ALDI is making a real name for itself when it comes to beauty.
The budget supermarket‘s Lacura range has been compared to some of the big name – and big price – skincare brands.

The balm recently won a top beauty prize
And often, its viral lines fly off the shelves when they come back in stock.
Now hot off winning gold for ‘Best New Cleanser’ at the Pure Beauty Awards 2025, Aldi’s cult-favourite Lacura Cleansing Balms are making a highly anticipated return to stores.
These award-winning, cruelty-free balms offer a staggering 88 per cent saving compared to the Elemis alternative.
And the team reckons this proves proving luxury skincare doesn’t need a luxury price tag.
Crafted with nourishing ingredients like Moringa Oil and Shea Butter, the Cleansing Balms have become firm favourites with shoppers and beauty experts alike.
The brand’s iconic original balm scooped the recent top prize. Meanwhile, it’s also available in a rose option, enriched with Rosehip and Sweet Almond Oil.
At £5.99, these dermatologically tested must-haves provide a lightweight remover that gently lifts dirt and make-up.
And the best bit is they’re an 88 per cent saving to Elemis’ pricier £52 alternatives.
The savvy savings continue with the comeback of Lacura’s Moisture Boost Face Cream and Eye Cream – priced at £3.99 each.
The face version is a lightweight moisturiser formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, Green Tea and Aloe Vera to hydrate and plump the skin, smooth the appearance of fine lines and leave a radiant glow.
The Aldi versions are a massive saving on big name brands
Meanwhile, the eye cream is enriched with caffeine and antioxidants to replenish moisture around the delicate eye area and help reduce the appearance of crow’s feet.
And these also provide big savings on Clinique’s pricier versions with their moisture surge hydrator face cream priced at £42 and their eye cream at £35.
All the Lacura staples are back in the middle aisle from May 10.
