I'm a deals writer and these are the best Boots £10 Tuesday buys including Olay and No7 - The Mirror

The high-street giant has slashed the price of a number of makeup, skincare and fragrance products - and you can shop the deals until midnight tonight

Boots’ popular £10 Tuesday sale is back for another week, offering shoppers the chance to stock up on makeup, skincare and even fragrance for a fraction of the usual retail price. As a shopping writer, I scout out the best offers week on week, and today, there are some pretty impressive price cuts well worth considering.

This week, the sale saw the No7 Beauty Collection 8 Piece Gift Set, worth £114, slashed to a tenner. But as expected, it sold out at lightning speed this morning. But if you missed out, don’t worry, because there are still some major savings to be had not only on the No7 brand, but also top names like Olay, Curél, Nip+Fab and Ted Baker.

Some of the discounts offer savings of over £30, so it’s a great way to upgrade your cosmetics bag, refresh your fragrance collection, or try out a new serum without breaking the bank. I’ve sifted through the deals to find the best bargains that give you the most for your money, however, not all £10 deals are created equal, so be sure to check out the total saving you’ll be making before you hit ‘add to basket’.

The first deals worth looking at are from Boots own No7. Their Pure Retinol, Vitamin C & SPF 30 Day Cream Duo was £39.95, but until midnight tonight, skincare fans can save £29.95.

The powerhouse duo combines three of the most dermatologist-recommended skincare ingredients—retinol, vitamin C, and SPF 30. Traditionally, skincare advice has cautioned against combining vitamin C and retinol due to potential irritation concerns, with retinol being recommended for evening use as it can increase sun sensitivity. However, No7 has found a way to unite these ingredients together to be even more effective at improving skin texture and tone.

The potent blend of three dermatologist-recommended ingredients in a day cream is designed to simplify skincare routines for people with busy lifestyles, without compromising on efficacy.

Next up, there’s the No7 LABORATORIES Line Correcting Booster Serum, No7’s most potent anti-wrinkle serum. The serum contains Matrixyl 3000+, a peptide blend designed to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of even deep-set wrinkles. It targets six key areas: the forehead, crow’s feet, lips, under the eyes, between the brows, and nasolabial folds. No7 claims it’s clinically proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to five years, making it one of the brand’s most innovative products. Usually £34.95, it’s currently £10 as part of the offer.

For something that packs a bit more of an anti-ageing punch, there’s the No7 Pure Retinol 0.3% Night Concentrate, usually £37.95. It's great for first-time retinol users who are looking to reduce stubborn wrinkles, even out skin tone, and lift their complexion. Apply two-to-three pumps onto a cleansed face and avoid the eye and lip areas before patting on your eye cream and night cream.

Sticking with retinol, the Nip+Fab Retinol Fix Night Shift Trio was £29, meaning shoppers can save £19 on the set today. Featuring a retinol concentrate, serum, and overnight cream, it provides a full routine to tackle fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. If all three products are used every night, the set contains between 2-4 weeks of use depending on application volume, that works out at 11p per day per product.

We always love to see Olay products in the £10 Tuesday sale - there’s a reason the brand has been a household name for generations. This week, beauty buffs can stock up on the Olay Regenerist Ultra Firming Day Hydrating Face Serum for less than a third of the usual price, paying £10 instead of £34. This deal has also been price matched at Amazon. Supercharged with Vitamin B3 and Peptide, the ‘ultra-lightweight’ serum is designed to improve skin elasticity to reveal ‘visibly firmer looking skin’. The potent formula is fast absorbing and non-greasy, penetrating up to 10 layers deep into the skin surface, which helps optimise surface cell renewal.

There’s also the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel For Tired Dehydrated Skin Moisturiser. The moisturiser is targeted for tired and dehydrated skin, and has racked up over 300 five-star reviews on the high street favourite’s website. One wrote: "Good for my tricky menopausal skin - adds a bit of 'bounce' to skin to disguise baggy under-eyes and crepey eyelids, whilst not blocking pores. Could do a little more to tighten under-eye skin but so far the best under-eye product I've found, especially if kept in the fridge."

Though some say it has 'one drawback' and that's the price, commenting: "This gel is easily absorbed and hydrates really well. It leaves no residue and make up can be applied almost immediately. It is a shame that it is quite expensive which is the only drawback."

An alternative eye cream that’s also on offer is the Curél Moisture Repair Eye Cream. Designed for dry skin, this French skincare product was £25, and is rich in ceramides so that it nourishes and protects. Deeply hydrating, it works to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by dry skin.

If you’re looking for a new scent to add to your perfume wardrobe, the nostalgic Christina Aguilera Eau de Parfum has been reduced from £28. According to Chelsey Saunders, Director of Fragrance, Skincare and Haircare at Boots, it remains a popular choice, decades after its launch. She said: “The superstars of the 2000’s are just as iconic as ever. We’re still loving nostalgic fragrances like Britney Spears Fantasy Eau de Parfum and Christina Aguilera Eau de Parfum.”

If you love a glamorous, fruity fragrance with hints of vanilla and musk, then this one is for you. But if you’re more of a floral fan, the Ted Baker Amelia Eau de Toilette 100ml is also on sale, typically setting shoppers back £32. With notes of rhubarb and magnolia with warm notes of tonka and maple, it's a great option as we head into spring.

While most £10 Tuesday deals offer massive savings, some don’t quite measure up. For example, the Soap & Glory Glow and Dew It Pressed Highlighting Powder may be a fun addition to your makeup bag, it usually costs £13.99 anyway, so the saving is minimal. The same goes for the BaByliss Copper Large Thermal Radial Brush, which saves £2 on the RRP.

Hair perfume is set to be a big trend, so you might eye up the Vera Wang Princess Hair & Body Mist 250ml. While the fragrance is nice - and again, quite nostalgic, it's not as concentrated as a proper perfume, and the savings aren’t huge. And as for skincare the Thayers pH Balancing Daily Cleanser is a solid product, but at £11.99 full price, the discount is relatively small compared to the high-value deals available.

Elsewhere, LookFantastic has some impressive offers running on skincare bundles, including the Liz Earle Hydration Boosting Routine - now £45, was £70. Plus, Cult Beauty has dropped the price of its Cult Bag of Tricks - worth over £465 - down to £97.75 (was £115).

Alternatively, Face The Future, has launched their first Skincare Edit of 2025, Worth over £500, the Revitilising Rituals haul contains a whopping 10 products from iconic premium brands, but you can get it for under £100. Priced at £99.99, the edit is said to be worth £503.50, and it’s packed with some insanely luxurious products from brands like Medik8, Votary, Rodial and Augustinus Bader. That basically means the rest of the items are free (or £9.99 each).
