I quite like having a mooch around Superdrug – it has brands that you can’t find in good old Boots, and occasionally some bargains.
I noticed the Purity Skincare range which had quite a decent ingredients list so tried out 2 products –
Anti-Aging Mask and Serum (£8.99 for 50ml)
Anti-Aging Moisturiser (£7.99 for 50ml)
So was it any good? Well…
Let me start with the face mask. It’s a gel type cream, you smother it over your face and leave for 10 minutes. I prefer this over masks that dry, so I found this one was very soothing and didn’t cause any itchies.
They actually say on the site that you can leave it on overnight! (reminds me o Elemis’s Quartz Mask which I also like and cost me something like £45).
As for anti aging – well I can’t say it did that but it is a good one for very sensitive skins, and adds moisture.
Ingredients List:
Mask –
Aqua (Water)
Dehydroxanthan Gum
Prunus Amygadalus Dulcis (sweet almod) oil
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Aloe Barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf powder
Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil
Rosa Centifolia Flower Water
Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Benzyl Alcohol
Dehydroacetic Acid
Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
The Anti Aging Moisturizer is also quite lightweight – once again quite soothing and didn’t cause any allergies. I would say it is quite a ‘basic’ cream though – now this will suit some people but for my aunt who used this cream for a few weeks, she found it wasn’t enough for her dry skin.
I’d say this would work well for people who want quite a basic, organic cream and who do not have dry skin.
Moisturizer:
Aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil
Isopropyl Palmitate, Glycerin
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)
Cetearyl Glucoside, Cera alba (Beeswax)
Sodium PCA, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Powder
Benzyl Alcohol
Xanthan Gum, Tocopherol
Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
Ceramide 3, Rosa Centifolia Flower Water Isocetyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid
Cetyl Alcohol, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
There’s tons of other products on the site! I am considering trying out the scrub or cleaners, since I find cheaper cleansers are just as good as expensive ones, and if its organic, even better!
