I’ll admit it: I truly appreciate the effects Botox has on my skin. It smooths out my fine lines and wrinkles, brightens my hooded eyes, and gives my skin a wonderful glow. However, the cost and the need for frequent Botox appointments? My finances don’t appreciate that as much. As a result, I’ve been attempting to extend the time between my appointments. When I attended the launch of Medik8's Liquid Peptides Advanced MP Serum (formerly £79, now £63) in January, I learned about the science behind this serum, which can be used to help maintain results between Botox treatments. Naturally, a serum can never exactly replicate Botox effects (and any brand suggesting that is simply not truthful). Nevertheless, I’ve been consistently using this serum for the past six months, and during that time, my forehead lines and crow’s feet have softened enough that I didn’t feel the need to schedule my Botox again. I’ve just finished my serum, but luckily, I noticed it on sale for Amazon Prime Day today, so I’m taking it as a sign to stock up. Read on for my honest review of the serum. **Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP Serum** **Pros** - Helps to soften fine lines and wrinkles - Works alongside injectables to extend Botox results **Cons** - It won’t provide the same lift as Botox - It’s on the pricier side at full price **How Does It Work?** This is not an ordinary serum. It features a biotech innovation known as MiniProteins—a blend of peptides and proteins, as well as growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and prebiotics—that penetrate deep into the skin and activate the cells responsible for firmness and smoothness. The clever aspect is their small size and structure, allowing them to fit into skin cell receptors like a key fits into a lock, maximizing results where they’re needed most (like dynamic lines around the forehead and eyes). What I appreciate is the immediate effect, with expression lines softening upon application, followed by long-term results through the visible reduction of deep-set wrinkles; Medik8 has shown that improvements can be seen in eight weeks, with 86% of testers agreeing no new lines or wrinkles appeared while using the serum. The serum also has a gel-like texture that dries to a soft, velvety finish, making it ideal for use under makeup in your morning skincare routine while providing ample hydration for evening use. **My Verdict** No serum or skincare product can lift facial features like Botox can; however, if fine lines and wrinkles are your main concern, this serum is an excellent option for softening dynamic lines around the eyes from smiling or on the forehead from raising our brows. I’ve noticed a visible difference in the persistent lines on my forehead when I haven’t had Botox for a while, and the finer lines around my eyes are noticeably softer as well. Medik8 is one of the skincare brands I completely trust—in addition to this serum, the C-Tetra Advanced 20% Vitamin C is my favorite vitamin C serum from the line, while the Crystal Retinal Serum is a favourite retinol serum among the Who What Wear UK team. Although it may be pricier than other brands, Medik8 truly delivers on results, making it a worthwhile investment for your skin. **Shop Now:** Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP Serum

      Saban Films has unveiled a poster and trailer for the action thriller King Ivory, directed and written by John Swab, featuring James Badge Dale as Layne West, a Tulsa drug officer determined to dismantle the local cartel after his son falls victim to fentanyl addiction.

      The cast includes Ben Foster, Michael Mando, Rory Cochrane, Ritchie Coster, George Carroll, Graham Greene, Melissa Leo, and Sam Quartin. You can view the trailer below.

      This thriller explores the fentanyl epidemic, known on the street as King Ivory, as it weaves together the lives of civilians, criminals, addicts, and law enforcement. For Layne West (James Badge Dale), a Tulsa drug cop engaged in the ongoing battle against local crime, the fight becomes deeply personal when his son, Jack (Jasper Jones), becomes addicted to fentanyl. Alongside his partner, Ty (George Carroll), and his FBI colleague, Beatty (Rory Cochrane), West dedicates himself to capturing those accountable, which includes Ramón Garza (Michael Mando), the local head of the Mexican cartel, Holt Lightfeather (Graham Greene), the Indian Brotherhood War Chief controlling trafficking from inside the Oklahoma State Penitentiary known as “Big Mac,” and the local Irish Mob led by George “Smiley” Greene (Ben Foster), supported by his mother, Ginger (Melissa Leo), and uncle, Mickey (Ritchie Coster). During a prison visit, Holt imparts a crucial truth to West: “The cartels want your kids, the next generation, who desire what is new, and fentanyl is new.”

      King Ivory is set to hit theaters on November 14th.
