I use SBC gels for my up5. They are specifically designed for use with iontophoresis, galvanic and microcurrent devices. I also use them with face mate as conductive gel.
Got them at Ebay for great price.
You have a wide range of products: vit C, collagen, aloe etc.
All of them are ionized.

Regarding Up5 uses both Ponophoresis & Iontophoresis according to this:

Having been recently introduced by Beauty industry, this new unique, UP5, is a state- of -art multifunctional digital SKIN CARE SYSTEM which has Vitamin C iontophoresis, Cleansing ,Eye zone, Facial and Galvanic lifting mode.
Unique functions of UP-5.
UP-5 is a beauty appliance applied directly on the face.
1. Vertically vibration effect
When physical energy is vertically and directly applied on skin, it greatly enhances the skin's vitality.
2. Galvanic ion effect
¡ßLifting
Skin is galvanized with a micro alternating current, inducing repeated contraction and relaxation of facial muscles. Thus blood circulation and metabolism are more activated, tense muscles are relieved and flabby skin is lifted.
¡ß Cleansing
While cleansing, UP-5 emits negatively charged ions, which attract and remove positively charged dead cells and impurities, consequentially unclogging pores.
¡ß Massage
Transferred + ions promote alkaline substances to form in the deep layer of the skin, opening up the "barrier zone" on the surface. This is the state which allows the active ingredients of cosmetics to penetrate deep into the skin.
3. Vitamin C effect
Vitamin C, which is water-soluble, hardly passes through oil-soluble skin coat. However, ionized vitamin C does, revitalizing the skin and enhancing complexion by removing discolored spots.
4. Rhodium head.
Rhodium is a metal belonging to Platinum group and is 30% more costly than Platinum. It's most stabilizing and safe.
5. M.C.S. (magnetic, color, sound) effect
Magnetic force promotes blood circulation, and vitalizes and repairs skin. Red light (610-700nm of wavelength) vitalizes the skin and blue light (450-500nm of wavelength) calms the skin. Furthermore, you can choose your favorite music, using the input jack.
6. ¥á wave effect
Alpha waves, which are produced in the relaxing state, are most ideally combined to vitalize and calm skin. This function induces the stable state of skin.
7. eye-zone effect
This is a unique feature only to UP-5, which cares for eye areas with various frequency bands and intensity levels.
8. Verbal announcement
Each mode is aided with verbal guidance.
