GLOW Recipe fans, assemble.
Budget supermarket Aldi has revealed it is launching two brand new Lacura Watermelon Serums that are dupes for the cult K-beauty brands Watermelon Glow drops.

Glow Recipe has two renditions of its beloved watermelon serum – the ‘dew’ and ‘hue’, the latter of which has a bronzing effect.
But at £32 for a 40ml bottle, they’re not a product most Brits are picking up too regularly amid the cost of living crisis.
Aldi’s copycats are priced at a cool £4.99 for 55ml of product – which is 84% less than Glow Recipe.
The skincare dupes will be launching in stores on June 5.
“The serums tap into the latest skincare trend: butter skin,” Aldi bosses said.
“Blending the glow of K-beauty with barrier-boosting hydration, butter skin is all about a plump, smooth finish that catches the light – without the shine.
“Aldi’s Watermelon Serums are formulated to deliver just that.
“Shoppers can choose from ‘brightening’ for a dewy, radiant finish or ‘bronzing’ for a subtle sun-kissed glow.”
Both serums are infused with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, like the original Glow Recipe formulas, to hydrate, brighten and smooth.
Aldi bosses assured that the latest addition to its beauty line will leave “skin glowing and nourished – without the luxury price tag”.
Also landing on shelves this summer is the BHA Clearing Cleanser, which costs £1.99.
This is a gentle, blemish-targeting cleanser designed to remove excess oil and impurities, while refreshing and calming the skin.
That’s not all.
Making a comeback after hitting the headlines last year is the Lacura 2% BHA Toner, which is a Paula’s Choice dupe and costs £4.49.
The toner will exfoliate skin for a smooth and luminous complexion, while its BHA ingredient offers anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce the appearance of breakouts and blackheads.
What exactly IS K-beauty?
K-Beauty describes skincare products created with a Korean beauty philosophy in mind, according to Healthline.
A standard Korean skincare routine focuses on prevention and protection to keep the natural complexion thriving.
The number of steps in daily beauty routines can vary but 10 is the most common.
From cleansers, toners, and serums, to moisturizers, K-beauty avoids the use of harsh ingredients that can damage the skin.
Glass skin is commonly used in Korean beauty to describe an appearance that’s “smooth, clear, and intensely hydrated.”
