There are obvious signs of irritation on my cheek area, and then as you can see, the spots on the top right of my forehead show some inflammation; these blemishes show up immediately after the product makes contact with my skin,. As with all fragrance ingredients, citronellol can also cause allergic contact dermatitis and should be avoided if you have perfume allergy. The other Aldi ones I’ve previously had have been so good for removing heavy makeup, super creamy, don’t dry out my skin and come with a white muslin cloth.

This Pixi glow tonic dupe shares glycolic acid and aloe vera ingredients in common with the original and we can see a close similarity between the two bottles too. Im not sure how permanent this product is in Aldi so if you can get your hands on the oil, I’d deffo recommend trying it. However, when the product glided over my skin, I could feel a little bit of a more jelly like texture to the product. This component makes up five per cent of the formula and is second on the ingredients list and is also joined by witch hazel and aloe vera to add gentle skincare elements.

Their beauty game has been seriously upped in the last couple years, with more dupes and beauty essentials being added and the quality is actually really good.

Just apply directly to your dry face, rub in circular motions with your fingertips all over and then remove by using a damp muslin cloth. There’s a balancing effect we saw immediately after use, and we noticed a softness too, plus the residue left on our pad was pretty satisfying. I popped in recently and couldn’t resist picking up what was obviously their dupe of Pixi Rose Toner; Lacura Healthy Glow.

I’ve also had allergic reactions to Garnier in the past but this one has been fine with it being for sensitive skin. Pixi’s glow tonic delivers skin balancing and softening, and we can see why it’s earned that cult-classic status. I was once again browsing the beloved middle aisle with a fine-toothed comb to see what bargains and dupes I could sniff out; it was there that I saw this absolutely blatant dupe for the Pixi Rose Tonic – the Lacura Healthy Glow Rose Toner! It is more of the raditional powdery Rose scent, so if you're not the biggest fan of that then you may not want to be putting this on your face that often.
