Who doesn't love the middle aisle in Aldi? On many occasions I have gone in to pick up specific items, usually Gin, only to leave with a whole lot more. Known for their dupes of skincare, makeup and candles, the Aldi Lacura range is really good value for money and over time, I have managed to pick up some brilliant products, namely these Glycolic Cleansing Pads which give another brand a real run for their money. New to my collection has been the new Lacura Hemp Range which I am sharing with you today.
The new Lacura range includes a CBD Facial Soothing Concentrate Serum (£4.99), a Hemp Body Butter (£4.99) and a Hemp Hand Cream (£1.49) and ive been using them since they arrived a while back and I have to say, I really like them, especially the Body Butter. CBD is seemingly the ingredient every brand wants in their skincare and it is being featured in a lot of products right now and it is said to help reduce inflammation, calm redness, moisturise and increase hydration.
The first product I added to my routine was the CBD Facial Serum. It comes packaged inside a really luxe green glass bottle with a pipette dispenser - which at £4.99 is incredibly impressive to have. The serum is a clear see through liquid and texture wise, it is quite runny, so with a pipette dispenser, it is much easier to apply. Without being greasy on application, what I really like is how smooth to the touch my skin is after using it.
Said to be perfect for all skin types, this serum contains 99% natural ingredients which blows my mind! Two of those ingredients you need to know about are of course cannabis sativa seed oil but also oregano oil. Together, these two oils are said to target inflammation and increase hydration all while providing anti-oxidants.
The Body Butter, which I absolutely loved from the first use, is everything you need in a body butter. It is thick, it is luxurious and there is no greasy film left after using.
Again, as with the serum, this butter also features Cannabis Sativa Oil, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter and Soyabean Oil, so with those as ingredients you can just imagine how divine a product this is. As I have been suffering with an ankle injury for a few years now, I have to wear a support a lot of the time, so my skin on my lower leg and foot is always feeling dry. So I started to use this body butter, slathering it on, after showering to my legs and it is just divine to use. Not only does it melt onto the skin with little effort, it also has helped with a lot of the dry skin where the support bandage sits.
The final product is the Lacura Hemp Hand Cream and right now, given the amount of times I am washing my hands and sanitizing them, I am rapidly making my way through my hand cream stash.
Enriched with Hemp Seed and Sunflower Oil, this hand cream is said to help nourish dry, rough and chapped hands. The formula of this cream is quite thick, so you only need a really small amount to massage into your hands. When you do use it, again there is no greasy film left behind, it does begin to absorb as it comes into contact with your skins temperature and there is a slight earthy scent to it, which I really like.
As a collection, you have probably guessed I am really impressed with it. Aldi skincare all features the leaping bunny, so it is cruelty free. The next time you are in your local Aldi, this is a collection worth looking out for, especially if you are unsure about CBD in skincare, or you want to give something a try without sending more than you need too. Plus, you can also buy it online right here.
