Korean beauty has firmly cemented its place in the UK market, and now one of its most celebrated names has arrived on British high streets. Mediheal, a brand hailed as South Korea's best face mask producer for 14 years running, has launched at Boots, both online and in select stores.
A Coveted Brand Finally Reaches British Shores
The debut of Mediheal in the UK marks a significant moment for K-Beauty enthusiasts. The brand's reputation precedes it, having reportedly sold out within just three days during a previous launch, underscoring its immense popularity. Known for its clinically backed formulas and targeted hero ingredients, Mediheal offers solutions for a wide array of skin concerns, from dryness to breakouts.
Initially, Boots is stocking a curated selection of the brand's convenient wipe-on pad formulas. These products are designed to deliver potent skincare benefits in a simple, mess-free format. Priced at £22 per tub, they represent an accessible entry point into professional-grade Korean skincare routines. A thoughtful inclusion is the pair of tweezers provided with each tub, ensuring hygienic application without transferring oils from fingers to the delicate pads.
What to Buy: The Mediheal Pad Collection at Boots
Boots currently offers six variants of these multitasking pads, each formulated to address specific skincare needs. Here is a breakdown of the available collections:
Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Pad (100 Pads)
Infused with Madecassoside, a Centella Asiatica extract, these pads target dark spots, uneven tone, and blemishes. They work to soothe inflammation, repair the skin barrier, and provide hydration. A pro tip is to store them in the fridge for an extra cooling effect on sensitive areas.
Medial Phyto-Enzyme Peeling Pad (90 Pads)
Ideal for congested skin, these double-sided pads use papaya enzyme and LHA to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, refine pores, and improve texture. One side offers gentle exfoliation while the other is a milder option, making them suitable even for sensitive skin types.
Mediheal Collagen Ampoule Pads (100 Pads)
Formulated with 300-Dalton collagen, ceramides, and milk protein, these pads aim to combat dullness and sagging. They work to nourish, hydrate, and plump the skin, and are safe for use on all skin types, including the delicate under-eye area.
Mediheal Teatree Trouble Pads (100 Pads)
Perfect for breakout-prone or sensitive skin, these pads harness JEJU teatree and probiotics. They function to reduce redness, target blemishes, hydrate, and improve skin texture simultaneously.
Mediheal Vitamide Brightening Pads (100 Pads)
To combat winter dullness, these pads are infused with seven different vitamins designed to brighten the complexion and enhance overall skin texture, bringing back a radiant glow.
Mediheal Watermide Moisture Pads (100 Pads)
Crafted from gentle micro-perforated eco-silk, these pads deliver intense hydration. They contain ten types of hyaluronic acid with varying molecular weights to moisturise and plump the skin across multiple layers.
The Future of K-Beauty at Boots
While the current launch focuses on the popular pad formats, it remains to be seen whether Boots will expand its Mediheal offering in the future to include the brand's renowned sheet masks and other skincare staples. For now, the arrival of this 14-time award-winning brand provides UK consumers with direct, easy access to one of K-Beauty's most trusted names, solidifying the sector's dominance in the global beauty conversation.
