One shopper spotted the deal and took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share it with others.
They posted a screenshot of the Elemis products available on Home Bargains' website, with the caption: "You can have delivery too".
In response, one user wrote: " Poundland have the Elemis mask too for £5."
Another similarly commented: "I think I have seen the mask advertised for £5 at Poundland.
"Still a brilliant price at HB just in case anyone else is interested."
Another user wrote: "Did this just get approved because there's no sign of it for me?"
It comes as Home Bargains recently released a dupe of Elemis' Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm.
It is less than £3 - £46 cheaper than the Elemis version.
One shopper spotted the affordable dupe in her local store and shared it on social media.
She said: "Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm dupe at Home Bargains for only £2.99
"Not checked ingredients etc, just noticed this is almost identical to the Elemis product so thought some of you may be interested."

5 things you didn't know about Home Bargains
Home Bargains was founded by Tom Morris
It's official name is TJ Morris Ltd but trades as Home Bargains
The first store was opened in Liverpool in 1976
Around 30% of the stores range comprises clearance lines
There are 575 stores nationwide
Home Bargains, a British variety store and garden centre chain, is one of the UK's fastest growing discount retailers.
It was founded in 1976 by Tom Morris in Liverpool.
The retailer is cracking down on shoplifting by bringing in a major change to self-checkouts.
Home Bargains is deploying AI cameras that will automatically spot items leaving the shop that haven't been scanned.
If anyone leaves the store after using the self-checkout, without having scanned a product, the hi-tech cameras will flag to staff that something is being stolen.
Home Bargains is collaborating with tech firm SAI, Storewide Active Intelligence and AI-business Everseen to install the software into its CCTV.
SAI described the technology as converting regular security cameras into "specialised and capable in-store AI assistants."
As of right now, there are only four Home Bargains branches with self-checkout services.
How to save money on your food shop
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save hundreds of pounds a year:
Odd boxes - plenty of retailers offer slightly misshapen fruit and veg or surplus food at a discounted price.
Lidl sells five kilos of fruit and veg for just £1.50 through its Waste Not scheme while Aldi shoppers can get Too Good to Go bags which contain £10 worth of all kinds of products for £3.30.
Sainsbury's also sells £2 "Taste Me, Don't Waste Me" fruit and veg boxes to help shoppers reduced food waste and save cash.
Food waste apps - food waste apps work by helping shops, cafes, restaurants and other businesses shift stock that is due to go out of date and passing it on to members of the public.
Some of the most notable ones include Too Good to Go and Olio.
Too Good to Go's app is free to sign up to and is used by millions of people across the UK, letting users buy food at a discount.
Olio works similarly, except users can collect both food and other household items for free from neighbours and businesses.
Yellow sticker bargains - yellow sticker bargains, sometimes orange and red in certain supermarkets, are a great way of getting food on the cheap.
But what time to head out to get the best deals varies depending on the retailer. You can see the best times for each supermarket here.
Super cheap bargains - sign up to bargain hunter Facebook groups like Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK where shoppers regularly post hauls they've found on the cheap, including food finds.
"Downshift" - you will almost always save money going for a supermarket's own-brand economy lines rather than premium brands.
The move to lower-tier ranges, also known as "downshifting" and hailed by consumer expert Martin Lewis, could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your food shop.

