Boots launches summer sale with up to 50% off No7 and more
The Boots summer sale is here and shoppers can currently get up to 50% off on selected beauty items and electricals, plus up to 20 points per £1 - but some deals are only around for today
Boots has kicked off a massive summer sale, offering up to 50% off on premium beauty, electrical beauty and haircare products, providing shoppers with a fantastic chance to nab coveted items at a bargain. One deal even sees a Lancome anti-ageing gift set reduced by £42.05.
The sale, which started today (May 16) stars over 1,000 items and will run until May 20. But customers who shop the sale today, and are an Advantage Card holder, will be able to benefit from another deal, too.
Until 11.59pm tonight, Advantage Card holders can bag 20 points for every £1 spent when they splash out £60 on selected beauty items in-store and online. That's a whopping six times more than the usual three Advantage Card points earned per £1, reports the Express.
But Boots isn't the only retailer dropping prices this weekend. LookFantastic is offering 50% off this Olaplex Travel Bundle - now £22.40 (was £44.80). The travel-friendly kit includes a pre-shampoo treatment, shampoo, conditioner and a mask. Cult Beauty currently has 20% off selected items, including Sol de Janeiro's Flor Mistica Perfume Mist 90ml, now £19.20 instead of £24.
At Boots, the Lancôme Génifique Glow Getters Star Gift Set has been reduced to £32.70 from £74.75. This three-piece set features a blend of skincare and makeup must-haves - including the iconic Génifique Ultimate Serum, which alone is worth £49.
As well as the cult anti-ageing product, shoppers will be treated to a lash-enhancing mascara and hydrating lip balm for a complete glow-up with radiant, healthy-looking skin. Described as a 'miracle' by consumers, the Génifique Ultimate Serum is designed to repair skin damage and reduce the look of redness and fine lines.
A selection of the health and beauty chain's own-brand No7 products have also been reduced, but one of the best value is this No7 Lift and Luminate Collection 5 Piece Gift Set, now £62.95 (worth £137.75). This sought-after collection comes packed with everything needed for a comprehensive skincare regime, boasting a day cream, night cream, eye cream, facial oil, and triple-action serum, all generously sized and offering incredible value for money.
No7 claims this range is engineered to make users "feel as youthful on the outside" as they do "on the inside." The Lift and Luminate Day Cream is bursting with vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, meticulously formulated to even out skin tone and maintain a balanced complexion. The Night Cream merges the nourishing properties of shea butter with hyaluronic acid to revitalise the skin overnight.
The Triple Action Eye Cream, brimming with ginseng extract, specifically takes aim at under-eye bags. The gift set has earned rave reviews, boasting a remarkable 4.6 out of five stars from 45 reviews on the Boots website. Users are vocal in their praise, with one delighted customer exclaiming: "Love all these products, No7 is the best on the market. Best product ever."
For those in the market for a new hair tool to cut down on styling time this summer, the Shark FlexStyle Sparkle – Champagne Diamond Limited Edition was £299.99 but is now £269.99. The latest design gives Shark's hair-styling marvel a dazzling upgrade, embellished with over 20,000 crystals. Housed in a sturdy storage case, this set includes a Concentrator and Diffuser for drying, along with a Paddle Brush, Oval Brush, and two advanced 32mm auto-wrap Curlers that have been improved from earlier versions to enhance hair grip even further.
The ingenious design of this tool lets you bid farewell to the desk clutter of multiple hairstyling gadgets by merging the functions of a hairdryer and curler into one device. Monitoring heat exposure 1,000 times a second, the FlexStyle ensures an even distribution of warm air whilst guarding against potential heat damage.
With its trio of heat and airflow settings, users gain meticulous command over their drying, styling, and setting processes, tailoring their hairdos to perfection. For those on the hunt for a durable hair removal option, the Philips Satinelle epilator might be the ideal choice. Now slashed to more than half its original price, this nifty gadget offers a robust yet gentle hair removal experience, promising smoother legs in "as little as 10 minutes".
Philips' two-year guarantee bolsters customers' confidence, with an ergonomically designed S-shaped handle that ensures ease of use for natural and precise movements across the body. This cordless wonder is equally efficient in the bath or shower – featuring an extra-wide epilator head perfect for tackling larger areas, complemented by a shaving head and trimming comb for that ultra-close shave.
