The Medicube AGE-R Booster Pro X2 is the Korean skincare device behind this year's at-home glass skin conversation, and the newest generation of the AGE-R line. Stocked at Beauty Edit Mayfair on Berkeley Street and available online across the UK.

How it works

Actives only work as deep as they travel. Most serums sit on the surface. The Booster Pro X2 uses electroporation to open temporary microchannels in the skin barrier, so the products you already own reach the layer where they act. Every other mode builds on that one idea.

What is new in the X2

The original Booster Pro offered four modes. The X2 runs seven. Dual Mode combines two technologies in one session. Mask Mode is used over a sheet mask to drive essence deeper. AI Mode connects to the AGE-R app and builds a routine around your skin concern and the time you have.

The seven modes

• Air Shot: electric microneedling for texture and pores. Two to three times a week.
• Booster: electroporation for absorption.
• MC: microcurrent, worked upward along the jaw and cheekbones.
• Derma Shot: EMS, held on areas of concern.
• Dual: two technologies in one pass.
• Mask: used over a sheet mask.
• AI: an app guided routine.

Five LED colours run across the modes, red for elasticity, blue for pores and sebum.

What to expect

Firmer definition along the jaw and cheekbones. Refined texture and pores that look smaller. Better absorption from your existing routine. More even tone. Most customers see a difference from around four weeks of consistent use.

How to use

Begin on clean, dry skin and apply your serum. Work in order: Air Shot, then Booster, then MC, then Derma Shot. Five minutes per mode. Start at level one and build as your skin adapts. Pair with the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream for slip.

Questions we are asked in store

What is the difference between the Booster Pro and the Booster Pro X2?
Four modes became seven. Dual, Mask and AI Mode are the additions, and the app pairing is more capable.

Can I use it with my own serums?
Yes. The device is designed to work with whatever you already use. Start with a simple hydrating serum before introducing retinol or vitamin C, and drop to level one when you do.

How often should I use it?
Booster, MC and Derma Shot can be daily. Air Shot two to three times a week.

How long until I see results?
Absorption and glow are immediate. Firmness and texture build from about four weeks.
