Skin Food, Dry Skin Moisturiser, Moisturising Cream & Primer, Face & Body, For Men & Women, Multiple Uses, 100% Certified Natural, Organic, 75ml

I have now purchased this moisturiser a number of times such is my appeal for this organic product by Weleda. It makes a great winter barrier moisturiser especially when your face is exposed to the harsh cold winds and driving rain and then the drying effects of central heating within the home.The consistency is rather thick which makes you wonder if it is suitable for the face but really it is. Just a few small dabs applied on the areas deemed necessary then massage in with a slow, gentle circular motion. Initially your face will look greasy but this disappears pretty quickly as it absorbs deep within. You now have a protective barrier making your skin look hydrated and really healthy. It actually gives you a youthful glow. I use this pretty much all year round alongside a sunscreen by Brickell as I am outdoors a lot, either at work or recreational and I am keen to keep my skin looking at its best despite being male. The smell is quite unique and obviously all natural. It smells rather botanical in a herbal kind of way which I actually like. Lastly, being organic is a great plus and reassuring that no unpleasant and unnecessary chemicals reside in the tube to eventually make their way into your body with unknown consequences!!! Really happy and will continue using this product forever more !!!

Bought this to try and quench my dry, wrinkly skin. I'm early 40s but a lifelong sun lover, so have deep face wrinkles! I use a combo of serums usually alongside L'Oréal day and night creams, but have swapped them for this. It's very thick and almost greasy in texture, but skin feels lovely once it finally sinks in. Feel like I don't have the small under skin temple spots too since switching to this. Love the smell too - super natural!

I have been amazed with this stuff. Skin on my forearm and lower legs looks a bit tired these days. Had one of these for an advent calendar so thought would give it a try. Goes on quite thick and needs to be properly rubbed in. Next morning there was such a difference to my skin. Feels more firm and softer. Scent is lovely as well. Have bought some more and the night cream as well

Weleda do not package their products in fancy packaging; this comes in a small green tube, a bit like a mini toothpaste or ointment tube. I don't know what the full sized one looks like but I suspect it is similar. This small tube comes in an outer cardboard box, again like toothpaste does.In order to open the tube you have to use the lid to pierce the metal seal. This makes it tamper proof and means that nothing nasty can have been added after it left the factory. This is not hard to do and I like the feeling of security it gives.The cream itself is actually quite thick and a creamy colour. It smells like a fresh herb sort of bergamot orange with other herbs; a combination of those used in the product such as chamomile, calendula and lavender. I like the smell. It isn't sweet and feminine at all, in fact it is clean and fresh, slightly masculine and a bit like some ointments.I have only used this on my elbows, hands and as a special treat and in the interests of reviewing I gave my feet a treat too. I find it is really good for hands and elbows. My feet enjoyed their treat too. The cream is quite thick and feels quite intense but once massaged in my elbows felt nice and well fed but not greasy at all. My hands also felt lovely and soft and smooth and I was able to read on my tablet soon after applying as there was no slippery greasy feel.I was also very kind and allowed my husband to use some of his hands as they get very dry and cracked with eczema. This and the Body Shop hemp hand cream both helped a lot with healing them. he is not very good at regularly applying creams on his hands and that is why they get so bad.The scent lingers for quite some time and as I like the smell, I can work on the laptop and enjoy the scent on my hands as I type.This lovely intense cream is full of natural goodies Water, Sunflower Seed Oil, Lanolin, Sweet Almond Oil, Alcohol, Beeswax, Glyceryl Linoleate, Hydrolyzed Beeswax, Viola Tricolor Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Cholesterol, Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol, Citral and Coumarin. Despite some of the Latin names these are all natural ingredients.It reminds me in texture of Body Shop hand cream, the Hemp one. It is similarly thick and feels similar in texture. As it is so thick and intense you need only a little for the moisturising benefits to take effect.I have been a fan of Weleda for some time and am yet to find a product that I do not like. They are not the cheapest option around , especially if you buy them in the UK but I do think they are good quality products produced using ethically sourced ingredients.

