Lighter version of my fav

This is a lighter version with slightly different benefits than Skin Food. This nourishing cream is awesome for my face which is usually red and irritated. It calms it right down with calendula and leaves my face looking calm and ... moisturized.

Goldilocks cream

I love Weleda, especially the Skin Food products. This cream is just right for my face, not too heavy and not too light, but enough moisture to keep me going, especially in the cold winter months.

Love this!

My aging skin is very dry, and Weleda Light day cream is the most emollient cream that stays moist all day that I’ve found. It really soaks into the skin without leaving a gloppy feel. I get compliments on my ... skin all the time, and Weleda has become an essential part of my skin care regime.

HG Face Moisturizer

This moisturizer is so hydrating and refreshing! Most moisturizers burn my eyes and make my face red and this doesn't do anything like that. It actually feels soothing despite the presence of essential oils. I'd say try it even if ... you have reactive skin like me. Worst case it's a great hand cream.

Taylor

Amazing, favorite cold weather moisturizier

Absolutely love this moisturizer for my face in cold/dry weather. Terrific. I would only ask to tone down the fragrance please. I find it irritating, especially around my eyes. I know it's supposedly essential oil fragrance, ... but geez, it's at like a 9 and I need it at like a 3. Yikes. Still, 9.5/10.

Mark

Amazing

I got both the rich and the light to see which one is better for my skin and I have to say this one was amazing. The smell is very minimal which is a plus but no breakouts, my skin ... is moisturized, it doesn't dry out throughout the day, and it feels great. Chicago weather is thought but in the winter this saved my skin from eczema I always get. I can't recommend this enough.

Sandra

Perfect

This is a really good moisturizer. I use it on my face everyday in the morning. I love that it has clean ingredients, leaves a dewy look, and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. The smell is not overpowering ... to me and goes away after a minute.

Molly

Less Potent than the Original

I tried the light cream instead of the original, but have found that it is not as nourishing for my dry, winter hands. I need to use more which has made it run out very quickly. It still smells great, ... though. This is more of a casual lotion that I would recommend for normal, not very dry, skin. If you have really dry skin, get the Original Skin Food, which works amazingly.

Moisturizing

I like this moisturizer. It it�s good at really getting in your pores and cleaning your skin but I kind of don�t like the oily feeling it leaves. It is great at hydrating you but I think it�s too oily ... for me.

New favorite!

I am obsessed with this cream! I can totally see why they call it skin food because it's so awesome and nourishing to your skin and I feel like I'm doing something good for face every time I use it. ... It's light, creamy, smells good, and leaves my face super moisturized all day without any greasy residue. Now I know you can use it on your body but nothing is drier than face especially in the winter so that's where I focus and it helps so much, I just apply a little bit (it goes a long way!) before my makeup and my face feels amazing all day and then some.

My Favorite Skin Cream

The Weleda Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream cream makes my skin feel very smooth and hydrated without feeling greasy. It smells wonderful and refreshing, without being overpowering. I only have to use a pea size amount for my ... entire face. I use the cream year-round all over my body after taking a shower and I haven't had any problems with breakouts or irritations.

Leaves skin refreshed

The Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream has left my skin feeling and looking great. I use the Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream after my showers and the cream does not leave a sticky residue. Within a week you can see ... the change in your skin.

Great skin nourishing cream

This hand cream is wonderful! It nourishes my dry hands and actually lasts quite some time! It has an exceptionally pretty aroma that isn't overpowering. It leaves just a tad bit more slickness after you get it ... put on but it doesn't last very long and soaks into your skin. I love it!

Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth!

This Weleda product truly feels like food for your skin. It moisturizes skin to leave it feeling soft and healthy without an oily residue. After even a few days using skin food regularly, i noticed a huge change ... in how my skin felt and looked. It even has a herbal and pleasant smell is very calming and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this product! Fantastic!

Moisturizes well, but didn't like the smell

This is a really good product if you need some extra moisture in your skin, and perfect to use in the winter time for dry skin. I have to say I have mixed feelings about it, it did dry quickly ... and moisturize really well but I felt it was a little too greasy (or maybe I just used too much) one of the things I didn't really like was the smell, it really bothered me. I do like that it's naturally based so it has good-for-you ingredients which is important for something you're using on your skin. Overall, it's not a product that I would use on a regular basis but I would suggest it someone who's looking for a natural product.

Love everything about this cream

I'm a loyal Weleda lover and this cream drives home everything I enjoy abou thte brand. This lightweight formula delievers amazing moisture, in a fresh scent, that isn't too potent! The cream itself is not heavy or greasy and I ... use it multiple times a day!

"Skin so soft"

I was looking for something that could keep my skin soft when I came across this great product called Weleda-Skin Food Light. This product can be used on your knees, elbows, and even heels. This is an all over body ... lotion that gets rid of unusually dry skin. It is a great moisturizer as well as keeping your skin looking beautiful. Would definately recommend.

Stephh1980

Really great lotion!

