Once you get into trying out body and skincare products that are supermarket branded, you don’t stop! They’re affordable, easy to pick up during shopping trips and many products are really good in quality. Not to mention supermarkets now have their own dupes of well known brands. One supermarket body care buy I bought within the last few months was Lidl’s Cien Moisturising Hand Cream. It cost 59p for 75ml. But was it 59p well spent?
Why did I buy this?
I’ve bought and used the Aldi’s version which is a great hand cream, so I wanted to try this one as well. As a household, we’ve used Aveeno products and other products containing oatmeal and it works well for us. So why not give this hand cream a try for 59p? My daughter uses hand cream daily and this seemed the perfect cost effective purchase for her.
What does this do?
Lid’s Cien Moisturising Hand Cream is suitable for dry and sensitive hands. Containing colloidal oatmeal, it’s naturally soothing, moisturising and calming to skin.
Packaging
Very similar to Aveeno in appearance, this hand cream comes in a small, plastic flip top tube. Neutral in colour with green detailing. If this doesn’t make you think of Aveeno, nothing else will!
Fragrance
Although it doesn’t state on the packaging it’s fragrance free I think it is. There’s no scent to this and has that ‘I’m not fragranced type of smell’ to it.
Consistency & Texture
White in colour, smooth and has a little hold to it.
On the hands
Although this hand cream has hold, it really is quite light weight and went straight into my skin with a light rub. The texture was so light it felt like it was part cream part gel. It felt very soothing and protective, and after a few seconds my hands went from feeling like a cream was on it to being matt.
Recommended?
This is a good quality, moisturising but light weight hand cream which most people will find useful. Hands that are severely dry, I don’t think this is rich enough. But for everyone else this will be great, especially for 59p!
