Following the success of their last skincare innovation, which was hailed as 'Botox in a bottle' by shoppers, Superdrug is back with a brand new range. The retailer anticipates that this will be their 'fastest selling skincare launch to date'.
The new Optimum Peptides collection comes off the back of the health and beauty chain's collagen collection and has already received the seal of approval from both dermatologists and customers.
The new Optimum Peptide range consists of four products: a day cream spf50, a night cream, serum and eye cream. Each product retails at £18, but there's a way to get one for £1.50 with TopCashback.
Each product in the range combines collagen-boosting peptides with targeted ingredients to enhance their effectiveness. They're scientifically formulated and proven to deliver firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin 'within four weeks'.
Meanwhile, Boots' No7 Future Renew Day Cream SPF40 50ml is another peptide-powered spf moisturiser available on the high street. Launched in 2023, the cream is priced at £37.95 and has an average rating of 3.3 stars out of five based on over 12,000 reviews. The Future Renew range was the fastest-selling skincare launch in Boots history, reports the Mirror .
Superdrug's Optimum Collagen range saw similar success when it launched the same year, with the Collagen Night Cream dubbed 'Botox in a Bottle' in Spring 2023, leading to a staggering 702% increase in sales. However, the new peptide range is set to give it a run for its money.

The Optimum Peptides Day Cream SPF50 has been the most popular product from the edit so far, boasting a 4.5 star rating based on more than 50 reviews on the Superdrug website. The moisturiser contains peptides which work to 'smooth fine lines and wrinkles', alongside hydrating arginine and niacinamide, a potent antioxidant, that supports skin barrier and collagen production.
Designed to deliver hydrated, plumped and protected skin, the unscented cream is said to have a 'luxurious' texture that 'glides' onto skin. According to trials, 85% of users agreed that the product leaves skin instantly plumped, with skin feeling 'smoother, firmer and stronger' after a fortnight, with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles minimised after a month.

Cosmetic Dermatologist Dr Nora Jaafar has joined forces with Superdrug as their latest brand ambassador for the skincare range, commending the brand after noticing that she could delay her Botox treatments by 'nearly two months' thanks to using their products. She said: "Peptides have been the best thing I've introduced into my personal skincare routine this year and I'm so glad we finally have an affordable and accessible range on the market with Superdrug.
"I genuinely haven't needed to redo my botox for nearly two months longer than usual because of this new full range. After six weeks, I've noticed more elasticity, tightness and glow to my skin."

And she's not alone in her praise; customer reviews also reflect satisfaction, with one noting: "This day cream protects my skin from sunlight SPF50 and also hydrates. I love how my skin feels firmer and smoother . Fine lines are minimised and it doesn't smell."
Another satisfied user said: "I've been a big fan of the Optimum Collagen range for over a year now so I thought I'd try this. I love the texture of this day cream and also that it contains an SPF. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and my skin feels really bouncy and hydrated. I can't wait to see what improvements it makes in the long term!".
"I have been using this cream for two weeks now and I am really pleased with the effects," wrote a third. "It protects as it is with Spf 50, which is an added bonus. I got a bit worried when I opened it, as it got that yellowy colour like a sunblock, but it feels completely different when applied on the face. It instantly hydrates, and skin feels fresh, plumped and more elastic.
"After two weeks of use I start noticing that my skin feels and looks smoother and firmer. I used it in combination with peptide serum and peptide night cream and I found this trio great."
However, not all customers were entirely satisfied. One shopper left a more critical review, stating: "Initially, I really liked this product. Loved the feel of the cream and it was easy to apply and absorbed nicely into my skin. However, after a week of using the product, I have noticed pilling happening once the cream has been applied. My skin feels pretty dry and dehydrated too. The product has not been great for my skin."
It's worth noting that Superdrug offers a '100% happiness guarantee', meaning shoppers can get a full refund plus 25% off their next own-brand purchase when they return the unwanted product with their receipt.