edit 04/12/24 The more I use this the more I like it. I really like it for the backs of my hands and cuticles. Only a tiny dab is needed and leaves a lovely glow.This won't be for everyone because of the high levels of perfume and fattiness.First try and I thought the perfume was lavender with orange joining in after a few minutes. I really like the scent but was a bit wary of trying it on my face because of the high levels of perfume.First try on bare skin and I thought it might not be for me as my face reddened and I thought it sticky. I had put on too much because it is thick a maybe a little difficult to spread and my skin is very dry so had a little bit of a sting.Next try and I put it on over my evening primrose oil. I put some on my palm and rubbed my hands together then pressed my hands over my entire face so distributing the cream warmed up and evenly before rubbing in a little bit.That worked well for me. My face didn't go red and isn't irritated. I used less cream and the finish isn't sticky but it is a little wet feeling. I like the shine it gives to the skin (because it is fatty).I'll stop using if I develop any reaction to it obviously. Definitely won't be for everyone because of the high levels of perfume which I think might be from essential oils but not sure as it doesn't say on the packaging except where is says, "Limonene*, Linalool*, Geraniol*, Citral*, Coumarin*. * from natural essential oils".

Just started using this. Love the smell and I only need a small amount on my eczema. My arm is now lovely and soft

This was recommended to me by my massage therapist, who has glowing skin. I have issues with dehydrated skin and so I was looking for a good moisturiser - hydrating, rich but not going to cause my skin to have breakouts through suffocating it. This is perfect. I’m on my second tube of it.I only use this one at night and a different rich moisturiser through the day. The texture is quite thick, almost like a balm but it applies really smoothly. It makes my skin feel tacky for a while after but it gives me confidence it is hydrating it. Through this combination of moisturisers my skin is glowing! I love it and can’t see me changing it out of my routine anytime soon. It is organic ingredients and gets a great score on the app I use to check skincare to make sure there are no nasties I’m applying to my skin.

I have lots of wrinkles under my eyes and darkness looks like been lunched! make me very self conscious and obviously make up is a nightmare . This cream so hydrating really makes such a difference. Also mix a tiny bit foundation use under my eyes works a treat and for mature skin it a lifesaver. Used many brands this is a game changer. Now ordered cleansing balm and make up remover and interest to replace all my products with this brand plus smells like a spa experience

My wife has been asking for this months and loved it, her skin is looking better than ever.

Nachdem ich eine Allergie gegen meine alte Augencreme entwickelt hatte, musste ich zwangsläufig meine Pflegeroutine überdenken. Ich habe bereits früher schon seeeeehr viel positives über diese Creme gehört (als Gesichtscreme) und dachte mir ich gebe ihr mal eine Chance. Nachdem meine heißgeliebte Creme von Clinique aufgebraucht war, war es an der Zeit der Skin Food Creme eine Chance zu geben.Sie ist super. Anders kann ich es nicht sagen. Meine Haut ist recht verwöhnt und ich kriege von vielen "billigen" Cremes einfach ziemlich viele Pickel. Von dieser hier absolut nicht. Keinerlei Allergie, Rötungen oder ähnliches. Ich benutze sie rein als Gesichtscreme, ich kann mir aber aufgrund der Reichhaltigkeit vorstellen das sie auch gut für jegliche anderen trockenen Hautstellen geeignet ist.Meine Pflegeroutine sah und sieht im Grunde so aus das ich mich abends abschminke, wasche und dann eine reichhaltige Pflege auftrage die über Nacht einzieht. Mein Gesicht spannt sofort nach der Reinigung, ist also tendenziell sehr trocken, bis auf den obligatorischen T-Zonen-Glanz. Morgens entferne ich die nächtliche, übriggebliebene Schicht sanft mit Mizellenwasser und trage dann Primer und Makeup auf. Das war's.Eine wichtige Anmerkung auch bezüglich anderer Rezensionen hier: Die Creme zieht nicht ein. Tut mir leid aber das ist völlig utopisch. Sie ist von der Konsistenz sehr dick, ungefähr wie Bepanthen-Salbe sogar etwas dicker. Und genau so fettig. Das ist ein sehr guter Vergleich. Aber trotzdem angenehm und sehr beruhigend und pflegend. Ich benutze sie wie oben geschildert über Nacht, daher stört mich der "fettige Glanz" nicht. Aber sie ist absolut nicht als Makeup-Unterlage geeignet. Zumindest nicht in ihrem Ur-Zustand. Falls ich nicht drum herum komme, massiere ich sie ein, warte 15min und tupfe dann vorsichtig und ohne Reiben die glänzende Schicht mit einem sauberen Kosmetiktuch ab. Da bleibt immernoch eine reichhaltiges Gefühl auf der Haut übrig, zum "Schichten" mit Primer, Makeup usw. etwas ungewohnt aber es funktioniert.Um ehrlich zu sein ist so derart reichhaltig das sie nicht nur mein Gesicht super pflegt - um genau zu sein spare ich mir seitdem die Augencreme. Sie brennt nicht in den Augen und spendet sehr viel Feuchtigkeit. Ich kenne die All About Eyes von Clinique und was-weiß-ich-alles für Cremes, alle sollen Feuchtigkeit spenden und Falten minimieren. Mag sein, aber ich habe noch nie eine Creme gesehen die meine Augenfalten, speziell am Unterlid, so gut pflegt. Ich halte absolut nichts von solchen Aussagen das eine Creme Falten verschwinden lässt oder ähnliches. Ich benutze die Creme bereits seit 5 Monaten täglich - aber wenn ich meine Augen mit dieser Creme eincreme sind meine Falten deutlich weniger ausgeprägt. Sie sind nicht weg, aber die Haut ist einfach absolut nicht trocken und die trockene Textur, die Falten richtig auffällig macht ist einfach nicht vorhanden. Das ist die erste Creme die (bei mir) genug Feuchtigkeit spendet um wirklich einen Unterschied zu machen.

