Lacura Cleansing Exfoliating Scrub
Aldi has a small selection of Regular Buy personal care products sold under its Lacura brand. They include sunscreen, razors, and day and night cream.
We saw two new face care products in 2020 at Aldi: Lacura Cleansing Exfoliating Scrub and Lacura Foaming Gel Cleanser. Like the original facial cleanser, these are Regular Buys that are in the store all year.
Here, we’re taking a closer look at the cleansing exfoliating scrub.
Several members of my family used this for a while to see how we liked it. I thought it was decent, but one family member who has more sensitive skin found it to be overly drying. As a result, after I used up this container, I’ve moved to purchasing different brands at a regular grocery store that don’t have a drying effect on skin.
This scrub is $2.79 for a 7-ounce stand-up tube dispenser in 2020 (about 40 cents per ounce). It says it compares to Johnson & Johnson’s Clean & Clear Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub, which at the time of publication cost $4.97 for a 5-oz. container or $9.64 for a 2-pack from Walmart (about 99 cents per ounce and 96 cents per ounce, respectively).
The Aldi scrub claims to be oil free, soap free, paraben free, and good for all skin types. It was made in Germany and is dermatologically tested and was not tested on animals. It contains allantoin and white lily extract, with exfoliating particles made from mild jojoba pearls.
It can be used in the morning and evening. To use it, wet your face and gently massage the scrub onto the face using small circular motions, then rinse. Avoid direct contact with eyes, and if eye contact occurs rinse thoroughly with water. The container recommends following up with Lacura Q10 Day Cream or Night Cream.
This has a nice, not-overpowering scent, and it has a cooling effect on the skin. The small exfoliating particles give your skin a good scrub, which makes this cleanser different from what Aldi has offered in the past.
The Verdict:
Aldi’s Lacura facial scrub costs significantly less than its name-brand counterpart. It has a pleasant, mild scent. Be aware that if your skin is on the sensitive side, this may have a drying effect.
Just bought the cleansing LACURA exfoliating scrub and absolutely love it. I Use all the products but this one was new that I just saw absolutely a great find thank you
Totally agree. I used the old cleanser for 8 years and loved it. Gave up Mary Kay I loved it so much. The new is awful. I feel my face swiveling up it’s so drying. 😩😩😩
I have sensitive skin and love this product. At 51 it is difficult to find affordable products that work like the expensive brands this does. However it is never in stock, because a lot of people have discovered it now.
