The high street retailer has launched 400 of the latest Korean beauty products in-store and online to bring more choice to customers.

Partnering exclusively with Pure Seoul, Superdrug will make a number of its brands, such as Torriden, Celimax and Amuse, available across the high street.

It forms part of Superdrug’s first step into international beauty, a new concept to showcase global beauty brands side-by-side in 130 stores nationwide.

The Korean beauty range is now available in 30 of Superdrug’s destination stores, such as Westfield White City, Manchester Trafford Centre and Glasgow Fort. It will be rolled out to an additional 100 UK stores in January.

Other brands joining the lineup include Medicube and Biodance, along with exclusive products from Frudia, FWEE and TIRTIR.

Korean beauty in the UK is set to grow to £855m in 2032, up from £439m in 2023, according to Credence Research.
