January payday has finally hit, which means we have a bit of extra cash to treat ourselves. And if you're looking for inspiration, it's well worth checking out Boots' £10 Tuesday promotion running today. If the name doesn't reveal all the info, every Tuesday Boots selects a number of products to run a £10 promotion on. The cost saving per item depends on its starting price, but typically you save between 40%-75% on the usual RRPs of items.
Skincare is the top beauty category frequently highlighted in the £10 promotion, but you can also get great deals across beauty tech, dental, grooming, bath and body, and cosmetics. Today's savings event sees a range of popular skincare items from No7, Garnier and Olay reduced to a tenner, as well as bathtime treats from the likes of Soap & Glory and Sanctuary Spa.
Though we're spoiled for choice, one buy in particular caught our eye: Garnier Vitamin C Day & Night Serum Set for Face 30ml + 30ml, worth £26.98 when bought separately but £10 here today in the Tuesday deal. You don't need to be a mathematics expert to work out the promotion takes the cost per serum down to an affordable £5.
These aren't just any vitamin C serums, though. A quick scroll down to the review section brings up over 700 glowing 5-star reviews from shoppers who say the duo really helped them achieve clearer, smoother skin within just a few weeks.
"The best serum I ever tried, so good and worked beyond your thinking. I loved it because these serums worked on what they said. I used them for only two weeks and they showed me results," raves one.
A second writes: "First time trying these products and after a few days of using them, I can already see a difference in my face. It feels softer and looks brighter. Absorbs easily and only requires a small amount at a time."
"Worked wonders on my acne-scarred red skin. Feel confident wearing no make-up now," says a third, while a fourth adds that the serums helped fade pigmentation on her complexion.
It's worth noting that while the reviews are mostly positive, a few noted the scent was a little 'overpowering' for their liking, which is quite a common complaint with vitamin C serums.
If you want to shop around for different glow-boosting skincare options, we've got plenty of other skin-boosting picks for all budgets. Bondi Sands Gold'n Hour Vitamin C Serum, £9.99 here gives you a similar brightening effect, and Lumene Nordic C Valo Glow Refresh Hydrating Mist, £10.50 here, is perfect for on-the-go skin refreshing.
