I’ve lost count of how many friends, family members, and coworkers I’ve turned on to the brand Medicube

The moment the word spreads at a dinner, at a party, or among my mother’s friends that I’m a beauty editor, the first question someone asks me is, “What is your favorite product?” Not to sound cliché, but picking a favorite product would really be like picking a favorite child—not to mention that different products hold different weight in my routine, depending on whether they’re for skincare , makeup, or hair. But time and time again, when somebody asks, there’s one K-beauty brand that comes to mind.

You’ve likely seen Medicube on TikTok and wondered whether it’s a gimmick or truly worth the hype. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is, without a shadow of a doubt, worth all the praise it receives. The first item that got me hooked on the brand was the viral Age R-Booster Pro tool. New York dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Dendy Engelman first introduced me to the six-in-one tool back in 2023, and I have used it every morning since then. It’s an all-in-one facial tool that feels akin to a professional treatment, with microcurrent for sculpting, electric muscle stimulation for firming, “electroporation” technology to help products penetrate deeper, and four types of LED therapy.

Since I can’t get enough of devices, I recently incorporated the RF Ultra Tone 40.68 , Medicube’s at-home radio-frequency device , into my routine too. After a few days of using it, I noticed my skin looked firmer, plumper, and tighter—almost like I went to my dermatologist’s office daily to get a radio-frequency treatment. What I love most is that these tools are intuitive, a breeze to use, and take up less than five minutes in your routine.

My favorite part of both devices is that they can be used without any of that gloopy, messy conductor gel. I use my regular skincare routine, including a few Medicube formulas. My top two favorite products to use any day, but especially in conjunction with the devices, are the Collagen Jelly Cream and PDRN Pink Peptide Serum . The Collagen Jelly Cream is a thick, hydrating gel cream that leaves skin with the most insane glow. While some serums say they hydrate, the PDRN Pink Peptide Serum truly delivers plumping hydration that makes an instant, noticeable difference.

A recent favorite item from the brand is the Zero Pore Pads , which became my savior this summer in the heat, helping to unclog pores, remove dirt, sweat, and grime, and diminish breakouts.

It’s safe to say there isn’t a Medicube product or device I haven’t loved, and for that reason alone, I am obsessed.
