Meghan Markle’s ‘Botox in a tub’ collagen cream reduced in deal

Shoppers are snapping up a collagen cream that they have praised for giving them ‘smooth and shiny’ skin, comparable to Botox. What’s more, the product can be secured for less than £3 thanks to a limited-time deal – and it’s simple to sign up.

The Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream (50ml) is currently available from Sephora for £17.99. However, with TopCashback, shoppers can get it for less. For new members who sign up to TopCashback and all customers of Sephora, the cream can be snapped up for £2.69 after cashback. However, for existing members of TopCashback and customers of Sephora, it’s £17.69 after cashback.

According to Hello!, Meghan Markle included the product in her ‘handpicked curated collection’ of beauty buys on Instagram. The product is described as ‘a transparent anti-aging jelly cream’ enriched with freeze-dried hydrolysed collagen and niacinamide, helping it enhance facial contours, promote firmness, and achieve an immediate ‘Korean Glass Glow’ effect, the site says.

The product contains 98% hydrolysed collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and squalane to help improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and strengthen the moisture barrier while evening out skin tone, according to the brand. To use the product, shoppers should apply an appropriate amount along the skin texture in the last step of their skincare routine and pat lightly for absorption.

For a cheaper alternative, shoppers could buy this L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Collagen Day Cream with SPF 30 for £15.99. Specially formulated for women aged 50+, the site says, this rich cream delivers deep nourishment and absorbs into the skin ‘without any greasy or sticky feel’. It has been formulated with niacinamide and micro collagen peptide.

Or at Boots, there’s this Boots Collagen Night Cream (50ml) for £13.20. This delicate and lightweight moisturiser formula is said to deliver overnight moisture while helping to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles for smoother, younger-looking skin.

Back to the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream, shoppers have left rave reviews. On LookFantastic, a fan of the cream said: “I have been having Botox for the last five years (I’m 37). Have missed my last session since moving to a new area, busted this out the cupboard and suddenly got more compliments about how smooth and shiny my forehead is. (People have said), “have you had a top up?”, “when did you get Botox” etc. It’s saved my life.”

A second wrote: “This collagen gel is simple to use and leaves my skin feeling fresh and well hydrated the following morning. I highly recommend it. It has to remain in my essential beauty box preparation.”

While a third said: “Feels great on skin. Gives the glass skin look and it’s a good primer, too, as it’s quite sticky. Definitely worth the purchase.”

Others left some feedback for the product, with one leaving four stars and writing: “Slightly heavy moisturiser and too heavy for makeup. However this is a great night moisturiser.”

Another said: “Really nice cream, I like the thick gel formula. Only downside is it takes a while to sink in but perfect for use at night.”
