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: 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!
submitted byMo - 5 years agoA: It is my preferred night cream. I highly recommend it for mature very dry skin. I even use it during the day. The only thing I’ve been able to use that gives me relief.

Q: Is this moisturizer only for nighttime or can I wear it in the daytime
submitted by hannah - 1 year 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 - 2 years 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

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: Where is the expiration date written on this product?
submitted by Mimi - 7 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!

this moisturizer cream has helped with my dry spots I highly recommend it! it is thick but once you rub it starts to melt. They do have a light weight option but I prefer this one feels more hydrated. I have combination skin and my husband oily and we both really enjoy this moisturizer

Ada - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I’ve been using this for a couple of years now, and it’s hands down the best for really dry skin. It replaced all the pricier moisturizers I used to rely on, nothing compares. My skin drinks it up and the glow it gives me is unreal. It leaves my face so smooth and hydrated, I get that glass skin look every time. It also wears great under makeup, I love the entire Skin Food line! Don’t stop making it please.

Kelly I - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
My face and hands love this cream. My hands can get really dry, really fast and it hurts. A lot of times I have to put lotion on them and even the ones that claim to be dermotologist recommeneded or safe for sensitive skin have been known to hurt or sting. This one does not do that at all. It is calming and moisturizing. I layer it on at night and it's like a soft blanket on my knuckles and wrists where can get especially dry. It feels cool to the touch and is thick at first but melts right inot my skin. I even use it as a second layer on top of my regular moisturizer in the colder months, as well as a base layer on my lips at night. It really works wonders and can be used all over. It's the holy grail I just can't live without!

Marissd2311 - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
I love this product, it is my go to winter face cream. Once the heat kicks on my skin dries out so badly. This is incredibly thick so it needs to be warmed in your fingers or I like to mix with a few drops of rosé oil. It takes a bit to soak in but is well worth it. It does have a bit of a citrus fragrance which could bother some people with sensitive skin.

lc - 9 months ago
I got this product initially to use as a face moisturizer but this is a very rich, thick cream and my acne-prone skin hated this. Not wanting to waste the product, I began using it on my hands and after a few days I noticed this cleared up the eczema patches I had on my palms. I now reach for this stuff anytime I feel a flare up coming on. It's truly so nourishing and the scent is pleasant enough. I will sometimes spot treat dry patches on my face with this as well (especially during the winter months!), but unfortunately was just too heavy to use on the whole face. Still really glad I bought this and will likely repurchase! The bottle seemed a little small at first but because it is so thick and creamy it has lasted me several months.

Loving the Hydration, Not So Much the Scent

Ashley - 1 year 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.
