ABSOPRO stocks a mixed range of skincare products and automotive supplies. The best value comes from discounted Aesop items and budget-friendly rust preventatives—though the skincare lineup feels misaligned with the brand's automotive positioning.
Why ABSOPRO?
ABSOPRO markets itself as a resource for car enthusiasts seeking quality automotive parts. However, the current catalogue blends high-end skincare (Aesop, Absolution, Parsley Seed brands) with actual automotive essentials like rust-preventative paint and synthetic chamois. If you're shopping here for car care, focus on the Ace and chamois products. If skincare is your goal, these are premium third-party brands rather than ABSOPRO exclusives.
Top Picks
Aesop Lucent Facial Concentrate, 2 Oz — £94.99 (was £135.00)
A 30% discount makes this concentrated serum the standout value on the site. Aesop's Lucent formula targets uneven skin tone and dullness with plant-derived actives. One-line verdict: Best discount if you're committed to high-end skincare.
Ace Rust Stop Indoor/Outdoor Gloss Enamel Paint (Allis Chalmers Orange) — £16.99
A genuine automotive product: oil-based enamel specifically formulated for rust prevention on metal surfaces. Ideal for vintage tractor restoration or outdoor metal furniture. One-line verdict: Cheapest protection for bare metal if you own equipment needing refresh.
The Absorber 27" x 17" Synthetic Chamois — £15.99
A practical drying cloth for post-wash detailing. Synthetic chamois outlasts leather alternatives and handles repeated use without degrading. One-line verdict: Budget-friendly essential for any car maintenance routine.
Absolution La Solution Immune Booster Serum, 15ml — £38.00 (was £50.00)
A 24% saving on a mid-range serum targeting skin immunity and barrier repair. Compact size suits travel or testing before full-size purchase. One-line verdict: Good entry point to premium serums if you're serum-curious.
Enhanced Hydration For Oily and Combination Skin — £131.00
A specialist formula for the largest market segment (oily/combo skin types). At this price, you're paying for targeted formulation, not volume. One-line verdict: Worth it only if your skin type matches exactly and you've tested samples.
What to Look For
- Discount depth: Compare prices against brand RRPs elsewhere—the Lucent Concentrate and Immune Booster Serum carry genuine markdowns (30% and 24% respectively). Others are full-price.
- Actual automotive needs: If you're here for car care, stick to Ace paint and the chamois. Skincare products dilute the offering.
- Product mismatch: ABSOPRO's positioning as an automotive specialist doesn't match a skincare-heavy inventory. Decide whether you trust their vetting of third-party beauty brands.
- Serum vs. moisturiser: Multiple serums on the list (Aesop Hydrating, Absolution Immune, Parsley Seed Eye Cream) but no core moisturisers. Serums alone won't hydrate; you'll need a cream layer.
The Bottom Line
If you're buying skincare, the Aesop Lucent Facial Concentrate at £94.99 is the strongest pick—it's 30% off and a genuinely effective product from an established brand. For car enthusiasts, Ace Rust Stop paint (£16.99) and the synthetic chamois (£15.99) deliver practical value without premium markups. Skip the full-price skincare unless you've tested it elsewhere and know it works for your skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ABSOPRO good value for money?
Value depends on category. Automotive products (rust paint, chamois) are competitively priced at £16–£15.99. Skincare is third-party branded and only discounted on 2 of 5 items; full-price serums (£131, £70) match or exceed department store pricing.
Should I buy skincare from an automotive retailer?
Not necessarily. ABSOPRO stocks premium skincare (Aesop, Absolution) but offers no unique formulations or expertise. You'd get identical products with better selection and reviews from dedicated beauty retailers. Shop here for cars, not cosmetics.
Is the Aesop Lucent Concentrate worth £94.99?
Yes, if it's 30% off (it is). Full RRP is typically £135, so you're saving £40. Aesop Lucent is a genuine mid-tier serum for brightening; it's worth the price but not if you can find it cheaper elsewhere.
What's the difference between a serum and a moisturiser?
Serums are lightweight, water-based concentrates that deliver actives but don't form a moisture barrier. Moisturisers seal hydration in. You typically need both. ABSOPRO's skincare range is serum-heavy, so budget for a moisturiser elsewhere.
