Our Beauty Editors Are Obsessed With Medicube—8 Prime Day Deals Worth Grabbing

Glamour senior beauty editor, Ariana Yaptangco, says that this device is her skincare holy grail. “My most-used settings are Microcurrent and Derma Shot modes, to help lift and sculpt my jaw and cheeks. My face shape is pretty round—not to mention, I grind my teeth, which has resulted in enlarged masseter muscles in my jaw—so I’m always looking for ways to slim things out. The device is so user-friendly and compact, I can easily use it before a big event like a wedding or while I’m sitting on the couch watching TV. I’m also a big fan of Air Shot Mode, which I use on my cystic acne breakouts to bring down swelling,” she says. Almost immediately, you can see results. “To drive the point home, I decided to use the Microcurrent and Derma Shot modes on just one side of my face. You can see the difference in lift and firmness, particularly around the eye, brow bone, and jawline.”

Antiaging creams have become non-negotiable in our skincare routines, so we’re also pleased to see that this brightening moisturizer is 27% off. It’s packed full of hyaluronic acid, ceramides, collagen and peptides, and you can see a difference in your fine lines in just a few weeks. “I fell in love with this moisturizer the minute I tried it. It has a bouncy, gel-like consistency that glides right onto the skin and quickly sinks in, leaving you looking and feeling radiant but not overly shiny. I definitely think it made a huge difference in the fine lines on my forehead and around my nose after consistent use—both areas feel more firm and plump,” says Glamour commerce writer Alanna Martine Kilkeary who has oily, combination skin.

Speaking of antiaging, PDRN skincare is another K-beauty trend we’ve been incorporating into our routine for a few months now, so it’s just about time for a restock on this peptide serum that’s marked down to $15 from its usual $21. This one addresses acne, inflammation, redness and discoloration– particularly from acne scars—and makes your skin look plump and resilient almost immediately after use. It also helps strengthen your skin barrier over time, and is suitable for sensitive skin and mature skin types. “This serum does exactly what it says it does,” says Glamour’s Kilkeary. “It has a jelly-like consistency, which some might find a little sticky, but I actually found it to be rather lightweight. It sank right in pretty quickly when I first tried it, and after letting it settle (and applying moisturizer and SPF on top), I noticed my skin looked and felt super smooth, firm and clarified. I’d definitely recommend this for anyone starting to struggle with fine lines and discoloration around the eyes or nose—I saw improvement in these areas after using the serum for about a week.”

Perhaps the most recognizable Medicube product to the average beauty user, this overnight wrapping peel-off facial mask has become a go-to for beauty editors and influencers alike. It’s meant to be used during a full night’s sleep (and it easily can be as it wraps onto your face and stays put), and once morning comes around, you peel it off to reveal bright, bouncy skin. “It doesn’t feel tight like a clay mask, which is nice. It was very satisfying to have what looks like literal glass skin, and then peel to reveal a supersoft complexion. I like the applicator because the product is very gooey (not sticky though), so it was easy to use,” says Glamour’s Calle. The best part? You can now grab it for $13! PS: Looking for more face masks? We also love the Medicube’s variety of sheet masks and the Collagen Jelly Cream for post-mask application.

Toner is one of our go-to beauty products post-facial cleanser, and if you’re looking for a gentle option that smooths lines and boosts glow, we love this peptide and niacinamide infused pick that’s 36% off. It also contains cica (AKA centella asiatica extract) which helps to minimize inflammation and redness, leaving you with a more even-toned complexion. “This is one of the most watery, refreshing formulas I’ve tried, and I love splashing it directly on my face for a cooling start to my skin-care routine. Try it if you dislike heavy toners; it goes on light and absorbs instantly. I also noticed how it made my skin tone look glowier and more even over the two weeks I tested it,” says Glamour contributor Sarah Y. Wu.

If you’re on the hunt for a new eye cream, this Medicube formula is one of the best Prime Day Beauty Deals at 27% off. It has a blend of peptides, niacinamide and squalane to minimize the appearance of dark circles and lines and improve skin texture. “I actually love taking this formula down past my undereyes and tapping a little on top of my cheeks too. The hydration lasts and lasts without getting greasy or clogging my pores. It also makes my skin feel so smooth. I’m impressed that the formula still feels relatively lightweight despite how moisturizing it is. Also—you only need the tiniest amount, so one tube will last you forever,” says Wu.

Best Vitamin C Deal: Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask

Hyperpigmentation can be a stubborn skin concern to deal with, which is why we love this exfoliating overnight mask chock full of dark-spot correcting turmeric and vitamin C. It softens the skin overnight, helps boost radiance and eliminates dead skin and blackheads, giving you a glowing finish by morning. “When I remove it, I love the soft and brighter skin that is revealed underneath,” says Glamour contributor Audrey Noble. “It has kojic acid and turmeric to lighten up my many acne scars (thank you hormonal acne), and the retinol and collagen helps firm my skin. Perfect doesn’t exist, but I’d argue that this mask is the closest thing to it—at least where overnight masks are concerned.”
