Best hand cream!

Love how it nourishes my hands! It’s a bit greasy for the first 2 mins while it penetrates into the skin getting the job done! Nice light fragrance. Completely recommend!

Best moisturizer that I have used, but

Please if you could have this moisturizer in a jar. I end up cutting the tube when I can't get any more moisturizer out to use the rest. Otherwise, do not change the ingredients. Love this product

Amazing cream

This cream actually makes my skin feel like it is working on the dryness; it feels softer and nourished.

Best moisturizer- need packaging options!

This is the best moisturizer. I wash my hands often at work and it saves them. I wish it came in a pump style bottle. That would be so convenient.

BEST MOISTURIZER EVER!!!

Seriously this moisturizer is AMAZING! I love how natural it is and that it actually works! For dry winters in Chicago it is life changing! Also works great as a primer under foundation, I actually ditched primer all together! PS ... if you use tretinoin or are starting this stuff will make a big difference!

Incredible product, but too small and needs tub

I would buy this product overany other hands down for my full body if it came in a larger size and tub. Keep the exact ingredients, increase the size, make the price commensurate, and I would be thrilled!

Great Product

I love this cream SO much. Just wish they'd package in a glass jar. Once it gets down toward the bottom, I always have to cut the tube in half to get to the last drop.

The only thing that has worked to heal my wife's hands

My wife has had such dry skin on her hands that the skin would crack and bleed. She had some sores that would not close and heal for months or in some cases even longer. Over the past ... 20 years she has tried anything she could find including prescription lotions from the dermatologist, however nothing has worked...UNTIL NOW. I bought a tube of the Skin food as a gift for her to try. She has used it daily starting a few weeks before X-mas. The thick calluses have softened and thinned, and the open wound cracks have healed! This is truly a game changer for her and we could not be more thankful for finding this product. Hopefully it continues to heal her hands and she can one day soon experience pain free skin.

If this face cream was an ice cream flavor I'd order it.

This is a wonderful product, I only wish no one but me knew about it, so the prices didn't go up.

Mega Moisture

When my daughter bought this and I tried it I was amazed at the hydration on my dry, chapped hands! It is ultra moisturizing and stays on the skin a long time unlike others that evaporate within seconds. ...

sweet skin product

I used to use this cream as a child and recently started using it again. The smell is fantastic, fresh and upbeat. I kind of miss the old style of packaging (non plastic tube) but the formula is slightly magical, ... my hands are thanking me!

Good Product

This was a good product! Be forwarned if you have greasy skin this may not be for you. I put sunscreen on and put this on later and it left my skin too shiny for my liking. I ended up ... taking most off with a kleenex and my skin was still greasy. If you put this on without any moisturizer it would be perfect, and a little goes a long way!

Great for winter!

Living in Minnesota and then also visiting desert areas a lot, I find this to be the absolute best and hydration. I also like to use a little on my cheeks for a bit of a glow. Generally I use ... this at night after my Retin A.

hydrating & moisturizung AF!

i bought randomly at target becuase they were all out of my usual sheamoisture face lotion & i have been searching for a heavy duty face moisturizer & this is it, folks! my face gets sooo dry from a ... combo of mn winters & weather, having a wood burner & boiler as our houses main source of heat, & just my crappy dry skin. it goes on kind of thick & pasty but it is oh so hydrating. i just realized they do have a face lotion/cream line & i will try those eventually but so far this is working perfectly for my dry face. i have worn underneath my make up as well with zero issues, so far.

Containers awfully small

I like the product but you barely get any! And I think I got the larger size…. It’s about the side of 2 fun-sized candy bars.

This is the best hand lotion (and great for dry faces after a winter day outside). Its amazing for super dry skin

Ashley

Amazing!

This stuff is amazing! I used a different high dollar moisturizer & then they changed the formula so I returned it. Then stumbled across this & I’m SO happy I did! I love the smell & love how thick it ... is. Get it you will not regret!

It’s ok

A bit too greasy for me. I feel like it sits on top of my skin too much. Would use at home or at night in winter, but wouldn’t want to put product on top.

Ruth

Not as expected

This is a thick, waxy cream that doesn’t absorb very well or leave my skin that moisturized. It is also difficult to spread on the skin. Also I don’t like the use of lanolin. Will not purchase again, ... unfortunately. This was a miss for me.

Love this product!

A couple of medical issues have left my face with extremely dry skin. Skin Food is the first product that has addressed this problem. My skin is softer and less dry for the first time in a long time.

Excellent--wish "fragrance" were not added

Hydrates face well, but wish components of the "fragrance" were listed (I get asthma from jasmine, etc.). Better yet, omit them from the formula.

Nothing Special

I have not found this product to be any better than a few others which have the same somewhat sticky residue left on whatever body part it is applied.

Game Changer!

This ultra rich and potent moisturizing cream absorbs quickly, hydrating your skin for hours and hours. It provides a barrier locking moisture in! At night I use it around my eyes and around the mouth. It's the best!

My Holy Grail!!

I have dry skin and all other lotions and moisturizers make my skin look flat. But Weleda’s original moisturizer plumps up my skin and gives it a dewy, refreshed look while hydrating it with its rich potent texture. Definitely worth ... every penny

Would love to have it in a jar

I love this cream, using it on my cuticles and feet. But, I would love to see it offered in a jar. The tube is difficult to squeeze.

Great so far!

I just received my full-size Skin Food last week after being impressed with a gifted sample size. I'm only using it on my crepey forearms and hands right now, where it really helps, but expect I will use it ... much more in the future. After reading reviews, I'm going to try it next on the dry, flaky skin over my eyes.

Incredible

This product feels like the perfect cream to put on my face right before bed after a long day…..like tucking my skin in at night. It’s luxurious and there is just no better way to put it.

So Far So Good

This is probably the 20th bottle of cream I have tried since my beloved face cream was discontinued 4 years ago. I have wasted so much money on products. I have extra dry skin and have been searching for ... a new moisturizer. I typically wear night cream during the day. I've only been using this for 5 days now and so far so good. It's rich and creamy and has a nice texture and smell to it. I'm now just waiting for people to tell me how great my skin looks (ha!)

Desert Oasis for skin

I live in very dry high desert of west Texas and if this came in a gallon jar I’d bath in it. It’s the best thing I’ve ever used!

Finally found something for my eczema

This cream has done wonders for my severe eczema, especially around the eyes. I tend to have drier skin in the winter and my eyes get irritated with anyone other moisturizer. This helps keep my skin hydrated and smooth.

Incredible

This is some of the best face cream I’ve ever used on my face. I have sensitive, dry skin and I’m always on the hunt for a deep moisturizer. I have tried just about everything you can name and ... I usually use very high end creams - but not anymore! Weleda Ultra Rich Cream can not be beat! At night I massage it in my face and I wake up with calm, luminous and soft! It’s incredible!

Fountain of youth

I'm 55 years old with dry skin (especially in the cold months) Skin Food nourishes and moisturizes and gives my skin that dewy summer look. Yes, amazing for my face. Can't live without it!
