I think it’s safe to say that the cost of living right now is hitting most people hard! Ordinary items that at one point were affordable are less so. One area I’ve tried to cut back on is skincare. I LOVE skincare and I enjoy looking after my face, but my credit card doesn’t like to pay for it. So it’s a good job I’ve always been open to cheaper alternatives to get the same skincare jobs done but at a lower price point. I recently bought Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Face Wash for 99p for 150ml.
Why did I buy this?
I bought this because we ran out of cleanser. I say WE as in a cleanser for myself and my children. They have a routine of washing their faces in the morning and evening. The problem now is when it comes to this product as soon as I buy it it’s time to replace it. So I thought I would give this a go because the Lacura range is actually decent quality. This cleanser is fragrance and soap free and ideal for sensitive skin. I like this especially for my children and of course I loved the price!
What is this supposed to do?
Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Face Wash is designed to gently clean the skin without irritating or stripping it. No fragrance, no soap and no colour means this is supposed to be ideal for sensitive skin but still be an effective cleanser.
Packaging
150m of face wash comes in a standard, flip topped/bottomed plastic tube. Very basic in design and look. But with the colouring being white and green it reminds me of the brand Simple. So this possibly could be a dupe for their Moisturising Face Wash.
Fragrance & Look
No fragrance as this is fragrance free. And no colour as it’s colour free. But it does have the typical facial wash texture to it. Liquid but glossy and almost a pearlescent white colour.
In use
I didn’t need to use too much of this. A blob rubbed into my wet face lathered up well. The lack of fragrance wasn’t distracting and the wash itself was easy to rinse off. It removed the general dirt, grime, eyebrow pencil and sunscreen in the evening effectively, and cleaned my skin well in the morning. I didn’t feel as if it stripped my skin of it’s natural oils but I didn’t feel it was moisturising enough for me.
I’ve found I enjoy using cleansers more and more these days. This particular one not so much. There’s a feeling of using it because it serves a purpose rather than giving me enjoyment in my skincare routine.
Recommended?
If you are someone who want an affordable facial wash that doesn’t have fragrance or colour, this will do the job! No real issues with your skin and just need it clean, this will do it and will also be a decent product for younger people in the family as well. My daughter uses this with no problem and her skin is normal to oily in some areas. So this could actually be the product the whole family can use. For 99p, Aldi’s Lacura Moisturising Facial Wash is ideal for those on a low budget or simply don’t want to spend too much on skincare.
