Affordable, nourishing and great at removing all traces of makeup, these are just some of the plus points about the Boots Botanics Hydration Burst Dual Action Cleanser, and honestly there are plenty more when it comes to this gel-to-oil product.
The cleanser is applied as a thick, oily gel and then transforms into an oil with water. It provides gentle yet effective cleansing for dehydrated and sensitive skin. There’s no tight feeling whatsoever after using this product.
Skin nourishing ingredients

Olive Fruit Oil: Rich in essential fatty acids
Jojoba Oil: Moisturises without clogging the pores
The new Botanics range
The Boots Botanics skincare range has been a firm favourite in our skincare routine for quite some time now. The hard-working products are made from gorgeous ingredients, they feel really luxurious on the skin, and they’re extremely budget-friendly. Earlier this earlier the brand was given a revamp, with updated packaging that looks extremely elegant and a lot more expensive. Plus the formulas have been given a facelift too; Boots have upped their ingredient game with some of the products.
The products have increased in price a little, but it’s all because the formulas have improved, and they definitely still fall in the affordable category.
Dual action cleanser
The cleanser comes in a tall plastic bottle, we love that you have to squeeze the product out rather than stick your fingers in a tub too, much more hygienic.
It gently lifts away impurities and removes makeup with ease, and all traces of the cleanser come away with the water too. If you don’t have a cloth to hand when washing your face there’s no need to worry that it’s going to clog your pores.
There’s a soft and calming scent, that’s not too overpowering. The cleanser is extremely creamy and gentle and perfect to give yourself a mini facial with, really work it in with your fingers. It removes all traces of makeup and leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished afterwards, we can’t find fault with the affordable cleanser.
Pros
Very affordable, huge amount of product, great ingredients, easy to use packaging, hydrating and nourishing texture, fresh scent, little goes a long way
Cons
Towards the end of the bottle you will struggle to get it out, but just cut the tube because there's always plenty of product you don't want to miss out on.
Bottom Line
The Botanics Hydration Burst Dual Action Cleanser would be a welcome addition to any skincare routine. It may be designed for those with sensitive skin, but we think everyone will love using this product. It’s nourishing and hydrating and works well to remove all traces of makeup. It’s great for giving yourself a relaxing facial massage, and the fact it turns to an oil from the gel means it’s easy to remove with both just water or a cloth too.
We can’t fault this cleanser at all, especially with the price (it’s even better when it’s on offer too). Non-drying cleansers are a rarity in the drugstore, but Boots Botanics have definitely realised that we’re leaning more towards nourishing cleansers, foaming cleansers no more.
