When you head to your local drugstore, you’re not just filling a prescription and picking up the first lip balm you see.

Serozinc by La Roche-Posay
Serozinc from La Roche-Posay is one of the most innovative products for 2018. It’s an aerosol form of oil blotting sheets. Never mess up your makeup again—just spritz on and go. It’s the perfect option for those with oily or combination skin.
Self Tan Express Sheet Mask by St. Tropez
We’re big fans of St. Tropez at London Drugs! Leave this self-tanning sheet mask on for five to 15 minutes for a natural, dewy glow. It takes about 8 hours for the tan to set in—plus, it’s super hydrating for your skin.
Liquid Highlighter by Makeup Revolution
This line of liquid highlighters from Makeup Revolution is liquid gold! For lighter and darker skin tones, try it underneath your foundation for a luminous glow or on top for a gorgeous bold highlight.
Alert Eye Cream by Lavido
Lavido is a natural beauty brand that’s new (and exclusive!) to London Drugs this year. The Alert Eye Cream is one of our favourites, helping to brighten, moisturize, and reduce puffiness around the eye area. Perfect for early mornings!
Nail Lacquer by Prim+Proper
This nail polish is a MUST-try! Prim+Proper is exclusive to London Drugs with a 7-chemical-free formula and fun Canadiana-inspired shade names. With many of the colours you can even get away with just one coat!
Light Therapy Acne Mask by Neutrogena
New from Neutrogena, this mask uses light therapy to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. It uses similar technology to what dermatologists use to help with breakouts for clear, beautiful skin.
Skin Food by Weleda
Weleda is a certified natural and cruelty-free skincare brand using environmentally friendly practices. The Skin Food ultra-rich moisturizer does wonders for dry skin—it’s a cult favourite and also smells amazing.
Microdermabrasion Scrub by Derma-E
This exciting brand is an award-winning salon treatment alternative. The best part? Derma-E products are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and GMO-free! The microdermabrasion scrub can be used to buff skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars. Pro tip: it’s awesome to use before a self tanner.
