Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Superdrug POP skincare
This is cheering in every way.
The colourful packaging. (Functional, too: we love a moisturiser which emerges from a tub with the perfect dose, when you press down.)
The affordable prices: nothing more than eight quid. (HALLELUJAH.)
Plus, the fact you can find it on virtually every high street, because this range is one of Superdrug’s own creations.
We’re not saying it’s going to replace your whizz-bang, high-tech age-defying products – but it’s not meant to: this lends towards teens and young adults.
So, what to look out for?
First up, a pair of cleansers to use individually or for double cleansing.
POP Clean Slate Cleansing Balm – a jelly-like texture with impressive make-up melting powers, also removing gunk and SPF (and there is indeed an SPF in the range). It’s not all-natural – paraffin, a petrochemical, features on the ingredients list – but truly does the job it’s intended for.
POP Fresh Reset Face Wash – a gel-to-gentle-foam cleanser, for getting skin even cleaner, post-balm cleanser. Zesty with pink pomelo, it also has vitamin C, along with soothing aloe vera.
Then, follow with…
POP Good Glow Toner Daily – brightens with hyaluronic acid and pink pomelo extract for hydration and just that smidge of glow.
POP Balancing Act Serum – some oils really do rebalance skin., and this features avocado oil – known to do that – alongside gentle aloe vera, so the texture itself is actually mid-way between a serum and an oil. Keep the faith and try it on oily/shiny/combi complexons.
POP All A Blur Moisturiser – a light-as-air priming moisturiser with shea butter and avocado oil, for that soft‑focus, makeup‑ready finish, if you please.
POP Dewy Defence SPF50 Moisturiser – this, however, is the dailly moisturiser WE want you to use, with an SPF50 and a dewy finish. Because whenever anyone under 30 asks us what anti-ageing skincare they should be using, we have just one answer: ‘SPF.’
