Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream

Works wonders for mature skin

I am 54 years old and have been searching for several years for a moisturizer that is a true humectant that will actually hydrate my (ack!) aging skin. Being post menopausal means everything is drier, and I live in a very ... dry climate as well. In desperation, and after spending a small fortune hither and yon, trusting in and purchasing anything that had positive reviews for "the best moisturizer," (but in truth were not ever very moisturizing), I gave in and used petroleum jelly. Yep, that's how low I sunk! Petroleum jelly - on my face! All it did was make me look greasy, and I got small bumps all over my face -even under my eyes. I was shocked that my dermatologist recommended continuing with it, despite the bumps. Well, I didn't follow his advice (thank heavens), nor did I like the samples of creams he gave me, and was about to give up on finding anything for my skin when I received a sample size tube of Weleda rich intensive skin food. I used it and immediately fell in love with it! I've used it for nearly 2 weeks now and not only does my face feel hydrated, but it looks dewy and younger too, and not greasy! And the weird bumps are gone! I'm here to now purchase the largest tube of this wonderful product that I can. I'm so grateful that Weleda rich intensive skin food came into my life. After years of spending too much money for poor products, and all of the frustration of dealing with red, painful itchy, sallow skin, I now have lovely, smooth, moisturized skin. Exactly what I have been looking for. I highly recommend this product to anyone, but especially those with mature skin.

As face cream

My good friend slathers her face with this ultra-rich cream every morning. Her skin is flawless like porcelain and she is in her 70’s. Too rich for my skin on my face, but perfect for hers. ... If you have a dry face. Try it there. I use the light on my face and my face loves it.

Antonia

Great Face Cream

I received this product in a beauty kit and didn’t realize it was for dry/very dry skin. I used it on my face at night and was surprised that not only did my skin look amazingly smooth and refreshed in ... the morning, but it didn’t make my face break out either because I do not have dry facial skin. I have normal, somewhat sensitive skin. This product is so amazing that it should be marketed for all skin types.

The Best!

I have been using Skin Food for about 15+ Yrs. It’s my all time favorite cold weather moisturizer. Great on feet too for cracked heels In summer. ;))

Jeannie

Great moisturizer

I have been applying this to my feet daily after showering. Not only does it feel good after applying, I have also noticed a huge difference in the appearance of my heels. I am so glad I tried this cream ... and will no longer have to feel self-conscious when wearing my sandals.

Works great

I tend to have some rough skin around my elbows, so I was excited to try this product. I am very pleased with how well it works. It makes my skin feel so soft and healthy. My elbows don't feel ... no where near as rough and dry as they did before. I will definitely get more of this before I run out of the one that I have.

Well-earned reputation for skincare quality.

Over the past few years, I've noticed changes in my skin. Healing takes longer, scabs stick around, and dry hands and nose is an everyday occurrence. I'm thrilled that I was given the opportunity to see what all the fuss ... is about. I am a believer in Skin Food now that I've experienced it for myself. The fragrance is noticeable, but natural, and dissipates quickly. I applied it to some razor nicks on one leg in various states of recovery and found that, in my experience, healing time was reduced about 20%, and with less noticeable marks compared to the leg that was untreated. This tube will live in my purse until I have to cut it open and scrape it.

My skin feels soft, not greasy

I like to have moisturizer for my face and hands. A lot of the ones I have tried feel so greasy and then I am sweaty all day. The Skin food is really thick, so I ... needed a little more than I when I use a thinner lotion. It made my face feel so soft. I love that it is made from plants and herbs that I am comfortable with and use for other things.

Tamaramarie

Great item

I love the name and that is what made me try it. Food for my skin. This has made my skin really soft and from drying out. With the cold weather my hands are always getting dried out and this ... has helped a lot.

Ecarterheinzer

Great for dry skin

I have really dry skin during the winter months where we live in MN. I really like this cream because I can use a little bit and it hydrates my skin. I just need a little dab on my finger ... and I can spread it all over my arm and my skin is no longer dry.I know that I can feel good about putting this on my skin since it is parabens and phthalates free. I also like that it doesn't have a scent because I don't really like a scent in my cream that I use. I really like that there are 2.5ozs in this tube so I can take it with me on an air plane when I go on vacation. I like that it is also small enough to fit in my purse so I can always have it with me.I recommend this product and I know that I will continue to use it into the future.

