*Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body.
The Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro Mini is a compact, travel-friendly skincare device designed to dramatically enhance the absorption of your skincare products. Using gentle electrical stimulation, this tool helps your serums and creams penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness for a radiant, glowing complexion. It's the ideal solution for getting professional-level results at home or on the go, especially suited for the heat and humidity in Mauritius where lightweight, deeply absorbed skincare is key.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
If you feel like your expensive serums are just sitting on top of your skin, this device is your solution. It helps push those active ingredients past the skin's surface for better results.
- What it is: A portable beauty device that uses gentle electrical energy (electroporation) to create temporary micro-channels in the skin, boosting product absorption.
- Who it's for: Anyone looking to get more out of their current skincare routine, especially those with concerns about dullness, dehydration, and uneven texture. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and trouble-prone skin when used correctly.
- Key Benefit: Massively increases skincare product absorption (brand claims up to 562%), leading to a brighter, more hydrated, and visibly glowing complexion.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanse: Start with a clean, dry face.
- Apply Skincare & Use Device: Apply a generous layer of your favorite hydrating serum or gel. Turn on the AGE-R Booster Pro Mini and gently glide it over your face in circular or upward motions for 3-5 minutes until the product is absorbed.
- Moisturise (PM) / Sunscreen (AM): Follow up with your moisturizer to seal in the treatment. In the morning, always finish with SPF 30+.
Note: Already own a similar product? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Minimalist Routine (4 steps):
- Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
- Hydrating Serum: Apply a generous amount of a hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid or snail mucin).
- [THIS PRODUCT]: Use the Booster Pro Mini for 3-5 minutes to help the serum absorb completely.
- Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. In Mauritius' climate, a lightweight gel or essence sunscreen is ideal.
Wait times: Allow the serum to feel mostly absorbed before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):
- Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser, then a water-based cleanser).
- Targeted Serum/Ampoule: Apply your main treatment serum (e.g., for brightening, soothing, or hydration).
- [THIS PRODUCT]: Use the Booster Pro Mini for 3-5 minutes to maximize serum absorption.
- Moisturiser: Lock everything in with a suitable moisturiser for your skin type.
Texture rule: Apply your thinnest serum first, use the device, then apply your thicker cream last.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM or PM:
- Amount of Product: Apply a liberal amount of water-based serum or gel—enough for the device to glide smoothly without dragging.
- Apply to: Face and neck. Avoid the Adam's apple area. Use a lower intensity level around the sensitive eye and mouth areas.
-
Method: Turn on the device and select your intensity level (start at 1). Gently press the head to the skin and move in one of three ways:
- Watering: Slow circular motions for overall absorption.
- Boosting: Gliding upward and outward strokes for a lifting effect.
- Focus: Pressing and holding on a specific spot for 1-2 seconds for targeted care.
- Frequency: Recommended for use once daily for 3-5 minutes per session.
If-This / Then-That:
- Very oily T-zone? Use with a lightweight, oil-free hydrating serum.
- Very dry/AC? Pair with a rich hyaluronic acid or snail mucin essence and follow with a barrier cream.
- Sensitive/reactive? Start on level 1, use only 2-3 times per week, and pair with a calming, fragrance-free serum (like Centella or Panthenol).
- Using retinoids or acids? Do NOT use the device on the same night you apply strong retinoids or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA). Use the device on alternate "recovery" nights with hydrating products only.
Watchouts: A slight tingling or warmth is normal. If you feel a "zapping" sensation, you need to apply more serum/gel. If redness persists long after use, reduce frequency or intensity.
Safety: Avoid broken, irritated, or inflamed skin (e.g., active cystic acne). Stop if a burning rash develops. See the "Full Safety" section for a complete list of contraindications.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This device is best used with hydrating, soothing, or brightening serums. Avoid using it on the same night as strong exfoliants or retinoids to prevent over-stimulation and irritation.
