When you have dry, sensitive skin or a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, you’ll try all manner of pricey potions to soothe the pain.
What if a cheap body wash from Aldi could lend a hand?
For 85p, we reckon it’s worth a go.
A mum has headed to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group to share her discovery, saying that Aldi’s 85p Lacura Body Wash and Foam Bath works wonders for her son’s eczema.
She wrote: ‘For anyone whose children have sensitive skin. Under 1£ ( think 85p) at Aldi my little boy has really sensitive skin/ezema. He used to use oilatum which was 5£ plus and this still stuff is just as good plus lasts him a while.’
It looks like she’s not the only one who’s seen positive results.
Another mum commented: ‘All my kids have sensitive skin as well as me and I have been using this for 2 years and never had any breakouts since using this it’s brilliant.’
While another said: ‘I use this for my 2 and I have to say my boy who has sensitive skin has really smooth skin and always use it now.’
The product itself is pretty much your bog-standard sensitive cleanser, made without artificial scents and allergens that can irritate the skin.
The wash is also designed to be cleansing without drying, and Aldi says it ‘helps to improve the skin’s protection barrier and maintain the skin’s natural PH.’
There are loads of similar products out there – look for anything designed for sensitive skin that’s moisturising, not drying – but the 85p price tag of Aldi’s makes it a tempting option.
The reviews online are pretty positive, too, describing the product as ‘better than Sanex’.
A happy customer wrote: ‘Perfect for my children. I find this is just right for sensitive skin.
‘Forget Sanex this is a fantastic dupe, very similar to the leading brand but smells lovely, moisturises the skin well & my youngest hasn’t had red blotches since using this.’
So if you have sensitive skin, like Sanex or similar products, but want to save a bit of cash, head to Aldi or order online. Even if it doesn’t work for you, you’re only out 85p.
