Face Cream from Aldi seen on A Current Affair
Did anyone see the story on A Current Affair a couple of nights ago, about a survey conducted on anti ageing face creams, and the winner was a $9.95 cream from Aldi!

Well I scooted down there the very next morning and there were about 10 empty crates of what did contain the miracle serum , that i have passed when shopping in Aldi many many a time and thought for $9.95 it musn't be all that good. Well our Aldi store is all sold out bummer!

Now you can see on feebay, where they have all gone to! and they are selling for $25 - $30 a bottle, OMG !

wow ...yeah I saw that on tv it has been on before too.
I was at Alsi the day before the add come on V I knew it was going to be about that cream I was thinking of getting some but resided to wait until I get low on my old cream 1st. I'm trying to cut down on stuff like that. I have too many types.

Sounds like a good and successful advertising ploy ! Good on them

They say that most creams are much the same , I've purchased really expensive creams through Duty Free as that is the only way I'll ever afford any of them and frankly none of them stack up.

Yet the cheaper products do a great job, specially those with natural ingredients such as VitC

People have bought Aldi out it seems and put them on for auction , personally i wouldnt be bidding up to $30 for something that Aldi sells for $9.95 for their normal everyday price.  I would feel slack making people pay that too, but i guess its all in the name of business and profit, and whats in demand. I think i'll wait for my Aldi to get more stock in! I'm going to give it a go, for that price :-)

It was Aldi Lacura Anti Ageing Serum and its only $9.95 :-) (if you buy it at Aldi that is, watch out for people trying to auction them off as Aldi has sold out, but they are supposed to get more in this week)

Thanks for that.
Ages ago I bought two jars of anti aging cream from the supermarket that were not expensive and even though I don't believe any of them work like they say they do, this one left my skin lovely and soft. When I went to buy some more I was told it was discontinued.
I contacted the company at the address on the jar and they confirmed that it was discontinued and that the ones I bought were probably the last lot made. Might give this one a go. I have been using Avon which is nice.
cheers

Yeah guys...it's called Lacura and supposed to be the 'Bees Knees'in moisture cream.....well we will see....

Living in rural NSW and mega miles from big stores....I text my daughter in Toowoomba( she is coming for a visit this weekend with my two grandkids) and asked her to pop into her local Aldi store and fetch me five of the the miricale creams.

She messaged back that there was nothing left at store Aldo store no.1 and was at store no.2 fending off would be buyers of this stuff.....and wanting to know if I wanted the day or night cream or the all day moisture cream......and to be quick with my decision cause she was getting hassled by the most wrinkled faced women that she had even scene....all wanting what she had her little hands on and what she could tuck under her arm pits.......she also asked if I was sure this stuff was worth the hassle and I told her... that it must be if the scene at the store was as she described...........so hopefully I will get the five that I have asked for.......hoping that they do the job and work the miracles that they say....cause I really need it.......Lily

LOL at Lily's image of Mrs. Wrinkly accosting her daughter. 
I do remember buying a generator at Aldi, and having to fend off old men to stay in my place in the queue.  I ended up palling up wiht a guy who didn't have a trolley.  He protected me and I supplied the means for him to get his generator to his car.  Worked well.

I am a beauty therapist and all I can say is that SUNSCREEN is your best defence face cream against anti-ageing...

There are sunscreens especially for the face with moisturising properties so you will be protected against harmful uva + uvb rays. Environmental factors of every day life such as wind, pollution, sun, heat all affect the skin that can bring on ageing skin.

There are fantastic products out there for you to look after your skin on your face and body...

I personally use Cancer Council Tinted Day Wear face sunscreen :)


Edit -  I forgot to mention that if you want youngert looking skin you need to cleanse, tone & moisturise morning & night  and exfoliate once a week.

Skin cells turnover  as follows

20 yrs of age - 28 days

30 yrs of age - 30 days

40 years of age - 40 days

so, as you can see the older you get the slower the cell turnover... there is no point putting on a cream if you don't cleanse.... tone  and exfoliate... your only putting it on the skin that is about to shed and clogging your pores

I'm afraid I tossed my Cancer Council sunscreen in the bin. Applied it according to instructions and was only outside doing gardening for less then an hour and burned

That's the day and night creams from Aldi ? I use them both and they are excellent  ..
There was a story on them last year too,and I started using them then .

Aldi came out tops on all the creams they tested in that one.
I always think if it's German it's good as I'm married to one lol  
I did the same thing tho I went to the store  next day as I was shopping  anyway and they were gone  lol 
They had loads on the shelves again the next week again though.    
They also have an eye one too.. I have it, but haven't tried it..
I had a peep over yonder and saw nothing at marked up prices,  so yobbo1 you're gonna look Bootifulllll !!!  lol  
Cheers :)

 issabella10 we tried the Cancer Council spray sunscreen & found the same thing. When it finally wasn't spraying out anymore I took the top off & there was thick white goo all around the sides of bottle - the instructions should say shake before applying but don't. We now use the Banana Boat spray on 30+ sunscreen - works great, quick to apply & though a few more $, well worth it. :)

good morning all, as mentioned above the best way to care for your skin is to daily cleanse (a good quality mild soap like glycerine bars or similar), tone (witch hazel or rose water) - exfoliate once a week (make your own with sugar or salt or oats) - a weekly natural nourishing face masque is beneficial (banana, avocado, yogurt, etc.)  - it is also very important to drink plenty of water and have a balanced diet - there is no need to spend a fortune on moisturizers - the Aldi cream is good - so is  Nivea Cream, and a good sunscrean is best - A good idea is, say once a week, to apply on clean warm and moist skin a thin film of extra virgin olive oil, or almond oil, or sesame oil or grapeseed oil, leave it on for 15 min. then gently wipe it off and rinse with warm water. Regular home facials are helpful and making some of your own products is healthier, economical and great fun.

cheers!

Everyone went nuts running to Aldi this time, like they did running to Target when the Stella McCartney range was released there.

Why isn't Quicksales advertised like that, so they all come running here instead - LOL !

I, too a beauty therapist, saw this on ACA and went looking to try it out. I know one of the supervisors at my local store and they can't believe how crazy everyone has gone over a simple product they've had on their shelves all this time and after one article on ACA it has been cleared from their, and every other store in NSW's shelves! She said they should be getting it back in next Thursday. I'll be there, checking it out as much as I dislike cheap brands it's worth a shot and for $10 it's worth it.

Sunscreen is your best defence against ageing *that and selecting your parents! Any teenager out there needs a simple cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise and sunscreen routine. Stick with that and you'll be glad you did when you're 40.

Would love to hear what people who get to try it really think of it!!!

I have been selling the Cancer Council sunscreens as they are a good cause, and use them for myself and my kid. Perhaps it depends on the variety.  I like that they have an expiry date, so don't use them after that. 

I also have a tube of Lacura stuff, but not the pot.

EDIT:  I just did a search of Lacura and there was only one item.  Maybe buyers would come runnning to quicksales if we had as many as ebay selling as you say for 3 times what they are worth in the shop lol!

I bought this this week - 2nd last bottle there. I find it feels beautiful on the skin. People need to remember it is a serum not a moisturiser so it should be used under moisturiser. The bottle says it can be used on it's own but I have oily skin and used it before bed. By the morning I was feeling a bit dry so imagine how dry skin people would feel!

Maybe I should have bought that last bottle and sold it on feebay!
