Q: Is this specifically for use on the body only? Is it okay to use it as a night cream?
submitted by Lisa - 5 years ago
A: Skin Food Original and Skin Food Light are safe and effective moisturizers for facial skin and can even provide a base under make-up, or be applied on top as a highlighter. As the name suggests, Skin Food Light is a lighter version of Skin Food Original. Depending on your skin type and usage occasion, you can choose between Skin Food Original (nourishes dry to very dry skin) and Skin Food Light (nourishes dry skin, quickly absorbed and ideal for on the go or during warm weather conditions). Skin Food Original can even be used as a thick and nourishing moisturizer or as an overnight or 10-minute mask.
submitted byWeleda Customer Service - 5 years agoBrand expertA: I find it to be quite greasy so I, as an oily-combo skin person, would not be able to wear it during the day. However, it's the most amazing night cream and eye cream I've ever used. If you have tried heavy occlusive creams and still felt "dehydrated" then this is for you! A little goes a long way. While I see they answered and said it gets absorbed quickly, I do not have that experience, which is actually why I like this product so much. Good luck!

Q: Is this moisturizer only for nighttime or can I wear it in the daytime
submitted by hannah - 5 months ago
A: Great question! Skin Food Ultra Rich Cream is a multi-use product that can be used day and night-whenever and wherever dry skin needs it most. Additionally, many celebrities and their makeup artists use Skin Food as a makeup primer and highlighter for an all day glow!

Q: is this considered as facial toner? or what would this be used as in my facial routine?
submitted by jjjjj - 11 months ago
A: Hey Crystal, Great question! The Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream is not a facial toner. It is the ultimate whole-body moisturizer for dry, rough skin. Apply this all over after cleansing and washing the skin.

Q: How is this product sealed upon purchase? Tube sealed?
submitted by Pat - 4 years ago
A: Most tamper evident packaging is used for ingestibles or instances when it's difficult to tell if any of the product has been used. If you ever purchase a Weleda product that you suspect has been tampered with, we ask that you immediately return it to the place of purchase.

Q: Is this tested to be non-comedogenic, i.e. is it supposed to not clog pores? Thanks!
submitted by M - 6 years ago
A: Thank you for your question. Skin Food has not been tested for its comedogenic effects.

Q: Can you use this on the face?
submitted by yei - 6 years ago
A: Yes. I watched a video we’re a dermatologist use it for her skin routine. I just bought some today.

Q: Where is the expiration date written on this product?
submitted by Mimi - 6 years ago
A: On mine, it is actually imprinted on the back of the tube, all the way at the top on the crimp toward the right side. Since it is an imprint rather than writing or an ink stamp, it is difficult to see at first glance. Hope this helps!

Loving the Hydration, Not So Much the Scent
4 out of 5 stars
Ashley - 5 months ago
This is going to be a positive review because the ultra-rich cream truly hydrates the skin. It's very moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling super soft. However, the scent could be improved. It's not terrible, but it's not my favorite. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product, and I would recommend to anyone in need of intense hydration.

First, I'd like to say that I adore this cream. Its versatility is impressive - it can even be used as a makeup primer. This is a major selling point for me and saves me from having to buy a separate product. By incorporating this cream into my routine, my skin feels nourished and prepared for makeup. It's truly a prime choice for skincare enthusiasts like myself.

This is a nice moisturizer and it helps to hydrate and give a beautiful glow to my skin. A little goes a long way for my face, I have combo skin that tends to be more oily in the warmer months. My skin feels soothed and nourished after applying. I think this product would work very well for me in the fall/winter months. #gqfavoritefinds
*Tester Review*

Not sure yet - 6 months ago
I received a tester size of this product free in exchange for an honest review. Well, I can honestly say it is very moisturizing! I will be keeping this baby in my car for emergencies when my hands/elbows get cracked and dry. It smells light and clean, nothing offensive. My only negative comment is that it seems to take a while to sink in, I felt like I was rubbing forever. I used this on my toes where I have calluses and rough patches, and it has already softened those up after just a few days.
Nourishing Cream for Soft, Supple Skin

Maria - 7 months ago
There are a few reasons why I really like this cream. The intensive nourishment it provides is amazing. It instantly makes my skin feel softer and more supple. However, I wish the formula was a little less greasy. All in all, I would recommend this product for anyone in need of deep skin hydration.

Intense Nourishment, Great for Dry Spots
4 out of 5 stars
Lauren - 7 months ago
I've been using the cream for a while now, and it is wonderfully intensive in its nourishment. It's fantastic as a body moisturizer, particularly on dry areas like elbows and hands. The cream is a bit on the greasy side, a less oily formula would be an improvement. Be cautious if you use it as a primer, it may cause congestion in oilier areas. In summary, it's a great, thick cream, but might not suit all skin types.

Deeply moisturizing! At first i didnt like it bc i found it harder to rub in than expected. Now i just rub just a drop between my fingers to warm it up before putting it on my face. A little goes a long way. It makes you glowy and skin supple.

I would highly recommend this product! Its moisturizing ability is fantastic and leaves my skin feeling soft and supple. It absorbs right into your skin and doesn't leave a greasy feel.

Landyn - 7 months ago
This cream has been wonderful for my skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft and supple, which I absolutely adore. One thing that could be improved though, is the ingredient list. It would be nice to see more natural ingredients. Also, the packaging could be better. Regardless, it's a good product that I'm happy to use daily.
