Medicube is one of the buzziest K-beauty brands on UK shelves, and its Booster Pro facial device is arguably its biggest success story. The gadget has built an impressive celebrity following, with fans including Hailey Bieber, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Georgina Rodriguez. In a video posted on Instagram, Rodriguez called it, “my favourite device – I’m obsessed with it. It’s a must-have in my beauty routine.”

And it’s earned its stars on social media too. The device has amassed hundreds of positive reviews on Amazon, with users praising its performance and the visible improvements they’ve noticed in their skin, while thousands of videos on TikTok have helped turn it into one of the most talked-about beauty gadgets of the moment.
But what exactly is the Medicube Booster Pro designed to do – and is it really worth the investment?
I’d been seeing the Korean gadget everywhere for months. Then, at my friend’s engagement party, she told me it was, without exaggeration, the best beauty investment she’d ever made and that she’d noticed a difference almost immediately. Needless to say, I was sold. After using the device consistently for almost two months, here’s my honest review of the Medicube Booster Pro X2.
The Medicube Booster Pro X2 is a multifunctional at-home skincare device designed to combine several technologies and treatment modes in one gadget. It offers seven modes and six adjustable intensity levels to improve radiance, minimise the appearance of pores, and define and sculpt the face.
Depending on the mode you choose, the device uses different forms of electrical stimulation and energy to target different skincare concerns. It can also be used alongside your usual skincare products to enhance product absorption.
The seven modes can be used individually or combined, depending on your skincare goals. Each one is designed to target a different concern.
- Designed to target the appearance of pores and improve skin texture. Use it on clean, dry skin, gently gliding the edge of the device across your face without applying pressure. It is normal to feel a mild tingling or prickling sensation. I like using this mode when I want my skin to feel smoother and more refined before applying the rest of my skincare.
- Uses electrical pulses, or electroporation, to help skincare products penetrate the skin more effectively. This is the mode I reach for when my complexion looks dull. Apply your serum first, then glide the device over the skin using gentle circular motions.
- Uses microcurrent to create a temporary plumping. This mode should be used with a cream, serum, or gel to ensure sufficient slip. I tend to concentrate on my cheeks, jawline, and forehead, moving the device slowly in an upward direction.
- Uses EMS to stimulate facial muscles, contour and define. For me, this makes the biggest difference when I want my face to look sculpted. I use it with the remaining product on my skin, moving the device slowly and pausing around the cheekbones and jawline.
- Combines two modes into a single five-minute session for a streamlined treatment. You can customise the combination through the AGE-R app.
- Designed to be used with a sheet mask. The idea is to help maximise the benefits of your mask, while enhancing hydration and glow.
- Once you connect the device to the AGE-R app, you can enter your skin type and main concerns. The app then creates a personalised routine and recommends which modes to use.
For me, yes – but only if you use it consistently.
The biggest advantage of the Medicube Booster Pro X2 is that it brings different technologies and treatment modes into one at-home device – rather than having to use different gadgets or booking multiple professional treatments. After almost two months of regular use, I’m impressed by the results. No other gadget has such immediate results. My skin looks smoother, more radiant, and noticeably more sculpted. The Medicube Booster Pro X2 is one of the few devices I’ve tried that genuinely feels worth the hype.