I use this as a night cream, it smelled beautiful and is so nourishing without feeling greasy. I even started using it under my makeup when doing a full face makeup. Skin stays hydrated and glowy!Heard about it through Bella Hadid on IG so I had to try it. Will purchase again and again!

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 🙏🥰💯

I’ve always had good skin (thanks, genetics!) but once I hit 62 things started to change in a not-so-great way. I’ve tried several moisturizers and creams but only had moderate success. I saw reviews for this product and the price was reasonable, so decided to give it a try. I’m very, very pleased.The scent: there is one and it might seem strong to some right out of the tube, but after rubbing it in most of the scent dissipates. Look at the ingredients and you’ll see sunflower, chamomile, rosemary, and lavender. That’s what it smells like; kinda plant-y/herb-y. Kinda earthy. Maybe a smidge medicinal in a health food store kind of way. It’s not an artificial fragrance and no fragrance is added to the product. I’m sensitive to scents. Some open my nose like a faucet. This doesn’t. No reaction at all.Texture: very thick. Goes on white, similar to a diaper cream (almost) or heavy sunscreen. Feels a bit oily at first and takes some effort to get it thoroughly rubbed into the skin, but the heat of your hands gets it to absorb. You’ll feel it on the surface of your skin like a thin protective coating, but as the day goes by that lessens.I have extremely dry skin on my lower legs, and this cream has really helped. I occasionally get plaques from plaque psoriasis (an autoimmune skin disease) on my arms, and this product helps with that a lot. Here’s the real magic: it doesn’t burn! Even when you’ve scratched your skin to within an nth of its life, this doesn’t burn! It’s fabulous. Psoriasis comes from within the body so a cream isn’t going to make it go away, but this one helps to keep the skin from being so obnoxiously flaky, improves skin texture, and strangely seems to help reduce the itching.Since I started using this three weeks ago the skin on my elbows and knees is in the best condition it’s ever been and I’m 66. Not exaggerating. It’s also fantastic as a heel and cuticle cream. My heels used to be awful, and they aren’t anymore. Put this stuff on your hands before bed and put cotton gloves on; your cuticles will thank you. World of difference and I only do that 1-2x a week. It’s also great for taming my mind-of-their-own eyebrow hairs. Nails those puppies right down. I haven’t tried it as a nighttime face cream yet, but I’m going to.This cream is made in Germany and the standards in Europe for skincare are very different. I’m reactive to almost everything it seems and have a plethora of allergies thanks to an overactive autoimmune system, but have had no reaction to this cream (knocking on wood right now). The ingredients list isn’t something that looks like some evil genius’s chemistry project, and that’s reassuring. I’m planning to try the Light version of this for daytime use just to see if there’s any difference, and then use this richer one at night, but I promise I’m not ever going to be without it.
