Lacura Soft Rail - Model 550312 by Sammons Preston

Product Information

The Lacura Healthy Glow definitely gives a little tingle when activating on your skin, which is exactly what I got with the Pixi one. It also leaves my skin feeling really clear and clean. Lacura Healthy Glow There’s a balancing effect we saw immediately after use, and we noticed a softness too, plus the residue left on our pad was pretty satisfying. For full transparency, we saw a bit of redness at first, but it did settle down. The brightening glow detailed in the product’s name became more obvious with extended use, and our tester appreciated a new-found tightness and brightness, which was the most obvious result. If there's one fact of life that will always remain certain, it is that Aldi is one of the best places to be when you want to nab yourself some sweet bargains. Following the news that Smashbox cosmetics will no longer be available in the UK from September, fans have been scrambling to find an alternative that performs just as well. Enter Aldi.

Which is exactly why I decided to test out the Healthy Glow Glycolic Toner which features a light 5% of glycolic acid, meaning it could be used twice daily. The lightly fresh scent is near identical to Pixi’s, although, if pushed, we’d say Lacura’s is probably slightly fainter. As Aldi dupes go, this offering has to be one of the closest in styles to its cult-classic inspiration. As our tester’s skin is sensitive, we didn’t tend to use it twice daily, instead opting for just once. Sometimes we even applied the glow tonic on alternative days, depending on how our skin was feeling. However, you could tweak your own usage depending on skin type. And as with all skincare containing acids, we’d recommend keeping topped up with SPF at it can increase sun sensitivity in general.

Another fan who was used to more expensive toners said they “normally use big named brand toner which is three times the price of this toner, this toner is fantastic”. By ensuring your skin is clear of impurities, this cruelty-free toner can help avoid breakouts and maintain a clear complexion. Toner is the step after cleansing and before moisturising, and something I never did before I found Pixi Glow Tonic. It contains glycolic acid, ginseng, witch hazel and Aloe Vera. This combo of power ingredientswas created to brighten, tones and condition your skin, as well as gradually diminishing signs of sun damage, fine lines, scarring and other imperfections. Basically miracle working! Aldi Dupes Much like the day cream, the night cream really does melt into the skin, the scent isn't too overpowering, and it never leaves a greasy sheen on the face.

After opening the bottle, we smelt a fresh, delicate scent coming from ingredients such as ginseng root extract. What we like most though, is how easily the alcohol-free tonic fits into our skincare routine. Suitable for use in the morning and at night, we unscrewed the lid and swept the liquid across our skin with a reusable make-up remover pad after cleansing. It feels instantly refreshing on skin, and while our face tingled a little afterwards, we didn’t see irritation. Lacura Moisturising Hand Cream with Oatmeal & Glycerin is a brilliant way to keep your hands in great condition at a fraction of the cost of a similar AVEENO product. One shopper who thought this low of a price point would mean the toner wasn’t any good was pleasantly surprised. They went on to say: “I was sceptical about this toning lotion but thought I would give it a try, and what an amazing toner! And that's not all the discounted chain is known for, as they have also branched out into the beauty and skincare world with the launch of their in house brand Lacura. The supermarket's own-brand features a range of luxurious beauty products that are said to be very similar to designer brands such as Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, Liz Earle and more - but without the price-tag.

Pixi Glow Tonic

Coming in a tall bottle complete with signature green Pixi label and lid, glow tonic offers liquid exfoliation, thanks to key active glycolic acid. This component makes up five per cent of the formula and is second on the ingredients list and is also joined by witch hazel and aloe vera to add gentle skincare elements. Meanwhile, glycerin is included too and is known for softening skin and holding moisture. Both primers are silica based primers with a clear gel-like texture - we compared the two in a beauty test previously, which you can find here. Aldi said: “Get your skin looking picture perfect with this Lacura Snapshot Ready Glow Primer. Whether you're using this alone or under make-up, your selfies will never be the same again.” We unscrewed the twist-off lid and dotted some liquid onto a make-up remover pad before swiping it over our face and décolleté. Our tester felt the toner to be cooling on skin, while noticing a bit of tingling too. Containing less aloe, the toner did feel a little harsher, but we think that’s to be expected. Recommended use is no more than twice daily, so, as with other acids, how often you apply it does depend on skin type. And, of course, to end any skincare regime, you need a truly luxurious moisturiser to sink into and repair your skin while you get some good hours of shut eye.