Wonderful product

Skin Food Original is a great product for those problem areas that tend to be dry. Hands, feet, elbows, knees are some of my own problem areas. That being said I have used it on my face as well ... and it can be used anywhere dry skin is an issue. It�s very emollient and does not have an unpleasant smell or feel. I wash my hands a lot and this is a great product to help keep them soft and prevent them from cracking. I also like to use it on my feet and then throw on socks to keep my feet moisturized and soft.

Nonisey

My skin loves it

Weleda original skin food is amazing! I used it on my hands and it feels great. It�s not watery and it has a very pleasant smell. This would be good to keep in the purse or in your car. They ... are other scents, I can�t wait to try them all.

Nikkys2cents

This cream is wonderful!!

I have very dry skin as I have gotten older. This stuff is WONDERFUL! I even purchased some for my Mom as she has similar dry skin. I�m really glad that the ingredients are safe and work so well! This ... is something that I will carry in my purse.

Gunnarmom

Gave me beautiful moisturized skin

I had never heard of this product, but It has changed my life! I have always suffered from extremely dry cracked skin, especially during the winter months. This product has brought life back to my skin. A little bit goes ... a long way and it does seem thick at fist but it absorbs nicely into you skin leaving it feeling soft and moisturized. I have used it on my face and haven't had any breakouts or other issues. It does wonders on your feet too, say good bye to dry cracked heels! The citrus spell is very refreshing also.

Cassie52

Great for dry rough elbows/hands!

I�ve been using this stuff for my dry elbows for awhile now and they look and feel wonderful! It�s a super rich formula that really saturates and moisturizes skin and I love the way it smells! 3 days ago I ... noticed a patch of skin on my pinky finger that was starting to get rough and dry really quickly, I used skin food and I kid you not with 2 applications my finger went back to near normal looking skin.

Cj93

Ultra rich is right!

This moisturizer is super thick and rich, but spreads nicely and absorbs quickly without being greasy. And it lasted through the night! I love the scent. It's herbal with a touch of lavender. Not too strong or sweet.

Slang223

Heavy cream for dry hands and feet

I�ve been using this cream for a few days now and it�s made a huge difference on my dry hands and feet. In the winter my hands dry out and crack and this cream has healed them in a few ... days. It reminds me of Nivea cream in terms of the consistency but it�s not as greasy, it absorbs much better. I really like the scent as well, it�s very fresh and clean smelling and isn�t overpowering. You only need a dab as it rubs in and covers really well. It�s plant based which is an added bonus. It�s a great skin cream if you have very dry skin.

Orsontx

Great for very dry skin....

I really like the weleda skin food lotion. I have very dry skin on my hands from washing them so frequently. And this lotion is thick and stays on my hands for a long time. I don't have to keep ... reapplying like I was with other lotions. So, yes I would recommend this for anyone with very dry skin.

Lmhilly

SO GOOD

I have used this every day since I�ve recieved it and I have noticed a HUGE difference in my hands and skin around my nails. I�m notoriously dry during the winter and this helped almost immediately. It has a pleasant ... smell, almost grapefruity. It absorbs quickly and doesn�t leave a greasy film behind, I�ve even used this on my lips in a pinch. Works there too!!! The size is perfect for my purse, I haven�t been without it since I got it.

Lita627

LOVE this skin cream

I really love this skin cream. It makes my hands feel so soft. It goes on thick, but quickly absorbs into the skin and there is no greasy feeling left behind. I do think it has helped with my dry ... hands this winter and I've also used it on my elbows. It doesn't take much to get the job down.

Lana_b

Powerhouse!

This is a very good skin cream. It is very thick and moisturizes extremely well. I used this product for the first time for rough dry and chapped hands. It nourishes and heals quickly and there is no greasiness, once ... applied it leaves your skin feeling instantly smooth and soft. I like that the cream is free of harsh chemicals and additives. It is also not animal tested and uses plant and flower extracts and oils. I have the 1.0 oz tube and though it looks small this cream is pretty amazing and you only need a small amount. The small tube is perfect for my purse or to have on hand in my desk at work. This is easy to find in store and online and is a new favorite for me. Highly recommended.

