UK health & beauty retailer Superdrug is to cut prices on famous brand cosmetics as part of a GBP250,000 Mother's Day price war. The move, which will see skincare products by Clarins, Clinique, and Elizabeth Arden given a discount of up to 60%, has the potential to attract market leader Boots' older, more affluent customers.

But despite its 22.5% share of the UK retail pharmacy market and over 2,000 pharmacies, it does not insulate it completely from the threat supermarkets pose.

Plans for the expansion of the Body Shop, known best for its ethical stance and natural products, are timely - given the current interest in ethical trading - and reflect well on L'Oreal.
