Liz Earle's version is described as the "original beauty icon", removing daily grime, pollutants and makeup to reveal smoother, clearer and brighter-looking skin". It’s enriched with cocoa butter, rosemary, chamomile and eucalyptus to cleanse, purify and moisturise skin, leaving it feeling comfortable, balanced and clean.
Aldi says its 200ml product will "leave your skin looking and feeling toned and moisturised". It is cruelty free and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.
Achieving an overall score of 4.9 stars out of 5, with 97% of reviewers saying that they would recommend to a friend, Aldi reviewers said the dupe cleanser was a: "Top skin product", with one shopper adding: " I love this product. It smells fresh and doesn’t dry out your skin". Another said: "Very good and gentle on skin. Visible difference after two cleaning".
A four-star reviewer wrote: "Great value, leaves skin clean and refreshed. Just as good as more expensive brands." But added: "Lacks any perfume."
Adding to the comments, another wrote: "Best Dupe Ever! Was purchasing a much more expensive brand but after checking the ingredients on Aldi’s version and finding them to be identical I’ve not looked back. Removes all makeup and leaves my skin feeling soft & hydrated. I love this stuff!"
