   Read this for lots of information
   Holy glowing skin, batman! This thing actually delivers. After one use, my skin is tighter, smoother, and it looks so healthy. After 2 uses, a very thin layer of my skin peeled off, revealing fresh healthy skin. After 3 uses, I have achieved ‘glass skin’. I don’t want to sound too much like an ad, but I really am impressed by this thing. The instructions aren’t very clear, so here’s what I’ve found. It has 4 modes:Booster: This mode uses electroporation, which is a technique that uses electric pulses to temporarily alter the permeability of cell membranes for better absorption of product. It physically opens the cell membrane to deliver the skincare product directly into the cell. It feels like a light buzz every 1 second.MC Line: This mode uses microcurrent, which is similar to the current that the body produces within its cells. It’s used for ‘volumizing’ fine lines. I found that creates a significant plumping effect, which completely erases (temporarily) fine lines, and it greatly decreases deep wrinkles. It feels like suction with a light buzz.Derma Shot: This mode uses EMS, or Electrical Muscle Stimulation, which uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate facial muscles. It will cause your muscles to contract with each pulse to tone and strengthen them. It feels like a very light static shock, and can cause your muscles to twitch (blinking eyes, lip twitch, etc) and can send tingling up the nerves. It feels nice and afterward your muscles feel relaxed.Air Shot: This mode uses mild electrical currents to exfoliate the skin. It’s like microneedling without the needles. It feels like a light buzz. You use it on clean dry skin, and apply skincare products afterward. This one caused peeling the next day.All modes use LED and sonic vibration. Also, I use level 5 on all modes, and have never felt any discomfort or pain.Before you use each mode (except Air Shot mode), slather on your skincare products, then do Booster mode, then MC, then Derma Shot. They work best with products that are very wet, so you may want to use extra product, or use something thick and sloppy like a mask. I use the collagen jelly, which is perfect with this device. It’s water-based, so as it absorbs into the skin and gets less ‘wet’, I’ll mist a bit of water over it then continue with the device.The instructions aren’t great, so I recommend getting the AGE-R app. It gives video tutorials on how to use the device in each mode.You’re supposed to wipe it clean with a wet wipe or soft cloth. Because it’s something I rub all over my skin, I use isopropyl alcohol to disinfect it.

   So cool!
   I’ve only used it once so far. So far so good, I just pray I got a good device that will last a long time.I started out on level 3 and used all 4 modes. I did some YouTube research first.This thing is really cool! Level 3 was painful to ise on my chin though, I had to skip that area and go back and do my chin on level 1. It made my teeth hurt.On my cheeks it gave me a slight suction feeling but my forehead was weird! At first I kept stopping because it felt like I was pulling my hair. After I put on a hairband and confirmed there was no hair being pulled, I realized it was the sensation created by the current.The only con I have right now is the buttons are in an inconvenient spot. I kept accidentally turning the device off while in use.I look forward to using it with different products.

   Great
   I’ve used it for two weeks now, and my skin looks tight, glowy and with less lines and dehydration. I’m using it with the collagen jelly.I did have a bit of a scare since it ran out of battery and reading the charging specs, I used a small 5v charger and it did nothing, then a 15v and also nothing. The device was dead and not charging. I even activated a return cause I thought it was defective. But I gave a last try with an iPhone 20v charger and it finally worked and is doing fine.There is always the problem with electronics that they don’t come with the charger and you end up guessing or even “burning” your devices by not using the appropriate charger.

   Having mixed feelings
   I was really enjoying the product, especially derma shot mode, apparently working out your face muscles. However, after one week of use, my skin barrier started to get damaged and my glass smooth skin started to get rough. I might use it too aggressively, mostly at higher intensity and applied to much product to make it slide. At some point, my skin has started not to like it and breaking out. I am not sure if I decrease the intensity, it will maintain my skin condirion. A bit afraid to go back

   Best facial magic wand ever!!! K-glass skin glow in a week!!
   Amazing!!! I got this for facials and it has made such a difference in just a week!! My complexion is looking better and my acne scars are fading and it’s just a miracle tool! Definitely use this with serums! I love how it is battery powered so I can get more than one use and it doesn’t need to be plugged in. I tried all 4 modes and they’re all great!! The secret 5thMode (purple) is unlocked in the app!

