'Superdrug's 'miracle in a pot' £15 anti-ageing cream has people asking if I've had Botox'

After weeks of being out of stock, a best-selling viral moisturiser from Superdrug’s own brand is finally back in stock. And even better – you can buy one get one free on the whole range right now.

And one particular cream has left one woman being asked if she’d been under the needle to achieve her youthful look.

The shopper had been using the Superdrug Optimum Collagen Night Face Cream, which costs £14.99, which works to smooth skin and reduce wrinkles in a matter of weeks.

In a five star review on the Superdrug website, she said: “This cream is a miracle in a pot. After a few nights' use I noticed a marked improvement in my skin's hydration levels. After a month my fine lines are barely noticeable, and some deep frown lines have actually disappeared.

“People have asked me if I had Botox. (Certainly not!). I have never achieved results like this with any other product, expensive or otherwise.”

The Optimum Collagen Night cream is specially formulated to deliver maximum hydration and to target the signs of ageing whilst you sleep. It’s formulated with a combination of a powerful peptide and minerals known to help skin to boost its own collagen production, and ingredients that help plump the skin for a firmer and youthful looking glow.

Superdrug claims that the night cream instantly nourishes skin, and within two weeks, it appears ‘smoother and more radiant’. But the best results are seen after four weeks of use, where the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are reduced and skin feels firmer.

Other customers have also attested to the previously sold-out cream’s results, too, with many saying it’s better than high-end products.

One commented: “I have tried a lot of 'expensive' creams and this product has been better than all of them. It leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated, it's honestly like a miracle cream. Calms the skin if you're using retinol products.”

Another added: “I thought I would give this a go and have been using this collagen night cream for around two weeks now and I can definitely feel the difference in my skin. A little goes a long way, it's not a thick consistency nor is it too runny, I've noticed my skin feels alot plumper and very soft. I would definitely recommend it.

“It works just as well and in a few cases better than some more expensive night creams which I have tried! For the price, as I brought it on offer it was definitely worth trying and I'm so glad I did!”

Despite having more than 40 five star reviews, two shoppers left one star reviews, with six three stars. Some have complained about it not being particularly ‘rich’, saying they ‘prefer something more substantial’, while one shopper commented: “I'm afraid that while the cream is not bad, I don't like its smell! Sorry.”

The whole Superdrug Optimum Collagen range is currently on buy one get one free with the retailer, meaning customers can also pick up the day cream, eye cream, or even the collagen booster for the price of just one product. The whole range is priced at £14.99 per item, so with the deal, makes each one around £7.50.

The Superdrug Optimum Collagen SPF30 Day Cream, which contains UVA and UVB filters to protect skin against sun damage, has also been praised by shoppers, with one saying it’s ‘easily one of the best face creams I've used’, while another said it’s ‘the best pharmacy moisturiser on the market.’

A third claimed it to be ‘better than Olay’, writing: “I decided to buy this cream on a recommendation from a friend as I normally buy Olay's creams which are normally £35 each and with the offer I thought why not try it!! This cream is really rich, moisturises my skin leaving it soft and supple, it's fragrance-free and so easy to get into to the Jar as I often have difficulties with the Olay ones.
“I've been using it now for about a week and can see a difference. I'll be definitely recommending this to all my friends!! I have now found my new collagen cream. I even bought the night one to match.”
