Superdrug Deals

Follow MSE Deals on Facebook and Twitter for Black Friday updates, and see our Black Friday 2018 Guide for all our predictions, info and analysis.

If you go online to Superdrug* or in stores (find your nearest), you can find discounts off selected products including beauty, fragrances and electricals until Tue 27 Nov in its Black Friday sale. It started on Wed 7 Nov for Health & Beautycard holders, and from Tue 13 Nov for non-card holders.

Not all items will be cheapest at Superdrug, so do your own price comparisons first. That said, there are some decent savings to be had.

• £80 Babyliss Curl Secret* - next cheapest we found, £84 at Amazon.

Important: Don't allow yourself to get caught up in the Black Friday hype, and only ever buy what you need and can afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’ve found the best deal - don't just take a retailer's word for it.

If you've a bottle of children's blackcurrant cough syrup in the cupboard, check the label as a precautionary product recall has been issued on eight different brands of medicine, over a problem where one of its ingredients could allow mould to grow.

Related: See our Free & Cheap Medicine guide.

Any affected products should not be used, and instead returned to the shop where you bought them for a free replacement. Only the following batches with the expiry dates listed below are affected:

Dr Sam Atkinson, spokesperson for the Medicines & Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA), said: "The mould is not always visible, so return any of the affected cough syrup bottles, even if it looks okay to use. If your child has recently taken one of these cough syrups, and, in the unlikely event that they have become unwell or had a reaction, please speak to your GP, pharmacist or other healthcare professional."

No other expiry dates or products are affected. For more info, see the MHRA's website.

There are a couple more calendars currently on the Superdrug site, including last year's Beauty & The Beast calendar, plus last year's Flutter calendar but they're both currently out of stock. We've asked Superdrug if it expects more stock and we'll let you know when we know more.

If you sign up to the free Superdrug* 'Health & Beautycard' loyalty card, on your birthday you'll get triple points on purchases with no minimum spend (see full T&Cs*). It's valid for 14 days after your birthday.

What else does the loyalty card get me?

You'll also get free standard delivery online, exclusive offers and you can accumulate points to use as part-payment for money off at the till.

If you regularly shop in Superdrug* either in stores or online, it's worth picking up a free Superdrug Health & Beautycard* as not only can you collect one point per £1 spent for money off future purchases, you can get exclusive deals, too.

Every week it has a special 'Treat Thursday' event, with various deals and offers. Examples of previous discounts we’ve seen include a free bottle of water, free delivery, triple points offers and 10% off all own-brand products. 

If you're collecting points, every 100 points is £1 off a future purchase but unlike Boots, you can part-pay with points and then pay the rest with cash, which means you can use your discounts as soon as you've got 100 points.

If you're a student, you can get 10% off toiletries at health and beauty retailer Superdrug* with an NUS Extra card, or with a Unidays code, which you can get for free by signing up with your university details.

You'll need a registered Beautycard (Superdrug's free loyalty card) too and the discount's only available in its stores, not online.

Who is eligible for an NUS Extra card?

The NUS Extra card is available to all students aged over 16 years (including distance learners, vocational and part-time students). It costs £12 and is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. You can use it to get discounts at lots of stores and websites, including Asos, Spotify, Amazon and Domino's.
