MEDIK8 has earned its spot as one of the best-loved luxury skincare brands on the market.

Using science to back up its claims, Medik8’s products have secured a cult following that include celebrities and dermatologists, and I can confirm its latest release is a game-changer.

Medik8’s Liquid Peptides Advanced MP launched in January, as an anti-ageing serum that uses patented Mini Proteins to minimise fine lines and wrinkles.

The brand doesn’t hold back on the bold claims, stating proven results in as little as 10 minutes.

I have several of Medik8’s products already in my skincare routine, so I was eager to try the brand’s latest innovation.

Retailing for £79, it’s definitely not the cheapest, but is it worth the price tag?

Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, £79

The second in line of Medik8’s Liquid Peptides Serums, the product is designed to offer a “filler-like effect with ease”.

While the brand’s original Liquid Peptides Serum works to combat early signs of ageing, the Advanced version has upped the ante by tackling even deep-set wrinkles.

The Advanced AP serum also includes 13 age-defying peptides (the original used 10), and it uses the world’s first Mini-Proteins.

What is the science behind it? 

Botox is a protein, which needs to be injected into the skin due to its larger size.

Medik8’s Mini Proteins are small enough to penetrate the skin without injecting, targeting the formation of wrinkles at the foundation. 

The Expression Line Mini Protein helps to relax expression lines, while the Growth Factor Mini Protein works to support collagen and hyaluronic acid levels to leave the skin looking smoother and firmer.

It’s recommended the serum is applied after cleansing and before any other products (including retinol).

First impressions, I was pleasantly surprised at how the serum glided across the skin without feeling heavy or sticky.

My dry skin doesn’t usually respond well when I apply serums before my make-up, but as the lightweight texture absorbs so quickly, I had no issues with using it in the AM and PM.

I’ve now been using the Advanced Peptides Serum for almost four weeks, and I can definitely see results.

While I don’t have deep-set wrinkles, I do have fine lines on my forehead which look noticeably less visible.

I can’t say I noticed changes after 10 minutes, but after a few uses my skin was looking brighter.

The serum has also made a huge difference to the pores on my forehead, and I hadn’t even noticed how much they had shrunk until comparing the before an after photos.

Medik8’s latest innovation doesn’t come cheap, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re looking for a product that actually works to minimise pores and smooth fine lines – that doesn’t involve a needle.

DONALD Trump has met with his old pal French President Macron after he vowed to show Europe and the UK are “united” in support for Ukraine.

The Republican welcomed Macron to the White House for talks on Monday as uncertainty looms about the future of transatlantic relations.

The pair had started the day participating in a virtual meeting with other leaders of the Group of Seven economies – holding crunch talks about the war.

It comes after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Macron agreed to both discuss showing “united leadership in support of Ukraine.”

Both Starmer and Macron went over Russia‘s “barbaric full-scale invasion” and there were reportedly talks of placing Ukraine in the centre of negotiations.

Starmer shared his commitment to support Ukraine and it was said the UK and Europe must be united against “Russian aggression.”

A press release posted on Gov.uk revealed more discussions in the US would take place within the coming week.

A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister spoke with President Macron this afternoon.

“They began by discussing the third anniversary of Russia‘s barbaric full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which is a stark reminder that we must all work together to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position at this crucial moment for global security.

“The Prime Minister repeated the UK’s steadfast commitment to support Ukraine for as long as needed and reiterated the importance of Ukraine being at the centre of any negotiations to end the conflict.”

Europe and the UK were said to be looking to scale up to meet security needs, exhibiting further support for Ukraine.

The spokesperson continued: “The UK and Europe must continue stepping up to meet their security needs and show united leadership in support of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, which they would both discuss in the US in the coming week.

“The leaders agreed to stay in close contact.”

This comes as Volodymyr Zelensky vows to step down as Ukraine’s president in exchange for peace or Nato membership.

Donald Trump is holding peace talks without including Kyiv in discussions, and the Ukrainian leader has responded by offering to leave his position if necessary.

The shock remarks were made at a press conference this weekend as he emphasised that Ukraine’s security was his priority.

Zelensky said on Sunday: “If it’s about peace in Ukraine and you really want me to leave my position, I am ready to do that [in exchange for peace].

“Secondly I can exchange it for Nato [membership].

“If there is such an opportunity I’ll do it immediately without a long conversation about it.”

HOLIDAYMAKERS who use Uber overseas have been warned that a new charge could see them shelling out more for trips.

From Thursday (February 27) Uber will add a conversion charge to bills when riders pay in their home currency while overseas.

AFP

Uber is set to introduce a new charge to overseas journeys from Thursday[/caption]

This means that if you pay for a trip in the US in British pounds the taxi app will add a 1.5% conversion fee to your bill.

So, if ride cost £10, £10.15 will be taken from your account.

And passengers could end up further out of pocket if the exchange rate used by the app is unfavourable.

But there is a way to avoid being caught out.

To check if you’ll be charged log into your settings and see if British pounds is set as your preferred currency for payments.

When abroad change this to the local currency and then use an overseas card or other fee-free payment method to settle your bill and avoid paying more than you need to.

When introduced on Thursday the change will only apply when in Canada, the US or any country using the euro, but it is expected to be rolled out across other areas.

Uber has said that he exchange rate it’s offering will be shown on trip receipts and has confirmed that no conversion charge will be added to tip payments.

Be aware that you will only be able to select the currency you wish to pay in when using on-demand rides such as UberX, UberXL, UberBlack and UberGreen.

With other rides, such as rentals and scheduled rides you won’t be able to select the currency you wish to pay in.

