Young mum praises 85p miracle body wash from Aldi for helping her son's eczema

Those with sensitive skin will know all too well the struggle of finding a decent product that doesn't cost a fortune. But it turns out the solution may have been hidden in Aldi this whole time.

Shoppers of the popular supermarket are raving about Aldi's Lacura Body Wash and Foam Bath as a great antidote to eczema. But the best part? It costs less than £1.

Fans have taken to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group to praise the product after one impressed mum shared a photo of the Aldi bath foam and body wash.

Sharing her find with fellow parents, Hannah Hall said "For anyone whose children who have sensitive skin. My little boy has really sensitive skin/ezema. He used to use oilatum which was £5 plus and this still stuff is just as good plus lasts him a while".

The product in question is Aldi's Lacura Body Wash and Foam Bath, which costs just 85p a bottle - a stark contrast to Oilatum's current £8 price tag on Amazon.

While she doesn't go into detail about her son's skin, the post has since racked up over 1,000 likes and comments.

Another mum named Emma Llewellyn agreed with the post, adding "All my kids have sensitive skin as well as me and I have been using this for 2 years and never had any breakouts since using this it's brilliant."

Meanwhile Karla Mae also compared Aldi's bottle to Oilatum, saying "Hannah my boy is the same. We always bought oliatum the full range. I accidentally ran a bath for my other son and put the Aldi bath stuff in. My eldest boy went in and I was panicking because his skin can be so sore with other products. Wow I have never seen his skin so good and now he smells amazing and doesn't look greasy haha amazing stuff".

The discount supermarket states that the wash is dermatologically tested and cleans without drying your skin, helping to improve the skin's protective barrier and to restore and maintain the skin’s natural PH, which can be especially handy, considering an estimated 15 million of us suffer from eczema , according to the office for National Statistics.
