Missed Prime Day? You can still shop the viral medicube cream for 55% off
If you blinked and missed the whirlwind that was Amazon Prime Day, you're not alone. But here's the good news: some of the best deals didn't vanish at midnight.
Case in point? The medicube Collagen Jelly Cream — yes, the viral, skin-plumping K-beauty favorite —was a jaw-dropping 55% off for Prime Day, and the discount has been quietly extended. No gatekeeping here: it's still available now.
For anyone who's skin-obsessed or even just 'skin-curious,' this jelly-textured miracle worker is the product to know. Formulated with collagen, niacinamide and medicube's signature freeze-dried hydrolyzed collagen spheres, it's a product I keep revisiting on my beauty shelf (and believe me, that's fully stocked).

The Collagen Jelly Cream helps restore bounce, hydration and elasticity to skin that's feeling tired, dry, or just plain blah. The freeze-dried tech? Legitimately cool. It allows the active ingredients to stay ultra-potent until the moment they touch your skin. It's that K-beauty product that simply *works.*
After reviewing quite possibly every medicube product, the feel of this formula is one that keeps me coming back. Hey, there's a reason why even Prime Day wanted you to come back to it after it was over.
If you've spent any time scrolling through skincare TikTok or K-beauty YouTube lately, you've likely seen creators raving about medicube's unique delivery system. The jelly melts into skin like a dream, and I swear, its ability to visibly plump fine lines and firm sagging areas with regular use is impressive. I've never been self-conscious over fine lines, but I can see why reviewers dub it 'Botox in a jar.'
And, this is where timing matters. At full price, medicube's Collagen Jelly Cream is somewhat of an investment. But at 55% off? This is the rare instance when high-end skincare actually becomes accessible. And with the sale still live post-Prime Day (because the universe sometimes throws us a bone), this is your window to stock up or finally see what all the fuss is about.
Part of what sets this cream apart is its texture. If you're over heavy moisturizers that feel like a layer of wax, this one's for you. The lightweight, bouncy jelly sinks in instantly, leaving behind a velvety finish with zero greasiness. It's a godsend for summer, when skin still craves hydration but everything heavy feels like a trap.
More than just a feel-good formula, this cream delivers real ingredients with real impact. Alongside the collagen spheres, it packs niacinamide for brightening and peptides for skin barrier support. That means you're getting a triple-threat treatment all in one: hydration, firming and tone-evening.
Let's talk packaging, too. This medicube product doesn't mess around. The sleek pink jar feels luxe but minimal, and it comes with a hygienic spatula to keep things clean (always a plus when it comes to skincare longevity). There's a quiet sense of ritual in scooping out the jelly and watching it melt into skin. If you're someone who wants skincare to feel like self-care, this absolutely checks the box.
Even if you're not normally someone who dives into Amazon deals, this one deserves a pause.
Bottom line: If glowing, lifted, hydrated skin is even remotely on your mood board, medicube's Collagen Jelly Cream is worth the add-to-cart moment. The 55% discount won't last forever (seriously — it's not a 'forever sale'), so whether you're a longtime fan or a curious first-timer, this extended post-Prime Day deal is one you'll want to grab before it disappears completely. Your future face will thank you.

