Why the medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 skincare device is worth it
Share this @internewscast.com

Let’s dive into the world of skincare gadgets. Because if we’re honest, who hasn’t been tempted by that stylish advertisement, the influencer with flawless skin, or the promise that this tiny device will undo the effects of late-night Netflix marathons under harsh lighting while snacking on cheese puffs?

Introducing the medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 — a name that might remind you of a spaceship but is actually created to give your face the appearance of having collagen smoothies for breakfast.

From the perspective of someone who reviews and reports on top beauty brands for a career, I can assure you that medicube is definitely a brand to consider. Now, its latest device is creating the same buzz.

This snazzy Korean-made device is marketed as a “2-in-1 high-frequency + microcurrent” tool. Translation: it uses tiny zaps and heat to wake up your collagen, tighten any sagging skin and lift those brows like a pop diva hitting a high note.

According to medicube, it’s the closest you can get to a med spa treatment without leaving your house (and, that’s always a plus).


If you’re in the mood for a skincare investment, this device feels like unwrapping tech from the future. It’s white, sleek and vaguely resembles something that might take your temperature — or steal your Wi-Fi.

As far as aesthetics go, it checks every box. Just don’t expect it to fit neatly in your carry-on unless you travel with a dedicated “skincare gadgets only” suitcase (no judgment if you do).

How it works

No goopy gel? Count me in. The medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 glides over your skin, gently warming as it goes, thanks to its 40.68 MHz frequency — which, according to science (and medicube’s marketing team), is the sweet spot for stimulating collagen. There’s also a microcurrent setting that tightens like your face just did Pilates. The experience is warm, slightly tingly and weirdly satisfying.

Most reviewers say it’s like a cozy face sauna. The Ultra Tune comes with six interchangeable heads, each designed to contour around your face like a skincare GPS. There’s one for cheeks, one for your jawline and one for around your eyes. It’s basically the Swiss Army knife of facial tools.

Bonus: It makes you feel like a highly-trained beauty assassin on a mission to slay wrinkles.

It’s easy to use, and you don’t need a special gel. Simply use the Ultra Tune after your skincare products have fully absorbed. It will help boost your skin’s radiance and elasticity when used consistently, which is the best part.

People are seeing real results, too. Reviewers have posted everything from “my cheeks look lifted” to “I finally have cheekbones and didn’t have to contour.” And yes, we’re talking after just a few uses. But others say it’s more of a “slow and steady wins the race” situation. TL;DR: this isn’t a Disney princess transformation; consistency is key.

You can also maximize your results with the AGE-R App that features custom guide videos, a tracking calendar, visual progress tracking and personalized settings for your best experience. It’s like a one-on-one consultation with your facialist.

Let’s not tiptoe around it — this baby is $299. That’s not exactly pocket change. But, compared to repeated spa visits, it’s a steal. The real question is: will you actually use it three times a week, or will it become the world’s fanciest dust collector? That’s up to you to decide.

The bottom line

If you’re skincare-obsessed, love a tech-forward approach, or just want to pretend you’re giving yourself a facial while watching “Bridgerton,” this device is for you. If your ideal skincare routine is “splash water and hope for the best,” maybe skip it.

Honestly? The medicube Age-R Ultra Tune 40.68 brings the science and the sizzle. It’s not perfect, it’s not cheap but it works if you commit to using it consistently. It’s only worth it if you consider this device like a skincare marriage of sorts, not a fling.

If you’re tired of overpriced creams that promise the world and deliver very little, this device is a solid investment. It’s bougie. It’s bold. It’s your new skincare BFF with benefits. Just remember: good skin takes time, tech and maybe a little caffeine.
