  • New Skincare Products In Aldi

    Aldi never fail to disappoint me. I walked into my local store for milk, but somehow made a beeline for their new skincare products! And there were quite a few skincare (and haircare) products that caught my eye thanks to their bright and vivid packaging. So what does Aldi’s Lacura skincare range have to offer skincare lovers at the moment?

    So what are my impressions of these skincare products? Firstly, some of these aren’t new e.g the Jelly Cleanser. This isn’t a bad thing. It’s nice to see some products coming back, rather than just one hit wonders. What I like is the mix of products available and how they form a solid, full, skincare routine. These seem easy to use, hard working products all at great, budget friendly price points. Will they suit everyone? Of course not! But definitely worth a try if you’re looking for a new skincare item.

    Believe it or not there were MORE products I saw in Aldi but too many to note down, including hair products and beauty supplements. As always, check your local store sooner rather than later because one minute products are there and then they are gone!

  • What’s New In Aldi For Skincare?

    Aldi’s own brand Lacura gets a lot of attention, and rightly so. They bring out products that are interesting, exciting and sometimes dupes of well known brands, but all at affordable prices. Every time I go into my local store I always check to see what’s new and my last trip didn’t fail me. So what new products did I spot in Aldi recently?

    New Lacura skincare products in Aldi
    Lacura’s Micellar Cleansing Water

    Gentle on the skin, fragrance free and contains ceramides and niacinamide, Lacura’s Micellar Cleansing Water is supposed to remove make-up and dirt gently but effectively. £2.99 for 250ml.

    Lacura’s Micellar Cleansing Water
    Lacura’s Hydrating Cleanser

    Formulated for normal to dry skin, Lacura’s Hydrating Cleanser contains ceramides, hyaluronic acid and is fragrance free. This cleanser should clean without stripping the skin of it’s natural oils. £3.99 for 236ml.

    Lacura’s Hydrating Cleanser
    Lacura’s Moisturising Cream

    This works perfectly alongside the Micellar Cleansing Water and Hydrating Cleanser, containing ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Lacura’s Moisturising Cream is for dry to very dry skin, and not just for the face but the whole body too. Fragrance free, quick absorption, moisturises instantly but long lasting. £3.99 for 250ml.

    These three products packaging wise, ingredients (some) and the skin types they’re aimed towards makes these look like dupes of the skincare brand CeraVe. Will these be identical? Probably not. Similar? Possibly? Cheaper? Most definitely! Always compare ingredients to see how dupes compare to the original counterparts. But as stand alone products these are items I would want to purchase to use because they tick my skin boxes.

  • How Much Have These Products Gone Up In Price?

    Nobody is surprised how much everyday items have gone up in price over the last few years. It’s getting to the point where it’s now the norm, not just in the UK but worldwide. This made me think, how many products have gone up in price that I’ve bought and reviewed? And by how much?

    Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Face Wash

    When I first tried and reviewed Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Face Wash, this budget friendly skincare product was only 99p. Since then, it’s gone up to £1.15, which isn’t too bad, but it still costs more. It’s a product I still buy and myself and my children use it because the formulation is gentle, fragrance free and does the job.

    Lidl’s Lovely Eau de Parfum

    Nicely packaged, beautifully scented and only cost £4.45 in 2022, Lidl’s Lovely Eau de Parfum was a great buy at the time. I really enjoyed using this supermarket fragrance and I was actually complimented when wearing this. How much does it cost now? £5.65. £1.20 more compared to 2 years ago.

    Lidl’s Suddenly Fragrances Lovely
    Something actually costs less! Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Hand Cream

    I bought Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Hand Cream because the formulation sounded moisturising and soothing, and similar to products within the Aveeno brand. The price point of 69p for 75ml was a brilliant price. Fast forward to now, and housed in a different looking tube, this costs 10p less at 59p!

    Aldi’s Lacura Spa Foaming Bath Soak & Luxury Bath Float

    I first purchased Aldi’s Lacura Spa Foaming Bath Soak & Luxury Bath Float back in 2021. These were great sizes, nicely packaged and dupes of the brand Sanctuary Spa. For £1.79 each these were great value and also performed well in the bath. How much are they now? £2.45. Yes…£2.45!

    So inflation, cost of living, whatever you want to call it has hit EVERYTHING! Which is why it’s important to get the most of your money when it comes to the products you buy.
