A few drops of a milky-looking fluid, which melt under the fingers and leave a satin finish, never tacky. The Collagen Glow Booster comes in a small 15 ml glass bottle. It slips in between the serum and the cream, or is used on its own on rushed mornings, just before sun protection.
A collagen serum for a satin glow
A particular feature of the formula: the milk protein extract comes straight after the water, even before the glycerin. Around it:
- Milk proteins: they leave a velvety feel and contribute to smoother skin texture.
- Hydrolysed collagen and elastin: they stay on the surface, where they form a hydrating veil. They do not stimulate the skin's collagen, but the look is plumper and smoother for as long as they are there.
- Niacinamide: for a more even and luminous complexion.
- Ceramide NP, beta-glucan, proteoglycan: comfort and hydration retention.
- Sodium DNA (PDRN) and hexapeptide-2, at the very end of the list. PDRN is a hydrating ingredient popular in Korea; applied to the skin, no demonstrated regenerating effect is known.
The result shows straight away: skin that catches the light, supple to the touch. It is a radiance and comfort product, to be renewed every day.
How to use it
Morning, evening, or both, on clean, dry skin. Place two to three drops in the palm, then massage the face and neck in small circles, moving upwards. Leave to absorb for a few moments before the cream. For a richer cream, mix one drop into your usual cream. It pairs with most actives: if you use a retinol or acids in the evening, apply them first, then this booster. In the morning, always finish with sun protection.
Which skin it suits
Dull, tired or dehydrated complexions, normal to combination skin that wants radiance without heaviness. Dry skin will use it under a nourishing cream. The formula contains fragrance and milk proteins: steer clear if you are allergic to either. Find other dark spots and radiance products and the complete Medicube range.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from the Collagen Jelly Cream?
The booster goes on first, in drops, for radiance. The gel cream comes next and keeps the hydration in. They complement each other.
Morning or evening?
Both. In the morning, it gives a luminous finish under sun protection; in the evening, it comes before the night cream.
How long does the bottle last?
At two or three drops per application, the 15 ml lasts several weeks.
Is it vegan?
No: it contains milk proteins, and the collagen and elastin are not plant-derived.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
With caution, as it contains fragrance. Test it first on a small area for a few days.
A few drops are enough to give your routine a satin glow, from morning to evening.
