REVIEW: Lacura Skin Science - Caviar Power - Serum Concentrate

Where to buy: ALDI
Price: $29.99
ML: 50ML
Recommended age groups: 45+
Made in: Germany from local and imported ingredients 

Description: Cell renewal & regenerate.
 A concentrated formula that also includes anti-ageing ceramides to help combat moisture loss. 
Intensive moisturiser that provides long lasting lifting and firming effect. 
Each unique black gel-like pearl contains a concentrated formula that also includes anti-ageing ceramides to help combat moisture loss.



My personal opinion:
This serum is aimed for more mature skin, but I got crappy skin already and I loved the look of the product so I brought it for $19.99 (it was on sale). And this is the first time I saw the product in my local Aldi, so I had to get it. It smells very flowery when it gets pumped out, but the scent disappears very quickly. I gave this product to my mum because it's aimed towards her age more - and she likes it which is surprising because she normally does not like trying new products (she has sensitive skin).

Pros - based on what my mum's opinion: 
❥ Moisturising
❥ Absorbs fast 
❥ Firming effect


Cons - based on my mum's opinion:
✖  Price is a bit on the high side for an Aldi product - especially when you don't know if it's going to be good or not.
✖ It says to use Serum first then followed with the Caviar Power Day or Night Cream, which we don't have it in our local Aldi, which is a shame. 
✖ Night Cream from Aldi can do just as well as the Serum (cheaper too)

Mum's verdict:
6/10

My personal opinion:
I like this cream a lot, like come on, it's anti - ageing + sunscreen + non greasy = win for me. 
I don't like greasy sun screen since I can feel my pores clogging and with my combination skin + acne prone skin is a big no no.

Pros: 
❥ Moisturising
❥ Smells flowery - not overbearing
❥ Non - greasy
❥ Absorbs fast - and easy to rub into skin, unlike most sunscreen
❥ Ideal as a make up base (it even says that on the back of the tube)

Cons:
✖  SPF 15 doesn't protect much. 



My verdict:
9/10

REVIEW: Lacura Essentials - Daily Face SPF 15 (Sensitive Skin Q10)

Where to buy: ALDI
Price: $3.99
ML: 75ML
Recommended age groups: N/A

Description: Lacura Daily face SPF 15 with Q10 for sensitive skin is a light and gentle formulation with no fragrance added.

The addition of SPF 15 helps protect skin against premature ageing. It is quickly absorbed, leaving skin smooth and hydrated.


My personal opinion:
I like it because of the non-greasy texture, but I wouldn't say that I love it. But yes, it absorbs fast, it contains SPF 15, which might not be that great for people that enjoys going out under the sun a lot. 
Sorry for the ugly looking picture, it's because I put it in my handbag, so please excuse the scratches - I use it has a hand cream instead.

Pros: 
❥ Fragrance free
❥ Non - greasy
❥ Absorbs fast
❥ Moisturising
❥ Ideal as a make up base (it even says that on the back of the tube).

Cons:
✖  I wish the SPF is a bit higher - but what you pay is what you get.



My verdict:
7/10
