Q: Is this specifically for use on the body only? Is it okay to use it as a night cream?
submitted by Lisa - 3 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 - 3 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: How is this product sealed upon purchase? Tube sealed?
submitted by Pat - 2 years ago

Q: Is this tested to be non-comedogenic, i.e. is it supposed to not clog pores? Thanks!

Q: Can you use this on the face?
submitted by yei - 4 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 - 5 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!

Love it! I’ve purchased multiple times in store and online. I have sensitive skin and it moisturizes without any issues. Has a light smell. Very thick, so you don’t need a lot. I gently pat it into my face. Will keep buying!

Can STOP a sunburn!

Would recommend
Justme - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
This stuff is amazing for everyday dry skin (even my clinically dry skin). The real magic is that is can stop a sunburn in its tracks! If you miss a spot or your kid “forgets” sunscreen slather this on after a cool bath. It’s sticky but will deeply hydrate & replace the crucial skin oil! Will stop the peeling & blisters if you get it on right away. Can’t gatekeep this one… Vacation saver for sure.

Not hydrating on its own, but effective
4 out of 5 stars
cocobbt - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
Some people say this cream is hydrating but it’s not. It’s much more of a thick skin sealant and has to be on top of an actual moisturizer to lock moisture into the skin. That being said, I like to use this product in the winter time to protect my skin and it does it well, but in the warmer weather I find it too thick and uncomfortable. The glow is also really nice. The scent is fine as someone who enjoys essential oils and fragrances and I don’t find that it irritates my eyes or skin.
LOVE IT

I LIVE by this stuff. Best moisturizer I’ve ever used & the moisture lasts all day. That being said, since it’s so thick (almost clay-like) you do have to use quite a bit of the product to spread it properly, but once it’s on it’s ON and you’ll be ✨ GLOWING ✨ 10/10

TKU - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
I love this cream so much! I am probably on my fourth or fifth bottle already. I use it every night after my moisturizer and oil for an extra layer of Moisture and as a form of slugging. it is very thick so a little goes a long way making this bottle last a while. I highly recommend especially in the colder months I’m a dog walker so being outside every single day makes my skin a little more sensitive this always calms my skin.

I loved this for the eczema on my hands. I started using it for the dry patches on my face and it made my face itch and caused little whiteheads to pop up everywhere. It’s super rich and great for dry skin but I don’t recommend it for the face.
