PRODUCT & USE
Is this product suitable for all skin types?
Yes. The Collagen Booster Gel is suitable for most skin types, including dry and combination skin. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture absorbs easily without feeling heavy.
What are the key ingredients in this formula?
The formula features collagen, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and skin-conditioning ingredients designed to hydrate, support the skin barrier, and improve overall skin texture.
How does this gel work with microcurrent or facial massage devices?
This gel is specially formulated to provide optimal slip and conductivity when used with microcurrent or facial massage devices. It helps ensure smooth movement across the skin while supporting hydration during treatment.
Can I use this gel without a device?
Yes. While it is designed to pair well with facial massage or microcurrent devices, the gel can also be used on its own as a hydrating step in your skincare routine.
What exactly is TECA?
TECA is a high-purity active extracted from Centella Asiatica (Cica), isolating only its most effective components. Compared to regular Centella extract, TECA offers enhanced soothing benefits and helps strengthen the skin barrier, calming irritated skin while delivering hydration.
The ampoule has a slightly unusual scent. Is it safe to use?
Yes, it's completely safe! This product contains a high concentration of TECA and does not include artificial fragrance. As a result, you may notice the natural scent of the raw ingredient. This is normal and does not affect product performance or safety.
The color or scent seems to have changed slightly over time. Can I still use it?
Due to the high concentration of active ingredients, slight changes in color or scent may occur over time. This is a natural characteristic of high-potency formulations and does not indicate product spoilage. For best quality, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. We recommend using the product within 12 months after opening (24 months unopened).
I noticed white residue around the bottle opening. Is this normal?
This serum contains a high concentration of niacinamide. When exposed to air or when moisture evaporates, some crystallization may occur, appearing as white residue. This is a normal phenomenon in high-strength formulas. Simply wipe the opening after use to keep it clean.
The clear serum looks slightly different in color than when I first opened it. Is that normal?
Yes! Minor color changes may occur depending on storage conditions or interaction with air, but this does not affect the efficacy of the product. For best freshness, use within 12 months after opening (24 months unopened) and store away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Can I use this with vitamin C or other active skincare products?
Because this serum contains a high level of niacinamide, using it together with other strong actives (such as vitamin C) may cause temporary tingling or mild irritation, depending on your skin condition. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend alternating usage or adjusting frequency based on your skin’s tolerance.
I feel slight tingling when I use it for the first time. Is that normal?
Retinal is highly effective for improving skin elasticity but may require an adjustment period. We recommend starting with a small amount 2–3 times per week, then gradually increasing to nightly use as your skin adapts.
Why should this product only be used at night, and why is sunscreen necessary in the morning?
Retinal is sensitive to light and heat, and it may temporarily increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Use this product only at night, and apply sunscreen the following morning to protect your skin.
Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use this product?
We do not recommend use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This product contains retinal, and during these periods the skin can be more sensitive due to hormonal changes. Please use after pregnancy and breastfeeding are completed.
The cream has a distinctive scent. Has it gone bad?
No. This product contains no artificial fragrance. The scent comes from retinal itself and may resemble a slightly bitter herbal note, metallic vitamin scent, or grain-like aroma. This is a natural characteristic of high-performance active ingredients and does not indicate a defect.
What does the Microcurrent Face Massager do?
The device uses gentle microcurrent technology and vibration to help support firmer-looking skin, improve facial contour, and promote a smoother, more refreshed appearance over time.
Do I need to use a gel or serum with the device?
Yes. A conductive gel, serum, or mask is recommended to help the microcurrent glide smoothly across the skin and reach targeted areas comfortably while minimizing irritation.
I don’t feel the microcurrent when using the device. Is it working?
Yes. Microcurrent technology operates at a low level and may not always be strongly felt. Sensation can vary depending on skin condition, product used, and treatment area.
How often should I use the device?
For best results, use the device for up to 10 minutes per session. We recommend daily use for the first few weeks, then maintaining results with use several times per week.
Who should not use this device?
This device is not recommended for individuals with implanted medical devices (such as pacemakers), those who are pregnant, or anyone with specific medical concerns without first consulting a healthcare professional.
SUSTAINABILITY

Our formulas are developed with a minimalist philosophy - prioritizing essential, high-performance ingredients and avoiding unnecessary additives. By focusing on purposeful formulations, we aim to reduce ingredient excess while maintaining efficacy and skin comfort.
We are continuously working to improve the sustainability of our packaging. Wherever possible, we use recyclable materials and responsibly sourced paper components, including FSC-certified packaging and soy-based inks. Sustainability is an ongoing commitment, and we continue to evolve our practices thoughtfully.
All BALOOM products are developed and manufactured in South Korea, in facilities that meet strict quality and safety standards. South Korea’s advanced skincare expertise allows us to focus on precision formulation, stability, and performance.
