Boots shoppers love Estee Lauder set with ‘Botox in a bottle’ serum

The key to calm, radiant and youthful-looking skin lies in a proper skincare regimen. However, finding the right products that work for an individual’s skin is no mean feat – with so many products and formulas on the market, shoppers can easily spend a lot of money trying to get their routine right.

That’s why deals like Boots’ Estée Lauder Summer Skin All Year Round DayWear Skincare Gift Set are so good to see. In this gift set, shoppers can get £48 worth of premium skincare products for £39. It’s a great way to test out fan-favourite formulas for less, and this one includes a full three-step skincare routine.

Included in the set is the Advanced Night Repair Serum, the Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme, and the Daywear Sheer Tint Release Moisturiser SPF 15 – all of which are suitable for all skin types. It’s an easy morning routine to follow, too.

To make the most out of the three products, users should first cleanse their skin so it’s fresh and clean from a night’s rest. Then apply a few drops of the Advanced Night Repair Serum, which promises a healthy-looking glow, and dab a small amount of the Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme onto under-eyes and eyelids to hydrate the sensitive skin.

Finally, massage a small amount of DayWear Sheer Tint Release Moisturiser SPF 15 across the whole face, letting it release its subtle, smoothing pigment for a healthy-looking, sun-kissed tint without the weight of a foundation. Importantly, this moisturiser includes a light SPF to keep delicate skin protected from the sun, too.

If shoppers like the idea of a skincare routine bundle but aren’t taken by the Estée Lauder set, there are others to choose from. For example, The Body Shop’s Discover Your Glow Vitamin C Skincare Gift Set is £55 and includes £81 worth of vitamin C-enriched products including a serum, moisturiser and massaging Gua Sha. Alternatively, fan-favourite skincare brand No7’s £99.95 Future Renew Damage Reversal Complete Routine+ set includes a full day and night routine worth £166.75, with day and night creams, day and night serums, eye serums and SPF 50 sun protection.

However, the Estée Lauder set has plenty of fans, including one shopper who said of the Night Repair serum: “Just started adding this to my nightly routine and seen a big difference with plumpness and hydration. It’s like having a Botox treatment but in a bottle. Would recommend to anyone seeing those first signs of ageing.”

Another said of the gift set: “Really good way to test these products in a gift set. I bought these for myself as a treat, as daughter raves about the night repair serum. The night repair is great and it’s lasted over a week, the eye serum, will last ages, very rich and only need a very small amount. The tinted daycare moisturiser is great, I was a bit unsure as it comes out of the tube grey, but I love it, perfect match!”

A third said: “I bought this as part of mum’s birthday present and she absolutely loves it.”

Since skincare is a very personal buy, some shoppers found these products weren’t quite right for them. One said of the tinted moisturiser: “It’s no foundation so I wasn’t expecting much coverage. It does help skin flow and look a bit more even. The only negative for me is that it’s too shiny in my T-zone as I am very oily. I would definitely buy a matte version if it comes out.”

Another said of the serum: “My skin feels really soft since using this product, but it also seems to cause some redness.”

However, as a bundle that lets shoppers try some luxury skincare products for less, the Estée Lauder Summer Skin All Year Round DayWear Skincare Gift Set could be a great way to find a new favourite.
