'With Skin Cushion, we've made an exciting breakthrough in skin recovery technology,' Dr Jack reveals. 'The goal was to create an advanced skin rehabilitation system that responds to the growing challenges of modern skin health without downtime or irritation. By combining cutting-edge biomolecular ingredients like Resveratrol and a dynamic polypeptide complex, we've designed a solution that doesn't simply mask skin concerns, but actively repairs and fortifies the skin's natural defences to aid healing in ageing, stressed skin.'

The medicube Age-R Booster Pro is the Beyoncé of beauty tools
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Let's talk skincare gadgets. Because let's face it: we've all been seduced by that sleek ad, the influencer with glass skin, or the promise that this one little device will reverse the effects of binge-watching Netflix under fluorescent lights while eating cheese puffs. Enter the Age-R Booster Pro — a name that sounds like a spaceship but is specially designed to make your face look like it drinks collagen for breakfast. As someone who reports on and reviews the best beauty brands for a living, I'm here to tell you that medicube is certainly worth it. Now, its device is beating the same buzzy drum and is on sale for less than $200 for a limited time. Amazon This snazzy Korean-made device is marketed as a product to help you 'achieve your glass skin goals with innovative technology' tool. Translation: it uses tiny zaps and heat to wake up your collagen, tighten any sagging skin and lift those brows like a pop diva hitting a high note. According to medicube, it's the closest you can get to a med spa treatment without leaving your house (and, that's always a plus). If you're in the mood for a skincare investment, this device feels like unwrapping tech from the future. It's white, sleek, and vaguely resembles something that might take your temperature — or steal your Wi-Fi. As far as aesthetics go, it checks every box. Just don't expect it to fit neatly in your carry-on unless you travel with a dedicated 'skincare gadgets only' suitcase (no judgment if you do). How it works No goopy gel? Count me in. The medicube Age-R Booster Pro combines electroporation, microcurrent, EMS, electric needles, LED light therapy and sonic vibration into a single device. It's like having a facialist, dermatologist and spa therapist all rolled into one — without the hefty price tag or awkward small talk. Each of the four modes is designed to target specific skin concerns with precision. The Air Shot mode uses electric needles to refine pores and combat acne, while the Booster mode employs electroporation to enhance product absorption and brighten your complexion. Its Microcurrent mode stimulates collagen production for a lifted, youthful appearance, and the Derma Shot mode utilizes EMS to tone and firm facial muscles. Not to mention, tthe device features five LED light settings — blue, orange, green, red and purple — each tailored to address different skin issues, from acne to dullness to elasticity. The device boasts a skin-contact sensor that activates LED light only when it touches your skin, ensuring safe and effective treatment. It also includes a built-in timer and voice guide to keep you on track during your skincare session. For those seeking a more personalized experience, the AGE-R app offers customized treatment plans, progress tracking and expert tips. Most reviewers say it's like a cozy face sauna. The Ultra Tune comes with five interchangeable heads, each designed to contour around your face like a skincare GPS. Bonus: It makes you feel like a highly-trained beauty assassin on a mission to slay wrinkles. It's easy to use, and you don't need a special gel. Simply use the Ultra Tune after your skincare products have fully absorbed. It will help boost your skin's radiance and elasticity when used consistently, which is the best part. Pro tip: use the brand's Deep Vita C Capsule Cream that's also on sale for a brightening boost. People are seeing real results, too. Reviewers have posted everything from 'my cheeks look lifted' to 'I finally have cheekbones and didn't have to contour.' And yes, we're talking after just a few uses. But others say it's more of a 'slow and steady wins the race' situation. TL;DR: This isn't a Disney princess transformation; consistency is key. Let's not tiptoe around it — this baby, though on sale, is nearly $200 . That's not exactly pocket change. But, compared to repeated spa visits, it's a steal. The real question is: will you actually use it three times a week, or will it become the world's fanciest dust collector? That's up to you to decide. The bottom line If you're skincare-obsessed, love a tech-forward approach, or just want to pretend you're giving yourself a facial while watching 'Bridgerton,' this device is for you. If your ideal skincare routine is 'splash water and hope for the best,' maybe skip it. Honestly? The medicube Age-R Booster Pro brings the science and the sizzle. It's not perfect, it's not cheap, but it works if you commit to using it consistently. It's only worth it if you consider this device like a skincare marriage of sorts, not a fling. If you're tired of overpriced creams that promise the world and deliver very little, this device is a solid investment. It's bougie. It's bold. It's your new skincare BFF with benefits. Just remember: good skin takes time, tec,h and maybe a little caffeine.

The medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 glides over your skin, gently warming as it goes, thanks to its 40.68 MHz frequency — which, according to science (and medicube's marketing team), is the sweet spot for stimulating collagen. There's also a microcurrent setting that tightens like your face just did Pilates. The experience is warm, slightly tingly and weirdly satisfying. Most reviewers say it's like a cozy face sauna.
