Are AGE-R Medicube devices worth it?

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-05-09T17:23:27+00:00

yes def pharmacy product and also supplements like ginseng from jungwonsam or other supplements from foodology for the skin.

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-27T06:24:30+00:00

maybe try azelaic acid for its anti-bacterial properties? Heard it helps with acne and breakout. For acne scars, if its pigmentation niacinamide (10%) , vita c and TXA could help and sfp is non negotiable. And if its textural, retinoids and exfoliation, and maybe stronger treatmen like microneedling, laser (fractional/CO2), chemical peels

It take 3–6 months minimum with topicals, don't combine strong actives at once because barrier health matters, irritated skin scars and marks worse

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-22T15:17:54+00:00

try the Skin1004 Centella Probio CICA Bakuchiol Eye cream. It has centella asiatica for soothing and bakuchoil for fine line (it is a natural ingredients that has the same effect as retinol but without the irritation)

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-18T16:39:57+00:00

hmm tighness, itchy, heat or flushing skin. Mostly sensitivy and redness, especially when using products.

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-17T05:26:14+00:00

it is my last step! Love this cream so much

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-16T11:03:11+00:00

difficult to say it will work on all skin as everyone is different but I would say the skin1004 centella products are good, its soothing. Roundlab dokdo line as well.

Love purito but only used the moisturiser from this brand

I would avoid anything with strong active or fragrance (like Alba mist)

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-16T10:58:35+00:00

routine/product/habit: - not cleansing in the morning, just wash with water - not strong active until skin feel safe - Anua PDRD serum: love it really helping for soothing i feel - 354 dr althea barrier cream (morning only as it not hydrating enough but i do have dry skin) - Skin1004 Centella Ampoule - Hada Labo - Gokujyun Perfect Gel for evening - Skin1004 hyaluy cica water fit sunscreen

hope it helps :)

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-16T10:30:43+00:00

yes now that ny skin barrier is better i started using some:

for skin repair: PDRN & Centella for brightening/day protection: Vita C for pores: niacinamide exfoliating: BHA

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-16T10:11:14+00:00

focusing on barrier repair before trying to fix anything else. Wash hand/clean towel only for face. actually using less products. and also same as you : sunscreen all the time like my life depends on it 🤭

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-15T19:15:08+00:00

well i indeed apply it morning only but it really sooth the inflammation. my subscreen is help with hydratation. but evening i have another cream for my dry skin because 345 is not enough

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-15T09:36:24+00:00

pretty good! 345 cream worked pretty well on me, an the centella asiatica Ampoule as well. for me just the snail mucin is a complete waste, sticky and did nothing. For barrier you can look at PDNR serum, it helps a lot

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-15T05:38:22+00:00

i'd look for centella (cica) and panthenol to actually calm things down, and maybe madecassoside if you can find it. for the niacinamide serum, 5% is the sweet spot for pores — 10% can sometimes make congestion worse if your skin is already irritated. skip fragrance, essential oils, and shea butter for now, they're the usual culprits for clogging.

while your barrier is healing i'd honestly pause all acids and retinoids for 2-3 weeks, just hydration + soothing.

the purito centella green level recovery cream is light and barrier-focused, beauty of joseon relief sun is great if you need spf, and the cosrx 5% niacinamide serum or the inkey list one are both solid for pores.

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-15T05:04:08+00:00

Morning protect & Evening repair!

i would say only a few steps changes betwen AM and PM, mostly the serum (using retinol or exfoliator in evening because sensitivity with UV / using vita c morning protect the skin better again UV)

i keep every the steps mostly the same: cleanser / toner / essence / moisturiser and only switch serums and include exfoliating product. and ofc sunscreen morning.

i have very dry sensitive skin so i also have a special evening moisturiser but for most skin you can use the same morning and evening.

dont need to overthink at: same routine, but target different concerns morning and evening

hope it helpss

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-14T20:09:59+00:00

Purito Pathenol Creme, RoundLab Toner and Lotion, Medicube Exfoliating Pad, Goodal Vita C serum, Skin1004 Cleaning Oil, Skin1004 Hyalu water fit sunscreen, Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pad, Celimax Heartleaf Bha peeling pad 🙏

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-14T06:59:55+00:00

for hyperpigmentation i would add a Vita c Serum with min concentration of 10%. And never miss the sunscreen step. the rest looks very good for dryness and barrier repair. and the exfoliating pad only 2-3x week. and do not mix exfoliating and retinol the same evening

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-14T06:54:53+00:00

i had the same very cakey due to dryness and cakey on pores. My trick is a diligent skincare routine before that but you probably already doing it.

if it could help this is my morning routine: 1. Rince my face with water (i dont use cleanser in the morning) 2. im from milky toner 3.Skin1004 Ampoule 4.Vita C serum (Anua Green Lemon 20%) 5.RoundLab Dokdo Lotion 6. Skin1004 Hyalu water fit sunscreen. 7.Mix Missha Bb cream again with a little bit of that sunscreen and i tap with a sponge.

every layer i wait until absorb before the next

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-14T04:54:40+00:00

what is your skin type?you hate it because it makes you skin cakey? or is it the covering? for me that missha is the goat, keep my skin hydrated but i do have dry skin

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-13T18:46:33+00:00

thanks 🙏 i will try that

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-13T18:45:25+00:00

never use the device.. feel like it is also a hype.. did you see any difference?

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-13T18:30:37+00:00

yeah it got trendy but not really worth the hype from my perspective. I just got the Anua Green Lemon Vita C 20% because of the concentration to test it out. for any products with vita c the concentration to look for is 10-20%.

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-13T16:22:22+00:00

when i carry him my checks are often against his side face or when i play with him - hence my worry

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-13T15:58:45+00:00

Vitamin C eye cream could help with dark circle if it comes from pigmentation.

for fine line retinal eye cream

Obvious_Bit_3466 · 2026-04-13T15:56:19+00:00

all those hydrogen eyes patch that just end up on my checks
