During lockdown, a parcel a day is the only thing that seems to keep me sane. I ordered a few things from Superdrug so I thought I’d share what I got for a little mini Superdrug haul. Although, it’s only 4 products so nothing extreme.
The first thing I got is actually a repurchase of the Superdrug own brand Vitamin E intensive body cream. I loveeee this body cream, throughout winter my skin gets so so dry and this is the only body cream that actually helps and leaves my skin feeling so soft and hydrated. I love using this cream after I’ve shaved my legs, it leaves my skin so silky and doesn’t irritate my pores after being freshly shaved. It is quite a thick cream but I’ve realised soaking it into my skin when my skin is still wet ( thank you Tik Tok ) helps it spread easier and soak in quicker.
The next thing I got is this Naturally Radiant brightening eye cream. This is another Superdrug own brand skincare product, from using some of their products in the past I highly recommend them so, I thought I’d give this a go. I’ve been looking for an eye cream for a while, I had been using the caffeine solution from The Ordinary but for some random reason my skin started to get irritated by it so I had to look for something else. I like this one because it’s a really lightweight cream but leaves my under eyes feeling so soft and hydrated. Hopefully this is going to help the skin under my eyes because at the moment, it’s so dry and sore.
Another thing from the ‘Naturally Radiant’ range from Superdrug is this Glycolic Toner. I’ve used glycolic acid toners before and did really like them, I was looking at the Glow Tonic from Pixi but I thought I’d try this one out first because it’s a fraction of the price. I like that glycolic acid acts as a exfoliator but isn’t too harsh on my skin so it leaves my skin feeling ‘new’ and refreshed. I’ve used some glycolic acids before that leave my skin red and blotchy, I don’t know if I was using too much or too often but I’m definitely going to use this sparingly so my skin can get used to it. I have used this once last night and it didn’t burn my face or seem to irritate my skin, so hopefully this will work for my skin.
The last item I got was this Vitamin C Radiant Oil Cleanser. I’ve heard a lot about vitamin c and the benefits it has for the skin. I don’t think I’ve personally used vitamin c so I can’t compare this to anything else. However, I’ve spent so many hours on tik tok ( again thanks tik tok ) watching skin care routines and seeing what people use for their morning / night time routines and a LOT of them mention they remove their make up / sunscreen etc with an oil cleanser before going in with a normal face cleanser. I picked up this vitamin c because it claims to ‘brighten, refresh and soften’ skin so I thought maybe this would go in hand with the glycolic toner as they seem to do the same thing. I did use this last night in the shower and it smells sooo nice and fruity. The smell isn’t too over whelming which I like because some fragranced skincare can smell horrible. It did leave my skin feeling so clean and soft but I think it’d be much better using it out of the shower so I can properly blend the oil into my skin dry and then rinse off with water. I’m super excited about this product and can’t wait to see what it does for my skin.
Have you tried anything from Superdrug’s own skincare range? Let me know :)
Thank you for reading!!