   It has App to help you use it.
   Got this product based on a friend’s recommendation. It’s really cool and helpful that it comes with an app to guide you and track your progress. I’ve been using it for a few days now and it feels great so far

   Works for pores!
   I have been using it for a month. I am targeting my pores around my nose and chin. I definitely noticed a difference. They are much smaller however you must be diligent about using it. It will not work if you keep skipping the routine. I use other options for boosting my skin and wrinkles – I don’t see a difference yet.

   I’ve been using the Medicube 8, and I noticed a big difference in just a single day of use! My skin immediately felt smoother and looked more refreshed, almost like I’d had a professional treatment.The device is easy to use, with clear instructions and multiple modes to target different skin concerns.Highly recommend!

    Wow, where do I start ?…. Firstly I’m impressed by this little powerhouse. I’m 57 with skin concerns of lack of firmness and the usual…. Wrinkles. ( thankfully I don’t have many ). As I’m lucky enough to be able to have injectables twice a year.To be honest , I did not expect to get such results as I have within the timescale of usage . It was almost instant.This machine has many functions and I love them all.The Machine : The Good Bits1: Nice portable size2: It announces the amount of minutes you’re using on each area . This is a really nice touch as a lot of higher end brands don’t . It’s particularly helpful so that you don’t overuse it in one area . And it also gives you a guide to work all your areas of concern in an equal measure.3: Helps your skin care work harder, by the way of aiding their absorption.4: The actual treatment time is reasonable. It’s not lengthy like some facial devices . That can become tiresome if you’re a person whose time is very limited.5: Charging time is quick.6: The App can be useful.The not so good bits :There’s not many, in fact , it’s only a minute little quirk. And that’s when your using the device , sometimes your fingers can mistakenly repress the function buttons that takes you back to the start of your programme . I make sure I hold the device in a certain way to avoid this .IS IT WORTH THE MONEY ?… YESAs I said , it’s a little powerhouse. But it’s like everything, you have to be consistent to get the results you want. I noticed and felt mine pretty from the start. Felling toned and brighter skin. I’m happily using mine on a daily basis .

    This device came up as one of the recommendations when I was looking skincare serums. I read the reviews, pros and cons, from different websites. I was a bit put off with all the young influencers but decided to give it a go as it was on sale. I have now used this for about 3 weeks and think this device justifies a thorough review.Unlike all the videos featuring people in their 20s and early 30s, I am nearly 50. I do have pretty good skin with not many lines, but that’s genetics. It can be dull, with pores around the nose, and I have puffy bags under my eyes as I work crazy hours. I had some skin tags removed by laser for the first time. Got freaked out by the hyperpigmented scars I developed after. I have bought radiofrequency, LED and microcurrent devices before – use it maybe for a week or two, then just don’t touch it again as not sure it does anything.The Booster Pro is pretty simple to use. It retains its charge very well with a useful battery indicator. I had to charge it once so far with daily use. As with any new toy, I went a bit nutty in the first few days, and overdid it. Then I figured out a routine that works for me.I went with the recommended routine of which mode to use daily but only do that at night when I have more time. In the morning, I only use the Booster mode. I tried the different strengths and find 3 works best for me, but probably could go to 4 on the microcurrent mode. I don’t use it for a full 5 minutes. Initially, I find that I have to use a lot of serum as it gets absorbed pretty quickly and I have to apply more to use the device for 5 mins. My skin was probably also pretty dehydrated at first. Now I start layering, using my normal 3 drops of serum and using the Booster mode in a stroking motion for about 1 minute to enhance absorption after each layer. I use Microcurrent and DermaShot 2-3 times a week as per recommended routine. What is not made very clear, but I found after reading more about it, Microcurrent is only effective with water-based/gel. I incorrectly used it with some squalene-based serums in the first week. I tend to use these 2 modes for 5 minutes each as I don’t do it daily, and also because it is pretty relaxing. I also use AirShot twice a week on clean dry skin as recommended with a gentle patting motion as I find that worked best for me.With this routine, I found that after 2 weeks, I have a radiant glow but not because my forehead/nose becomes oily! My pores are significantly smaller. The post-laser scars has plumped up and smooth out, but the hyperpigmentation is still there at present. My undereye bags are smoother, but still there. Can’t comment much about facial lines as I don’t have much to begin with. Also can’t comment about any lifting effect. For me, this is a good buy that improved effectiveness and absorption of serums as I no longer have pilling of products. The videos seem to show people using so much products and massaging it in but I find that I did not need to do that but still have good effect.
