You press a serum in, and ten minutes later you can still feel where it sits. The question this device answers is a narrow one: how much of what you already own actually gets past the first layer, and what else can a handheld do on the same five minutes.
A rechargeable facial device, not a product you spread. Medicube names six modes on it, and they are the modes printed on the handle rather than a marketing list.
- Booster, the absorption mode: a mild current pushes the serum you have just applied rather than leaving it sitting on the surface. This is the mode the whole line is built around and the one most people use every session.
- MC, the microcurrent mode: a low current runs through the surface, for the look of definition along the jaw and the cheekbone.
- Derma Shot, the muscle mode: short pulses work the face the way an EMS belt works a body, aimed at how taut the lower face looks.
- Air Shot, the fine-pulse mode: very short electrical micro-pulses over the areas where a serum normally struggles, the sides of the nose and the forehead.
- Sonic vibration and LED: vibration for the massage pass, light for the finishing pass. They are the gentle end of the device and the right place to start.
A contact sensor cuts the current the moment the head leaves skin, which is what stops a beginner from stinging an eyelid by accident. You work with your own serum or essence. There is no branded conductive gel to buy, and that is a real part of the running cost of a device at this price.
Recommended for a routine that is already settled rather than one still being built, normal to combination skin, and anyone who wants to keep doing at home what they already pay for occasionally.
