One of the most photographed people in the world, Meghan Markle has rarely (if ever) been spotted with a blemish. Some may say it’s great genetics. Others? Expensive estheticians. But Markle chalks it up to this glow-inducing cream.
Not only is the Duchess of Sussex now giving Us a look into her world with her new Netflix show, With Love Meghan, she’s pulling back the curtain on her beauty routine. In a recent Instagram story, the mom of two shared her beauty “essentials,” which included finds like this viral lip mask and the cult-favorite Summer Friday’s lip balm.
However, one of most surprising (and delighting) things on her list was the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream. Not only is it a bestselling skincare pick, it’s also just $15! Considering it’s shopper- and royal-approved, this is a total steal . . . especially considering reviewers say it’s like “Botox in a jar.”
Infused with niacinamide and hydrolyzed collagen, this mask plumps the skin with ingredients that are guaranteed to provide hydration and radiance. Beyond just providing a glow, the mask aims to even out all skin tones for that Korean “glass skin” effect.
So you might be thinking “what the heck is hydrolyzed collagen?” This version of collagen is broken down into smaller bits, and according to the National Institute of Health, it has been proven effective in “moisture absorption, retention and anti-aging in skin.” The fact that it’s freeze dried into the cream means that it has a longer shelf life able to better service your skin. The effect? A boosted skin barrier and a firmer, bouncier complexion.
If that weren’t enough, it also contains more glow-boosting ingredients like squalene and hydrolyzed elastin. Squalene is a naturally derived lipid, according to the Cleveland Clinic that helps “seal in cosmetic products.”
If the Markle stamp-of-approval and power packed ingredient list weren’t enough, the over 2,500 five-star ratings are further proof of the cream’s effectiveness.
One shopper, who called the cream a “skin-firming dream,” raves, “hands down one of the best skincare products. My skin feels hydrated and firm, and after using it for a few weeks, I’ve definitely noticed my fine lines looking less noticeable,” they said. “I love that it gives my skin a healthy glow without being too greasy or heavy. The cream has become a staple in my nightly routine and I wake up to soft, smooth skin that feels truly nourished.”
Considering its glowing reviews, celebrity endorsement and skin-loving formula, we know it’s bound to deliver.
