The offenders placed more than £1,000 worth of facial cream products into a rucksack and left the store.
When they were challenged by a staff member, an altercation took place, resulting in the pair kicking the worker in the face, causing a suspected broken nose, cuts, swelling and bruising around the eyes.
The victim was treated by an ambulance at the scene but did not require further hospital treatment.
Thames Valley Police previously appealed for information over the weekend and released an mage of two men.