Example week (PM focus):
- Mon: Retinoid night (NO device)
- Tue: Hydration night (Use THIS PRODUCT with a hydrating serum)
- Wed: Exfoliant night (AHA/BHA, NO device)
- Thu: Hydration night (Use THIS PRODUCT with a hydrating serum)
- Fri: Retinoid night (NO device)
- Sat: Soothing night (Use THIS PRODUCT with a calming/barrier-repair serum)
- Sun: Hydration night (Use THIS PRODUCT with a hydrating serum or sleeping pack)
Rule: Think of this device as a booster for your "recovery" and "hydration" nights. It makes your gentle products work harder, so your skin is stronger and better prepped for active nights.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skincare products will absorb noticeably faster and more completely, leaving less residue. Skin may feel plumper and look instantly more dewy or "glass-like" due to enhanced hydration.
- 2–4 weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a more sustained radiance and glow. Skin texture can feel smoother, and makeup may apply more evenly. The effects of your serums (e.g., brightening, calming) may become more apparent.
- 4–8+ weeks: Long-term benefits include improved overall skin health, better hydration levels, and potentially a reduction in the appearance of fine lines due to consistently optimized skincare.
*Results are based on brand claims and user experiences and may vary depending on individual skin type and the products used with the device.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Instead of: Rubbing serums in aggressively with your hands, hoping for better absorption.
- Use This: The AGE-R Booster Pro Mini, which uses electroporation technology to gently create temporary pathways into the skin. This is a controlled, non-invasive method to ensure active ingredients are delivered where they are needed most, which is more effective and gentler than physical force.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Water-based serums, ampoules, essences, and gels. Products rich in Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Peptides, Niacinamide, Vitamin C derivatives, Centella Asiatica, and other hydrating/soothing actives are excellent partners.
- Use Carefully With: Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid). While possible, enhancing the absorption of a low-pH, high-concentration Vitamin C can cause irritation for some. Use on a low setting and only if your skin is accustomed to the serum.
- Avoid Direct Combination With: Do not use at the same time as strong retinoids (Retinol, Retinal, Tretinoin) or chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA). The increased absorption can lead to significant irritation. Use the device on alternate days. Also avoid using with thick, oily balms or heavy creams, as the device works best with water-based formulas.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Combination: Excellent. Helps lightweight hydrating serums absorb fully without adding greasiness, which can help balance the skin.
- Dry / Dehydrated: Excellent. Maximizes the benefits of hydrating and barrier-supporting serums to combat tightness and flakiness.
- Normal: Great for boosting radiance and maintaining optimal skin health.
- Sensitive / Acne-Prone: Good, with caution. Use on the lowest setting and pair with calming, non-irritating serums. Avoid use over active, inflamed breakouts. It can be beneficial for speeding the healing of post-acne marks when used with appropriate serums.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This device doesn't treat concerns directly but enhances the products that do. It is most effective for:
- Dullness & Lack of Radiance: By boosting the absorption of brightening and hydrating ingredients.
- Dehydration & Tightness: By ensuring humectants like hyaluronic acid penetrate more effectively.
- Poor Product Efficacy: For those who feel their current routine isn't delivering expected results.
- Uneven Skin Texture: By promoting better hydration and product performance, leading to a smoother skin surface over time.

Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: I feel a "zapping" or stinging sensation.
Solution: Your skin is not wet enough. Apply a more generous layer of your water-based serum or gel to ensure proper conductivity and smooth gliding. -
Issue: The device is not turning on.
Solution: Ensure it is charged using a USB-C cable (DC 5V / 2A max). A full charge is needed for optimal operation. -
Issue: My skin feels dry after use.
Solution: You may be using a serum that isn't hydrating enough, or your skin is sensitive to the stimulation. Follow up immediately with a good moisturizer. Consider using the device with a more hydrating product or reducing the frequency of use. -
Issue: Product is pilling when I apply moisturizer/sunscreen after.
Solution: You may be using too much serum, or the serum is not fully absorbed. Use the device until the product is almost completely absorbed into the skin, and wait a minute before applying your next step.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: Perfect for Mauritius' climate. The device helps lightweight, hydrating gel serums absorb fully without leaving a sticky or heavy feeling on the skin, which is ideal for managing oiliness and preventing clogged pores in the heat.
