Meghan Markle has endorsed the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream, an £18 K-beauty moisturiser that promises to make pores smaller and skin smoother. The product, which has a jelly-like texture, was included in a list of her favourite beauty products shared on Instagram.
Product Details and Benefits
The 50ml tub is priced at £17.99 and contains freeze-dried hydrolyzed collagen, niacinamide, squalene, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients work together to hydrate, plump, and firm the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles while improving elasticity and the moisture barrier. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, creating a radiant 'glass skin' effect.
According to the brand, the cream is designed to enhance facial contours and boost firmness, giving skin an immediate tight and radiant appearance. It has become a viral sensation, with a celebrity fan base that includes Molly-Mae Hague and Kylie Jenner.
Customer Reviews and Ratings
At Sephora, the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream holds a 4.7-star rating. One shopper commented: 'Am on my 3rd pot. Excellent product. Leaves skin feeling hydrated with a "Korean glow". Absorbs well.' Another wrote: 'Worth it. My skin has changed so much using this. My pores are smaller and skin texture has gone smoother.'
However, some users reported mixed results. One said: 'Bought this after seeing the reviews but I feel it's not for me as I started breaking out after using so have given it a break might try again and see.' Another warned: 'Doesn't feel great on oily acne prone skin. Feels really heavy.'
Despite these concerns, many praised the product. One reviewer noted: 'Absolutely love this product. The first use I could see the difference and it keeps getting better.' Another added: 'I haven't been using it for very long but I have noticed the improved hydration for my skin. I do find it a little sticky when it is first applied but once it's been absorbed, it tends to feel less sticky. You don't need to use a lot of the product so it is very cost effective.'
Alternatives and Comparisons
For those preferring a traditional cream formula, the Dynasty Cream from Beauty Of Joseon is a K-beauty alternative priced at £21 for 50ml or £39.50 for 100ml. It contains rice bran water and ginseng root water to smooth wrinkles and leave skin dewy and plump. Another option is the Anua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid 100 Moisturising Cream at £24 for 60ml, which uses PDRN, hyaluronic acid, and collagen to brighten and hydrate dull skin.
According to Faith Richardson, Senior Digital Style and Shopping Writer, the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream is not only the most affordable option but also highly praised by beauty lovers at Sephora.
