onni Favorite:
With 14.5% pure Vitamin C, this ampoule is already a powerhouse. When you add the 785% boost, pigment spots and a dull complexion don't stand a chance.
If Vitamin C is too intense for you or you want the ultimate "Mochi Skin" look, this serum is your match. It is extremely viscous and stays on the skin long enough for the device to glide perfectly.
MC (Microcurrent) Mode
Subtle lifting, real structure.
What the data says:
-
+35.9% more volume on the forehead
-
-24.2% less pronounced laugh lines
-
+5.46% higher skin density after 2 weeks.
This mode is less about immediate glow and more about the long-term "architecture" of your skin. Think plumper, more resilient skin that simply maintains its shape better over time.
Perfect for plumping up fine lines around the eyes, laugh lines, or the forehead area.
What your skin needs here: Regenerative ingredients – peptides, active ingredients that act like growth factors, and formulas that strengthen the skin barrier and respond optimally to microcurrent.
Our Seoul Onni Favorite:
PDRN (often referred to as "salmon DNA") combined with peptides and microcurrent creates an effect that almost resembles a filler. This duo works particularly well when skin is slowly becoming a bit tired.
A professional hack for microcurrent: Apply this toner as a base under your serum. It is much richer than a normal facial toner and ensures, thanks to its triple collagen power, that the skin remains optimally hydrated during the MC treatment.
Derma Shot Mode (EMS)
Because your face has muscles too.
What the data says:
-
-15.3% less volume in eye bags
- +4.89% more elasticity in the jawline after 2 weeks
Here, it's about targeted muscle stimulation. In this mode, the focus is not on product absorption, but on contouring: It lifts the jawline and helps to reduce facial puffiness.
Don't skip the right cream: EMS needs a rich, conductive base.
Light gels are not enough here, and on dry skin, the application quickly becomes uncomfortable. So make sure to choose a thick, rich cream for this mode.
Our Seoul Onni Favorite:
This is the cream you see in almost all tutorials – and for good reason. The texture is like a firm jelly that doesn't immediately melt away under the EMS mode.
It's firm enough for perfect conductivity, but silky enough for an upward facial massage. While the device works deeply, the triple collagen complex on the surface provides more firmness.
Pro Tip
Consistency beats intensity. Use Booster, MC, and Derma Shot modes daily for about 5–10 minutes. You should only plan the Air Shot mode 2–3 times a week.
And most importantly: If you're introducing strong active ingredients like Vitamin C, always start at Level 1 – your skin will thank you.
Glass skin doesn't mean doing more. It means doing the right things in the right order.