- Drier Winter / AC Exposure: Equally beneficial. For those who experience dryness from indoor air-conditioning, this device helps drive hydrating and barrier-repairing ingredients deeper into the skin to combat moisture loss and keep skin plump.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product)
- Technology Rationale (Electroporation): This device uses electroporation, a technique that applies a controlled electrical field to the skin. This temporarily increases the permeability of the cell membranes, creating tiny, transient "channels" (nanopores) that allow large molecules in skincare products (like hyaluronic acid and peptides) to pass through the skin barrier more effectively than with topical application alone. This technology is used in medical fields for drug delivery.
- Brand Test: Medicube claims the device increases skincare absorption by 562%, a figure based on clinical testing conducted by Tego Science, a Korean research institute.
*Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.

Is This the Best Choice for You? (Mindful Alternatives) (other options to consider)
This device is an excellent choice if your primary goal is to maximize the absorption and effectiveness of your current skincare products for enhanced glow and hydration.
As we do not currently stock other electronic skincare devices, here are some alternative approaches to boosting results:
- For boosting glow and texture with a product: Consider a gentle chemical exfoliant like The Ordinary GLYCOLIC ACID 7% EXFOLIATING TONER 240ML (used 2-3 times a week, not with the device) to remove dead skin cells, which helps products absorb better on subsequent days.
- For intensive hydration without a device: Incorporate a sleeping mask like the LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK EX [BERRY] 20G (for lips) or SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA HYALU-CICA SLEEPING PACK 100ML into your routine 2-3 times a week. The occlusive layer helps ingredients penetrate overnight.
Mindful-use: If you already have a product you enjoy that addresses your concern, there’s no need to add another right now—finish what you have first.
Packaging, Sustainability & Practical Details (bottle, storage, and travel)
- Format: A sleek, lightweight, and portable handheld device. Comes with a USB-C charging cable.
- Hygiene: The metal head is easy to clean. After each use, wipe the head with a soft, dry cloth or a cotton pad with a small amount of alcohol (less than 85% ethanol). Do not submerge the device in water.
- Storage & Travel: Its mini size is perfect for travel. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)
Aggregated sentiment from Reddit users highlights a few key points:
- On Efficacy: Many users with sensitive skin report that the "Booster" mode is gentle and genuinely helps products absorb better, leading to a "glass skin" effect. One user noted, "I think it helps with skin turnover but I have to be very mindful of using barrier-supporting products with this." (Reddit, r/SkincareAddiction, 2025-03)
- On Sensation: A common tip is that if you feel a "zapping" sensation, you need more conductive gel or serum on your face. The "Air Shot" mode on the full-size Pro version (which this mini does not have) is often described as smelling like burning hair, but the Booster mode is generally considered comfortable.
- Fair Caveat: Some users question the high price point and feel the "glow" is simply from using more product to help the device glide. One reviewer mentioned, "I feel like the 'glass skin' people refer to looks like their skin is just oily. They pretty much slathered a bunch of product on their faces so of course our skin will shine like that after." (Reddit, r/SkincareAddiction, 2024)

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- 1. What's the difference between the Booster Pro Mini and the full-size Booster Pro?
- The full-size Booster Pro is a 6-in-1 device with additional functions like Microcurrent (MC), EMS (Derma Shot), and Electric Needles (Air Shot), plus different LED light therapies. The Mini focuses specifically on the "Booster" (electroporation) function for enhancing product absorption, making it a simpler, more portable, and more affordable entry point.
- 2. Can I use this device every day?
- Yes, the brand recommends using the Booster mode 1-3 times daily for 3-5 minutes per session. However, if you have sensitive skin, start with 2-3 times per week and see how your skin tolerates it.
- 3. Do I need to use Medicube's own serums with it?
- No, you can use it with any of your favorite water-based serums, ampoules, or gels. The key is to use a product with enough "slip" to allow the device to glide smoothly over the skin.
- 4. Is it painful?
- No, it should not be painful. You may feel a very mild tingling or warmth, especially on higher levels. If you feel any uncomfortable "zapping," it means you need to apply more product to the skin for better conductivity.
