There’s not many skincare companies like Clinique that have stood the test of time. The high-end brand launched back in the late 1960s in the States before opening its first overseas beauty counter in London just a year later.
Clinique is a mainstay in the routines of younger beauty buffs and more mature women, and for good reason. The pioneering products are dermatologist-developed and fragrance-free, perfect for enthusiasts who enjoy a premium yet no-nonsense approach to skincare.
So, fans of the brand will be delighted to know that Boots has reduced the price of a Clinique Christmas gift set as part of its weekly rotating Star Gift sale, available to shop fully here. The Clinique Daily Essentials Skincare & Mascara Gift Set is worth £122 but has been slashed to £45 for a limited time.

With four full-sized products found inside the Clinique Daily Essentials Skincare & Mascara Gift Set, each one works out to cost £11.25. This is much cheaper than if you were to add all of the products to your cart and buy them individually.
The gift set contains everything you need for a complete daily routine for cleansed, hydrated skin and defined lashes. The full-size set combines Clinique favourites for face, eyes plus a green makeup bag for easy storage at home or on the go.
The star product found inside the set is arguably the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, worth £38 on its own. Delivering a hydrating veil, the rich and creamy moisturiser quenches skin’s thirst whilst strengthening its barrier, so essential moisture stays locked in for all-day hydration.

After use, skin will look soft, hydrated and radiant with a healthy glow. It also includes the All About Eyes Eye Cream, valued at £36.
The moisturising eye treatment delivers intense hydration to the delicate eye area, helping to minimise the appearance of fine lines, dark circles and puffiness. The eye cream is infused with a potent blend of botanical ingredients to promote visibly smoother, firmer and brighter eye contours.
Here’s everything found inside the Clinique Daily Essentials Skincare & Mascara Gift Set:
- All About Clean Liquid Facial Soap Mild 200ml – full size
- All About Eyes Eye Cream With Vitamin C 15ml – full size
- Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ 125ml – full size
- Lash Power Mascara Long-Wearing Formula 6ml – full size

It features the Water Bank Cream Moisturiser, two overnight masks for the face and lips, and the Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner-Moisturiser hybrid to nourish the skin barrier. Perfect for dry skin types, the kit leaves the complexion looking effortlessly fresh and luminous.
Alternatively, The Jet Lag Essentials Set by Summer Fridays costs £35 at Sephora. It contains a mini Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist, a Jet Lag Deep Hydration Serum, a Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum and a Jet Lag Mask.

Back at Boots, the Clinique Daily Essentials Skincare & Mascara Gift Set is yet to receive any reviews from shoppers. The Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, on the other hand, has racked up an overall star-rating of 4.2 based on 616 reviews.
One satisfied shopper said: “I’ve been using this original formula for over 30 years. I discovered it when I hit 30, I’m now 63. I’ve actually got a few bottles on the go.
“One on my dressing table, one on my bathroom shelf, one all ready to go in my holiday wash bag and I’ve decanted into a smaller bottle for the gym. Please do not ever discontinue this product.”

A second wrote: “I’d heard lots of good things about this moisturiser and thought that it might be too good to be true. How wrong I was.
“I have typical dry menopausal skin and after just a few days use, morning and night, my skin was much brighter and no dry patches. I’m just so pleased.”
“Really moisturising lotion without being too heavy,” a third penned. “It feels more like a serum. It’s also good for people who are sensitive to fragrances as it’s fragrance-free.”

One shopper, however, wasn’t as impressed with the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+, giving it a three-star review. They shared: “I had high hopes based on the reviews description. This hasn’t altered my dry skin one bit despite using morning and night, I’m very disappointed.”
“I love the product but not the packaging,” a two-star review mentions. “The lotion does not easily come out of the bottle and I can see that I will not get the last bit out. This is disappointing as it is not cheap.”
Nevertheless, someone else loved their latest Boots purchase, adding: “This moisturiser is fantastic. Lovely light feel to it, non-greasy and doesn’t really smell either.

“Provides moisture all day without feeling like it’s clogging my pores. Doesn’t leave your face feeling damp either, so it’s great to use under makeup. I’m really am very impressed.”
Another five-star review reads: “This moisturizer is a classic for a reason. The texture is lightweight, silky, and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It gives my skin lasting hydration and leaves it soft and smooth all day. I love that it’s fragrance free and suitable for sensitive skin, so it never irritates.
“It works beautifully under makeup and keeps my skin balanced, especially during colder months when my skin tends to get dry. If you’re looking for a no fuss, dermatologist-developed moisturizer that delivers, this is a staple worth having in your routine.”
