If you’re a skin-care social media savant, you’ve likely already come across Medicube’s viral jelly creams, collagen masks and dual-sided toner pads. Known for its glass-skin-promoting formulas and popular absorption-enhancing booster tool, Medicube has amassed a cult following among skin care enthusiasts, celebrities and dermatologists alike.
We took a deep dive into Medicube’s lineup to see which products live up to the hype and deserve a spot in your routine.
Is Medicube a Good Brand?
Medicube has won over the internet as well as discerning beauty editors, celebrities and dermatologists with thoughtfully developed formulas, innovative textures and accessible prices. As with many viral products, it’s easy for benefits to get exaggerated online, but the brand has earned praise beyond social media, too.
“As a dermatologist, what I love about Medicube is that they've really pushed the boundaries of what at-home skin care can look like,” says New York dermatologist Shereene Idriss, MD. “I love when beauty borrows from medicine, and Medicube has done a great job of taking scientific principles that have been studied for decades and finding ways to bring them into our everyday skin-care routines.”
She also appreciates how the brand pairs products with devices: “They're not just thinking about skin-care products or devices individually, but how the two can work together. Whether it's electroporation to help optimize ingredient delivery or technologies like EMS and microcurrent, I appreciate that they're making this science more accessible and easier to incorporate into your routine.”
The Best Medicube Products

This at-home device launched earlier this year and counts Dr. Idriss among its fans. It offers seven different treatment modes to address a range of skin concerns. Dr. Idriss likes the Booster Pro X2 “because you're getting multiple technologies in one device, and you can really tailor how you use it depending on what you're trying to achieve.”
Dr. Idriss especially loves Dual Mode, which combines EMS and microcurrent. “If you're starting to notice your lower face looking a little softer or losing definition around your jawline, it's a great way to incorporate both technologies into one step,” she says. “I'm also a big fan of Booster Mode, which uses electroporation to help optimize skin-care absorption. Paired with a well-formulated serum, this can help tackle your skin concerns more thoughtfully whether it’s dryness, elasticity or even pores.”

We loved this mask so much we named it a 2026 NewBeauty Award winner. I struggle with hyperpigmentation, and this brightening mask has been a huge help. According to the brand’s clinical testing, it improved skin-tone evenness by nearly 25 percent after just three days.

Our director of beauty, Britt Fallon, previously raved about this jelly cream for plump, glowing skin. “If you are looking for a moisturizer that also helps with signs of aging like uneven skin tone and lack of firmness, this is a great pick,” she wrote. It’s a moisturizer to consider if smoother, firmer-looking skin and a glass-skin glow are on your wish list.

In a TikTok video, Alix Earle revealed that these pore pads made her dermatologist’s list of recommended products, helping fuel their viral popularity. Fans have praised the pads for reducing excess oil, minimizing the appearance of pores and smoothing skin texture. The formula uses exfoliating acids to help clear buildup and leave skin looking smoother.

Korean wrapping masks have gone viral, especially this one from Medicube. It works by wrapping your skin in a light film that’s fun to peel off, but the process isn’t even the best part. The formula combines collagen with hydrating ingredients to leave skin looking plumper and feeling moisturized by morning.

Contributing writer Taryn Brooke recommends this viral multi-purpose balm that acts as both a makeup primer and a fine-line smoother. She previously noted that it works especially well under the eyes. “This smooth and non-sticky balm is formulated with vitamin E and caffeine to help reduce puffiness, dark circles and fine lines,” she wrote. She also uses it on her forehead, lips, nasolabial folds and neck lines.

Spicule skin care has gone viral this year, and Medicube has its own take on the trend. Marketed as a “liquid microneedling” serum, this formula aims to minimize the appearance of pores and smooth skin texture while improving absorption of other products. The spicules can cause a prickling sensation, making this a better fit for experienced users than beginners. If you have sensitive skin, skip this one.

This Kylie Jenner favorite is another one of Medicube’s gateways to glass skin. The formula pairs one of K-beauty’s buzziest ingredients, PDRN, with peptides and niacinamide to leave skin feeling hydrated and looking plump and dewy.

For breakout-prone skin, these pads combine succinic, salicylic and glycolic acids to help unclog pores and smooth skin texture. Soothing ingredients round out the formula, though the exfoliating acids may still irritate sensitive skin.

This wrinkle-plumping cream was my first introduction to Medicube, and it was love at first use. It gave me such a glass-skin glow that my husband thought I was wearing highlighter.