When travelling abroad it’s important to consider the best cards to use when making payments.

Last week a popular bank for spending abroad announced a change to fees ahead of summer and it’s good news for holidaymakers.

Credit and debit cards routinely add fees of almost 3% when used abroad, and ATM charges can be as much as 7.95% which would add £8 to a £100 withdrawal.

The best cards for overseas travel have no fees at all so it’s worth comparing your options to get the best deal.

Remember to always opt to pay in local currency, as paying in sterling usually means getting a dismal rate from the merchant you are buying from.

You may also want to consider that credit cards can offer you extra protections when spending abroad if things go wrong, but make sure to pay off the bill in full to avoid interest.

BRAZIL icon Adriano’s 18-year-old son is making his own way in football after sealing a transfer to a European club.

Adriano Carvalho is still in his teens but is now looking to cement his status as a potential superstar.

Adriano Carvalho has signed for Portuguese club Academica de Coimbra[/caption]

The youngster has been playing in his native Brazil for Serrano since 2022.

But now he has penned a deal taking him to Portugal.

Adriano Carvalho has signed a contract with Academica de Coimbra.

They play in the third tier of Portuguese football.

And he is now hoping to emulate his dad’s success in Europe.

Adriano, 43, was considered to be the next big thing when he burst onto the scene with Flamengo in 2000.

After spells at Inter Milan and Fiorentina, he banged in 23 goals in just 18 months for Parma before rejoining Inter in 2004.

Adriano ended up scoring 83 goals in six years at the San Siro, while also winning three titles and two Italian Cups.

But fitness issues and the death of his father sparked a sharp decline in performances as Adriano’s star faded quickly while goals dried up.

The latter stages of his career took the striker to Sao Paulo, Flamengo, Roma, Corinthians, Atletico Paranaense and finally Miami United.

He also enjoyed success with Brazil[/caption]

Adriano, who retired in 2016, also played 48 times for Brazil. 

He netted 27 goals for his country while winning the Copa America in 2004.

Adriano admits he has been living a party lifestyle ever since and described himself as “football’s biggest waste” in November.

He said: “Do you know what it feels like to be a promise? I know. 

“Including an unfulfilled promise. Football’s biggest waste: Me. 

“I like that word, waste. Not only because of how it sounds, but because I’m obsessed with wasting my life.

“I’m fine like this, in frantic waste. I enjoy this stigma.”

But shoppers can also find affordable supermarket own-label versions starting from around £40.

More expensive versions – such as dual and stack models – tend to have more features and settings.

But all air fryers, regardless of the model, offer the functionality to cook and crisp food quickly without oil, helping keep mealtimes healthy.

If you are contemplating splashing out on a new air fryer but want to find the best value one for your needs, we have selected some of the best air fryer deals on the market – to help make your life easier.

What is an air fryer and how do they work?

An air fryer is a cooking appliance that functions like an over.

If you’re wondering how air fryers work, hot air is circulated inside which cooks food without needing oil (though you can use a little if you prefer).

Depending on the model, the appliance will feature an on/off control, time and temperature settings and often, a range of cooking functions.

These usually include air fry, roast and bake, but more expensive models may also offer steam, slow cook and dehydrate options, allowing you to create a wider range of dishes with different cooking times.

As well as the usual crispy chips you can cook in an air fryer, the handy appliance can also cook a variety of meat, fish and veg in a much healthier way.

They’re not just for savoury foods either, cakes, biscuits and desserts can all be cooked in an air fryer.

Size varies, from small appliances for one to capacious versions that easily feed 10 people, so choose the model that best suits your needs.

Linked to size of course is where you’re going to place your air fryer.

A large model takes up more room on the worktop (or in the cupboard if you’re going to store it away when not in use), so make sure you have enough space before buying.

How the air fryer opens is also important. Some have drawers that pull out, but some open from the top, which could pose a problem if you have wall cupboards above the kitchen counter.

Are supermarket brands as good as branded air fryers?

Supermarket own-brand air fryers should be as good as more famous names, however, they may not have as many functions.

That said, there will likely be price points to suit several budgets, from cheaper, basic models to more expensive versions with a wider range of features.

Many budget chains like Lidl and Aldi regularly release air fryer dupes of major brands that provide considerable savings.

A supermarket-branded air fryer is also a great way to try out the appliance without spending a fortune.

For instance, Asda is selling a compact air fryer with a 1.5L capacity for just £28.

Are air fryers worth the hype?

We are big fans of air fryers at The Sun, so we would say they are definitely worth the hype.

They’re economical to use, efficient and have dinner ready in a shorter time than a conventional oven does.

You don’t just have to use them for air frying either – though they do make the best chips – so you can get as creative as you wish.

Roasts, succulent fish, and tasty vegetables can all be cooked in an air fryer.

Those that combine extra features, such as slow cooking, baking and dehydrating, do the job of several appliances, saving space and money in the long run.

Are air fryers safe?

All electrical products have to meet stringent regulations before being sold in the UK – and this includes air fryers.

They are safe if used properly. Removable baskets and trays can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher (check the instructions for your particular model).

Avoid getting the machine itself wet though, and clean away food stains on the interior with a damp cloth only.

While you can use foil and baking parchment inside your air fryer, never leave them in there without food, as they could end up burning and causing a fire.

Always make sure your air fryer is placed on a solid surface that allows for adequate ventilation, so air can move around the appliance.

Avoid over-filling the drawer or tray otherwise, food may catch on the heated element, becoming a fire risk.

Safety information, as well as step-by-step details for the proper way to use your air fryer, will be contained in the manufacturer’s instruction guide for your appliance.
