Turns out, Superdrug has got our collective backs. Because while you’ve been having your head turned by all those high-priced brands influencers have been waxing lyrical about on no-expenses-spared press trips, Superdrug has been creating a host of Own Brand products to give you a new season glow without burning a massive hole in your holiday budget. Sound too good to be true? It gets better because Superdrug has a ‘results or 100% money back guarantee’ on Superdrug Own Brand skincare*. If that doesn’t inspire you with confidence in the retailer’s little beauties, we’re not sure what does. And while the prices on Superdrug Own Brand skincare might be low, the expertise and science that goes into them is anything but. Packed with tried and tested ingredients like salicylic acid (great for blitzing blemishes and blackheads) and the same peptides (ingredients that can help improve the appearance of fine lines) that you’ll find in products at ten times the price, these are premium products at a pocket-friendly price. Plus, they’re backed by tests on real people. Here are four fab finds we’ve discovered that should be on your list if you’re serious about getting glowing this summer.  1. Me+ SPF50 Hydrating Booster Protect your skin against damaging UVA and UVB rays with Superdrug’s Me+ SPF50 Hydrating Booster We all know that when it comes to skincare, sun protection is non-negotiable. And when it’s hot, you want an easy-to-wear product that feels invisible. Enter this light-textured, non-greasy serum that does double duty, helping to protect skin against damaging UVA and UVB rays while also hydrating it with nourishing ingredients, including vitamin E.  Sorted! 2. Optimum Peptide Serum Superdrug’s Optimum Peptide Serum can slip into almost any existing routine Everyone’s talking about peptides at the moment. These clever ingredients tell the body to do important jobs. And in this case, that job is making more collagen, one of the proteins that gives skin its youthful bounce, helping to smooth the appearance of fine lines and improve skin elasticity and firmness. More than 100 skincare fanatics aged 40+ tried Superdrug’s Optimum Peptide Serum, which contains many of the same ingredients as serums several times the price, over a four-week period, and 84% of them agreed the lightweight, unscented gel serum left their skin looking plumper.1 The best news is that a peptide serum can slip into almost any existing routine without causing any issues and generally works with all skin types, including those of a more sensitive disposition. 3. B. Enzyme Facial Scrub Part of the GLOW collection, B. Enzyme Facial Scrub is perfect for all skin types, even sensitive skin If you really want a healthy glow, a bit of exfoliation is essential, and there are all manner of products — from scratchy scrubs to acid peels — promising to help slough off those dead skin cells, making your complexion look dull and flat.  But if you’ve got skin that’s prone to react to the slightest provocation, exfoliants like those can leave you feeling sore and irritated, rather than luminous and radiant. Thankfully, that’s not the case with this B. Enzyme Facial Scrub, which is perfect for all skin types, yes, even sensitive skin. Natural pumpkin enzymes help to dissolve dead skin cells, while apricot shell powder helps gently remove them.  94% of users agreed that after two weeks, using 2-3 times a week, their complexion was smoother.2 4. Me+ Salicylic Acid Cleanser Superdrug’s Me+ Salicylic Acid Cleanser will keep skin feeling comfortable The heat seems to make all skin a bit oilier, which is not good news for anyone prone to blemishes and blocked pores. If that sounds like you, then salicylic acid is the ingredient you need to know about. It’s ideal for unclogging congested pores, and blitzing blackheads and the like. And, while some salicylic cleansers can strip the skin, this one won’t, thanks to barrier-strengthening ceramides that maintain hydration, keeping skin feeling comfortable. After using it for two weeks, 91% of users agreed it leaves skin looking smoother.3  And, as it comes in a huge 500ml bottle, there’s no danger of your running out, which is great news for your skin. Plus, big bottles mean less packaging (compared to buying several smaller sizes), so it’s also better for the environment, and cheaper too. What’s not to love?
