GLAMOUR's edit of the 15 best Superdrug beauty products 

B. Skin Melting Cleansing Balm, £9.99, Superdrug

There’s nothing more satisfying than melting away the day’s dirt and makeup with a cleansing balm. With its soft, buttery texture, this balm effortlessly removes every trace of makeup. After rinsing, skin feels velvety-soft and hydrated – never tight or uncomfortable.

Me+ Hyaluronic Booster, £5.99, Superdrug

Gone are the days when skincare ingredients were shrouded in mystery. These days it’s easy to become knowledgeable about the actives scientifically proven to make a transformative difference to our skin. Enter hyaluronic acid, one of the buzziest hydrating ingredients on the market right now, which binds with water molecules in the atmosphere and draws them into the skin. With a 2% concentration, this serum hydrates, plumps and creates a smoother-looking skin texture. ‘Skintellectuals’ will be left purring with delight.

Artiscent Atelier Women Patchouli Passion EDP, £11.99, Superdrug

Created in Paris, vegan-friendly and accredited by Cruelty Free International, this is a sensual blend of powdery orris with a spark of orange flower and a warm patchouli base. Utterly addictive, it’s the perfect scent to take you from day to night.

B. Skin Protect Defence Moisturiser SPF50, £14.99, Superdrug

Any skincare expert worth their salt will tell you that SPF should always be the last step in your skincare routine – even on cloudy days, as UVA rays are still present. What makes this broad-spectrum SPF such a joy to use is that it feels barely-there on your skin, as it’s lightweight and doesn’t leave a greasy residue or a white cast. And because it absorbs so easily, it plays nicely under makeup.

Artiscent Atelier Musk Dore EDP, £11.99, Superdrug

This is a perfume with an unusual twist. Sweet yet tart pineapple meets spicy black pepper for a fragrance that feels grounding but also intriguing; it will have people stop you on the street to ask what you’re wearing. Perfect for you or for treating the man in your life.

Vitamin E. Hot Cloth Cleanser, £4.99, Superdrug

The Vitamin E brand is renowned for delivering effective skincare basics and this cultish hot-cloth cleanser is no exception. Simply massage the creamy cleanser onto your face and neck with circular movements before using the muslin cloth provided to remove the product and incorporate gentle exfoliation into your daily routine.

Me+ Vitamin C with Squalane Booster, £12.99, Superdrug

Another great results-driven product that features not one but two hero ingredients. Vitamin C is deployed to brighten the skin for an immediate glow, as well as a reduction in the appearance of dark spots with continued use, while the addition of squalane, which mimics your skin’s natural oils, makes it an excellent emollient – especially in the colder months.

Vitamin E. Sleep Set Your New Sleep Routine, £10, Superdrug

This three-piece gift set will top anyone’s wishlist, especially night owls who struggle to nod off. The eye mask filters out artificial light; inhaling the relaxing scent from the Vitamin E Pillow And Face Spray helps prepare you for a restful night’s sleep and the Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream has been developed to hydrate and nourish for 24 hours, so you wake up with silky smooth skin.

Me+ Hydrating Routine Gift Box, £7.99, Superdrug

Skincare aficionados and those whose skin skews dry will love this gift set featuring four hydrating products from the bestselling range. Start with the Hyaluronic Cleanser With Niacinamide And Ceramides to gently remove oil and impurities without stripping the skin. Then choose between two high-performing boosters depending on your skin’s needs that day. The Hyaluronic Booster 2% Hyaluronic Solution will give skin a hit of moisture and improves the appearance of fine lines after four weeks of use. Or, if your skin is feeling especially dehydrated, opt for the PGA Booster 1% Polyglutamic Acid The Super Hydrating Booster. Polyglutamic acid is made up of large molecules that form a film on the skin’s surface to prevent water loss, so you can achieve plumper and more hydrated skin after just two weeks, with fine lines appearing reduced after four weeks. Finally, lock all that goodness in with the Ceramide Moisturiser With Amino Acids.

B. 5 Blade Pink and Rose Gold Razor, £9.99, Superdrug

There’s nothing wrong with having body hair but if you do choose to remove it at home, this chic-looking razor is one of the most convenient ways to do it. Best of all, the razor head is infused with a skin-soothing formula made of vitamin E and aloe that is vegan, cruelty-free, and suitable for sensitive skin.

Solait Bronzing Overnight Tan Mask With Collagen, £7.99, Superdrug

While we love nothing more than waking up to freshly bronzed skin, the downside can be parched, flaky patches from the tanning agents. Not with this product, which combines a gradual tan – so you can control the desired colour – with the hydrating benefits of collagen.

Me+ Hair Silicone Free Repairing Argan Oil, £5.99, Superdrug

Packed full of sustainably sourced Moroccan argan oil and vitamin E, this nourishing hair oil provides immediate relief for dry, damaged or chemically treated hair. Rather than just coating the hair to make it feel softer, these ingredients absorb into the hair strands to leave it feeling strengthened, with a healthy shine, and without heavy product buildup.

Naturally Radiant Glycolic 5%, £7.99, Superdrug

This ingredients-led formula champions glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known to help refine pores, resurface the skin, fade pigmentation and smooth fine lines. Better still, it sits alongside kiwi fruit and mulberry extracts to revive dull skin and even out skin tone. We love how easy this product is to use – simply swipe it over the face and neck with a cotton pad after cleansing as you would a toner for more radiant skin.

Solait Tan Drops With Hyaluronic Acid, £7.99, Superdrug

This self-tanning serum ticks so many boxes. For starters, it doesn’t have that telltale biscuity smell. It’s also a gradual tan so you can dial the shade up or down depending on the desired result, whether you wear it alone on your face and body or add a few drops to moisturiser. Last, but by no means least, the formula contains hyaluronic acid so you are hydrating your skin while you tan.

Studio London U Matte-R Setting Mist, £5.00, Superdrug

Whether you’re going clubbing with friends or you need your makeup to go the distance at work, this matte setting spray will make sure your expertly applied foundation and perfectly crafted feline flick won’t budge for a good 16 hours, no matter what life throws at you.