I really liked this lotion. It goes on well, and absorbs pretty quickly. It has a very nice, light �clean� scent, and it made my skin feel moisturized and healthy. I tried the �light� cream, and it was thick and ... heavy enough to make my dry hands feel happy and healthy. I also used it on my face and had no irritation or breakouts. It is a thick lotion, so I only used it on the areas of my skin that get overly dry - my cheeks mostly. This is a very luxurious cream, and I recommend!

Jenny8675309

Great!

I got this moisturizer in the mail and it�s great! I have dry skin in the winter and love lotions. The cream comes out rather thick which I like, because it stays right where I put it. Also it absorbs ... nicely into my skin and my skin loves it. My dry spots are disappearing and my skin is not irritated. I�m very pleased with this product.

Moisturizing!

Great moisturizer! Works well for dry skin during these cold and dry winter months. I�m always looking for a more natural moisturizer and Weleda does a great job of providing quality product with naturally healing ingredients!

Supermaxmama

Perfect

My skin can be very picky with what moisturizers it likes, It is sensitive yet can be oily at times. Weleda Light nourishing cream seems to do an excellent job for me. The scent is kind of herbal but ... I like it and find it soothing. I love that this product is free from parabens, phthalates, synthetic preservatives and fragrances! When reading the ingredients the first ingredient is water. I will continue to use this in my face it has become my favorite by far and my go to moisturizer.

Mamaroo

Amazing

I bought this a month ago as my hands get really dry in the winter and start to crack open but, since using this skin food cream my hands haven't cracked open. I love how it's all natural ingredients and ... not full of additives or harsh chemicals

Atcgrl

Good option

I used this in place of my usual product and while it works well I�m not sure I would switch. This is not to say it�s not good. It does almost everything it says it will do but my skin ... did have a little reaction to it initially. This may be normal for some when changing products. I did notice that my skin was a little drier using this (but to be fair I also have to consider the colder temperatures in my area contributing to the dryness). I think this would be better suited for me during the spring and summer months but I will continue to use it until it�s gone while modifying my regime a little

Hydrating

This cream is very hydrating which is a plus. Works great for a make up base. My skin feels moisturized and healthy after use. The texture is thick but melts quickly into my skin so only a dime size is ... needed for application. Another pro about this cream is that it is natural and plant derived.

Nesh1500

So far so good

This product is amazing! The smell not so great, smells like natural (nature) ingredients, which is an extra plus because it doesn�t smell like it has chemical ingredients in it. Any who, I totally recommend this product. It feels great ... on my face and doesn�t leave me feeling oily or dry. But it, you�ll love it!

I dont think Ill ever go back

So I have to say that after my last skincare product breaking me out I wasn't thrilled about trying another. Except my skin has basically been like the desert but without all the cracks and it has needed and wanted ... moisturizer for a couple of moons. So I tried this and I have to say I am ecstatic that I did and I don't think I'll ever go back to any of my old moisturizers again. I am in love . From the smell to the application . This lotion is lightly scented but it-lasts for awhile. Its a great morning or night time moisturizer and its not oil based which means no breakouts or clogged pores! It soaks in quickly but leaves my face feeling fresh not greasy. Id buy this as a gift for gift baskets or just for myself again. I'm looking forward to trying their other products. I love how its kept my skin clean and my skin glowing. I'm not wearing foundation in this picture.

Light weight

This item really does work. I have been using it for about 6 days and I do see a difference in my skin. It's winter and my skin does not look dull. There is a faint smell ... of medicine, but that is to be expected -- it's skin food. It's not greasy and I only use a dime size in the morning as a moisturizer. I have really enjoyed. I'm giving it 3 stars because of the smell.

Feels Amazing

Feels amazing on my skin. My skins looks and feels more hydrated. I always look for items that are not heavy on my skin. So I was thankful when I found this item. Great results with no side affects ... of any kind. Love to recommend products that have worked for me.

Wonderful

Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream Is my new best friend when it comes to my skin care regimen. I have acne prone skin and very large pores, so many face lotions make me break out or accentuate the flaws on ... my face. Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream Is a very delicate but fast acting formula it absorbs flawlessly and makes my skin look and feel healthy. I love that I don�t have to worry about breaking out and that it always leaves my face with a beautiful glow!

Weleda Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream is Amazing

I have dry skin, especially in the winter. Weleda's Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream instantly moisturized my face without leaving it greasy or heavily coated. It was light but effective. My skin instantly felt smoother and softer. ... I highly recommend this product!

I have some very dry patches of skin on my arms and legs. I have been using this product for almost a week and find that it really helps with the patches. It goes on very ... smoothly and is not oily.

Love it!

This feels so smooth on my skin. It�s not oily and absorbs quickly so there�s no sticky feeling after application. It doesn�t have a strong smell either which I like. My skin stayed moisturized, never felt Rilke it was drying ... out. I wish I had a larger tube! I�ll definitely be purchasing more.

