Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Body Cream 2.5 Fluid Ounce, Plant Rich Hydrating Moisturizer with Pansy, Chamomile and Calendula

5 stars because I'm optimistic and genuinely enjoy the scent and formulation of this product, along with the company being a B company! Otherwise, I am still evaluating how I feel about this product.Pros: this cream is multi-purpose, and at a great price. You can use it as a hand cream, a lip balm, a face primer for eyeshadows and makeup. It is very thick and rich. I have been using it as a daytime moisturizer, ya know, for science. My boyfriend comments on how my skin glows after applying it, so I guess that's something. I would feel more confident making this product a regular staple in my skincare routine if there were verified studies out there that measure effectiveness on moisture, wrinkles, etc.Cons: This product is so THICK that it must be applied to facial skin very slowly, after warming it in your hands, otherwise it pulls the skin which can contribute to wrinkles.Lack of scientific results vs media hype about this product contributes to my skepticism. Ok, celebrities use it, that's nice. I'll keep testing it out in the meantime.

As a professional makeup artist, I love this product. It’s a thick, creamy consistency and smells like essential oils. It’s great for people with normal or more dry skin. I find that this product makes my skin appear very glowy and healthy. I love the way it hydrates and makes my skin shine. I use this product often on my clients and every day on myself.

I love this "skin food"! It is a cream, and I use it on my forearms because my skin is so thin, and I bruise and tear easily. I would highly recommend it, and it smells wonderful. I am getting ready to order 3. You must rub it in slowly because it is so thick and creamy.

I love this skin care cream/ointment. I say ointment bc in the beginning I thought it was truly an ointment. However, as my skin absorbed it, it just sort of melted into my skin leaving it soft and moisturized. It's quite amazing. I wear it under makeup and sometimes as a nighttime moisturizer. I read about this product in an article about Carrie Underwood. According to o the article, she has used it for a long time and loves it. Glad I read the article bc I really like it too. It takes a little getting used to but well worth the process.

First off, I don’t know what to think about this product. It’s more of an “experience” than a moisturizer. I went online and was looking for comparable products to Creme de La Mer. Someone’s blog recommended this as the number 2 dupe. I spent quite some time just trying to figure out what it is, or does. After my first application, my dog sniffed me for about two hours. Clearly we were both intrigued and trying to figure this out. Good? Bad? I don’t know. You decide. I’ll post what I liked and didn’t like.1.) The Smell-has a strong smell of mineral oils with a slight residual beeswax smell and some other undertones which I can’t figure out. Overall I would say the smell is oily or medicine-y (making up words LOL). If you are sensitive to smells at all, this is not a good product for you. You’re not going to put this on and feel fresh and smell pretty. Consider this more like a therapeutic treatment.The good thing, there’s no added artificial fragrance. You are really smelling the natural ingredients, strong as they are.2.) It’s oily/greasy. The first little bit that came out of the tube had A lot more oil around it then did the rest of the contents of the tube. Do not let this freak you out. I imagine some of the oil floats to the top of each tube. When you initially rub the product in, it is shiny and greasy from the natural oils. If you continue to rub through this, you will then get to a texture that feels soft and has somewhat of a beeswax feel. This is where we talk about the benefit of this product. As you rub the natural oil’s into your skin, it will then be sealed and locked in by a barrier of beeswax. If you can get past the strange smell and weird texture at first., and can appreciate what this is doing for your skin, you will like this product.That being said, this product is best used as an intense nightly moisturizer. A little goes a long way. The oily, greasy consistency allows it to spread nicely covering a lot of your skin easily. I would not recommend wearing this product on your face as a daily moisturizer or underneath your make up.For the price, and the benefit for your skin, this is a good buy. Just do not plan on this as a daily moisturizer, which is what I thought I was getting.

This review was not sponsored in any way, just my 100% honest experience & reaction to the product.AMAZING!! I’ve suffered with dry skin on my face & dealing with full body Eczema all my life (32 years), and I’ve used many products over the years to try to combat my dry skin issue, particularly on my face. With my upcoming wedding in 3 weeks, I needed to NOT have dry, flaky skin pieces showing through in random places under my makeup. I was skeptical about this stuff because usually things that are scented really irritate my skin…..but NO!! I put this on my face for the first time a few weeks ago & it felt like my skin was drinking water!! No burning, no itching, just 100% hydration!!!! The smell is very enjoyable as well! Smells like Chamomile & mint best I can describe. I was so surprised by this product and how thorough & long lasting the moisturizer lasts.I have not yet tried it on the rest of my body, but I have put it on the creases of my arms & backs of my knees. This will be a product I buy for LIFE no doubt!!!A must have if you have dry skin & need something that will give your face/skin moisture all day long!

Smells kinda weird to me but I like it, the consistency is thick but not to thick to wear I feel like I’m suffocating. I have normal to oily skin and it can be sensitive depending on what the ingredients.
