Forget the pretty stuff - these are the 12 unsexy Boots products our editors can't stop buying

Collage of unsexy beauty buys at Boots (L-R) from La Roche-Posay, Nivea and The Ordinary, on a beige background with cream, oil and serum swatches.

As a team of beauty experts, you might not be surprised to hear that our dressing tables make home to some beautifully packaged and luxurious buys.

That said, it's not all glitz and glamour over here, our beauty kits also make home to lots of unsexy skincare, bodycare and haircare products. In fact, some of the best beauty buys on the market, such as the best face moisturisers and best cleansers, aren't the most aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Essentially, these are the bottles, tubes and tubs that might not look the best on your vanity, but trust us when we say they really do the job. So much so, our beauty team would recommend adding them to your basket during your next Boots shop.

That's why we're here to give said exceptional formulas their well-deserved time in the spotlight...
