The Cien Q10 absorbed a little more quickly into the skin than the Magic Cream, but both applied nicely and left the writer’s face feeling hydrated and smooth. For the first few days of using the Lidl cream, the writer’s skin looked and felt great. It was nice and soft and had a natural ‘dewy glow’ to it that many aspire to.
However, by the end of the week, things weren’t quite so rosy as the writer came to realize that the cream just wasn’t right for their skin type. The writer has quite sensitive, oily skin, and the Cien Q10 wasn’t helping with this. The dewy glow quickly turned into an oily mess, which in turn caused breakouts on the forehead.
Despite this, the writer still recommends the product. The Lidl dupe is an impressive replacement for the cult-favorite beauty item, and for someone with normal or dry skin types, it would probably work really well and be an absolute steal. Other shoppers have claimed that the cheap cream did the “same job” as the more expensive products and said their “skin loved it.” If you’re a massive fan of Charlotte Tilbury products and don’t get too much of a shiny face throughout the day, the writer recommends giving it a try at only £1.49.