Despite its positives, some customers would prefer an attachment for smaller areas, with one remarking, 'it is not useful for face'. It also comes with a convenient pouch, making it a breeze to stash away or take along on holiday.
There are some impressive fragrance offers, too, such as Givenchy's Ysatis Eau de Toilette, now £54.50 for 100ml instead of £109. This alluring fragrance is sure to leave a lasting impression. Relaunched with a contemporary bottle design while maintaining its soul since its 1984 debut, the captivating EDT opens with zesty Sicilian Mandarin Essence before blooming into a lush White Floral Bouquet, finally settling into the sultry warmth of Indonesian Patchouli Essence.
Devoted Givenchy enthusiasts have claimed the floral and citrusy essences as their distinguishing aroma, with one dedicated fan stating: "I have been wearing Ysatis for over 20 years now and have no intention of stopping now. Perfume smells different on different skins but Ysatis suits mine and is suited for both day and evening wear."
Another chimed in: "Worn this since the 80s. The bottle is not up to much but the perfume still smells lovely, but not as powerful and long lasting."
Away from the sale, though, there are more deals to be had in the form of beauty boxes. They're currently offering a Premium Hair Beauty Box for £45, packed with 10 items worth around £220 designed to give you glossy, healthy locks. Alternatively, there's a Boots Self Care Beauty Box, worth £137 for £35.

Boots discount codes for June 2025 – how to get 10% off
Boots is a British shopping institution and, when it comes to finding the best and latest beauty, it's one of the first places I look. Whether I've run out of foundation or my hair dryer 's conked out, the retailer is always there – online and in-store – to save the day. Something that's easy to forget as you browse the backlit beauty counters is how many deals are constantly at your fingertips across skincare, make-up and more. Think exclusive discounts for students and advantage card holders, plus up to half price off fragrance. As a beauty writer, I'm constantly reviewing the latest trending products, like lip stains and microcurrent tools, which means my days are spent crawling the pages of the big retailers like Boots. While you crack on with the daily grind, you can rest assured I'm holding down the deals fort and securing you the best beauty discounts as they roll in. How to save with Boots offer codes Right now, there are heaps of ways to save at Boots, including 10 per cent off selected own-brand beauty for Advantage Card holders and up to half price discounts in the Boots sale. Students can maximise on their own 10 per cent reduction across thousands of products when they sign up to an Advantage Card. Plus, all card holders can shop with Boots' price advantage promotion that sees huge markdowns (up to £170, right now) on brands including Simple, Oral-B and Weleda. How to use Boots points With a Boots Advantage Card (which is free to sign up for) you can earn in-store points that contribute towards your next purchase. In-store, you'll simply need to hand over your advantage card, either a physical or a digital barcode, to the cashier and ask them to pay in points. Online customers can link their advantage card to their Boots account and then select 'pay with points' at checkout. FYI, you'll need to have earned enough points to cover your entire purchase. Why can you part pay with Boots points? Unfortunately, that's just the way things are, but the retailer does stock products at a variety of price points, even as little as 50p. No one's losing out on their points balance here – big or small. For context, you'll earn three points for every £1 spent and every point is worth 1p. To rack up enough points to buy Maybelline's lash sensational sky high mascara (£12.99, you'd need to spend £433 total. While this might not seem an easy feat, you'd be surprise how quickly those tampons and cotton pads runs add up. Plus, you'll get double points through the whole of your birthday month, so you can take your party glam to next level knowing it'll earn you money to spend in the long run. More ways to save at Boots If you're an avid TikTok or Reels scroller, then chances are you've heard about Boots' renowned recycling scheme. For those that aren't in the know, the recycle at Boots scheme