L.loohoo

Works terrifically

So often I run into products that make claims that thru can't uphold. This lotion is fabulous! I appreciate the small size to carry with me to work. My hands dry out because of the constant sanitizing I must do ... in the classroom. It has a unique herbal scent and the formula absorbs into your skin without leaving behind a greasy residue. My skin feels so nourished and the cracks I usually get are completely gone. I've been applying it to my feet as well along my heels as they often dry out as well. I am impressed with this product, the quality, formula and ingredients.

Karenms

Very moist

I took this lotion on a trip recently and surprised how thick it was. It is very moisturizing and thick to put on. That said it seems to work well as I was surprised how good my skin felt later ... in the day.

Kfrbailey

Luxury cream!

I suffer from dry, cracked hands in the winter time. Weleda skin food is the solution! It smells wonderful and has no harmful ingredients. I use it very sparingly on the chapped areas of my hands and it works wonders! ... It is a little greasy but does absorb fairly quickly. Just remember that a little goes a long way.

Rigirl25

Extremely moisturizing!

Winter has absolutely wrecked my skin and has made it very dry and in some places cracked, like on my hands. I have been trying to find a lotion that is thick enough to deeply hydrate my skin, and I ... have now found it with this lotion! I love how travel friendly this tube of lotion is, as I can drop it in my purse without it bulking it up. The tube makes it really easy to open the cap and to squeeze gently and distribute the lotion into my hands. The lotion consistency is on the thicker side, and I love it because it helps my dry skin immensely. The thick lotion spreads out nicely, and does not leave me feeling greasy like other thick lotions tend to do. I have noticed that most of it soaks in right away, it feels nice also while it is soaking in. I get instant moisture and it helps tame the itch of dry chapped skin that I tend to get with the extreme cold temperatures in the Midwest. I love the slight fragrance that this lotion has as well, it is not strong at all and only is noticeable if you smell your hands. I appreciate that there is not a strong scent, as this is a nice and calming lotion that I can count on to make my skin feel softer and smoother. After using this for a week I have noticed how much softer the tops of my hands are as well as my skin in general. It looks and feels so much softer and more supple and I have not had any more issues with my skin cracking! I recommend this if you are looking for an extremely moisturizing lotion!

Good moisturizing lotion for hands

My hands get so chapped and raw from constantly washing them in the winter to keep from getting sick. (I work with young children.) I applied this lotion to my hands and could instantly feel the moisturizer working. The lotion ... is very thick, but it is perfect for dry hands, as it really soaks in and hydrates the skin. I have it in my purse and have been applying it right after washing and drying my hands. They look and feel so much better than they did.

Klflute

Super rich

The Weleda Skin Food is super thick and has a rich, creamy texture. I love that it hasn�t been tested on animals and co tai s no parabens. It�s thick but warms up in your hands and is easy to ... apply to the skin. It absorbs after a few minutes. The only thing I didn�t like is the strong perfume-y fragrance. I would�ve preferred a lighter scent. It doesn�t t smell bad. It smells clean but very much like perfume. I highly recommend to anyone with dry akin that loves to smell good.

Katmillers

Helped my dry hands

This is a great, fast working hand cream. My hands especially get chapped and dry in the winter months and this hand cream has gently fixed that problem. For this hand cream a little goes a long way. I only ... rub a small pea size amount to fully cover my hands. After a few uses my dry, rough hands started to feel smooth again. This non greasy hand cream is scented but the scent is nice and not too strong.

K0612

Good. Product

I got my skin food product about a week and a half ago. I really like it considering that I have very dry and rough elbows and feet especially on my hills. I like how my skin goes from ... rough to silky smooth. I use this product 4-5 times a day. The only con I have is I wish I bottle was a little bigger.

Jenshiv73

Great stuff

My skin hasn�t looked this smooth in awhile. Not sure if it�s for every skin type, but it worked great on mine and has kept me free of blackheads. Highly recommend using this at night and then waking up refreshed!

Dache

Intense Cream

I struggle with dry patches of skin. Until I started using Weleda Skin Food. This is an Ultra-Rich Cream like nothing else. My skin has never looked or felt better. Weleda Skin Food really nourishes your dry skin with its ... potent plant extract formula. It's perfect for those extra dry rough areas, like elbows, heels, & hands. And a little really does go along way. I highly recommend checking out Weleda Skin Food. Your skin will thank you.

J2222

This cream is amazing

The product works on sensitive skin. It is very thick coming out of the tube and I was concerned it might clog pores but it hasn�t happened. I have been using this twice a day and my skin looks better ... than it has in a very long time.

