One of Shiseido’s must-haves is the Clear Suncare Stick, which has gone viral on TikTok for its failsafe UV protection, nourishing the skin and preventing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. This water-resistant creation uses SynchroShieldTM to protect against harmful UV rays, without leaving a white cast like some sun creams, or stickiness. Retailing for £28, it makes for a perfect stocking filler or main pressie, depending on budget,
We should all be using a good quality cleanser to remove makeup, pollutants or dirt from our skin if we want to avoid clogging our pores and triggering a breakout. Shiseido has the solution in the form of the Waso Shikulime Gel-to-Oil Cleanser. This hybrid cleanser is easy to use, gentle on the skin, and removes stubborn eye makeup, as well as dirt and grime – a cleansing regime for £24.50.
Also from the Waso range, we’re eyeing up the Waso Yuzu-C Eye Awakening Essenence, Waso Pore Care Kit, and Waso Shikulime Mega Hydrating Moisturiser, any one of them great if you’re stuck in a skincare rut.

With a price tag of £32, Shiseido’s award-winning Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate serum may be over the £30, but it’s also a worthwhile investment. This multi-purpose moisturiser, which has garnered over 3,000 glowing reviews from Boots shoppers, is a beauty bag staple, as it works to hydrate, brighten and tighten the skin for a youthful complexion. Considering one serum is sold every seconds, it’s a stocking filler guaranteed to impress.
And let’s not forget bundles, too. The Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Set has our piqued as it features the iconic Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Eye Cream, Wrinkle Smoothing Cream and Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate, to help you complete a simple three-step beauty routine for morning and night. While the trio may come in at £66, it contains almost £100 worth of products, which means you save a hefty £28.40.
Boots shoppers are eligible for free delivery on orders over £25, as well as next day or named day delivery at a fee – as well the option to collect in store. But be quick – the deal on all these Shiseido bestsellers ends on Christmas Eve.