encourages shoppers to be more eco-conscious with their beauty disposal and earn an extra £5 in the process. In the recycle at Boots app, simply input the barcodes from your empty moisturisers, cleansers and the like, then use the in-store QR code to confirm and deposit your products. You'll then receive a hefty 500 of advantage card points for every five or more items dropped off. Something to note: you'll have to spend £10 to claim your £5 benefit or, for me, a top up of my favourite Monday shampoo and conditioner. As if that wasn't lucrative enough, there's more in store for Boots shoppers with little ones in tow (or in belly!). The Boots Parenting Club offers advantage card members a free Aveeno gift upon joining and more treats as your baby grows. You'll be able to score eight points per £1 spent across baby products, plus offers exclusive to Parenting Club members in the Boots app – all while receiving expert advice to support your care at every stage. And let's not forget the wonder that is £10 Tuesday, the retailer's pot luck reduction that strikes on a different best-seller each week. How I find the best Boots discount codes When browsing for a killer deal, knowing what you want is key – lest you get dragged into another 3 for 2 promotion on products you don't need. If you buy something regularly, try to recall the price you paid last time, so you can ensure you're not being misled with a falsely inflated discount. Of course, I'll be on-hand to share the very best reductions, but if you fancy a solo exploration, these are my tips: Add a brand-specific filter to narrow down your search. Check the price per ml/g on beauty minis and compare them to full-size items. Is that reduced bundle a steal, or simply old stock? Likewise, check the cost of perfumes across different sizes – the 50ml might not be reduced, but 100 or 150ml could be. Browse your advantage card offers and activate them pre-checkout. Look out for a red border box when shopping online. It sits below the price and often details a free gift or multi-buy deal. My favourite current Boots deals If you've ever used Hawaiian Tropic then you'll know – and love – the brand's signature coconut scent. This dry oil is no exception and leaves skin with a gloriously hydrated sheen, all while providing a medium-high SPF of 30. Right now, the product is reduced by half (as are most of the brand's lotions and sprays) so, with summer slowly peeking in, it's the perfect time to stock up and keep your skin in good nick come the sunshine and high heat. Whether you're off somewhere nice or just sunbathing at home, now's the time to give your skin and glam a summer upgrade. With best-sellers from Laneige, Milk and Bobbi Brown, this bundle of beauty goodies will save you more than £90 and leave you prepped for golden hour piccies with glowy, bronzed and scented skin. Plus, there's a handy toiletry bag included to use on your summer travels. With Father's Day just around the corner, discounts on aftershave and men's fragrance are just what the doctor ordered. Armani Code features notes of bergamot, lemon, tonka bean and smoky guaiac wood. Its packaging is tasteful and understated, and with a generous 50 per cent off, dad will be left smelling fresh without strapping you for cash. Beauty editor Lucy Partington reviewed ghd's duet styler for IndyBest and described it as 'revolutionary.' It works by taking hair from wet-to-dry via a 2-in-1 styler and hair dryer. This means that it tackles blow-drying as well as straightening and, according to Lucy's review, 'replace[s] the need for both.' With more than £90 off right now, it's a time and money no-brainer. Having worked many a sales event, including Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and the Boots sale, Lucy Smith is well versed in scanning for the best deals and discounts. For The Independent, she covers beauty day in, day out, spanning everything from the b est women's perfume s to SPF moisturisers. When it comes to Boots, she's across the brand's bundles – like its Korean skincare box – and, come Christmas time, can't get enough of its best-selling star gifts. Whether she's tested the products herself, referenced a team member's review or knows a brand inside and out after five years in the industry, you can trust her choices to leave your skin, hair and body looking (or smelling) its very best.

