It fits in the palm of your hand: the Mini Plus is the compact version of Medicube's AGE-R range. One head, one button, an LED whose colour changes with the mode. You glide it in small circles over a still-fresh serum, before applying your cream.
A facial microcurrent device to support your skincare
The Mini Plus brings together three technologies described by the brand. Electroporation sends brief pulses which, according to Medicube, help the skincare applied just before to absorb better. Microcurrent provides a very low-intensity current, sought after for a visible tightening effect and skin that looks more toned. A sonic vibration helps spread the product, and a sensor cuts the current as soon as the device leaves the face.
Three modes are shown in red, blue and purple. The purple, specific to the Plus version, is presented by the brand as the radiance and absorption mode. The intensity is adjusted over five levels. Let's be frank: the effect of these home devices is plausible but little measured by independent studies. See it as a pleasant massage step, not as a salon session.
How to use
- Cleanse the face, then apply a generous layer of serum, ampoule or gel. The device is never used on dry skin.
- Hold the button for two to three seconds to switch it on, then press twice quickly to change mode.
- Stay at level 1 for the first few uses, then gradually go up according to your comfort.
- Place the head flat and draw small, slow circles until the product has been absorbed. Lower the intensity around the eyes, nose and mouth.
- After use, wipe the head and store the device in a dry place.
Follow the frequency given in the instructions. Avoid combining it with an exfoliating acid or a retinol until your skin is used to it.
Which skin is it for
It suits adults discovering beauty devices who want a simple format, and normal, combination or dry skin that tolerates its skincare well. It is not suitable for damaged, irritated skin, skin in a breakout or just exfoliated, nor for children. To choose the serum to pair with it, browse the Korean skincare range or the whole Medicube range.

Frequently asked questions
How does it differ from the Booster Pro X2?

Do I need a special conductive gel?
No, a serum, ampoule or gel from your routine will do, according to the brand. Apply enough for the head to glide without catching.
Morning or evening?
Both. In the morning, finish as usual with sun protection.
Can you feel the current?