Pregnant Woman Forced Into Heartbreaking Decision—Her Life or Five Babies
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After finding out she was pregnant with five babies, one woman had to make a heartbreaking decision to save her own life and the lives of two of her unborn children. Chelsae Michelle Jenner and her husband already had three sons, but they wanted to try for one more as they could finally have a girl. They went through intrauterine insemination (IUI), and, just nine days later, she got the exciting news that she was pregnant. But, by the time her pregnancy reached five weeks and four days, the joy faded, only to be replaced with heartbreak. Jenner, who resides in Austin, Texas, discovered that there were five sacs and potentially a sixth. She told Newsweek that it was "a very dangerous situation." "My doctor immediately told me this wasn't good news," Jenner said. "Based on my weight and only being 5 feet tall, the risk of severe consequences carrying all five was very high." From left: Chelsae Jenner poses during her pregnancy; and with the twins. From left: Chelsae Jenner poses during her pregnancy; and with the twins. @chelsaejenner / TikTok Jenner said she and her husband were told they had a difficult decision to make. Their options were to either continue carrying all five babies and hope they survived, or to undergo a fetal reduction. The latter would hopefully save the lives of two babies and save Jenner's life, too. The gravity of this lifechanging decision left Jenner utterly broken, she said. Jenner continued: "From six weeks, we had to watch the babies weekly. We didn't know what we wanted to do, but we were encouraged to wait and see if nature would take its course and they passed naturally. "The pregnancy also caused me to have heart issues. I needed a heart monitor to watch my heart, because, at rest, it was 120 to 130 bpm. My heart was already working way too hard, pumping so much blood for five babies. I also had kidney issues and liver issues at just six weeks." By eight weeks, Jenner learned that the fifth baby no longer had a heartbeat, and one of the babies may have Turner Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects only females. All Jenner ever wanted was a baby girl. From left: The dad holds the surviving twins; and Chelsea cradles them. From left: The dad holds the surviving twins; and Chelsea cradles them. @chelsaejenner / TikTok The grief started to set in, but she was still mentally prepared to carry the remaining four babies. Her body was physically struggling, but she was willing to do whatever it took. During a 10-week consultation, the couple were given a sheet with statistics about what their life could be like if Jenner carried the four babies to term. "The consultant took into account my BMI and my health issues, and it put me at 60 percent mortality rate due to complications or hemorrhage," Jenner said. "She showed us the disabilities the babies were at risk of, with a 90 percent chance of one or more having them. "She asked about our financial situation and if we could afford children with disabilities. She asked about our other children; how would they do with their parents giving all their attention to four babies who may have special needs," she continued. Jenner had spent so long believing that it was selfish to let them go, but after realizing what the family's reality could look like, she came to see that sparing their lives was a selfless act. "No one understands until they read that paper, and their life changes in an instant. After we read that paper, my decision was clear," Jenner said. The decision to undergo fetal reduction was made at 10 weeks. This requires inserting a needle into the sac of the chosen baby and stopping their heart. Jenner had to wait until 12 weeks to ensure Baby A and Baby B were big enough, but she was assured that they wouldn't feel pain. She couldn't choose herself, so the doctor took that burden and showed them moving around on the ultrasound before stopping their hearts. Jenner was then monitored weekly to ensure the remaining twins were growing, and that her body was coping. The twins were born at 33 weeks and six days, but to Jenner, they will always be her quintuplets. From left: Chelsae Jenner poses with her twins in hospital, who are pictured together in 2025.

Back then, she felt like no one understood what she was going through, so she hopes to provide support for any other women facing this. Many of her TikTok posts have gone viral, with one clip documenting her devastating pregnancy generating over 1.5 million views and more than 66,000 likes. Jenner said: "I felt tired of hiding my pain. They are a massive reason I'm still here and why the twins are thriving. The more I silenced their journey, the more I silenced them, and it made them not feel real. By sharing this, I hope our story can reach someone walking this same journey and to know they are not alone. "Every time I think of them, the exact moment we chose to save our babies will haunt me forever. But I have learned to accept those feelings and know that the decision was the best-possible outcome," Jenner added. Is there a health issue that's worrying you?

