Dear readers,

Ready to glow? Well well well, I thought I was but then I started using the Medicube Booster-H device and let me tell you, I just simply wasn't ready. Nop. Let me introduce to you this divine machine real quick. In 5 minutes, you get a facial at home (pain-free) that significantly improves your skin permeability, meaning the product you are pairing it with will penetrate way deeper into your skin. So now the question is, what should you pair it with? No worries, I've got you. Let me present to you my top 4 serums for the job and long-lasting hydration.

My recommendations for the Best Serum Combo:

1. Best Overall: Medicube Triple Collagen Serum ($32)

2. Best Skin Barrier Recovery: Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief ($28)

3. Best Glowy Skin: Neogen Real Ferment Micro Serum ($22)

4. Best Hydrating: Missha Bee Pollen Renew Ampouler ($14)

1. Best Overall: Medicube Triple Collagen Serum

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Highlights:

• Boost skin moisture

• Improves skin elasticity

• Insane hydration

• Plumping

• Anti-aging

• Developed to be used together with the device

What we don’t like:

• Expensive

Amazon.ae | $50

Medicube | $32

When Medicube realised the wonderful Booster-H device, they also launched their Triple Collagen Serum to be used together. So what is inside it? It contains a triple collagen complex; hydrolysed collagen (moisturizing), atoll collagen (improves skin elasticity) and soluble collagen (plump and firming effect), to nourish dull skin and will give this envious sought-after glass glow to the skin. The lasting skin suppleness is insane and the glow... to die for. The triple goodness ingredients penetrate faster and deeper into the skin barrier with the Booster-H device, providing even the deepest skin layer the nutrients it needs for plumped and healthy-looking skin. It is suitable for all skin types: sensitive, combination, dry, normal oily. I didn't experience any breakouts or skin irritations. You can also use the Collagen Niacinamide Jelly Cream, which is also another option that came out recently. So is it really necessary to only use this serum? Absolutely not, you can use whatever serum or other products you wish.

2. Best Natural Skin Barrier Recovery: Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Highlights:

• Vegan formula

• Calms redness

• Restores damaged skin

• Nourishing

• Nice scent

What we don’t like:

• Expensive

Amazon | $28

KraveBeauty | $28

This Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief serum is amazing. I have nothing else to add to this statement. First of all, I love most of the Krave Beauty philosophy; simple and effective products with an emphasis on environmentally friendly processes and great product formulation. This serum is no exception. Just brilliant texture, smell is great and the packaging blew my mind away. The product is sealed inside a ballon that shrinks on itself and allows you to pump ALL the product out of the bottle, with 0 waste. The creamy and nourishing serum contains niacinamide that helps rebalance and restore damaged skin as well as clearing breakouts and soothing irritation. The beautiful trio; tamanu, safflower and rosehip oil, activate the replenishment of your skin by calming redness and nourishing dehydrated skin. So you get it, the Great Barrier Relief is here to strengthen your skin barrier shield. It gives a nice glow as well, which is never a bad thing.

3. Best Glowy Skin: Neogen Real Ferment Micro Serum

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Highlights:

• Snail texture

• Glow boost

• Incredible hydration

• Long-lasting hydration

What we don’t like:

• Expensive

Amazon | $34

YesStyle | $22

StyleKorean | $34

Now, if we are talking about glow, we want to talk about the Neogen Real Ferment Micro Serum. Hands down the best glow serum on the Korean market. It is a super duper intensively hydrating gel-type serum that contains 61% natural fermented ingredients, and active ingredients like panthenol, collagen and vitamins (C, E, B5). It helps to reinforce skin elasticity while delivering instant hydration and skin radiance. This real fermented micro serum helps improve skin’s natural strength for firmer, brighter, and healthier-looking skin. A radiant complexion is basically what you will get from this non-greasy serum that restores the water-oil balance in your skin. Magic? I would think so yes.

4. Best Hydration: Missha Bee Pollen Renew Serum

Rating: 5 / 5

Highlights:

• Skin texture improvement

• Moisture improvement

• Honey scent

• Long-lasting hydration

• More adequate for dryer weather

What we don’t like:

• Nothing

StyleKorean | $18

YesStyle | $21

Stylevana | $14

And last but not least, the cheapest serum out of all the presented options but definitively the most hydrating. The formula is a little thick yet not heavy as a result, so it is definitively recommended for dryer seasons or cold environments (which we know Korean winters are not very warm), for very dry skin or as a night serum. But in all fairness, it is so soothing and gentle on the skin that it is suitable for any skin type, just be aware the hydration is top-notch intense with 42% bee pollen extract. Missha Bee Pollen Renew "ampoules" is the fusion of an "ampoule" and the word "fuller". Pollen antioxidant energy helps to improve tired, dull skin into healthier, brighter skin. But beyond that, the hydration is incredible. A few drops is enough let me tell you. A really great and affordable product. On a side note, it is a best-seller

in Korea.
