High street pharmacy giant Boots has launched a timely discount on a hugely popular Korean skincare set, making it a prime candidate for Christmas stockings. The Anua Double Cleansing Duo Gift Set has been reduced by 20%, now costing £16.80 down from its original price of £21.
A Viral Beauty Sensation Lands at Boots
The promotion taps directly into the sustained boom in Korean beauty products, a trend that was supercharged in the UK by the opening of the dedicated store pureseoul last year. The Anua brand itself gained significant national exposure when beauty expert Nadine Baggott recommended one of its serums on ITV's This Morning during the summer.
The discounted set represents a considerable saving for consumers. Purchased separately, the two full-sized products inside would retail for a combined £27.70, meaning shoppers are effectively getting one product for free with this deal.
What's Inside the Anua Cleansing Set?
The gift box contains a complete double-cleansing routine, a cornerstone of Korean skincare philosophy. The first step is the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil (200ml), designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while offering hydration.
This is followed by the Anua Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam (150ml). This second cleanser aims to wash away any remaining residue and cleanse deep within the pores, leaving skin thoroughly purified without over-drying.
Customer Reviews and a Word of Caution
Online reviews for the set are largely positive, with one recent buyer praising its effects after two weeks of use. They reported, "has made my pores less visible and makes my skin less textured. Love it. The gift set is great as it works out to the price of one."
However, the retailer also includes a note from a customer who experienced a negative reaction, breaking out into a rash after using the oil. This serves as an important reminder that skincare is highly personal, and gifting such products, while thoughtful, can carry a slight risk if the recipient's skin is sensitive or reactive.
For those seeking alternative gift ideas, the market is brimming with options. Boots' move highlights the competitive festive beauty landscape, which includes offerings like The Festive Glow Skincare Cracker from Next, priced at £22.
The Anua Double Cleansing Gift Set remains available at the discounted price of £16.80 at Boots, both online and in stores, offering a budget-friendly entry point into the world of celebrated K-beauty routines.
