23 Best Skincare Gift Sets To Spoil Any Beauty Lover | Glamour UK

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission. Learn how we test.

October has officially arrived, and those of us with beauty-obsessed friends are already bookmarking the best skincare gift sets ahead of the festive season. But unlike other beauty gifts that are filled with makeup and perfume, skincare is a bit more difficult to nail, particularly if you're shopping with certain skin concerns or skin types in mind.

A quick scroll through SkinTok's 560.4 million posts might inspire you, but it can also confuse you. After all, with so many products overcrowding the retailer space, it's easy to get overwhelmed. This is where we come in. We've scoured the industry's finest, bringing you a curated edit of glow-bestowing gift sets that are perfect for every preference.

Of course, while some of the said picks are limited-edition for Christmas 2024, others aren't so season-specific, making them exceptional presents no matter the occasion. Come birthday, Valentine's Day or even anniversaries, these skincare bundles will pamper your loved ones all year round. And let's not forget: buying gift sets is far cheaper than shopping for individual products, making these selections not only practical and meaningful but also cost-effective.

Ranging from luxe night-time sets and restoring formulas to brightening daytime moisturisers and hydrating serums for sensitive skin, there's no shortage of options to choose from. Here, you'll find something to fit all budgets, skincare types and preferences, hailing from notable brands like Clarins, Rhode, Elemis, Glossier and Medik8.

For the GLAMOUR team, it is of huge importance that we provide our readers with trustworthy, honest and unbiased reviews of every product we write about – gift sets included. To this end, we aim to review each product in person wherever possible.

Alongside our freelance contributors, the GLAMOUR team has reviewed each set based on their price, feel, packaging and final result on various skin types and conditions. Some gifts might not have made their way to our desks and for those, we consulted customer reviews and our little black book of expert contacts to give you a truthful review nonetheless. Find out more about how we test here.
