In May, Superdrug expanded its online offering and started to sell clothes through its website. The expansion into fashion comes as Superdrug pushes to become more of a lifestyle "destination" rather than just a traditional health and beauty retailer.
Superdrug now sells clothes from 60 fashion brands, including Crocs, Jack & Jones, Skechers, Regatta, and Nike. The company said the collection sold on the site had been "handpicked" due to its popularity. Superdrug said it wanted to meet customer demand for stylish plus-size clothing and inclusive options.
Customers will still be able to shop the brand's usual products, including fragrances, electrical appliances, makeup, and skincare. However, the clothes are only available online and are not available in the retailer's high street stores.

Superdrug plans to add more stores as demand for weight-loss drugs soars
An increase in demand for weight-loss drugs, including Mounjaro and Wegovy, as well as demand among its generation Alpha customer base for beauty products is driving expansion at Superdrug. The retailer plans to add 25 more stores to its 800-plus strong chain this year as well as extending existing outlets, despite troubles across the high street that have led to the closure of hundreds of stores at its rival Boots and downsizing at chains from Poundland to River Island. Superdrug is bouncing back from difficult times during the pandemic as demand for its weight-loss services soared almost 300% in the first half of this year compared with last year. While many of the drugs are ordered online via its private GP service, the retailer is looking at how it can adapt and expand in-store services to cater to demand so that its team of nurses can offer help with the potential side-effects such as hair loss, for example. More serious issues, including problems with the pancreas, have also been flagged in some cases. 'For us it is good that people are getting healthier and fitter and that is really important,' said Simon Comins, the chief commercial officer at Superdrug, but those taking the drugs may want 'social interaction in store' to help discuss any issues they encounter. Superdrug, once the downmarket and dowdy rival to Boots, is also capitalising on the growth in the beauty market and its appeal to gen Alpha – people born from 2010 onwards – who are looking for in-store experiences as they head to the high street after school and on weekends. The retailer has made a conscious effort to gain youth appeal, catering to the generations influenced by TikTok and Instagram. Its latest gambit is the 'beauty playground' – tables kitted out with testers of the latest hot products, mirrors and ring lights for flattering social media snaps designed to appeal to tweens and teens. 'Generation Alpha is our focus,' says Comins, touring the first of 30 planned beauty playgrounds in the group's Westfield store in Stratford, east London. 'They often come as a 'squad' and they like the opportunity to touch and feel the products.' As much as clicking [to buy] on TikTok is easy and convenient, people want to browse in real life.' Even on a hot June lunchtime, a steady stream of young women are posing in front of the mirrors and testing out the products. The store has been extended by taking over two neighbouring outlets to give more space for experiences including a brow and nail bar, and piercing service. It is part of efforts to draw shoppers into physical stores rather than just buying online. Other services that have been tried include barbers and hairdressers and trained hundreds of pharmacists who can offer free consultations on skin conditions such as acne – the kind of service it may be difficult to access via a GP. Comins says Superdrug has a team that scans social media to pick up on the latest popular brands and has brought many into store including Geek & Gorgeous, Starface acne stickers, BPerfect cosmetics and the colourful Daise body care range appeals to tweenagers. Industry insiders say the demand for beauty and cosmetics brand has even diverted spend from toys and other traditional products bought by not-quite teenagers. Liz Tan, a senior strategist at the trends advisory firm WGSN, says 'Zalpha', the fringe generation that threads between gen Z and Alphas, are leading the beauty craze 'having grown up immersed in social media, with influencers and creators promoting beauty products online. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion 'Beauty brands are also increasing, building and establishing brand awareness, affiliation and emotional connection through digital playgrounds in gaming worlds like Roblox,' she says. These youngsters are also getting into skincare regimes at a much younger age then previous generations as 'health-conscious Millennial parents emphasise routine building as part of their daily lives'. Alex Beckett, senior research director at market research firm Mintel, adds that young consumers are prompting their parents to spend. 'Thanks to their exposure to social media, YouTube and Netflix, gen Alphas are exposed to trends and dopamine-raising crazes intended for older adults, and they're emulating them – essentially becoming hyper-informed consumers at an early age.' For its older customers, Superdrug's push into weight-loss services comes as thousands of patients in England are from this week able to access weight-loss jabs via their family GP. But the NHS rollout is limited to 220,000 people with the 'greatest need' and many more people are prepared to pay for private access, so demand from high street and online chemists is expected to continue. Recent figures from its rival Boots also indicated strong growth in pharmacy sales – up 5.4%, while its online service increased sales almost 15% in the three months to end 31 May, although the group did not break out the contribution from weight-loss drugs. Analysts at GlobalData said the chain was benefiting from demand for treatments for skin conditions such as acne, as part of a wider trend – being encouraged by government policy – towards visiting the pharmacy before trying the GP. Superdrug, which is owned by the Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison Holdings, is expanding after Debenhams – once one of the leading beauty retailers in the UK – left the high street and House of Fraser and John Lewis have closed stores.

Boots £112 Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium perfume reduced to £33
Shoppers have said the luxury perfume gives an 'effortlessly graceful' impression to others who smell it Boots shoppers can take advantage of a huge saving on an expensive perfume usually worth more than £100. For a limited time only, shoppers can get a major 70% saving on a "classy" perfume that users say is suited for both going to the office or on a night out. The Black Opium Illicit Green Eau de Parfum is available with a massive discount. Normally, this expensive 75ml bottle would cost £112 at Boots, but there is an offer on to get it for just £33.60 - a huge saving of £78.40. Illicit Green offers a twist on the classic YSL fragrance Black Opium. Its addition of "juicy green mandarin and creamy fig accord" creates a " vibrant mocktail-inspired fragrance that invigorates all the senses." Boots has lots of deals on at the moment for people wanting to purchase a fragrance. Most deals apply to major brands and bigger bottles that should last a while, like Versace Woman Eau de Parfum (was £66, now £24) and Vera Wang Princess Eau de Toilette (was £66, now £26). There are some men's options too, which might make ideal last-minute Father's Day presents for June 15. Big discounts include a 200ml bottle of BOSS Bottled Night Eau de Toilette (was £114, now £58.50) and the same-sized bottle of Rabanne Invictus Eau De Toilette (worth £129, now £64.50). Other shops have similar offers on at the moment too. Superdrug is offering Ghost Deep Night Eau de Toilette (75ml for £28, reduced from £55) or The Perfume Shop has La Vie Est Belle (100ml for £67.99, down from £127). But, women have been praising the glitter-encrusted bottle of YSL's designer fragrance that has been described as a "beautiful, classy fragrance" that "lasts ages" and "leaves an impression". Dozens shared their opinions online about the "luxurious fragrance". One said: "Versatile and well-suited for a variety of settings, this scent is never offensive or overpowering — just effortlessly graceful." Another added: "Reasonable price and love the perfume. I wear it for work and going out." A third wrote: "I have two other fragrances in the black opium collection, but Illicit Green is my favourite. When I'm out, people always ask what perfume I am wearing." A few people had issues with the perfume, as one claimed: "Doesn't live up to YSL name. It doesn't stay long at all. Not value for money." Another added: "Really disappointed with the lasting of the fragrance. It just does not last on my skin and even I cannot smell it." However, more experiences were positive as someone else put in their review: "The smell is very long-lasting and gets better as it wears. The first spray is not a true indicator of how it will smell once it settles. I absolutely love that it can be worn day or night, depending on how much you spray on yourself. A fifth shared: "Lovely scent and lasts long, worth stocking up when discounted." And, one more added: "Absolutely brilliant, a great choice that smells divine and is a long-lasting fragrance."
