Trend Hunter picked up our Booster Gel line and described it the way we'd describe it ourselves: skincare built to work with a tool.
Trend Hunter, a trend research platform that tracks what's next in beauty and consumer products, featured the BALOOM Booster Gel line on September 22:
"Multi-Functional Booster Gels: BALOOM Designs Skincare for Gua Sha and Microcurrent Routines"
— Trend Hunter
Their write-up noted that BALOOM is "expanding multi-functional booster gels with three targeted formulas designed to function as standalone treatments while supporting gua sha and microcurrent routines."
It started with one gel that worked
Before there was a line, there was the Collagen Booster Gel. It's the product that built BALOOM on Amazon, where customers kept coming back to the same two things: how it feels, and how well it glides with a gua sha or microcurrent device.
That feedback became the blueprint. Every gel that followed, Peptide, Hydro, and Phyto-PDRN, keeps Collagen's texture rule and changes what's inside it:
Rich on touch, weightless after. The gel stays cushiony for about 3 to 5 minutes, which is the length of a typical gua sha or microcurrent session, then melts in naturally with no wiping and no residue.
For microcurrent, that layer does real work. Dry skin won't feel the current, so the gel is the conductor that lets the device do its job. And on the days you skip the tool, it's simply your moisturizer. That's the multi-functional part.
Which Booster Gel today?
They all work with a tool. The difference is what your skin needs that morning.
Collagen — start here. 5X collagen, a 6-power core booster, and 7-layer hyaluronic acid. Reach for it when skin looks flat and tired and you want bounce and a glass-skin glow. If you own one Booster Gel, make it this one.
Peptide — for contour days. A pink jelly gel with visible peptide capsules and a 5-peptide complex. Use it when your focus is firmness along the jawline and cheeks, especially on the nights you're actually going to use the microcurrent device.
Hydro — for hot, tired, puffy skin. The cooling one. Moisture-filled capsules lowered skin temperature by 8.9°F (4.92°C) immediately after use in clinical testing.* Good for a puffy morning, a sunburn-adjacent afternoon, or right before foundation.
Phyto-PDRN — for glow without shine. An amber pudding-texture gel with plant-based PDRN, idebenone, and niacinamide. The pick for oily or combination skin, and for days when skin looks dull but the last thing you want is more slickness.
Not sure? Use Collagen in the morning and whichever targeted gel fits your concern at night. Two tubes cover almost everything.
How to run a session
- Cleanse, then apply a generous layer of the gel you picked.
- While it's still cushiony, glide your gua sha or microcurrent device from the chin upward and outward along the jawline, cheeks, and forehead.
- Let the rest melt in. Sunscreen in the morning; nothing else at night.
Three to five minutes, one product, two jobs.
*Clinical test by The K Dermatology Research Center, May 6–7, 2026, 21 female participants; skin temperature measured before use and immediately after use. Individual results may vary.
