I emailed Boots last week asking if they could please confirm if the current £5 skincare vouchers were valid against purchases of ANY skincare products from the listed ranges, or only valid against facial skincare. I explained that I had asked 4 different SAs in 3 different stores and kept being told different answers i.e. some said any skincare, Sanctuary body washes etc were fine, but some said no, it had to be facial skincare only.
This is the reply I finally received today......

Thank you for contacting us about our £5 skincare voucher offer in store.

I can confirm that the voucher is currently for use on skincare products only.
If you speak to one of our people the next time you are shopping they will be
able to advise you of the other promotions we are currently running.

We also have a range off offers available on our Advantage Point Machines.


I dont need to ask anyone about other promotions!! (I know all the best deals thanks to this thread!!!) I have been using the APM for years!! And I still havent been given a clear answer to the question I actually asked!!

Oh well, sorry folks, I did try!! :rolleyes:

The person writing that email should be a polititian:rolleyes: :rolleyes:


I have now been charged for MY order but it still just says "we have received your order"
No news of OHs order!

i think its a bit bad stopping the 5 pound vouchers, i know i stick out like a sore thumb when i go in with mine, i have 6/7 of the skincare ones left, I think i will get rid asap all in one hit, also going to get another fairy purse use 2 coupons, some nivea stuff with a coupon, some nappies with points coupons and huggies payment coupons, so i will pay nowt for the lot and watch there faces when i walk out with a cheeky grin may also get some more mouthwash and might give it to them for their own use, i only want the points :rotfl:

ps can anyone recommend any good /effective products for removing black heads on the nose?? (I tried those strip things but they didn't really do much apart from make my nose itch!!)

THANKS for any help!!!XX

Mine have been much better since using Liz earles cleanse and polish with a muslin cloth(Sorry Boots:p ). Am now trying sanctuary hot cloth cleanser. I wash it off with warm water and then rinse again with cold to encourage the pores to shrink.
I think the theory is to try not to use drying things on your skin as it will produce more oil to counteract the dryness. Also use non- comedogenic moisturiser ( non pore clogging).