How you can get more money off your Aldi and Iceland weekly food shop this summer
Find out how to save money on your grocery shop SHOP TO IT How you can get more money off your Aldi and Iceland weekly food shop this summer TWO major supermarkets are stepping up to help struggling parents feed their kids over the long summer break. Almost a quarter of British parents have said they plan to skip meals themselves over summer just so their children can eat, while more than half feared they will struggle to cope with rising costs. 1 Iceland and Aldi are helping families get more money off their shops this summer Credit: Getty But two of Britain's biggest budget supermarkets are stepping up to help struggling families. Iceland and Aldi have both announced money-saving initiatives designed to ease the squeeze on household budgets and help parents keep cupboards stocked. Iceland, along with its sister chain The Food Warehouse, has launched a new scheme to give a much-needed boost to families who rely on free school meal vouchers. From the start of the school holidays, eligible families will get a £5 top-up to spend at Iceland, the biggest ever offered by the chain, and more than double the £2 bonus that was given last year. Richard Walker, Executive Chairman of Iceland Foods, described the findings as heartbreaking. He said no parent should have to sacrifice their own meals to feed their kids and stressed that the top-up aims to give a bit of relief to families during the summer. The supermarket has also launched a range of extra deals to help shoppers, including 8 items for £10 offers, half price off popular brands, buy two get one free deals, and big discounts on laundry products. To qualify for the extra fiver, families must first be eligible fro free school meals. Then they need to have an Iceland or The Food Warehouse Bonus Card, which is free to sign up for online or via the Bonus Card app. The £5 bonus will then be credited onto the card within seven working days after scanning it at the checkout. Three key benefits you could be missing out on Meanwhile, Aldi is rolling out its Summer Support Scheme, giving families across Britain the chance to bag a £50 voucher every day during the summer holidays. The scheme will last from July through to the end of August, Each day, one family will be picked at random to win a £50 voucher to spend on anything in store, from fresh groceries and cupboard fillers to toys and games from the Specialbuy aisle. In total, 62 vouchers are up for grabs, helping to ease the pressure on parents as they juggle the cost of feeding, entertaining and keeping children active. The Sun has contacted Iceland to confirm whether the voucher is a one-off or if parents with multiple kids can repeatedly claim this. Unlike, Iceland's offer you don't have to be eligible for free school meals to sign up for Aldi's scheme, parents can enter by sending their name and email address to SummerSupportScheme@ Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said the scheme would help support families through what can be a financially challenging time. This summer scheme follows Aldi's ongoing efforts to support families, including freezing the price of its Mamia First Infant Formula until the end of 2025. In another major help for families, Aldi has brought back its hugely popular Back to School range and frozen prices once again. Parents can pick up essential school uniform items from just £1.50, and the full £5 uniform bundle, available in sizes ranging from four to 12 years. For those looking to top up on school kit, shoppers will find three-packs of shirts for £3.69, jersey trousers at £2.49 and leather school shoes with memory foam insoles for just £8.99. The range also includes sportswear and PE essentials, with joggers from £6.99 and football boots from £9.99. Who can get free school meals? Whether you are eligible for free school meals after that depends on whether you get certain benefits and your income. In the UK, you qualify if you get certain benefits regardless of income. These benefits include; income support, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and support under the Immigration and Asylum Act. In England and Wales, this also includes if you receive the guaranteed element of Pension Credit and working tax credit. For millions on Universal Credit there are income requirements though. If you live in England or Wales, you must have an income of £7,400 a year or less, not including benefits, to qualify for free school meals. Those on child tax credits must earn under £16,190 a year. In Scotland, those on Universal Credit must have a monthly income of £660 or less - £7,920 a year. Meanwhile, Scottish families must have an income of less than £17,005 if they claim child tax credits, which goes down to £7,920 if they claim this as well as working tax credits. In some cases, children aged between 16 and 18 receiving Universal Credit themselves can be eligible for free school meals too. How many eligible children claim free school meals in England? Just under 1.9 million pupils are eligible for free school meals in England. However, analysis from the Liberal Democrats in December 2022 revealed over 230,000 children were not receiving the benefit because their parents were not claiming. Based on that, it means around 1.7 million students are currently claiming free school meals in England. What other support is available? These aren't the only retailers offering help to families this summer. Asda also offers a Kids Eat for £1 deal in its in-store cafes, which runs year-round. Children can get a hot meal for just £1 when an adult spends £1 or more. Some meals also include a free drink and a piece of fruit, making it one of the most affordable lunch options when you're out. Meanwhile, Tesco has teamed up with Community Cookery School to offer free cooking classes to parents and children over the summer, helping families learn budget-friendly recipes and how to reduce food waste. You can also check if your local council is running a Holiday Activities and Food Programme. These government-backed schemes offer free meals and activities to children who qualify for free school meals during term time but places often fill up fast, so it's worth registering early.

The supermarket that wins in the cost of living crisis
Inflation is continuing to rise in food products 🥦 Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

As we are currently in the midst of a cost of living crisis, we may be on the hunt for supermarkets that are more affordable when it comes to buying groceries. According to new figures from the Office For National Statistics, food prices are rising at their fastest rate in over a year. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Economic expert, Steve McCabe explains that while shops like Poundland are low in price, they don't sell all the products you may need for a weekly food shop unlike major UK supermarkets such as Tesco. Inflation is rising, which means essential items for the household such as food and toiletries continue to increase in price. Steve said: 'In the present climate, inflation is at 3.4%. So it's not as high as it was a couple of years ago when it reached over 10%, but nonetheless it is going up. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'So people are having to economise, and they're looking for bargains.' Steve further explains that due to this, discount supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl have 'done really well', as they sell own-brand alternatives to popular products. Senior UK Economist at Berenburg, Andrew Wishart has said that there is a stronger food price inflation forecasters expected, suggesting that grocers have enough 'pricing power' to pass increased staff costs and agricultural prices on to customers.
