About this deal

Meanwhile shoppers have been impressed, saying the glowy product has seen them receive ‘so many compliments’. A second shopper said: "I have used more expensive ones and the ingredients are the same as this but at a fraction of the price. I have bought a few once on sale as well."

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. The cruelty free 'brightening toner'includes willow bark and turmeric extracts that are said to cleanse and nourish your skin. It works to remove the 'grime and dirt' and is suitable for sensitive skin. Maija added: “Obsessed with this highlighter. Have had so many compliments since I started using it. It lasts really well and definitely makes your face glow! It’s just as good as the benefit one just without the price tag!” Aldi is becoming known for their dupes of market faves; From food and drink products like Topaz Blue Gin and suspiciously familiar chocolate bars, to Jo Malone candles and now a whole host of beauty products. I’ve already had my eye on their copies of Nars blush, La Prairie Concealer and Foundation and Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (the dupe name will never be as good as that though, let’s be honest). 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.

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.

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! Aldi said: “Add to your makeup collection with this Lacura Highlighter. Achieve your chosen look with this delicate and sweet highlighter. Define, pop and contour your way to looking your absolute best.” Unlike a few toners that contain an AHA, this toner doesn't leave any redness on my skin and didn't cause any sensitivity, which I was absolutely grateful for.

One reviewer who compared the two said “I always use this product. There is a famous make, Pixi, which I used one on one side and Lacura on the other. I have been using it for a week now and can tell that my face is glowing. It’s the best glycolic toner on the market I can guarantee you!”. 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”.

Lacura Healthy glow retinol toner (£2.99) vs Pixi's retinol tonic (£18)

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. For me, the absolute winner of this face wash, was the fact that it was perfume and soap free, which was perfect for someone like me. My skin didn't feel as tight afterwards and was actually pretty soft.

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 toner helps to remove impurities and brighten skin tone with a glycolic acid enriched formula that softens and smooths skin. The gentle formulation is suitable for all skin types. This toner cleanses and nourishes the skin by deep cleaning the pores and removing all traces of dirt and grime.

How we tested

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. Margaret martin said: “Just as good as Liz Earle which I have been using for years on my very sensitive skin at a fraction of the cost.” More intensive skincare routines are on the rise, with one in five of us increasing the time we spend each day layering on products, per a recent survey. As such, it’s no surprise that 76% of people who bought cleansers, toners and serums last year said that price remains a key factor, when they choose which item to buy. Every Aldi dupe featured on this list has seriously wowed us. The supermarket’s own brand products are affordable and effective, making them no-brainer investments. Our very favourite dupes include the By ensuring your skin is clear of impurities, this cruelty-free toner can help avoid breakouts and maintain a clear complexion.

Aldi said: “Great for all skin types this amazing Lacura Original Hot Cloth Cleanser is sure to give you naturally healthy looking skin. Add this dermatologically tested cleanser into your beauty regime and you'll be amazed at how great your skin starts to feel and look.” Now, I know what you are all thinking, didn't I just review a facial cleanser. That I did, but I am a big believer in the 'double cleanse' routine, especially in the evenings when I need to take off all my make-up, which is where this face wash came in handy. 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.

My Review

It's why budget supermarket Aldi is following in the footsteps of ingredient-led yet inexpensive brands like The Ordinary, Inkey List and Beauty Pie and is launching a brand-new premium skincare range that promises beauty lovers high-quality ingredients without the hefty price tag. These are being sold under the shop's 'Lacura' range. Lacura Healthy Glow Glycolic Toner: Aldi’s beauty dupes are not to be slept on. Boasting similar ingredients and results to the PIXI Glow Tonic, this skincare hero is our favourite Lacura goodie. 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. One said: “Fantastic product, I have used Elemis pro collagen marine cream since it came onto the market and nothing was as good until I started using this.”
