And if that wasn’t enough, parents will be thrilled to know that this skincare buy is suitable for sensitive skin and is even safe for those who may be prone to eczema.
It comes after one savvy shopper spotted the discounted find in her local Asda store in Barry, Wales.
Thrilled with her bargain spot, Cerys Board took to social media to alert others, leaving many totally stunned.
Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 790,500 members, Cerys uploaded a snap of the cheap buy – the Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser.

Placed next to Oral-B toothbrush heads and hair dye, Cerys recognised:
“Saw this in Asda yesterday! Bargain.”
The 50ml bottle of the mildly fragranced and dermatologist approved moisturiser was once priced at £2, but has since been slashed down to just 40p.
So if you fancy saving £1.60 per bottle, you’ll need to move fast.
Meanwhile, a 200ml tube of the stuff will cost you £5.50 from Boots.
As a result, Cerys said: “If you buy four, you’re saving nearly £4 compared to the 200ml tube.”
The Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser is clinically proven to be kind and mild, whilst supporting the skin barrier.
The oil-free formula absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling moisturised for up to 24 hours.
How to save at Asda
Shop the budget range
Savvy shopper Eilish Stout-Cairns recommends that shoppers grab items from Asda’s Just Essentials range.
She said: “Asda’s budget range is easy to spot as it’s bright yellow! Keep your eyes peeled for yellow and you’ll find their Just Essentials range.
“It’s great value and I’ve found it has a much wider selection of budget items compared to other supermarkets.
Sign up to Asda Rewards
The savvy-saver also presses on the importance of signing up to Asda’s reward scheme.
She said: “Asda Rewards is free to join and if you shop at Asda you should absolutely sign up.
“As an Asda Rewards member, you’ll get exclusive discounts and offers, and you’ll also be able to earn 10% cashback on Star Products.
“This will go straight into your cashpot, and once you’ve earned at least £1, you can transfer the money in your cashpot into ASDA vouchers.
We’ve previously rounded up the best supermarket loyalty schemes – including the ones that will save you the most money.
Look out for booze deals
Eilish always suggests that shoppers looking to buy booze look out for bargain deals.
She said: “Asda often has an alcohol offer on: buy six bottles and save 25%.
“The offer includes selected bottles with red, white and rose options, as well as prosecco. There are usually lots of popular bottles included, for example, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot, Oyster Bay Hawkes Bay Merlot and Freixenet Prosecco D.O.C.
“Obviously, the more expensive the bottles you choose, the more you save.”
Join Facebook groups
The savvy saver also recommends that fans of Asda join Facebook groups to keep in the know about the latest bargains in-store.
Eilish said: “I recommend joining the Latest Deals Facebook Group to find out about the latest deals and new launches in store.
“Every day, more than 250,000 deal hunters share their latest bargain finds and new releases.
“For example, recently a member shared a picture of Asda’s new Barbie range spotted in store.
“Another member shared the bargain outdoor plants she picked up, including roses for 47p, blackcurrant bushes for 14p and topiary trees for 14p.”
It is enriched with skin-soothing aloe vera and cucumber, as well as a nourishing blend of cocoa and shea butter.
So it’s no surprise that Cerys’ post has clearly impressed many, as at the time of writing, it was shared just four hours prior and had quickly amassed 156 likes and 56 comments.
These are so handy!

Users were overjoyed to see the epic reduction and people praised the mini moisturisers as “so handy”.
One person said: “This stuff is the best for skin conditions.”
Why shouldn’t children use adult skincare?
“Children’s skin is delicate and, let’s be honest, often lovely.”
Milly Ahlquist, researcher at Lush, said: “Children’s skin is not being mucked around by hormones or showing the effects of late nights, city pollution or too much time spent in the sun.
Unfortunately, the cosmetics industry today is filled with strong actives and acids that were once only available from a professional. Children have a less mature skin barrier than adults and a lower body mass, which makes them more susceptible to irritation and allergy if they use strong products being marketed to adults. This could have a lasting impact on their complexion – and even their lifestyle, if they develop an allergy.
What skincare could children use?
Some skincare good practice is recommended. Gently cleaning your skin to remove sunscreen and any dirt or skin squames is also a good idea. Safe, gentle oils like almond and coconut are often up to this task so you don’t need to splurge on a cleanser aimed at adults.
If the skin needs a little hydration, try a moisturiser.
What skincare could teenagers use?
During adolescent years, skin undergoes extensive physical, emotional and hormonal changes that take us from childhood to adulthood.
Unfortunately, our skin does not get left out of the fun! Of course, puberty will be a different experience for each person, but there are some general changes we expect to occur at this stage of life.
One of the first things you may notice is pinhead-like dots on your t-zone for the first time. These openings contain the hair follicle and sebaceous gland (though some people call them ‘pores’). Your sebaceous glands produce a protective waxy substance called sebum, which
Spot-prone skin needs a very delicate touch. However tempting it is to squeeze or subdue a particularly bold breakout with strong products, this increases your risk of damaging the skin and can lead to scarring. And, as anyone with a scar will know, preventing scarring is generally easier than treating it.
Use a gentle cleanser or exfoliant, and apply a clay-based face mask a few times a week to give the skin a deeper cleanse and absorb trapped dirt.”
Another added: “These are so handy!”
Whilst a third user described the buy as “holiday sized”, a fourth commented: “Ideal for holidays.”
At the same time, another tagged a friend and asked: “Are you off to Asda?”
