Boots' £30 beauty box with 'excellent' products like BYOMA and Lumene
The Fresh Faced Favourites Skincare bundle is currently on sale for £29.99 - and has over £113 worth of products inside a chic reusable bag Boots has given shoppers an impressive offer in its most recent set of beauty boxes which includes some world-renowned brands such as BYOMA, Pixi, The Inkey List, and Lumene. If bought individually, customers would have to spend more than £113 for this range of products, meaning this bargain keeps over £80 in your bank. The high street store is offering the Fresh Faced Favourites Skincare Edit at the bargain price of £29.99. This stylish beauty collection includes a trendy checkered pouch, a keeper even after you've used all the included products, doubling as a convenient makeup bag. Boots' online store promises that customers can achieve a "fresh, hydrated and protected" complexion for the summer by incorporating these skincare essentials into their regular beauty regimen. The site further details that the Fresh Faced Favourites bundle is a "perfect way to refresh your routine or discover new favourites". So far, the bundle itself has only had two reviews due to being new on the website. One shopper claimed it was "excellent value for money if you want to try some new brands". What can you expect inside? For £30, shoppers will be treated to nine skincare items, with six of them being full-sized products from brands such as Beauty of Joseon, BYOMA, Pixi, The Inkey List, Cetaphil and more, reports Nottinghamshire Live. Valued at a remarkable £113, here's what is included in the package: Pixi Vitamin-C Serum (30ml - worth £26) The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm (50ml - worth £6.50) Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (29ml - full-sized versions start from £7.50) Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion (29ml - full-sized versions start from £11.50) Lumene Nordic C Glow Boost Essence (30ml - worth £36.50) Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick (18g - worth £15.50) Boots Skin Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets (50pk - worth £4.50) e.l.f. Holy Hydration Cleansing Balm (56.6g - worth £11) BYOMA Brightening Serum (30ml - worth £12.99) Shoppers who are fans of the LUMENE Nordic-C Valo Glow Boost Essence may find this deal particularly enticing. Typically sold at £36.50 for a 30ml bottle at Boots, this essence is very popular among customers. Over 200 people have praised the product, claiming that it "smells fresh and light on the skin" and "it leaves skin glowing and ready to take on the day". Another customer added: "Since using Lumene products I have had so many compliments on how healthy my skin looks. I use this serum daily." However, some with delicate skin have warned of bad reactions and breakouts happening with the product. One person also claimed that they "haven't noticed any improvements" after using the serum for a month. The next most coveted item is the Pixi Vitamin-C Serum, which claims to "provide a boost of immediate and long-term radiance" while aiming to "reduce the effects of sun damage". Customers said that it "goes on easily" and it "doesn't upset sensitive skin", yet some wrote that "it made zero difference" in their experience. Included in the assortment of beauty bits is the BYOMA Brightening Serum, which shoppers have described as "seriously hydrating". Another commented: "Makes my skin feel hydrated and look more glowy and healthy. Boyfriend said my skin was noticeably brighter after just a couple of uses so definitely recommend!".

This $15 anti-aging serum delivered ‘impressive results in very little time'
The Ordinary needs no introduction. It is renowned for creating affordable yet innovative skincare products that work. One of its latest launches is no exception: a growth factor face serum that addresses multiple visible signs of aging at a fraction of its competitors' prices. But does it deliver? I put it to the test before it launched. Growth factors are fast becoming the next buzz-worthy skincare ingredient. They are proteins that naturally occur in our skin cells — simply put, they act as messengers to various mechanisms in the skin, signaling it to repair and rejuvenate. They do so by stimulating skin cell turnover and the production of collagen and elastin — the fundamentals of keeping skin smooth and firm. With age, growth factors deplete, so the skin is less able to repair itself from environmental damage like UV light and pollution, leading to premature signs of aging. By replenishing these growth factors, old skin cells start acting like younger skin cells again. The science isn't new — growth factors were first discovered by scientists in the 1950s who went on to win a Nobel Prize for their work, and luxury skincare brands started infusing their formulas with the regenerating ingredient in the 1990s. But what is new is having access to this advanced science for the first time at a bargain price. Typically, it's only high-end and hugely expensive skincare brands that carry growth factor skincare, excluding The Inkey List's offering, although it's hard to compare when it's not as highly concentrated. But The Ordinary's serum is cheap at $15.50 — so I wanted to see how it performed. How I tested I am an experienced beauty editor in my 40s with typical signs of skin aging, including pigmentation, fine lines, and a loss of firmness. I tested the product every day for three weeks (both in my morning and evening skincare routines) under the same moisturizer.

Luckily, beauty retailers like Sephora make stocking up on all of your favorite beauty brands a breeze. Plus, you can score an extra deal when you use a good Sephora coupon at checkout. Sephora carries makeup, skincare, hair care, fragrances, and more from over 300 brands, including editor favorites like Laneige, Briogeo, and Tatcha.
