Tropic's Skincare Discovery Kit, a £34 festive gift set, has been praised by a woman in her 50s who said her skin looked "younger within two weeks" of using the products. The bestselling set, which can be personalised with Nourish, Hydrate or Balance options, has earned a 4.9 out of five rating based on 1,756 customer reviews.
What's inside the £34 set
Each set contains five travel-size products housed in a toiletry bag with a free bamboo face cloth. The products include the Tropic Smoothing Cleanser, alongside items such as Morning Mist, Skin Feast, Rainforest Dew, Fresh Waves and Super Greens. All items are vegan and cruelty-free, packed with natural ingredients.
Shopper reviews highlight results
One reviewer in her 50s wrote: "I absolutely love these products. My skin was looking noticeably brighter, hydrated and younger within two weeks. Although the bottles look small - a little goes a long away so you really get to try the products properly and get results."
Another customer commented: "Incredible products, made my complexion glow and received so many compliments on youthful looking skin. These are the best products I have ever used." A third buyer, who turned 40, noted a "considerable difference" after a week of use, with skin feeling smoother and looking brighter.
One shopper who bought the kit as a Christmas present said: "Bought skincare discovery kit as a Christmas present for my daughter. She loved the set and has bought the full size bottles and using them daily."
Room for improvement and alternatives
Some customers suggested the set could be improved. One wrote: "It's absolutely perfect except that it really needs a mini Skin Dream to be added to cover a complete routine, for first time users as well." For those seeking a complete routine, Tropic's Skin Dream Firming Night Cream is available for £48 for 50ml, formulated with bio-retinol to enhance radiance and support collagen production.
An alternative to traditional retinol is bakuchiol, found in the Medik8 Bakuchiol Peptides Serum, on sale for £44 down from £55 at LookFantastic, which helps smooth fine lines and even skin texture.
