Budget Buys: New Skincare At Boots This Month

Budget Buys: New Skincare At Boots This Month

Few places are better for affordable beauty than Boots, and last year, Britain’s biggest chemist lined their shelves with 805 new products and 20 new brands. With cult classics and next-generation formulas, it’s now a one-stop destination. Here are 10 of the best skincare products to land there this month…
01

Avène Soothing Radiance Mask, £13

Safflower oil and spring water combine in this soothing formula which slips luxuriously into the skin, to ensure it remains perfectly hydrated and protected all day. It works well on most skin types, but especially those on the oily or combination side.

02

Garnier Micellar Rose Water Cleanse & Glow, £4.66 (was £6.99)

This cult buy has had an upgrade, thanks to the new addition of rose water. Designed to brighten and create a more visible glow, it works just like the original, but with more antioxidants and micelles to remove every trace of make-up (even stubborn waterproof formulas) without leaving skin feeling dry or tight. A beauty cupboard must-have - especially for those with sensitive skin.

03

Bioderma Hydrabio Crème, £15.50

If you’re suffering with dry, tight skin, look no further than this French pharmacy essential. Previously only available via niche beauty sites, it’s finally landed at Boots, making it more accessible than ever. Vitamin E works to plump and strengthen skin, while salicylic acid gently exfoliates and increases cell turnover for noticeable smoothness and even texture.

04

Boots Hemp Seed Oil, £6

Boots launched its own Ordinary-style range this year, with the primary goal to streamline ingredients and make skincare simple. Our favourite from the line is this rich oil. Formulated with fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic, it keeps skin soft and with a healthy radiance. Use a few drops in your moisturiser to reap its hydrating benefits. It’s non-comedogenic too – so you don’t need to worry about pores getting clogged.

05

Botanics Radiant Youth Microdermabrasion Polish, £7.49 (was £9.99)

If you want to try microdermabrasion without the harsh results, this gentle treatment is great. While it does scrub the skin and remove dirt from pores, it uses ginkgo, which is full of nourishing antioxidants to prevent unnecessary irritation or flare-ups. Use it once a week to begin with, pre-cleanse, before gradually increasing usage to twice a week. You’ll soon see a smoother, more refined complexion.

06

CeraVe Reparative Hyaluronic Acid Eye Cream, £12

If you’re looking for a no-fuss eye cream that doesn’t over-promise on results, this one will fit the bill. Developed by dermatologists, it’s created with ceramides, hyaluronic acid and a marine botanical complex to rehydrate and soothe this delicate area. It won’t get rid of dark circles, but it will help to reduce puffiness and redness for a smoother and brighter appearance. Plus, the lightweight texture is a nice, cooling treat.

07

e.l.f. SuperCleanse With Niacinamide, £6

The neon bottle will instantly dress up your bathroom cabinet, but this delivers on more than just aesthetics. One cleanse with the thick, gel cleanser and you’ll understand why it’s worthy of a spot in your regime. Formulated with niacinamide (the ingredient of the moment) it unclogs pores, strengthens sallow skin and boosts softness – a no brainer, especially for anyone on a budget.

08

L’Oréal Paris Fine Flowers Cleansing Milk, £3.99 (was £5.99)

Proof that a luxe cleanser doesn’t always come with a hefty price tag, this conditions the skin with rose, jasmine and glycerine, while the milky texture makes light work of removing make-up. Perfect as a morning cleanse, it’s gentle and kind to all complexions.

09

Neutrogena Clear & Soothe Toning Mist, £3.99 (was £5.99)

Created specifically for spot-prone skin, a quick misting of this turmeric formula works to reduce inflammation, while still keeping skin bright, dewy and feeling fresh. A great pick-me-up, it’s non-staining and oil-free, so it’s brilliant to refresh tired make-up, without causing other products to slip or flake.

10

Revolution Skincare CBD Cream, £10

Made with cannabis satvia oil and cannabidiol, this delivers rich hydration and calms all sorts of inflammation – think acne, redness or dry patches. It has the added benefits of cocoa seed and shea butter to soothe even the most sensitive skin types, too. Suitable for daytime, but the buttery formula makes it even better for night time when you need something a little more heavy-duty.
