We all love a bargain when it comes to skincare.

Whether it's the best face cream, a popular serum or a cheap perfume like a coveted Chanel No 5 dupe, which is why we're so excited to see a new launch from Aldi—skincare that is a complete dupe of more expensive brands.

Aldi is well known for bringing their A-game when it comes to skincare products—from the LED light mask to the Ebony Rose range and Vegan collection. 

So the new products, including an overnight mask, brightening serums and lip care, which have been added to Aldi's Lacura range, don't disappoint. And all of the products are priced under £5. 

The new products, designed to help get you that summer glow and inspired by the Korean beauty trend, start at £1.99, with the serums and masks still not even breaking the bank at £4.99. 

However, the range looks similar to other more luxury brands, which all have a bigger price tag. Lacura's Pineapple Face Serum, which has pineapple extract, vitamin C and turmeric extract, is the spitting image of Glow Recipe's C-Bright Pineapple serum, but priced £40 cheaper.

Infused with pineapple extract, this bargain serum promises to balance skin tone and add radiance.  

While the brands Avocado Bright Eyes Overnight Retinol Mask is the dupe of another one of Glow Recipe's skincare products—and this time you'll make a saving of £18 if you opt for the Lacura version.

Tap the cream under the eyes after cleansing and allow the brightening formula work while you sleep.

The new products also include a H20 overnight mask, which is almost the exact replica of Laneige's water sleep mask—which costs £26—£21 more expensive than the Aldi version. 

Furthermore, you'll make a saving of £110 if you opt for the whole Aldi range, instead of the pricier versions. The dupes from Aldi are available to preorder online from today and will be in store on the 9th May.

Lacura also recently launched two new shampoo and conditioner ranges—Professional Oil Complex and their Professional Mineral Clay Shampoo and Conditioner - both of which start at 85p. The range is also endorsed by celebrity hairstylist Sophie Sugarman, who has worked with the likes of Laura Whitmore and singer Jessie Ware.