Jenaluv

Great product

Great job. Product worked very well. Body was able to get wet and still have moisture in my skin afterwards. I would definitely use this again and again. I would recommend it to everyone. Great smell also.

Great For Extremely Dry Skin!

I have had a life long issue with very dry skin. It is a real problem, especially in the harsh winters where I live. The Skin Food Original is a perfect solution for my dry skin issues. I like to ... apply it as a mask before bed in the winter because it is kind of heavy and greasy. A tiny bit goes a long way!! It is almost like using a lip balm for your face as far as explaining the relief my skin gets from this. It feels very healing to cracked dry skin. I also like to use it on my hands when they get dry and cracked. I love that it has no animal testing, is free of parabens and phthalates, free of synthetic preservatives and fragrances. The only thing negative is how oily it can make your skin if you put too much or if you don't have time to let it absorb before applying makeup. I make sure I have at least 20 minutes to let it absorb if I am applying it before I apply foundations so it is not greasy or heavy. Once it absorbs, my skin feels soft and hydrated, so, the oily feeling is just the initial reaction of your skin because it has so many nutrients for your skin to absorb. Great product, my winter is much better with it! It leaves my skin looking fresh and hydrated and feeling brand new.

No more dry skin

The Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream is very moisturizing and good for people with dry skin like myself. I used the Weleda Cream mainly on my elbows and feet and it really moisturized my skin. A little goes a ... long way, it has Rosemary, Chamomile and Pansy Extracts in it. It is paraben, fragrance, phthalate, synthetic preservative free & not tested on animals. I like this cream alot and my skin has a glow to it. If you're tired of having dry cracking skin I recommend you to get the Weleda Original Ultra-Rich Cream Skin Food.

Ultra Lush

I've been using the Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream for a few weeks now and my elbows are so happy! My elbows have always been horrible with cracked skin and just rough in general. After using Skin Food everyday, ... my elbows are so much softer. The cracks are healed and it no longer hurts to bend my arms. The container is small but boy oh boy is it mighty! A little drop of this stuff goes a long way. Not greasy and soaks in well! Definitely recommended!

Itygfma

Excellent product

I love this cream because it has been very good for my dry skin. Love the fact that it is suitable for the entire body and not only the hands. It hydrates with plant extracts and oils and has a ... good scent too. The cream leaves the skin very soft without leaving greasy residues. Doesn't contains synthetic preservatives, fragrances, parabens or phthalates. Love the fact that they do not test on animals!

Teresa1962

Definitely a rich lotion!!

This lotion is really rich, doesn't require a lot to use and doesn't have a bad smell to it. I've used it twice a day, once in the morning & again at bedtime and have noticed my hands are definitely ... softer! Have already recommended this lotion to my daughters who also have dry hands!

Fishinggrandma

Holy grail!!!

This is the best thing ever!! I work at a restaurant and I have to constantly wash my hands and my hands become very dry and it hurts! Horrible dry patches!!

Added bonus, it has a nice smell to it, it too strong but just sort of fresh and clean smelling .

Great lotion

I also like the fact it didn't leave a greasy residual on my feet or his hands.

Mary79

The thickest cream I have ever experienced

This is like the cement version of lotion. It is thick and it's not slippery--just take a bit and put it on your super dry/cracked areas. Feels great! I would definitely recommend for ppl like myself who ... get very dry hands in the winter

Chitwinmom

Great cream for winter skin

Amanda R.

The Best For Dry skin

Ok, so stubbles upon this after needing a more hydrating moisturizer with the weather change in Georgia. I’m combination skin but the older (38) I’ve gotten I lean more on the drier side. This magic cream is my absolute go-to ... at nighttime heck, even daytime with being at home. It makes a great primer base to my airbrush foundation and it smells so good not fragrant but natural scented. I look forward to my nighttime routine just to use it. I turned my bestie on to it also. I'm in love with the texture. I may need to purchase the lighter version for summer/spring.

Cesarae

It's Amazing

It feels like I've tried every cream and lotion on the market, trying to get the eczema on my hands and my calloused heels under control. After just a couple of weeks of this ultra-rich cream my hands are ... back to normal (the prescription eczema cream doesn't even work as well as this!) and my heels are almost smooth (miraculous!). I love this stuff and highly recommend it.
