    The British health and beauty retailer/ pharmacy chain operates in the United Kingdom. Boots…read moreequivalent in the states would be Walgreens. The store was big and had a variety of items. I went in looking for a hairbrush and got what I needed.

    PLEASE NOTE: This is the same Boots as this one (https://www.yelp.com/biz/boots-edinburgh-33 ),…read moreI've asked Yelp to merge them but they have not. Anything on Princes St is going to be busy, so expect this Boots to constantly have people coming and going regardless of the time of day. Fair enough, though, since it's in a great location for people getting off the tram or train! Beauty products, toiletries, medicine, random electronics (like phone chargers), quick snack options. LARGE selection and great prices. I think this is the biggest Boots in the city (spread across two floors), but I agree with others: it feels a bit dated and I personally find the lay-out confusing. It was hard to find what I was looking for because they weren't in the same category as similar products, if that makes sense. It felt like I was constantly going up and down the escalator looking for simple things like hand sanitizer, paracetamol, lotion, etc. Appreciate the quick self-check out! ***IMPORTANT*** This Boots closes at 7pm; the one at St James Quarter closes at 8pm.

    This took me by surprise! Now anyone who knows me knows that I like top end places, especially…read morewith my lotions and potions. Now I am also a strict vegetarian, so have been trying to only use products that are not tested on animals or have any non veggie ingredients and that the companies producing them are members of PETA (People for the ethical treatment of animals. Now that is a big ask and amazingly Superdrug are on this list. I have been in a few times and I am now using their face wash daily £3.49 a bottle compared with my previous £27 a bottle more expensive brand. Now I am aware that it doesn't have the plush surroundings or snazzy addresses of its counterparts, I am pleasantly surprised and I have even joined up to their points card. Well done Superdrug on your good ethics!

    It might be worth walking the extra 10/15 minutes to the giant Superdrug on Princes Street, but…read morethis shop carries most of the basics. I'm a creature of simple tastes when it comes to my beauty regime and so far this place has ever let me down. I'm not going to up my rating though because, maybe I'm just spoiled, but where's all the deals?! I work on a limited budget (also I'm a miser...) so I rejoice in deals but this small shop rarely has any, apart from emery boards at the till the odd time. There's also not a huge range when it comes to newer big name brands, you'll get your Nivea and Clearasil but don't expect any of the newer brands that can be found in the bigger shops. They seem to have a particular client base, who like the essentials and they're sticking with it! So, besides me being annoyed I have to pay full price for things, the staff are nice and always helpful. It's an alright place that will likely have what you need, but don't be surprised if they don't!
