Quick Answer
The MediCube Gatekeeping My Real Age Set collection holds the full bundle at $74.95 plus each of its five products sold on their own. Bought as singles, the five cost $131.75 together, so the set saves $56.80. Buy the set if you want three or more steps; buy singles if you only need one or two.
- The bundle: Gatekeeping My Real Age Set, $74.95 for 5 full sizes
- The singles: $19.95 to $30.95 each, $131.75 for all five
- Break-even point: almost any three singles cost more than the set
- Free US shipping: the set clears the $50 threshold on its own
Best for: shoppers deciding between the gatekeeping my age bundle and topping up one or two favorite steps.
Key Takeaways
- Same products, two ways to buy. Everything on this page is either the Gatekeeping My Real Age Set or one of the five products inside it.
- The set wins at three items. Any three singles that include the serum or the eye cream cost at least $75.85, already above the $74.95 bundle.
- Singles make sense for refills. Once the set runs out, the products rarely empty at the same time, so restocking one at a time is the normal pattern.
- Two steps contain retinol. The eye cream and the multi balm both list it, which matters if you are building your own mini version.
- Nothing here is vegan. The balm and eye cream use salmon-derived PDRN, so the whole bundle inherits that status.

What Is in the MediCube Gatekeeping My Real Age Set Collection
This collection exists for one reason: so you can see the MediCube Gatekeeping My Real Age Set and every product inside it on one screen, with prices side by side, and decide how you want to buy. People search for it as the gatekeeping my age set, the my real age set, or the gatekeeping my age bundle. They all mean the same five-step firming routine. If you want the full product-by-product review with routine notes and my six-week test, read my Gatekeeping My Real Age Set guide. This page is about the shopping decision.
Here is what you will find in the grid above, with current store prices:
- Gatekeeping My Real Age Set, $74.95. All five full sizes, bundled and shipped as one set.
- Triple Collagen Toner, $24.95. A 140 ml fast-absorbing toner with hydrolyzed, atelo and soluble collagen.
- NAD+ EGF Firming Serum, $30.95. A lightweight firming serum with NAD+ and EGF, two to three drops morning and night before cream.
- Triple Collagen Cream, $24.95. A collagen, niacinamide and nourishing-oil cream, renamed from the Triple Deep Erasing Cream without significant formula changes.
- PDRN Pink Collagen Volume Multi Balm, $19.95. A fragrance-free stick with 5% Volufiline, liposomal PDRN and 200 Dalton collagen, plus peptides, EGF, retinol, caffeine and hyaluronic acid.
- PDRN Pink Peptide Eye Cream, $30.95. A light, non-sticky eye cream with salmon DNA PDRN and high-purity retinol.
Gatekeeping My Age Set vs Buying Singles: The Math
I get asked this more than any question about the my real age set: is the bundle actually cheaper, or is it just a nice box? At current store prices, the answer is clear. The five singles add up to $131.75. The set is $74.95. That is $56.80 back in your pocket, a saving of roughly 43 percent.
The more useful question is where the break-even point sits, because not everyone wants all five steps. Here is how I work it out with patients:
- One product: buy the single. Even the two most expensive steps, the serum and the eye cream, are $30.95 each.
- Two products: still buy singles. The priciest pair, serum plus eye cream, comes to $61.90, which is less than the set.
- Three products: this is the tipping point. Any three that include the serum or the eye cream cost at least $75.85, so the full set is cheaper and you get two extra products. The only three-product combination that comes in under the set price is toner, cream and balm at $69.85.
- Four or five products: the set every time.
Shipping changes the picture slightly. Free US shipping starts at $50, and the set clears it on its own. A single balm at $19.95 does not, so if you only want one small step, it is worth pairing it with something else you were going to buy anyway. The eye cream and volume multi balm together come to $50.90, which crosses the line by itself and makes a tidy eye-area kit.