Moisture bomb

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I�ve been using for approximately 2 weeks. So far I�ve noticed it�s intensely hydrating. I can really notice that it�s still on in the mornings when I get up. I ... don�t think I would use it during the day. It�s a very thin product but I do notice it on my skin. The scent is probably the one thing I don�t care for too much... although definitely not bad enough not to continue its use!

Imom08

Wonderful for winter skin

First off, I have been trying to use more natural products lately. I love that this is free from synthetic preservatives, fragrances, colorants, and mineral oil. I mainly use it on my face and I love the smell ... from the herbal blend of chamomile, calendula, and pansy. It's on the stronger side, but definitely not overwhelming. It absorbs super-quickly into my skin and isn't too heavy or greasy. My face can get dry and flaky in the winter, and this has brought such relief to my skin. Totally recommend!

5 out of 5 stars

Jd97

Nourishing cream!

This is a great companion to the original skin food product. I find that I can use this during the day on my dry, dehydrated skin - especially in winter time. It delivers great moisture without being overtly heavy and ... is a good base pre-foundation. And the fact that it does free from the yucky parabens and phthalates is a plus.

Works great

It�s gentle on skin and has no fragrance. I use it as a moisturizer on my face day and night. The bottle is also very nice sized! I love the green color and the texture. Thanks for letting me try ... this out.

Amazing!

I've been using this for about a week. My skin loves it! It absorbs right away and leaves my face feeling great but not oily. It's light and smells fantastic. I'd definitely recommend this to my ... friends and family.

Moisturizers skin greatly

My skin was tight, dry and itchy. After first use I could tell slight difference, but day after day my skin got softer and wasn�t as tight. This product actually words. I finally have soft beautiful skin and I love ... it!

Hike82

Wonderful Product

I�ve been using this product for a few weeks now and love it. It smells great, goes on smooth and keeps my skim hydrated without feeling greasy. I like to use it before applying make up in the morning and ... after I remove it at night. It soaks in well and even lasts on my hands after a washing or two. You can always tell a good product by how much you have to use and with this... barely a drop! I would definitely recommend this product.

Idieh74

Smells good enough to eat

At night after all the cleansing and moisturizing, I pat a very small amount of Skin Food on my marionette lines, my lips and upper lips and across the bone below my eyes and to the side of the eye ... on the crows feet, making sure not to get this too close to my eyes, and finally on the lines of my forehead. It makes a huge difference on my 41 year old, dry, sensitive skin. I would give this 10 stars if I could. I applied this at night before bed the first time and could see a difference the next morning. My skin is so dry that I can do the same thing in the morning and do on days when I don't have to immediately go somewhere as it takes a little bit of time to soak in on me. It comes out of the tube somewhere between a cream and an ointment, but seems to melt when you rub it between your fingers. I also love the smell and will keep using this product as long as it is available.

Great moisturizer

This is a great moisturizer. It keeps my skin nice and moisturized not greasy and no strong scent. Also it doesn�t wear off fast I�ll be purchasing more soon and would recommend this product to others.

Mskesh

Great for locking in moisture!

I'm trying to clean up my beauty routine a little bit and this is a good product that has fewer icky ingredients. Like the label says this is a very light, but creamy moisturizer that goes on smooth and absorbs ... nicely into the skin. It has a nice citrusy scent, which I personally love, but it does dissipate quickly. I like to use this immediately after a bath and it leaves my skin feeling so soft and hydrated. If you're looking for a more clean moisturizer that makes your skin feel soft and supple without harsh chemicals or sticky residues this is an excellent choice.

My skin feels so much better!

I have been using this for a little over a week now and it is amazing! It is light and soaks in well it does not feel oily or greasy. The smell is so refreshing and a little goes a ... long way. My hands feel so much better and softer now, and it is made of quality ingredients so no worries about scary chemicals.

Eklypze79

Weleda Skin Food

The directions on this product state to "apply whenever and wherever skin needs immediate moisture". I would not recommend this product on the face as it leaves a greasy residue and led to a breakout on my chin and forehead ... the day after using it. It did, however, seem like it immediately hydrated the rough, dry patches that were my initial intended target. It should probably just be labeled a little more judiciously and not state it is good "wherever".

Ddnlmathis

Amazing skin cream

I recieved this a few days ago and I am already impressed. It is a light plant extract nourishing cream that instantly hydrates skin without feeling greasy. The scent is chamomile, calendula, and pansy and its overly strong. I would ... reccomend this to anyone lookimg for a good skin cream.

Ctaylor86

Good for hand lotion

It�s small and convenient for traveling or in need of hand lotion. It�s thick and creamy and requires a few rubs to really sink into skin. It does smell good, like a citrus and flowers. At first, It kept my ... skin moisturized. But as the day went on, I�ve noticed I had to continue to reapply the lotion in order to keep my skin hydrated and soft.

Awesome

The skin food light is awesome!! Leaves me feeling very moisturized. Very light feeling, not to thick and greasy, which is great for the winter months! Smells great and makes me happy to put no my face ... knowing the ingredients are safe. BPA Free, Non -GMO, not tested on animals, Paraben free. I am all in!
