On 19th August Superdrug launches a new facial skin care collection with a price of just £1 per item. The Skin Essentials range is a credit crunch collection offering simple skin care, including variants for sensitive skin.
Customers can choose either Camomile or Fragrance Free formulations, and products which have been designed to offer straightforward skin care in straightforward packaging. The ranges have been created for those customers taking a back to basics approach to beauty and skin care, wanting honest good value products that will leave skin refreshed and moisturised at a great price – but don’t promise the earth.
Joanna Hutton, Superdrug skin care buyer said: “Women are getting savvier in their skin care shopping. Using the correct skin care doesn’t have to mean spending hundreds of pounds on the latest technology. When women spend over £100 on a moisturiser up to £20 of that price can be attributed to the fancy packaging, celebrity advertising campaign and golden lids – in these thrift conscious times we think it’s far chicer to spend money where it matters, on the product.
“It is a fact that dermatologists agree that using high factor sun protection on the face everyday and an inexpensive daily moisturiser will help slow down ageing of the skin more effectively than simply spending a fortune on lotions and potions.”
It is estimated that British consumers will spend over £700m on facial skin care this year, with 59 per cent of that being spent on moisturiser.
