Boots is back with its , and today's savings are better than ever—perfect timing for pre-summer shopping and payday treats. As the name suggests, every Tuesday, Boots selects a range of products and knocks their prices down to just £10 for one day only. How much you save depends on the original RRP, but it’s often somewhere between 40% and 75%, making it a brilliant chance to bag premium products for less.

Skincare tends to be the most popular category in the sale, but it’s not just face creams and serums that get slashed. Expect deals across beauty tech, dental care, grooming gadgets, bath and body products, makeup, and sun protection.

If you’ve got little ones or sensitive-skinned family members in tow, you’ll know just how tricky it can be to find a suncream that offers high protection without irritation or stickiness. Many SPF formulas for kids are thick, leave white marks, or end up causing more upset than sunshine. That’s where this particular gel-cream shines.

is specifically formulated for children’s delicate skin. It gives high-level broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays, while also helping to defend against high-energy visible (HEVIS) light (the kind linked to skin cell damage). Despite all that science-backed defence, the texture is light and soothing. It’s a fast-absorbing gel-cream that’s easy to apply (even on wriggling toddlers), and it won’t leave skin feeling greasy or sticky. Plus, it’s unperfumed and extra water-resistant– two big wins if you're planning beach days, paddling pool play, or just want reassurance that your kids will stay protected even after a splash.

It’s also been clinically and dermatologically tested, so you can use it on children as young as three months. And unlike many children’s suncreams, this one doesn’t leave behind an obvious white cast. Extra points go to it for being 'sand-proof', ie, not sticky enough to have the whole beach cling to your child's skin.

Don’t just take our word for it, the reviews speak volumes. One 5-star Boots customer writes: "Finally found a suncream that isn’t sticky!!! It absorbs straight into the skin and there’s no greasy residue. And because it’s not sticky it’s meant to be anti-sand - still waiting for the weather to test that one out. Living in Cornwall it will be perfect for the kids this summer especially as it’s extra water resistant - beach or garden we’ll be ready for the sun."

Another shopper shared: “We’ve tried so many different brands, but this is by far the best we’ve used. No rashes, no sticky residue, and it actually stays on through water play. It’s now our go-to," while a third parent raved: “ My child’s skin is very sensitive, this gel-cream is amazing. Very gentle on the skin and very easy to apply, absorbs really well. Doesn’t stain the clothing which is great. Would highly recommend the product."

With warmer weather on the way and holidays on the horizon, this is the perfect time to stock up on family sun protection. Whether you're heading abroad or just planning plenty of days out in the UK sun, is a reliable addition to your summer skincare line-up.
