Boots has slashed the price of the Clarins Summer Essentials Set from £35 to £24.50, offering a 30% saving for beauty fans. The three-piece kit, designed to deliver a natural, sun-kissed glow, includes the Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster (15ml), Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream (30ml), and Lip Comfort Oil #01 Honey (1.4ml). With multiple Clarins bundles already sold out, this set is expected to follow suit.
The tanning drops alone are usually priced at £23, meaning shoppers effectively pay just £1.50 for the moisturiser and lip oil. The drops can be added to moisturiser, with Clarins recommending 2–3 drops for a subtle bronze. The Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream, valued at around £27, is a lightweight daily moisturiser that boosts hydration, while the Lip Comfort Oil offers a glossy, nourishing finish.
The set has garnered five-star reviews from customers. One wrote: “Using the moisturiser and self tan together create a natural tan which makes you look like you’ve just had a relaxing holiday.” Another said: “The facial tanning drops are an all year staple.” However, some reviewers noted the tanning drops showed little difference on their skin, with one commenting: “There is no difference in the skin tone.”
For those willing to spend more, Boots is offering a free five-piece gift when spending £70 on selected Clarins products online. Alternatively, the Chasing The Sun Skin Edit from Cult Beauty, worth over £185, is priced at £42, while the OK! Beauty Box's Scent Discovery Edit, valued at £200, costs £59.99.
