Boots Ingredients
If you’re a bit overwhelmed by the skincare world and would like a little guide on where to start, the Boots Ingredients range is perfect for you. With ingredient-led formulas ranging from serums to eye creams to shampoos, you can formulate your very own routine from these products alone. Their selection of powerful ingredients such as Niacinamide, Bakuchiol, Glycolic Acid and so much more, gives you so much choice, while still keeping things straightforward and simple. If you’re on the hunt for the best glowy skincare products, look no further. This range is jam-packed with all the ingredients you need to achieve that look.
Some absolute faves from this range include the Hyaluronic Acid Serum, the Niacinamide Clay Mask and the Salicylic Acid Cleanser. The Hyaluronic Acid Serum is made specifically for dry skin. Not only does it hydrate and moisturise, but it also makes skin looks brighter. The Niacinamide Clay Mask is great for oily skin, as it cleanses away dead skin cells and removes all excess oil, leaving your skin feeling smooth and fresh. The Salicylic Acid Cleanser is great for makeup wearers as it thoroughly cleanser pores, removing any dirt, oil or makeup without drying out your skin.
Cassandra Bankson (@cassandrabankson) shared a quick guide on TikTok about how to understand skincare ingredients. In this video, Bankson talks about Hyaluronic Acid and all it’s benefits while recommending three of the Boots HA products.
Ali Majid also shared his thoughts on the super-affordable range. He focuses on the Squalane Cleanser, the Caffeine Eye Cream and the Polyglutamic Acid Serum. While also expressing his honest opinion of the Boots Skin Clear Drying Lotion.
@mattie.skincare introduced her followers to the range in a TikTok where she also guided them on how to choose the best products for their own skin needs.
Boots Glow
If dry skin is your number one concern, here’s the solution. Boots Glow has everything dry skin could ever want. These gorgeous little products leave your skin looking plump and glowy throughout the day without making it greasy. Some of the highlights of the range include the Glow Essence Serum, the Glow Eye Cream and the Glow Brightening Mist. The Boots Glow Essence Serum has been an absolute favourite for skincare lovers since the day of its launch. The formula gives your skin a natural and radiant glow, allowing for makeup to be smoothly applied over it. The Eye Cream refreshes and brightens the under-eye area (It’s perfect for hangovers!). The brightening mist is a pocket-size, quick-fix product that can be applied any time of the day to add a bit of brightness to your look – both on clean skin or over makeup.

Amelia Olivia tried out the Glow Essence Serum, comparing it to the Glow Recipe Dew Drops. She commented on the beautiful scent and the instant results she saw. Her skin looked radiant and natural with the product on. She proceeded to apply her foundation above the serum and was wowed by the smooth application.
Laila Paul also tried out a few products from the range in a short ASMR video posted to TikTok. Although her skin looked flawless from the start, the products definitely added some extra brightness and freshness, for an illuminated look.
Boots Vitamin C
Just like the other two lines, Boots decided to keep it simple with this one. The Vitamin C line is made for anyone struggling with dull and uneven skin (it’s been a long winter – I think all of us could use a little bit of this). The top-rated products from this range are, of course, the beloved Vitamin C Brightening Moisturising Cream – a light textured moisturiser that evens out skin tone – the Vitamin C Toner – an alcohol-free formula that tightens and refines pores – and the Vitamin C Brightening Cleansing Gel – a deep cleansing gel that reduced excess oils.

@munxmua also tried out the moisturiser and gushed over the product saying it’s probably the best moisturiser [she’s] discovered this year”.
The gorgeous @lasesalu got sent a PR package from Boots and talked about how consistently using the vitamin C products restored her natural skin undertone, leaving her looking glowy and golden.
It’s hard to fault these products – from the low price to the quick visible results, what’s not to love?
