Those of us who have lived in the UK have often lamented the fact that Boots, the famously cost-effective chemist chain, isn’t in action here. Of course, these days with Chemist Warehouse and Bargain Chemist, there are certainly affordable chemist products about. But many of us still reminisce shopping at Boots – and grabbing one of its famous meal deals while we’re at it.

Well, lament no longer! For the first time ever, the British beauty brand is now available for Kiwis to shop at Unichem and Life Pharmacies.  That includes the cucumber and vitamin C skincare ranges, as well as all the classics: razors, baby products and more. The best part? Most products come in under $15. 

We’ve handpicked some of our favourite Boots products so you know what to beeline for next time you pop into Life or Unichem. So far, there are no meal deals available… but we’ll hope that comes in soon.

The best Boots products to buy now they’re available in New Zealand

Boots Everyday Eye Makeup Remover

$4.99 from Life Pharmacy

This vegan and ultra sensitive skin-approved formula removes dirt, makeup and even stubborn waterproof mascara.  Wipe away all traces and be left without panda eyes! The best part is that it is this effective (but gentle) eye makeup remover lotion only costs $4.99 for a whopping 150ml bottle.

Boots Ultimate Hold Hairspray

$4.99 from Life Pharmacy

I’m particularly excited about this one. During my UK tenure, this was the go-to product for securing my sock bun (aah… 2012). Extremely long lasting and beautifully scented, it’ll keep your blowout in place all day. Yes, for under a fiver. 

DermaCare Cermaides Replenishing Mist

$15.99 from Life Pharmacy

This is a must-buy for the cooler months. This mist is packed with hydrating ceramides and instantly soothes dry, stressed-out skin. It contains probiotics and hyaluronic acid for a radiant finish. Mist it on before hydrating skincare products, and throughout the day to freshen the face.

DermaCare Ceramides Moisturising Lotion

$20.99 from Life Pharmacy

This one-and-done product is perfect for the man in your life you’re trying to convince to start a daily SPF habit. Non-greasy and hydrating, this lightweight moisturiser instantly sinks into the skin, leaving zero white cast or sticky residue. And it’s SPF30. Fabulous.

Boots Biodegradable Cucumber Cleansing Wipes

$2.99 at Life Pharmacy

I know you’re thinking cleansing wipes? In 2025? But these are great to have in the gym bag for a freshen up after a lunchtime pilates class or gym session – kind of like a refreshing shower in a packet. IFYYK.
