MEDITHERAPY Albutin Skin Booster Serum & Booster Device Set Niacinamide Albutin Moisturizer Tone Up Skin Booster Introduction Serum Facial Beauty Tool

So I've been using this serum plus EP device for two weeks, and that's not really long enough to talk about the long term results of using this. But I've been enjoying it, and thought I'd share my thoughts. This is my first time using an arbutin product, and so far so good. I use a lot of actives in my skincare, and I have a lot of hyperpigmentation. So I'm always searching for something that will work on my dark spots. I know arbutin is a proven spot treatment, so I have high hopes for this. But the funnest part of this is the EP device. EP stands for electroporation, and it's using electricity to create little temporary pores in your skin. This is used here to get the serum to absorb faster. I guess it's a lot like spicules, but with a device. EP is widely used in medical and research applications also. The device might light up red, but this is not a red light device, which I am glad, because heat tends to give me more dark spots! There are 3 settings, and I highly recommend starting with level one until you get used to it. It's a bit weird at first. It might feel like tiny rubber bands snapping. You will need the serum or another type of gel (water-y product), because it needs something conductive to work. I've been adding my beloved azelaic acid to the mix. The arbutin serum is very gentle, and scent-free. It's moisturizing, but still very light. It absorbs well, unless you are like me and uses way too much, in which case, it remains sticky for a bit longer. The device has a charger, and a single charge lasts a long time. I like how the device and the serum are integrated, so there's not another item to store. I will come back and share if there are any new developments. Edited to add: I noticed today that I have new broken capillaries on my nose and under it. I’ve always been prone to those, so if you are also prone to those, be careful. I’ve changed the review from 5 stars to 3. Use with caution.

I have to admit that I’m obsessed with trying new skincare and devices. I’m turning 40 and have used korean skincare for 15 years, if I may say so myself, my skin looks very good and I get compliments all the time. When I came across this serum and massager tool I had to try it, I love Meditherapy products and face massagers are the newest gadget to help with product absorption deep into the skin. This serum bottle is huge and will last me several months, it is also a lightweight gel that reminds me of ultrasound gel that makes the massager tool glide over the skin with ease. I don’t go by the instruction on the amount of gel needed, I go by feeling, some days I need more gel and others less, the goal is to have the tool slide over the skin but not to apply too much prosuct that won’t be able to absorb into the skin and leave it sticky. Using the massager tool is fun but very strange at first. The vibration of the tool feels very good when used on thicker skin like the cheeks, when used on thin skin, like around the forehead, eyes and chin, the zapping can be a bit intense so I skip the eyes and chin. I like that the vibration has three levels so you can start low and work up your tolerance. I do feel that the vibration does a great job in absorbing products deeper into the skin, my skin tone looks more even and my skin is hydrated, the serum also layers well with my other products and works under makeup. I actually use the massager with other, gel like products of mine, to aid in deeper absorption. The massager head is easy to charge and holds the charge for a long time, overall I think it’s a fun and handy tool to get more out of my skincare products and their efficacy, the serum is also great but can leave a slight sticky or tight feeling on the skin but after applying my next skincare product, my skin absorbs it well and the tightness and stickiness is gone.

The concept of having the serum and red light therapy with a microcurrent wand in the same product was definitely intriguing and more cost effective than ordering them separately. For the serum, the recommended amount to use was way more product than my skin could handle. I have tried the 2-3 pumps the bottle recommends, but found that in the end, my skin really only takes about 1-1.5 pumps on clean skin. You apply the serum then you're supposed to glide the cap over it to get your skin to really absorb it. You use the cap for 3 minutes and really like that it has a built in timer so I don't have to watch the clock or guess how long I've been using it. Once the 3 minutes is up, it shuts off automatically. The light and microcurrent has 3 levels and works when it sits flush with your skin. This works great in large areas like my cheeks and forehead, but it does't work on and around my nose and chin. I personally works have preferred a smaller microcurrent so it worked in more areas. The serum is pretty sticky so I didn't feel like the lid really smoothly slid on my face. I experimented with more serum, less, using it right after applying serum, as well as waiting until it was absorbed more. Every way I tried it, it still feels like it drags on the sticky serum than it glides. The microcurrent does help with the absorbing. I didn't have any irritation while using the red light or any of the 3 levels of the microcurrent. The microcurrent isn't overly noticeable on the first level, but becomes more noticeable the higher you go. It doesn't cause any pain got me, just a tingling sensation. Again, I've tried it with the recommended amount and ultimately ended up on an amount that works best for me. I had the same results with the cap regardless of how much serum I use. I didn't find that using the recommended amount had my skin accept more serum, it just took longer to absorb or left a layer on top of my skin. With the 1.5 pumps, it doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky after using the top, not leaves my skin feels soft and moisturized. I have noticed that the redness in my face has been getting lighter and lighter so I'll definitely stick with it.

Interesting 2 in 1 bottle. After charging the device you take off the cap, use the pump for the serum (I used one pump and it was plenty, even though they recommend 2-3 pumps), turn on the cap section and apply to the face with smooth strokes. When the device gets a good contact with the skin, it activates the microcurrents. It was a little hard to get smooth strokes because of the serum being a little sticky. Maybe if you let the serum absorb more the device will glide better. Because you are using this donut shaped device, it is hard to get a good contact on some parts of the face. You should be able to use just an edge of the device around the nose area, etc., but I was still having a hard time getting a good contact on the bridge of my nose. There are 3 levels for the current. When I used the first level I didn't notice any current. The second level produced a small amount of current. I haven't tried the third level yet. I have used the device for 4 mornings in a row so far and I am noticing a small amount of skin tightening so far. I'm curious what I will need to do once the serum is gone from the bottle. I guess you can just throw that part away and keep the top part for the microcurrent. I'm not sure if the device warrants the $70 price tag.

This is a unique skin care set. It is a serum with a special booster cap with massaging/absorption enhancing capabilities. The serum is clear and slightly runny. It doesn't have any scent to it, but it is a little sticky. The booster cap is easy to use and has 3 settings. Depending on the setting, there is a slight tingling sensation. Once you have applied the serum, you glide the cap over the area. It has a built in timer which is helpful so you don't have to worry about going over the recommended time. I have used this a few times so far. It doesn't irritate or annoy my sensitive skin. I haven't seen any difference yet, but I'm hopeful that with continued use, I will see some. I like that the booster cap can be used with other serums so it can still be used when you run out of this one.
