Aldi’s SpecialBuys aisle is known as a treasure trove of unexpected finds – go in for your essentials and leave with an underwater fishing camera or a £29.99 Salter espresso machine.

And homeware and kitchen appliances aren’t the only areas it excels in.

The German supermarket chain is also renowned for its beauty range, Lacura. Products are often inspired by premium brands such as Pixi, Liz Earle, Clinique, Elizabeth Arden and Sisley, but are sold at the fraction of the price.
And despite the low price tag, its dupes do live up to the hype thanks to the formulas and ingredients being close copies of high-end products.
Its new skincare has dropped at the perfect time if, like us, your skin is looking and feeling dry and dull in the wake of storm Darcy. While there’s a range of new products available, from face masks to jade rollers, it’s the £6.99 face cream that’s caught our eye.
Containing black rose extract – a premium ingredient which is said to plump and brighten skin as well as ease fatigue – it sounds like the perfect antidote to the wintery weather. It’s said to be an affordable dupe for Sisley’s black rose skin infusion cream, which will set you back £146.50.