Viral 'super' serum that 'blurs wrinkles' cut to lowest ever price on Amazon
This powerhouse serum was once dubbed 'the cult beauty product of 2024.' The world of skincare is bigger than ever these days. Whether it be wrinkles, pigmentation or anti-ageing, we all have the areas we'd like to target more than others. Looking to target multiple in one go? Then enter the Olay Super Serum, the first of its kind, as it offers five different skincare benefits in just one bottle - and it's at its cheapest ever price on Amazon. The beauty brand's "miracle" serum first made waves when it debuted in the USA in 2023. After officially going available in the UK last year, it quickly earned the title as "the cult beauty product of 2024." While it's certainly popular, it can be quite pricey at £39.99 for a small 30ml bottle. Fortunately, Amazon has knocked 55 percent off the price, taking it to just £18.14, the cheapest it has ever been available to buy for. Not only is this the cheapest price we have spotted Amazon selling it for, as it's currently the lowest price on the entire high street, with Boots and Superdrug stocking it at full-price, while Ocado has it for £20. A unique addition to the skincare market, this powerhouse serum has been infused with the five ingredients - niacinamide, vitamin C, collagen peptides, vitamin E and AHA lactic acid. This means that it provides five benefits in just one bottle that include brightening, firming, toning, hydrating and much more. Considering it's the only serum on the market to do so, it's understandable why it's still hugely popular. It boasts a colour-changing soft purple iridescence, providing the skin with that 'barely-there' natural radiance. It's so popular that the brand claims that it "quickly became a viral sensation, with one bottle sold every minute." While no other option on the market offers as many benefits in one bottle, the popular L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Serum Le Duo (30ml), £37.99 at Boots, harnesses the power of two serums to target firmness, wrinkles and radiance. Meanwhile, celebrity-backed brand Medik8 has just launched its brand new C-Tetra Advanced (30ml), a brightening and anti-ageing serum that boasts vitamin C, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid for £69. Skincare enthusiasts will be all too aware of the reputation the Olay Super Serum has managed to garner over the past year, as it has earned a 4.4 rating from users who say it is a "minor miracle" and that it works "like magic".

I started using it after a summer break in the sun. My skin feels hydrated and the wrinkles appear blurred. It seems to have helped reduce sun spots too." A second skincare buff wrote: "Feels great on my skin. Easily absorbed. My skin looks fresher and evenly toned. Lines appear smoother too. Will buy again." Beauty deal of the week It's almost Father's Day, and are you in need of some gift inspiration? If you don't want to buy a last minute gift, then we have you covered, as a bottle of aftershave is always a good shout and Debenhams has just cut the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette from £92 to just £55.20 for a large 100ml bottle. There is also a smaller 60ml bottle that is a bit cheaper, with the price being reduced by 37 per cent from £68 to £43. Since reviews say it "stands out from the crowd", it's a deal worth bagging for dad. Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for. It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast. It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance." Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments." One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd. Purchase the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette (100ml) in the Debenhams sale here. Someone else praised: "What a wonderful product! Olay have [created] a minor miracle with this serum. My skin feels amazing after using this as you don't need to use too much either as so good." Not everyone found it worked for their skin, as one three-star review read: "I didn't really like this serum as I felt it left my skin feeling quite dry, not what I expected it to do." Although, another positive review read: "This stuff is like magic. It makes your skin so soft! I'm not a girly girl, I don't use tons of make up, I'm not incredibly interested in skin care - but ONE experience with this stuff and I'm never living without it. It instantly absorbs and makes you feel at your best. I've even had compliments when wearing it. Id recommend this to everyone!" Buy Olay's Super Serum (30ml) at its cheapest ever price, £18.14, on Amazon here.

These airports still have 100ml liquid limits – so stock up on these travel-size toiletries
Most of us can't wait until our next holiday, but none of us look forward to the 100ml liquid restrictions at major airports. It's been a year since airports were granted an extension to roll out new scanners that would scrap the restrictions. The hope is that removing the 100ml allowance would reduce airport security queues, particularly during busy periods like the summer holidays. But while you no longer have to take liquids out of your luggage at hubs like Gatwick, London City Airport, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Birmingham, the 100ml liquid allowance is still enforced at all airports across the UK. We might be waiting a while for this to come into fruition, as the new deadline is indefinitely delayed. So, another summer of adhering to strict hand luggage rules is nearly underway. If you don't want to depart with your beloved full-size perfume or fake tan at airport security (we've all been there), then it's time to stock up on travel-sized