What the gurus are saying

This serum's barrier-disrupting mechanism divides reviewers sharply. One loves it enough to own multiple versions, while another found it caused breakouts and saw no benefits. The product temporarily disrupts the skin barrier to speed ingredient penetration, which poses real risks for people with rosacea or easily irritated skin. One experienced breakouts within a month; another treasures it but pairs it with other Medicube devices instead.

Revisiting VIRAL Korean Skincare: Have My Opinions Changed?!
"I loved the original Booster H. I still don't want to give up my original Booster H, these are some of my most prized skincare related possessions, I just don't use them with Medicube skincare as often anymore. I feel like the devices are where Medicube shines."
~Nay
"I'm not convinced that it's doing anything. I haven't seen a huge difference in my skin, and I do have some reservations about it and reasons why I'm not so sure you should jump on the bandwagon without thinking a little bit more about whether it's going to be right for you. First of all, let me go over what they say in terms of who should not use this. Anyone whose skin is red and tingling due to excessive tanning."
~Nay
"Had I taken a moment to really look at how this technology works, I do think I would not have touched this product at all. The brand says the booster creates temporary passageways on the skin to help rapidly penetrate active ingredients. Why does that not sound like a nightmare for somebody with rosacea? Another way of saying this is that it temporarily disrupts your skin barrier."

Why Are People So Obsessed With These Skincare Products!? Rhode, BYOMA, Medicube, Slurp Laboratories
"No, I don't. I'll be honest with you. Do I think my skin has been looking any better from this? No. I actually don't. I'm not doing this properly, by the way. I'm just going to do this to demonstrate how it works. What it did do, however, is break me out, which I guess means that's working because the products were able to penetrate more. It kind of gave me this purging, I think. I don't really know what was going on. I don't think my skin looks any better for it."