Price Table: Every Way to Buy the Gatekeeping Routine
All prices are current store prices. "Steps" means full-size products in the order.
| Option | Steps | Price | Free US Shipping? | Who It Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gatekeeping My Real Age Set | 5 | $74.95 | Yes | Anyone starting the full firming routine |
| All five singles | 5 | $131.75 | Yes | No one, unless the set is out of stock |
| Eye cream + multi balm | 2 | $50.90 | Yes | Under-eye and smile-line focus only |
| Serum + cream | 2 | $55.90 | Yes | People who already own a toner and eye cream |
| Miranda's Barrier Support Set | 4 | $66.95 | Yes | Irritated or reactive skin; shares the cream and eye cream |
If firming is not actually your goal, look sideways before you buy. The Affordable Glass Glow 7-Day Skincare Set at $66.95 is the better first purchase for pores and texture, and my Glass Glow set guide compares the two routines. Every bundle we carry sits together in the skincare sets collection.
What I Reordered After My Gatekeeping Set Ran Out
The part nobody tells you about bundles is that they do not run out evenly. I finished my own Gatekeeping My Real Age Set over a couple of months of nightly use, and the way it emptied is the best argument I have for keeping the singles in one collection.
First to go: the toner and the cream. These are the steps you use generously, morning and night, across the whole face and neck. They ran low well before anything else. I reordered the Triple Collagen Cream first because it had become my default moisturizer, and I have a separate Triple Collagen Cream review if that is the step you are curious about.
Next: the serum. Two to three drops does not sound like much, but twice a day adds up. When the serum ran out, I noticed the routine felt less complete, which told me it was doing more than I had given it credit for.
Last: the eye cream and the balm. Both are used in small amounts on small areas, so they lasted much longer. The balm in particular moved into my bag and became a daytime touch-up rather than a night step. My PDRN multi balm guide covers that use in more detail.
The practical takeaway: buy the set to start, then restock individual steps from this collection as each one runs low. Buying a second full set when only the toner is empty means sitting on spare eye cream for months. I would only repurchase the full bundle when three or more steps are empty at once, which, given the math above, is exactly when it becomes the cheaper option again.
This is my own experience on one face, not a clinical result. How fast you go through each product depends on how much you use and whether you apply morning and night.
How to Use the Set, or a Mini Version of It
Whether you buy the full gatekeeping my age bundle or two or three singles, the order stays the same: thinnest texture first, thickest last.
- Cleanse with your usual gentle cleanser. The set does not include one.
- Pat in the Triple Collagen Toner with your palms.
- Apply two to three drops of the NAD+ EGF Firming Serum to the face and neck.
- Tap the PDRN Pink Peptide Eye Cream along the orbital bone. Start every other night because it contains retinol.
- Seal with the Triple Collagen Cream.
- Swipe the Volume Multi Balm over smile lines, under-eyes and lips, or carry it for touch-ups over makeup.
- In the morning, finish with broad-spectrum SPF. Both the eye cream and the balm contain retinol.
If you are building a mini version, skip the steps you do not own and keep the order. Two retinol steps on the same night is fine for most people once their skin has adjusted, but introduce them one at a time. For the ingredient background, my explainer on what PDRN is and my MediCube eye cream guide go deeper.

Yes. At current store prices the five products cost $131.75 bought separately, and the Gatekeeping My Real Age Set is $74.95, a saving of $56.80. If you only want one or two of the products, buying singles is cheaper than the set.
Is the gatekeeping my age set the same as the my real age set?
Yes. The gatekeeping my age set, the my real age set and the gatekeeping my age bundle are all names people use for the MediCube Gatekeeping My Real Age Set. It contains the Triple Collagen Toner, NAD+ EGF Firming Serum, Triple Collagen Cream, PDRN Pink Collagen Volume Multi Balm and PDRN Pink Peptide Eye Cream.
Can I buy just one product from the Gatekeeping set?
Yes. All five products are sold individually in this collection, priced from $19.95 for the multi balm to $30.95 for the serum and eye cream. Singles are the easiest way to restock whichever step runs out first.
