Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream

Great company and awesome products. I was looking to replace lotion from J&J that I no longer believe in (my opinion, the company is a fail with their practices & questionable ingredients). When I searched for organic lotion … voila! Weleda popped up. I have used Weleda products in the past and have been happy with the results, so I ordered three. This way I could try out which one would be suited for what. I will post this review on all three lotion/creams. Weleda Citrus Hydrating Body Lotion 6.8oz (label says Refreshing Body Lotion) – it’s amazing! It’s super light, a little goes a long way, has a wonderful citrus scent that also very light. I decided to keep this one at my desk. The pump dispenses the perfect amount and you only need a little bit. Lotion smooths on easily and absorbs into the skin nicely. This helps with all the hand washing and sanitizing, while using keyboard and shuffling paperwork. Even though it’s thin and light to apply, an hour later my skin still feels hydrated but no coating and does not feel greasy. A+ I would also say this would be a luscious after bathing application to wrap your skin with some heavenly loving. Weleda Nourishing Body Cream baby (2.5oz orange tube) - this cream is nice and greasy, smooths on with easy and lasts all day. I put it on my face and I love how it feels. In the evening it was still feeling soft and moisturized. Might not be the best on hands as it did track oils for a while. But this is how I like my facial cream, goes on super easy because it glides. Weleda Skin Food (green tube) – The skin food, is just that! It’s very stiff and very little is needed. Super yummy on the skin. I put it on the back of my hand when I first received package and it felt amazing. I put it on my face this morning, it takes some smoothing to get it everywhere. Even though it has oils, it is more solid and less gliding. But 4 hours later my skin feels just as soft and moisturized, normally it feels dry by now. I really like both the baby cream and this skin food … tomorrow I might put a little of each together and use on my face to get the benefits of the easy application of the baby cream as well as the nourishing from this one … it all boils down to personal preference and application site. Each has a light scent, which flies after a short amount of time. Even the body lotion I am using on my hands … no scent detected after a while. I have washed my hands recently and do not yet feel the need to reapply lotion. Loving each of these for specific reasons, all have organic ingredients and thus not putting questionable chemicals onto the largest organ of the body. Just one more thing as I continue to detox the unwanted elements that I have control over. I will be ordering more of these reviewed above … work, home, car etc.

Absolutely LOVE this cream! It has a light natural lavender scent and is very rich! I have extremely sensitive skin and have tried all sorts of products. Some of them sting even though they're marketed as suitable for sensitive skin. When I found this I was amazed! It goes on heavily but sinks in and never stings - quite the opposite. It's great for my arms and legs - sinks in but also leaves a protective layer & glow. It protects my skin superbly. I even use it on my face which is the most sensitive place; however you might not like the shine it causes. It is also comedogenic if used on your face. I honestly don't care about that because the protection I feel far outweighs that downside. It's not meant for your face anyway, so that'd probably be a non-issue for you!

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)

Love the product and have been using it for years. The new metal packaging makes it difficult to get all of the lotion out which is why it isn't 5 stars. A little goes a long way, it has a nice citrus smell, and I stay moisturized for a full day after one application and that's living in the dry desert.

I have used Weleda Skin Food for at least 10 years. It took me a bit to get used to the thickness, however it really works because it is so moisturizing. I am confident that Weleda products are quality and use many products daily. I enjoy the smell and my dermatologist gave me a glowing checkup because my skin was actually moisturized!! I appreciate the size and three of them so I can make sure I do not run out.

This cream is thick, but so hydrating. Too heavy for daily use, but I use it nightly before going to bed. If you put a small amount on your hand, then rub your hands together until the lotion is warmed, it is easier to apply to your fave. I’ve bought this multiple times.

Muy grasa pero para pieles muy secas es ideal

Chegou rápido, embalagem boa, da Amazon. Eu uso este creme da WELEDA há duas décadas, e todos comentam sobre a boa aparência de minha pele. A WELEDA é uma marca alemã antiga, cuja matéria prima é produzida segundo princípios antroposóficos, ou seja, os cremes de origem 100% vegetais são produzidas a partir de plantas sadias, orgânicas, em cultivos com outros segredos, que vale a pena conhecer (ver na página da WEB). Tudo que passamos na pele, ela absorve e joga na corrente sanguínea, eu não uso cremes que contenham petrolatos por este motivo. Recomendo este produto.

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 🙏🥰💯

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!

Weleda Skin Food ist kult. Ich bin verliebt in die Inhaltsstoffe und vor allem in die Wirkung. Nach vielen Jahren bin ich wieder zu ihr zurückgekehrt und glücklicherweise ist sie so gut wie ich sie in Erinnerung hatte, wenn nicht besser. Ich verwende sie als Nachtpflege für das Gesicht und nur selten am Tag, da sie extrem reichhaltig ist. Meine Haut fühlt sich fester, geschützt und zutiefst gepflegt an. Obwohl ich nicht zu Trockenheit neige, zieht sie problemlos ein und verursacht keine Unreinheiten. Allerdings: Es handelt sich um eine "vollgepackte", dichte Creme mit Lanolin (Wollwachs), Bienenwachs und Mandelöl, und ist daher SEHR dick. Nicht jede Gesichtshaut wird mit ihr klarkommen. Ich denke, dass es massiv hilft, wenn man seine Haut vor dem Auftragen entsprechend vorbereitet, nämlich: 1) gründliche Reinigung mit einem Waschprodukt seiner Wahl + warmem Wasser 2) leichte(r) Toner als Grundlage und eventuell Seren 3) etwas Wartezeit bis diese einziehen 4) dann die Skin Food Creme mit den Fingern erwärmen, bevor sie in die Haut einmassiert und eingeklopft wird. Es muss auch erwähnt werden, dass sie relativ stark parfürmiert ist. Ich finde den charakteristischen Duft toll und passend, aber reagiere auch nicht empfindlich auf Duftstoffe, also lieber aufpassen und vorher testen.
