Weleda Skin Food

So nice. Thick and creamy with a faint clean citrus-vanilla-grass scent. Great on backs of hands and shins, feet, cheekbones and around mouth (or wherever you’re dry) in winter. Absorbs quickly for how thick it is, leaves the faintest glow. I haven’t had good results layering over other lotions, it gets sticky as a top layer. Works best for me as a stand-alone, even with the other products in line (light moisture face lotion, body lotion, and body butter). Highly recommend for dry skin.

I absolutely love this product. I find it to have a pleasant, mild smell and a nice consistency. It is thick but spreads really nicely and gives kind of a sheen to the skin. It absorbs quite well on the body and face. Compared to other plant based creams I’ve used, this one is much less greasy and leaves the skin nicely moisturized without any after effects. I have discovered a specific use for it that cancels the need out for another cosmetic product, namely brow gel. I find this leaves my eyebrows softened and keeps them in place, also gives a bit of shine that is even nicer than the eyebrow gel I’ve bought from sephora. I especially like that Weleda Skin food products are gentle enough to use as an eye cream when you need that extra hydration to fight winter dryness.

I power through California summers, by focusing on the upcoming winter, and how much I’ll appreciate every rainy day, the scent of petrichor, every cozy night in, the absence of mosquitoes, and being forced to wear clothes so drenched in sweat, you could literally wring them out at the end of the day… 🥵 The only thing I DON’T appreciate is how itchy, flakey and dry my skin is throughout my favorite season. Combined with battling cystic pimples every month with AHA’s, BHA’s, Tretinoin, my skin is practically snowing! 😩 ENTER WELEDA SKIN FOOD; a MIRACLE for dry, itchy, flaky skin. Why trust my review? Well, I’ve tried a lot of heavy thick creams in attempt to quench my extremely parched skin; CeraVe w/ Hyaluronic Acid, Nivea, First Aid Ultra Repair, even La Mer — none were nearly as effective or worked half as long as WELEDA SKIN FOOD. But my skin isn’t just dry, it’s also sensitive, prone to blackheads, cystic pimples, dark spots, and at 39, (going on 25 😉), it also struggles to turn over on its own, which easily leads to congestion, especially on my face. To prevent pimples that will inevitably leave scars and dark spots, I have to continue using Tretinoin and other chemical exfoliants during the wintertime, and trust me —IT SHEDS to an unsightly and embarrassing degree, but I’ve found a significant amount of relief from WELEDA. It not only keeps my skin hydrated for several hours, but it significantly minimizes the appearance of flaking skin and leaves it glowing and dewy without clogging my pores. But, I believe this product could be better if there was an “unscented” option. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a terrible scent; it’s a bit minty and sweet, and it does go away after you apply it, but some people, like myself are sensitive to secrets, and there’s NO reason why any skincare product should have scents added to them. That’s my only complaint/suggestion. Other than that this cream is perfect and like many reviews say, it works perfectly as a makeup primer. It IS thick, and it can sometimes be hard to spread around, but I find that I’d you apply it over a serum, it’ll spread quite smoothly over the skin. (This review is 100% honest and incentive-free)

I love it! I put it on my face at night before bed. It’s thick but it absorbs well. Great moisturizer and gives you a good glow. I only wish there were scent options. The lemony smell isn’t for me, but I deal with it because I like the product.

I never bought it because i never needed extra oil or moisturizing (ive always had normal skin). But now, in my 50s, i became alarmed to see my facial skin becoming unusually dry. Tight dry facial skin. Very uncomfortable but also it looked awful. I actually suspect a body wash i started using caused this, more than hormonal changes. Because for over a decade I've only used a specific glycerin based bar soap. But i switched to a body wash last month and i do believe it dried my skin out badly. Anyway, it freaked me out, so i bought this and within 3 days of use my facial skin looks and feels so much better. Supple, moisturized, and luminous. I will always keep this on hand.

At age 65 I was introduced to Weleda by a professional makeup artist who used this as a primer under my makeup. Not only has my makeup looked amazing... so many compliments... but, my skin does too!! The product is quite thick, so you need to rub it on your finger-tips to soften it up. I pat it on, bc rubbing it on pulls my skin. A little goes a long way, fyi. My skin soaks up the moisture which Weldeda refers to as 'Skin Food', AND IT IS. PTL. Personally, I love the fragrance; it is very outdoorsy and calming. Lastly, do not get me started on the price! It is so affordable! Big name moisterizers, not to mention primers, can cost 4 to 5 times the price. For that reason alone this product is worth a try.

I live in northern New England, and during the winter everything just gets so dry, including me. I tried this as a recommendation from a friend, and it’s been a game changer. Kept my parched skin moisturized all winter, and people kept remarking how I just glowed! I also like that I’m not putting lots of chemicals on my face. It’s a bit thick so I’m not using it during the summer, but this is now my winter time moisturizer!

There is so much hype about this product, especially, "supposedly" a multiple celeb fave.....I don't get it. I love that it is a clean product, and it does moisturize well, although I wouldn't tell anyone to put this specific cream on their face at all! I got the skin food original ultra rich body cream. It's too thick and greasy for the face. Anyway, I can't get past the scent, Its strong and its AWFUL! I have only put it on my hands, and I just cannot tolerate the smell. My cat hates it too! I wanted to try more of their products, but now I am pretty hesitant. sigh. and I guess Im throwing this cream in the trash.

This is a rich luxurious cream suited to dry sensitive skin. I’m 70 and an Ozzie so dry skin has been a long term problem. This rich cream has taken the place of my Lancôme Nutrix at about a 10th of the price. Not only will you dry skin thank you your bank account will as well. My advice is to apply the cream when your skin is slightly damp and about an hour before you want to apply makeup. This will give your skin must need time to absorb the cream, I then just pay any remaining cream gently off. Your skin will be glowing literally. At night I apply a thicker layer and let it sink in. A fantastic find.

Great item. Lovely scent & quite thick but eventually rubs in. Would recommend for dry hands/cutickes

My face skin totally colapsed the passed winter and was super dry and just trubble. I've read about this product and the bennefits it provides. And my face is sooooo soft, looks amazing and I just love it so much. Will buy again ofc 🙏🥰💯

Muy buen producto me hidrato mi piel en profundidad., lo volveré a comprar.

Very emollient and excellent for dry skin, I use it on my face on top of serums. Strong green & floral scent but pleasant, dissipates after application, which I don’t mind at all. Good value for money!