Security Cam Shows Husband Kissing Wife—No One Knew It Was Goodbye
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman from West Virginia caught a goodnight kiss from her husband, not knowing it would be her last moment with him. Crystal Samson posted footage from their bedroom camera on her TikTok (@beware868), which showed her husband, Charlie, leaning in to kiss her, just before the couple went to sleep on the night of July 6, 2024. "It was a normal day for us," Crystal, a mom of two, told Newsweek. "He came home from work. We were talking about my uncle passing away that same day; and he looked at our oldest son and said, 'You never know; we are here today and gone tomorrow,' and we had no idea he would shortly have to leave us behind." Black and white still images from a home security camera showing a married couple in bed. Black and white still images from a home security camera showing a married couple in bed. @beware868 After reminiscing over photos from a recent family trip to Florida, the couple went to bed. Crystal remembers her husband falling asleep unusually early. As he wrapped his arms around her, he kissed her shoulder—something he had never done before in their 19 years together. "I was a different energy and a different kind of touch that I felt," Crystal said. "It's like he said goodbye in some way." Moments later, she felt his breathing change. Charlie started jerking—something Crystal said sometimes happened when he was falling asleep—but, this time, his body jolted hard, and he fell onto his back. "I flipped the light on and was screaming his name, asking him to answer me," Crystal said. "He was mumbling but couldn't speak. I called 911 [and] told them he has shallow breathing—he was slowly slipping away in front of me and our sons." Their two boys, ages 13 and 16 at the time, witnessed a distressing scene. Crystal and her older son moved Charlie to the floor and began CPR until emergency responders arrived. At the hospital, Crystal made it there first. Ten to 15 minutes after emergency medical services arrived, they told Crystal they had done everything they could. Crystal said: "I [asked] the doctor to tell all of us together as a family as this was hard for me to comprehend and even tell my boys there is no hope. We all said goodbye to him that night." Charlie had previously survived a "widowmaker" heart attack in February 2024, which left his heart functioning at only 15 percent. Still, he returned to work shortly after receiving stents—refusing to slow down. "He was a hardworking family man, loved us unconditionally and always provided," Crystal said. "Everyone was asking him to slow down, but his words [were], 'My family has to survive; I have to pay bills.' He was a provider and showed his love to us daily." The couple's relationship together hadn't been easy. Both Charlie and Crystal had struggled with addiction and served time in prison for drug-related charges in 2011. But, after their release, they rebuilt their lives, regained custody of their children, stayed sober, secured jobs and even purchased their home in 2022. "It's like he provided all he could and then got tired, but he made sure we were sheltered and provided for," Crystal said. Now navigating life without him, Crystal added that she leans on her faith, her kids and her healing journey. "[I'm] continuing to exercise, staying focused on my health and my mental health, crying when I need to, talking to others, posting videos in his memory, and, of course, a big part is our children," Crystal said. "I often listen to music that helps me deal with it and I talk to God."

Mom Checks Baby Cam During Toddler's Nap—Can't Cope With What She's Doing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mom from Spain couldn't believe what she caught her toddler doing during her nap time. Loesje Brouns, based in Móstoles, Madrid, shared baby-cam footage to her TikTok, @ where she expected to see her sleeping. But, instead, 11-month-old Bella had different ideas; she is wide awake and waving directly at the camera. Still images taken from the baby-monitor camera of Bella up close. Still images taken from the baby-monitor camera of Bella up close. @ In the clip, you can hear Loesje laughing as the text overlay reads: "Hola hola estoy despierta mami," which translates as: "Hello, hello, I'm awake, mommy." Translated via Google Translate, Loesje told Newsweek that she put Bella down for a nap at around 1 p.m., but after a while, noticed that her baby had woken up. "She sat up in bed, started looking directly at the camera—which I thought was funny, so I started recording—and then she started waving at the camera," Loesje said. Nap time can be one of the most challenging parts of the day for toddlers and their parents. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine says that children between 6 and 12 months typically need two to three naps per day, but, as they get older, their sleep needs and patterns change. Frida Rångtell, Ph.D., sleep educator and scientific adviser at Napper, an app that helps babies sleep better, previously told Newsweek that a good night's sleep also starts in the morning. "To strengthen the baby's circadian rhythm, expose them to daylight during the day and reduce light exposure at night [to] help improve their sleep," Rångtell said. Separation anxiety, increased mobility and cognitive leaps—such as understanding how a baby monitor camera works—can also affect how easily a child goes down for a nap, or whether they stay asleep at all. Loesje's clip has gone viral on TikTok, amassing more than 3.9 million views and over 581,000 likes. Hundreds commented, with stories of their own toddler's bedtime antics. Translated from Spanish to English, one user wrote: "When my daughter starts playing instead of sleeping, I tell her to sleep from the bed and she says there's a girl in the camera, and no matter how much I explain to her that it's me, she doesn't understand, but she does listen to that girl the first time." Others found Bella's face so close to the camera hilarious. "It looks like a horror movie," another commented. "My reaction was to laugh a lot because it was the first time she waved at me through the camera to get me to come get her," Loesje said. "I thought it was very clever of her."
