Avon, which was bought by Brazilian beauty giant Natura in 2019, said the move will help it "embrace a wider customer base" as it seeks to transform into "a truly omnichannel beauty company".
Simon Comins, chief commercial officer at Superdrug, said: "Avon is such a beloved and widely recognisable brand and we couldn’t be more excited to be exclusively launching the cult-favourite products to our savvy shoppers.
"With 137 years of history in the beauty industry, we’re proud to be Avon’s first and only retail partner in the UK and continue to offer high-quality brands with exceptional value to our customers."
