Boots has recently released its Beauty Trends Report for 2023, and using data from 15 million active Boots Advantage Card holders, combined with in-house expertise and the latest launches, it has predicted what shoppers will want to buy in years.
Unsurprisingly, one growing trend is savvy shoppers, as customers want more bang for their buck and are more knowledgeable about skin care products than ever before.
According to Boots, shoppers are searching for the best value products, adopting hyper-personalised regimes and investing in multi-functional products, all without breaking the bank.
The retailer also revealed that Boots’ best-selling mass skincare brand last year was its range of affordable skincare, where prices start from just £1.50.
So popular indeed, he sold one product every three seconds.
As for the most searched ingredients, at the top were wrinkle-bending retinol and hydrating hyaluronic acid.
If you’re yet to try Boots branded skincare, we’ve rounded up the best-selling products from the range in 2022, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more affordable beauty routine.
With prices starting at £1.50, even the most expensive items are still tenfold, coming in at £6.
So, for less than £20, you can build a whole regime full of hard-working ingredients that pack a punch to brighten, hydrate, de-puff and whiten skin. See you at checkout?
