This range is specially formulated to immediately comfort and replenish the skins moisture levels, which helps to improve the signs of aging caused by dehydration.  The products contain moisture intensive Nordic Birch Water sustainably tapped from Silver Birch Trees.  Birch water is recognised as a pure, potent anti-aging ingredient by Nordic women. 

Optimum PhytoHydrate Anti-Dehydration Birch Water Micellar Tonic leaves skin cleansed without feeling tight.  I really like this micellar tonic, I found it great for cleansing my skin even when I was wearing makeup (although I don't wear a lot of makeup.  You would probably need to double cleanse if you are wearing a full face of make up).  You can't use it on your eyes so you do need to use a make up remover/or other cleanser first if you are wearing eye makeup.  It has a very light fragrance which is not perfumed and you only need to use a small amount of the product to cleanse your face so it will last a good while.

Optimum PhytoHydrate Anti-Dehydration Birch Water Day Cream SPF15 is a lightweight cream which absorbs quickly when applied and keeps my skin moisturised all day.  I didn't have any dry areas at all on my face when I used this cream. I like the fact that it has an SPF even though at this time of year I barely see the sun as I tend to get to work and leave work when it's dark outside.  You can apply make up over the top as it doesn't leave a greasy residue but more often then not I use it and go au natural as it leaves my skin looking and feeling great. Again I found that a little of this product went a long way so it lasts for ages and it has a very light fragrance.

These products are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and the key ingredients are Birch Water, Vitamin E, Pro-Vitamin B5 and Shea Butter.

Both products carry the Cruelty Free International stamp.

Optimum PhytoHyrate Anti-Dehydration Birch Water Micellar Tonic is priced at £4.99 & the Day Cream is £14.99.  These are good prices anyway, but even better, at the moment Superdrug have them on offer for half price.

I love Superdrug's range of products as they offer great products with high end ingredients at high street prices.  I have also reviewed one of Superdrug's other ranges here.
