Asda shoppers 'swear by' £1 hayfever product amid Edinburgh pollen bomb

Asda customers have been quick to praise a hay fever relief product after one shopper shared details of it online.

The supermarket chain now stocks Nuage Barrier Balm, which works by trapping pollen and stopping it from entering the nose.

It costs £1 at Asda, and is suitable for both adults and children who are suffering from allergies.

According to the Met Office, there will be "high" levels of pollen in Edinburgh over the coming days, and so those with hay fever should prepare themselves.

The product description on the Asda website states: "Nuagé Barrier Balm creates a physical barrier reducing pollen, allergens and dust entering the nose. Nuagé Barrier Balm is drug free."

One curious Asda customer who spotted the balm took to Facebook to share the news with fellow hay fever sufferers.

Writing in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, they stated: "£1 in Asda, probably the same as vaseline, not sure how good it is but at this point I'm willing to try anything!"

Since being shared, the post has amassed more than 500 likes and almost 2,000 comments from other shoppers.

One revealed: "I always use this. So good. Has a few extra things in it than Vaseline. Can also get in Poundland and home bargains."

A second shared: "I use this it's really good. Also if people don't know try taking your hayfever tablet before u go to bed and then using a nasel spray in the morning."

"I’ve started using this, works well for me! the wipes are also good," agreed a third.

A fourth posted: "They do face wipes, and an eye mist spray too.... heaven if it's been in the fridge and you spray it over your eyes."

A fifth echoed: "This stuff is really good! My partner has really bad hay fever and hates taking the tablets but he will use this and the wipes and when he uses them you can tell a difference! Defo a bargain for price."

"I swear by this it works wonders for me and the grandsons," shared a sixth, while a seventh commented: "Can highly recommend this it’s brilliant".

Another said: "It's flying off the shelf, full one night come back the next and it's empty. So get it when you see it cus it won't be there next time you go."