beauty. Taking the hassle out of last-minute dashes around Boots or Superdrug in the airport terminal – where prices are higher – a shopping haul ahead of your summer holiday is always preferable. Even without the liquid limits, travel-sized beauty is a stellar space-saving solution in your hand luggage – and a great chance to try new formulas without committing to a full-size (and more expensive) one. Whether you're about to embark on a long-haul flight and want some skincare saviours in the cabin, heading on a sunny city break or a flop-and-drop beach holiday, here are the best travel-size beauty products, from moisturisers and eye creams to shower gels and SPF. CeraVe facial moisturising lotion with SPF50, 52ml: £16.50, CeraVe's facial moisturising lotion with SPF50 is 'one of the very best high-protection sunscreens available on the high street that's more than suitable for everyday use all year round', according to our beauty writer. Ticking all their boxes, they praised it as lightweight, nourishing and undetectable under make-up. Plus, it's 'hydrating without being greasy or sticky, and it absorbs quickly and disappears into the skin after a few minutes, leaving a natural-looking glow in its wake'. A hardworking formula that's very deserving of a spot in our travel bag. A quick fix for looking bronzed on holiday, Isle of Paradise's new sunny serum secured a spot in my review of the best bronzing drops. The thick liquid consistency has a skin-blurring effect, delivering instant bronze and glow. Lightweight and easily blended, it's powered by ingredients such as niacinamide, squalene and jojoba oil to nourish and hydrate skin. I even feel comfortable forgoing foundation thanks to the illuminating formula. Versatile with instant benefits, Isle of Paradise's sunny serum is a make-up-bag hero, particularly on holiday. Our favourite face SPF, La Roche-Posay rarely puts a foot wrong with its formulas. 'Ticking every box we could create, including UVA, UVB and long UVA protection, being suitable for sensitive skin, non-greasy and lightweight, it more than delivers in every area,' our tester said. They loved how easy it is to apply, with the thin neck tube dispensing just the right amount. 'Reducing shine, we found you'll still get a fresh-faced glow minus any sticky or oily sensation, and it keeps you safe from the sun no matter how strong,' they added. Reviving flat and dull hair between washes, dry shampoo is a must-have in any haircare arsenal on holiday. This Living Proof formula is one of the best on the market, as beauty writer Lucy found in her review. 'The product seemingly disappears into your hair to do its job; it still smells amazing (the same apple-y scent); and it's lighter for a less heavy finish on finer hair types.' The dispenser is particularly good, as it pushes the product out slightly faster than its PhD original sibling. This pushes the spray closer to the roots for a quicker application. 'It's a real hero in my haircare routine,' she said. This three-piece body care set from cult beauty brand Sol de Janeiro is infused with its signature sugary sweet Cheirosa '62 scent. Including the famous Brazilian bum bum cream for a hydration boost, as well as a luxurious shower cream and a body fragrance mist, the travel set has you covered from the beach to dinner. Protecting the skin under and around your eyes becomes even more important when you're exposed to the sun on holiday. Enter this CeraVe eye cream, which will take up barely any space in your make-up bag. 'A gentle eye cream, this formula is enriched with skin-barrier-protecting ceramides and has a soothing salve-style formula,' our reviewer, Helen, said. 'The ingredients meant this product left our skin feeling gently moisturised, with hyaluronic acid in there to draw hydration to the surface, too.' Keep your fake tan topped up while on holiday with this space-saving St Tropez mini set. It includes everything you need to keep yourself looking bronzed, including a travel-sized version of its signature bronzing water mousse, bronzing water face mist and a velvet tan applicator. We love the face mist for giving our skin a sun-kissed glow, with the lightweight formula sitting nicely over make-up. The body tan is equally easy to use and develops within eight hours for a golden, sun-damage-free tan. When it comes to facial exfoliants, Ren's ready steady glow tonic is one of the best you can buy - trust me, it featured in my tried and tested review. The non-invasive exfoliating formula features a blend of AHAs and BHAs to refine skin - there's lactic acid to remove dead skin cells and salicin to soothe. Cleansing your face at the end of a long day of travelling or exploring the city, the product will leave your skin visibly more radiant. This trio of hair essentials from the viral brand Colour Wow includes the colour protect shampoo, conditioner and dream coat spray. Working to refresh, nourish and protect hair between salon visits, it promises to revitalise lacklustre hair. I relied on this trio of haircare saviours on a recent trip to tackle humidity and frizz. The shampoo and conditioner soften while cleansing hair, but the dreamcoat spray is the star of the show. It not only protects your hair before heat styling, but tames flyaways and smooths frizz. There's no need to part with your beloved perfume on holiday, thanks to travel-size minis available from all your favourite brands. If Jo Malone's lime, basil and mandarin cologne is your scent of the season, try this 15ml mini. In beauty writer Lucy's review of the fragrance, she noted that 'it doesn't lead with the sharpness of lemon but rather surrounds the lime and mandarin notes with warming amberwood.'
