Meghan Markle's go-to Boots moisturiser ‘feels so fresh in hot summer'
This cult-favourite gel-cream moisturizer not only helps to plump and smooth the skin, but also feels amazingly refreshing in hot weather – and the Duchess of Sussex is a fan When the weather's warm, like the current heatwave we're experiencing this week, you might not feel like applying heavy serums and creams to your skin (and this might not be what your skin needs, either). Luckily, we've found a much-loved K-beauty formula now available at Boots that's perfect for this time of year – and it even gets the celebrity seal of approval. Earlier this year Meghan Markle launched a ShopMy page featuring some of her favourite fashion and beauty products. While this site has now been updated, we couldn't help but note down some of her recommendations, and one of them was Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream. Recently launched into Boots, priced at £26 for a 110ml jar, this anti-ageing cream is also available in a 50ml pot on Amazon for £14.49 at the moment. As its name suggests, Medicube's Collagen Jelly Cream really does have a consistency like jelly – bouncy and refreshing – and contains 98% of hydrolysed collagen, which the brand says "offers an anti-aging effect to improve skin elasticity". Having tried it ourselves, we can confirm that it feels lovely and cooling on hot skin; you could even keep it in the fridge for extra depuffing powers. Shoppers have also been quick to praise how useful it is in the heat, with one Amazon shopper writing: "This stuff feels so good going on, especially living in the south in the hot summer, it feels so fresh!". "I'm finding it's very nice to take a break from traditional creams and lotions, and in the hot and humid environment where I live this is a very soothing alternative moisturiser," another agreed. "I'm also pleased it has niacinamide for evening out my skin tone and of course we all want (and need - at my age!) the collagen booster this contains as well." Meanwhile a Boots customer commented on how smooth and plump it left her skin feeling: "From the first application, this gel made my skin feel hydrated and plump. Having used it for a couple of weeks, my skin feels smooth and even toned." One person, however, mentioned that the plumping effects aren't particularly long-lasting on them, writing: "Might be great for 20-something skin, but definitely not for 50-something skin. Does it temporarily make your skin look plump and glowing? Sure. But there is no real long-term benefit for skin and that plump, glowing look and feeling wears off after an hour or so, leaving your skin a bit tight and dehydrated." If your skin is on the drier or more mature side, you might benefit from a more 'traditional' moisturiser such as something like Medik8 Total Moisture Daily Facial Cream, £48. Other hot weather skincare buys to consider this summer include Milk Makeup's new Cooling Water Jelly Ice, £28, Garnier Hyaluronic Acid Cryo Jelly Face Mask, currently £3.33, and the Brushworks Ice Roller, £11.99.

APR's Medicube to launch in Ulta Beauty
Korean cosmetics company APR is accelerating its growth into the North American market as its flagship brand Medicube has officially entered US retail giant Ulta Beauty, the company said Monday. APR recently signed a supply agreement with Ulta, securing shelf space for 22 Medicube products — ranging from skin care to beauty devices — across over 1,400 online and offline locations. The official launch is set for August, following the shipment of initial stock. Unlike Ulta's usual gradual onboarding process, Medicube will be available across all locations from the initial launch, signaling strong confidence in the brand and rising global demand for K-beauty. The product lineup includes bestsellers like the Zero Pore Pad, Collagen Jelly Cream and Deep Vita C Capsule Cream, alongside the newly launched PDRN line. APR's beauty tech devices, including the AGE-R Booster Pro and Booster Pro Mini, are also part of the deal, with plans to install dedicated displays in-store. Based on this partnership, APR aims to further position Medicube as a leading global skin care brand. The company has been rapidly building brand recognition among US consumers. With its entry into a widely accessible beauty retailer, APR plans to further boost sales. 'This entry marks a major step in expanding customer outreach,' an APR representative said. 'We will continue working to grow overseas revenue.'
