Superdrug was founded in 1964 by brothers Ronald and Peter Goldstein, who came from a grocery background before making the move into health and beauty retail. It turned out to be a shrewd pivot. The chain has grown into one of the most recognisable names on the British high street, with more than 800 stores across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. For most people, a branch is never far away, which has helped make Superdrug a genuine staple for everyday health and beauty shopping.
Is there an NHS discount at Superdrug?
Superdrug does offer a discount for NHS staff on an occasional basis. When active, the offer gives NHS members 10% off their purchase in store. Redeeming it is straightforward: you’ll need to present a valid NHS Staff ID Card alongside a registered Superdrug Health and Beauty Card at the checkout. The discount is then applied to your order, and you’ll also continue to collect points on your card as normal.
It’s worth checking before your visit to confirm whether the offer is currently running, as availability can vary.
Is there a Blue Light deal at Superdrug?
Blue Light Card holders should check the Blue Light Card platform directly for any active Superdrug promotions. Superdrug has featured deals through the scheme previously, so it’s a reasonable first stop if you’re hoping to make a saving before heading in store.
Does Superdrug offer a student discount?
Yes. Students can receive 10% off at Superdrug stores. To claim the discount, you’ll need a registered Superdrug Health and Beauty Card along with a valid student ID. Superdrug accepts identification from NUS Extra, TOTUM, UNiDAYS and Student Beans.
