Facial microcurrent devices have been a staple in professional skincare treatments for years, delivering benefits like brighter, plumper, and firmer skin through low-level electrical stimulation. As with other once-exclusive treatments like LED therapy and microneedling, microcurrent technology is now widely available in at-home devices, making it easier than ever to achieve professional-level results in your own bathroom.

To get the most out of your microcurrent device, you’ll need to pair it with a conductive formula (typically a microcurrent gel or water-based or microcurrent serum) to allow the current to pass effectively to the skin. The formula must be water-based and oil-free as the current passes easily through water but is blocked by oils. 

From the best conductive gel for face treatments to water-based microcurrent serums, we’ve rounded up the best products to use with your microcurrent device.

Microcurrent devices are non-invasive tools that deliver low-level electrical currents to the skin. The electrical current flows between two conductors (usually as rods in salon devices and as spheres in at-home ones). When both of these touch your skin, the current passes through your muscles, helping to tone them and create a more lifted appearance. Providing painless and immediate results, microcurrent devices are also loved for their ability to stimulate collagen and elastic production, boost circulation, and enhance the absorption of your favourite skincare products.

A conductive serum is a type of skincare designed to enhance the effectiveness of beauty treatments that rely on electrical currents, such as microcurrent facials. These serums are formulated with ingredients that are often water-based to help conduct electricity across the skin, allowing currents from your microcurrent device to penetrate more deeply and evenly. They can be applied directly to the skin before using your electrical skincare devices to enhance the absorption of the active ingredients in the serum and improve the results of your electrical treatment.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title= »What products can you use with a microcurrent device? »][vc_column_text]

To get the most out of your microcurrent device, it’s essential to use products that enhance conductivity and provide additional skincare benefits. They should be water-based and free from oils, as these can block the microcurrent from effectively reaching the skin. Ranging from face masks and moisturisers to eye creams and serums, scroll on for the best products to use with your microcurrent device.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title= »Best moisturisers to use »][vc_column_text]

When it comes to choosing the moisturiser you’d like to use with your device, opt for formulas that are lightweight, non-greasy, and water-based. These won’t interfere with the conductivity of the microcurrent and can boost the effectiveness of the treatment, all while providing your skin with the ultimate hydration boost.

For intense moisture without the heaviness, we love the The INKEY List’s Omega Water Cream. Another great option is the Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer which soothes, smooths, and provides up to 48 hours of hydration. If you’re after a natural, healthy glow, try Holika Holika’s 99% Soothing Gel, which absorbs quickly for a deeply moisturised, non-sticky finish.

Pairing the right serum with your microcurrent device not only significantly enhances the effectiveness of your device but provides the skin with a range of benefits. These include deeper hydration, improved skin tone, and anti-ageing effects. 

Water-based, soothing serums such as Peter Thomas Roth’s Water Drench® Hyaluronic Liquid Gel Cloud Serum Solution work best, allowing your microcurrent device to glide seamlessly over your face and get to work. For a softening, barrier-strengthening boost, the haruharu wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Essence offers a lightweight, nutrient-rich formula that calms, revitalises, and protects the skin. If brighter skin is your goal, The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA deeply nourishes with a potent dose of hyaluronic acid, while reducing the appearance of marks, scars, hyperpigmentaion, and age spots.

Using a face mask with your microcurrent device is a great way to soothe and nourish the skin. Ideal if you prefer to use your microcurrent device before bed, face masks can be left on after your treatment for long-term hydration.

The best face masks are water-based and have a silky texture, like the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask, so that your device can slip easily over the skin without dragging. Dreaming of a smoother, firmer complexion? The Medicube PDRN Booster Gel works with your device to calm irritation, improve elasticity, and strengthen the skin barrier. Hydrating and revitalising the skin, the Numbuzin No.6 Deep Sleep Mask Serum also works wonders, offering long-term hydration for ultra-thirsty skin types.

For a quick fix for tired eyes, incorporating an eye cream into your microcurrent routine can give your skin the wake-up call it needs. Since the eye area is delicate, opt for gentle, lightweight, and hydrating formulas like the Laneige Water Bank Blye Hyaluronic Eye Cream. When paired with your device, these creams help firm, brighten, and reduce puffiness and fine lines, leaving your eyes looking refreshed and youthful.

If dark circles are your concern, COSRX’s Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream is a must-have. Powered by plumping snail secretion filtrate and brightening niacinamide, it nourishes and firms the under-eye area while reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Another top contender is the the ultra-brightening innisfree Green Tea Caffeine Bright-Eye Serum. Packed with Beauty Green Tea™ and caffeine, it visibly moisturises and firms the skin around the eyes while targetting dark circles and dullness.

Face mists are a perfect addition to your microcurrent routine, especially if you’re looking to maintain hydration without disrupting conductivity. Ideal for prepping the skin or rehydrating during longer treatments, a good face mist should be lightweight, water-based, and packed with skin-loving ingredients. Spritzing between sections can help maintain slip for your device and enhance skincare absorption.

For a refreshing hydration boost, the By BEAUTY BAY Hyaluronic Acid + Sea Moss Hydrating Face Mist is a great pick. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid and sea moss to replenish and support the skin barrier. The Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Cucumber, and Green Tea is another favourite, with calming botanicals and a lightweight feel that leaves skin cool and revitalised. For a serum-in-a-spray option, try Glow Hub’s Barrier Builder Serum Mist, hydrating and soothing while rebalancing the skin.
