A good beauty gadget can do wonders for the beauty routine.

SK-II launched its first gadget, the Magnetic Wand, for use with its Stempower Eye Cream some two years ago. Made to boost absorption and gently massage the delicate eye area, it taps on the waves of bi-polar magnetic particles.

Earlier this month, SK-II debuted its second gadget act with the new Magnetic Booster – which looks like a spinning top but with a flat base – at Shilla Duty Free in Changi Airport.

To be used together with the RNA Power Cream and RNA Essence, the Magnetic Booster uses a magnetic micro pulse technology to deliver up to 7,000 gentle vibration per minute, so skin is massaged and the active ingredients are absorbed deeper into the skin.

After application of the the skincare product, slide the Booster from the centre of the face, outwards.

Powered by two LR 44 batteries (the small tablet-sized, flat and silver ones), the Booster definitely worked for me.

The RNA cream is relatively rich and hydrates the skin thoroughly. With the Booster, the product is completely absorbed without a sticky finish in two minutes. If I used my fingertips, I reckon I’ll have to take twice as long to totally massage the cream into my skin.

Even better, the massage with the Booster visibly lifts and firms my face subtly, just after one use.
