The three-piece kit is designed to help beauty lovers achieve an effortless glow, combining a facial self-tan booster, a lightweight moisturiser and a nourishing lip oil
For those whose warm-weather beauty routine is crying out for a glow-up, we’ve found a beauty deal at Boots that’s just the ticket. The Clarins Summer Essentials Set has been slashed from £35 down to £24.50, saving customers 30% – and with multiple Clarins bundles already sold out, this one is expected to follow.
Designed to deliver that effortless, just-back-from-holiday radiance, the three-piece set combines skincare and subtle self-tan for a natural-looking glow. The edit includes three of Clarins’ most-loved products, the Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster (15ml), Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream (30ml) and Lip Comfort Oil #01 Honey (1.4ml).
The tanning drops are usually priced at £23 alone, meaning beauty fans effectively pay £1.50 for the other two products. The drops can be added to moisturiser, allowing customers to customise the colour depending on how many drops they use (Clarins suggests just 2–3 for a subtle bronze).
The Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream (30ml) is valued around £27 and is a lightweight daily moisturiser designed to boost hydration and leave skin looking plump and fresh. Meanwhile, the Lip Comfort Oil #01 Honey is a great handbag essential. The glossy, nourishing lip oil that can be worn solo or layered over lipstick.
Ideal for holidays, weekends away, or to upgrade everyday routines, the three-piece kit is effectively a summer-ready routine in one bag, all for under £25. But for those who are happy to spend a little extra, Boots is currently running an offer where they can get a free five-piece gift when shoppers spend £70 on selected Clarins products online.

Back at Boots, the Clarins set has been racking up five-star reviews from shoppers. One said: “Great set of products, all products I like to use and while in the winter sale an absolute bargain.”
“Another fabulous summer set from Clarins,” said another. “Using the moisturiser and self tan together create a natural, tan which makes you look like you’ve just had a relaxing holiday. Finished off with the lovely lip gloss. Nice texture and feel to it.”
A third wrote: “The facial tanning drops are an all year staple and I use the moisturiser after swimming. The lip oil is hydrating and caring and has become a firm favourite.”
That said, not everyone is convinced. A handful of reviewers noted the tanning drops didn’t show much difference on their skin. They commented: “The application process doesn’t make much sense and the tanning solution doesn’t work for me – there is no difference in the skin tone.”
Though another five-star review read: “I really like the way my skin glow with the self tan, 2-3 drops are enough to have a great result. Easy to use. Also I like the gloss.”
At under £25, this is one of the more affordable ways to try some of Clarins’ hero products without committing to full sizes. But with many Clarins bundles already sold out at Boots, this is expected to sell out soon. Shoppers can find the deal here.
