I think the title is a give away as to what product features within this post! The Aldi Lacura Miracle Oil was kindly gifted to me to try and I’ll be honest, I’m loving it. Again, you might have seen that this is described as being a dupe for the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream all over Miracle Oil, which I’ve reviewed here, but whilst they are similar, they are different.
This oil, which is for the face, body and hand is said to have the benefits of intense hydration and moisturisation. Formulated to relieve dry and rough skin, bring new shine to dry, dull hair and deliver instant radiance, this oil claims to leave no residue behind so you can enjoy your new hydrated appearance. Quite the bold claim!
Packaged in a 50ml spray bottle to make the application much easier and straightforward, this versatile oil with its multi-tasking formula can be used as follows:
- For the face - Apply a thing layer onto clean skin and lightly massage in
- For the body - Apply the oil into your body after showering and lightly massage in
- For the hair - Apply a light mist onto damp or dry hair
From those directions there is a whole list of benefits to using this oil, which include:
- Added moisture for the skin and face
- Relief for rough and dry skin
- Relief for dry, chapped cuticles
- Added shine to dull, lifeless hair
- Can be used after shaving
- Works as a massage oil to help de-stress
At just £5.49, as opposed to £29, again this is worth picking up to try if you find it in your local Aldi store, or even online.
As mentioned, this oil does come in a spritz bottle, but when used, I always find one pump is enough to cover an entire arm, it does give a lot of product in one go. My preferred uses are for use after shaving my legs and for use as a massage oil, particularly on my back and shoulders. It does have a lightweight formula which absorbs into the skin relatively easy with massaging, plus there is also a slight floral scent which I really like. It isn’t greasy or tacky when applied either, so more bonus points for Aldi here too.
The ingredients list for both Aldi and Elizabeth Arden are similar in that they both contain Sunflower Seed Oil, Rice bran oil, Grape Seed Oil, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Ginger Root Extract plus Olive and Avocado oils to name a few, the difference however is they appear in different orders of the ingredients list. So, as with the Lacura Miracle Cream, the same could be said of this oil in that you are getting the same, but different.
The next time you find yourself in the middle aisle of Aldi and this Miracle Oil has made an appearance, it is worth trying out, the price alone makes it tempting!
