I thought I was cool for getting one for $215, but you can be even cooler with this $169 bundle deal.

I’m a skincare dork. So much so that two Black Fridays ago, I bought Medicube’s viral fancy pants skincare wand for $215. In the dark ages of 2023, you couldn’t even buy Medicube’s products on Amazon so I felt pretty, pretty slick getting 40 percent off of a $330 luxury skincare device.

Well, I sure do feel salty now because Amazon has a deal on a fancier, limited edition version of the Medicube Booster Pro plus the company’s TXA Niacinamide serum for $169. Or, 44 percent off the list price. To rub even more salt in the wound, my version of the wand only has one mode. This one has four.

Listen, I’m going to use my version until it dies out of sheer bitterness and principle. But if you’ve got a Korean skincare nerd in your life, sighing at night, doomscrolling because TikTok keeps shoving influencers yapping about how Hailey Bieber uses this into their feed? This is a neat little splurge gift for them at a great price.
