Beauty fans say £30 Boots box containing £112-worth of premium anti-ageing products makes skin feel like cashmere

Beauty fans are rushing to Boots to buy an 'unbelievable' £30 Beauty Box that contains more than £122.50-worth of premium anti-ageing skin and beauty products. The high street giant has blown shoppers away with how many full-sized premium anti ageing creams, eye creams and balms are in the £30 box for such a budget price.

Boots X REN Premium Beauty Box contains more than £112-worth of skincare products, but is currently only £30 on the chain's website for shoppers who spend more than £50. Otherwise you can buy it for £50 - which still works out at a massive saving.

Keen to see if it's really as good value for money as it appears, I tried the £30 Boots X REN Premium Beauty Box for myself. The results were astonishing. My skin felt like cashmere and looked a lot brighter after just a few days of using the products. It most definitely lived up to the hype.

My hero inside the £30 box was without doubt the REN Brightening Dark Circle Eye Cream, which retails at £44 on its own - more than the entire box of products. The £44 eye cream has hundreds of five-star reviews online, and promises to visibly reduce dark circles after just 7 days, and instantly make skin appear brighter.

I'm lucky and don't really suffer with dark circles under my eyes just yet (no idea how given I'm stressed and staring at a computer screen for twelve hours a day), but the cream did instantly refresh my skin, and the area under and around my eyes looked brighter pretty much immediately. Five star reviewers of the cream agree with me.

One five-star reviewer wrote on the Boots website: "This eyecream does what it promises. My under eyes looked instantly brighter after applying the cream. I will definitely be purchasing this product again."

A second said: "This cream works wonders. I had very dark skin in my eye sockets and large dark areas under my eyes. In as little as 2 weeks there was a really noticeable difference, and I have continued using it twice a day. I'm 63, and the darkening crept up on me over the past few years. Now I feel so much happier, thank you REN."

A third Boots shopper raved: "Beautiful texture. Only need a smidge! Definitely working wonders on the darkness under my eyes. Definitely recommend."

Another exceptional product I absolutely loved was the Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, which retails individually at £40 per pot - again, more than the entire REN box itself. I've put this on every morning for the past week, and it's made my skin feel as soft as cashmere.

It melts into the skin and feels really lightweight, which I love. I've also been putting it on before a primer for my foundation, and it's definitely helped to smoothe out my skin.

The £40 REN Day Cream has brilliant hydrating properties which have kept my skin feeling hydrated for hours, and it's brightened my whole face. But don't just take my word for it.

REN's Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream has racked up thousands of five-star reviews on the brand's website, with people astonished by how good it is. One five-star reviewer raved: "I love this facial moisturizer. It provides my again skin with the moisture needed . Very light weight and my face feels silky and hydrated."

Another said: "This has been my staple day cream for about 3 years now. A member of my family recommended it to me and I haven’t looked back. It’s gentle to skin, perfect consistency (not too heavy, oily or thick) and wears great under makeup. I use this in combination with other REN products and just love it!"

A third fan of the REN Day Cream said: "Love this product so much, i always get compliments on my skin care routine." "I was diagnosed with rosacea a couple of years ago, which completely changed what products I use on my face! I discovered REN Evercalm range and have never looked back! The Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream does exactly what it says in the title, it protects my skin, while also moisturising and keeping flare ups at bay," someone else wrote.

The Boots x REN Premium Beauty Box also contains a Glow Daily AHA Tonic, which I used alongside the other products to further brighten my skin. You'll also get the Overnight Recovery Balm, which will soothe and calm your skin overnight when put on before bed. Your skin will feel AMAZING when you wake up in the morning.

Every single item in Boots' £30 REN Premium Beauty Box has had thousands of five-star reviews online. And having tried it myself, I can honestly say, the reviews don't lie.

You can find all of the reviews and plenty of before and after pictures for each product on the REN website here.
