Aldi’s anti-ageing skincare costs £220 less than its rival… but is it REALLY as good? The answer will surprise you, says skincare expert
The Lacura Vitacell range starts at £4.99, with an anti-ageing moisturiser just £6.99
MANY women aren't interested in having cosmetic surgery, but that doesn't mean they're totally happy with the ageing process.
That's where anti-ageing skincare comes in, but the problem is the products can be pricey.
Budget supermarket Aldi has once again stepped up with its , which launches in store and online today.
There's a moisturiser, eye cream and serum, and even better prices start at £4.99. So for less than a fiver you can nab the eye cream, or if you're feeling like a big spender splash out £6.99 on the other two products.
The range is being touted as touted as an alternative for the MUCH more expensive La Prairie Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal range.
La Prairie has a much longer ingredients list, and it was pointed out that it does have more things to target anti-ageing.
But a lot of each brand's makeup is actually very similar.
Georgios said: "Both creams contain emollients to moisturise the skin, functional actives for an immediate softness/plumping, and anti-ageing ingredients for long term results.
"La Prairie comes on top in the last two categories, but not by a huge margin."
And so to the million dollar question - are the two creams really that similar?
The expert said: "La Prairie is clearly a better cream, but the type of ingredients used in the concentrations used do not nearly justify the price.
"Buying this product is equivalent to buying a £10,000 Gucci bag: it's great, but you do not pay £10k for a good bag, you buy into the branding. Nothing wrong with that of course...
"I would say that overall La Prairie is clearly better, but definitely not [over] 30 times better."
The Sun Online has reached out to La Prairie for comment.
If you opt for the Aldi cream it'll leave you some cash to splash out on makeup, with sales set to soar in 2017.
