Aldi fans are racing to get their hands on £2.99 ‘magic cream’ that they claim helps ‘prevent stretch marks’
MOST of us will have heard our friends moaning about their stretch marks or ‘tiger stripes’.
And despite the fact we should be proud of them, we’ve all considered how to make them less noticeable.
Thankfully, Aldi has thought about it too, and launched a brand new ‘magic cream’ that promises to soothe your 'warrior marks'.
As part of their brand new Mum To Be range, the discount retailer has released a range of self-care products, including the £2.99 Stretch Mark Soother Cream.
The range also includes a Stretch Mark Soother Oil, £3.99, a Step Ahead Nipple Balm, £3.99 and a Magic Bump Mask, just £2.99.
According to the Aldi website, the ‘magic cream’ has been developed with doctors, and is designed to “keep skin soft and supple.”
It states: “Nourishing and soothing cream. Dermatologically tested. Vegan friendly.”
All three products are available in store from Thursday, January 12, but can be pre-ordered online now.
In a post announcing the news in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook, Aldi fans shared their excitement about the upcoming range.
One wrote: "Bit of a post-baby treat."

Another said: "It’s a dupe for Midwife Expert which is expensive."
Others are calling it a dupe for the pricey Mama Mio Anti-Stretch Mark Tummy Rub Butter, which sells for £24 a pot.
On the NHS website, it states: “Stretch marks are often caused by sudden growth or weight gain.
“You may be more likely to get them if you are pregnant, are going through puberty, lose or gain weight quickly, are female, are overweight, use some kinds of steroid creams or tablets, [or] have a family member with stretch marks.
“Stretch marks usually fade over time but may not disappear completely.
“Many creams and lotions claim to prevent, reduce or remove stretch marks. But there's very little evidence these work.
“There are some treatments that may help make stretch marks look better, but they will not get rid of them."
