You can mix Lacura facial oil with moisturiser or apply a standalone moisturiser first (which I do) and pat two drops – no more, on top to ‘seal it in’ and help prevent moisture loss, it’s light but still potent. My sensitive skin hasn’t experienced any breakouts with this oil which can happen with botanicals. Give it ten minutes to ‘dry’ before applying sunscreen on top.

I was worried that oil would feel greasy and gross, but it’s not at all. It also smells properly lush.

Lacura Miracle Cream Skin Protection – Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Dupe

I don’t talk a lot about this, but I get bad Psariosis and have PCOS, which means I wax a lot – so my skin gets sore, cut and dried out. Beauty experts, editors, bloggers etc are obsessed with Aldi skincare. A tiny fraction of the cost of the creams that it’s copying, the skincare looks the same, works the same – but also has the same important ingredients. Everything is vegan too. I can’t believe how amazing this product is. I’ve had eczema for 30 Years on my hands and it gone, thanks to this product. My brother’s hands are the same and he’s raving about it too! I have been using the Lacura Miracle Cream for a few months now and was actually starting to panic when I was getting low because you don’t see it in-store all the time. After suffering for years with sensitive skin unable to have eyebrows done through sensitivity, ashamed to wear a vest top because underarms have spots and abscess. I saw miracle cream when shopping used that night and within 24 hours my underarms were nearly clear, I use the night before I want to shave and exfoliate after shaving then use miracle cream again and talcum powder. I was told to shave at night so you don’t have to use perfumed products that can irritate, also at night your not perspiring as much so your skin can heal. I have done this for 2 weeks and it’s made such a difference, also a tip cut cucumber and rub underarm or lemon and it takes away the darkness. I can’t wait now to be able to wear a vest top and not cover up, I worked with Arden 8 hour and this is more price effective and worked better for me. xx

It wasn’t until my 30’s did I start using night cream properly, and this is the best product! If I use this, my face isn’t all dried up in the morning, and after about a month of using it, my skin felt A LOT smoother and softer. How refreshing it is to recommend a very reasonably priced skincare product that’s equally as effective as the product it was ‘inspired’ by. Aldi is clearly inspired by La Prairie’s jar, with the Lacura Caviar Illumination day cream being in a glass silver pot with blue accents. I still love the PIXI Rose Oil Blend, it’s an excellent product as is the iconic PIXI Glow Tonic, even Lacura couldn’t come up with a viable alternative to that, I know this because I tried their version and there’s no comparison. As far as price goes (at Aldi) these products can’t be beaten. The creams come in a glass jar with a classy looking top and boxed. They would be an ideal inexpensive, but expensive-looking present for someone.

I have been using the day and night creams for 5 weeks now. The smell of both the Day and Night Cream is pleasant. However, I can’t honestly say they have reduced my fine lines at this point in time and have no raised expectations.

Some people do find that if they have sensitive skin, the Caviar Illumination Day Cream can irritate them. Wow , the results are amazing. A cream that was non-greasy, was well absorbed and kept my skin nice and hydrated. An added bonus is the smell. Some women are complaining about it but I find it lovely!’
