This is definitely not for sensitive skin! It contains eucalyptus which is a known skin irritant, even in small amounts. I have very sensitive skin and a SA at Sephora recommended this so I bought it on a whim. It immediately burned my face and made it red. Since I had a bad reaction, I looked it up on beautypedia and sure enough it’s got a frowny face due to containing eucalyptus. Very frustrating that a company supposedly created for sensitive skin would use irritating ingredients.

Each winter, I develop a dime-size red dry patch on my left cheek that doesn't go away with normal moisturizer. I don't know if it is technically called eczema, but let's just say that it is more than the occasional dry skin that others experience. I got a sample of this from Sephora and figured I would try it out on the one spot. Since I applied sparingly, I got about a week's worth out of the sample and at the end of that time, my patch disappeared! I was flabbergasted since nothing else has been as effective. I will be buying this when winter rolls around again - most likely the tube and not the tub since I am a germaphobe.

OMG i love this stuff. My skin is dry, sensitive and flakey (thanks to retinol treatments) and i was looking for a soothing cream to put on at night under my erno lazlo. I went to my local sephora and decided to pick this up. I love the "medicinal" smell thanks to the eucalyptus oil in it and it absorbs well into the skin. In the morning my skin is nice a smooth and the flakes seems to be at bay. I love it so much, i decide to also use it in the morning before my moisturizer..although it may seem like overkill, i like to have a nice smooth, hydrating base before i put on my foundation. The only gripe I have is if i put on my Origins skin brightening serum then put on the cream, i get these beads that break off and leaves "crumbs" on my face. Other than that, it was $28 and it was well worth it.

I love this product. It made a huge difference in my skin and really helped with the dry skin I was experiencing. I noticed a difference in just one time , my skin is no longer dry and flaky. This product is a must have for me and I will continue to repurchase. A little goes a very long way , so the jar will last a long time. My only gripe is I wish it came in a tube intstead of a jar , it would be more sanitary. But performance wise , it does exactly as it says.

it was called the La Mer with fair price, and it is absolutely right! I can't believe it's so moisturizers, I use it before going to night, and my face feel very hydration in the morning in winter, and my face feel very smooth. Consideration of its good price, it is absolutely the product I will buy it again. Only, a little problem~ when I use other serum before it, I should wait for a while,then I can use the cream. Because if I use it immediately after the serum, it will "mud" on my face, that's bad~~

I buy this in the tube, not the tub, for the more sanitary packaging, as I use this on my face. I use this at night and the Daily Face Cream in the day, and it has solved my flaky cheeks/breakouts on the nose and forehead problem. I still get hormonal breakouts, but none related to this product.

I'm one of those people who don't look after my hands. I never wear gloves to garden, wash dishes or clean the car etc and my hands constantly pay the price. I've tried so many hand creams but they're all oily and don't sink in.
Not FAB Ultra Repair Cream! I was given a sample of this in my bellabox subscription and loved it so much I ordered a full sized product.
This cream is easily absorbed, sinks in quick and my hands love it. I've also noticed an improvement in my nail and cuticle condition since using it.
I took one lippie off because it doesn't have the best smell in the world and it's a little on the pricey side, but well worth it in my opinion-especially if you're like me and loathe putting hand cream on.
PS the smell tends to disappear once it's soaked in, and you can use the cream anywhere on your body :)

I really love this stuff, what a great brand. Every time Sephora has it listed as a choice for one of their free samples, I get one so I have a bunch of spare packets (I'm a Sephora junkie).
This cream is just so simple and basic. It's non-scented and medium in consistency. Sounds as bland as it gets but that's the beauty in it. No gimmicks, no harsh chemicals, no perfumes, no craziness. It's incredibly gentle and soothing, I like to use it after I've exfoliated or toned my face with lemon. Doesn't clog my pores or aggravate my cyclic cystic acne.
The only reason I haven't purchased it in full is because I have an entire tub of the Benefit Total Moisture Cream (another great one which also has radiant properties), and it's full so I don't need another face cream any time soon. I'm so impressed with the FAB line that I'm wanting to try their washes and serums though. Highly recomended for any skin type.

This has to be one of the best creams I've ever used and I dont know how i lived without it for so long. I have dry skin and LA heat makes it worse, beside most creams seem to make my skin burn on application and my skin would still flake. I used to use l'occtaine for its gentle products...but the cost is too high and the product too little. A 6 ounce tub for 30 bucks is great value for money and the quality of the product is brilliant.I love the fact that it is free of any parabens and allergens. As for the packaging I dont mind it. Infact this cream is a perfect base for a little experimentation. I pull out some into a seperate jar..mix in some vitamin c powder and some sea kelp bioferment (from skin actives.com)...and voila...i have my own (fresh every week) vitamin C marine based super amazing moisturizer. All the actives soak up into the skin effortlessly leaving my skin radiant. My skin has never looked better!!

I've had this for about a year and I do not like. I live in a very dry environment (Colorado) and my skin is often irritated due to overdoing it with my retin-A. This cream stings and doesn't really seem to have any lasting moisture. I've tried using occasionally as well as everyday and each time I still get a stinging sensation. I purchased this hoping it would be a nice soothing moisturizer but it is not. I do like the whipped creamy texture but that is about it.

I received this as a sample from Sephora and I love it! I applied it on my face (which is combination-oily but tends to be dehydrated during the winter) where it caused a temporary stinging sensation but did not irritate my skin; I also applied it on my hands, which left them very soft and smooth for hours. I love this cream's light and fluffly texture, and I love the fact that it is unscented. I will definitely repurchase this in future.

As someone who suffers from dry skin (especially around the cheeks and mouth), this has become my HG facial moisturizer, especially in winter. The cream has a fluffy, whipped texture which lets you spread it around without tugging on your skin. I use it primarily for my face, but it helps relieve dry skin anywhere on your body. It does smell a little earthy when you first apply it, but overall, it's totally fragrance-free. The eucalyptus oil in it can cause a little stinging sensation if you apply it over raw/cracked skin, but it generally fades away quickly.

Even though it's fluffy, this is not a light cream. This stuff is definitely heavier than its liquidy counterparts, and I wouldn't say that it completely disappears into your skin. It's definitely "there," even hours after application, but in the same way that a cozy sweater is always "there," protecting you from chills. For me, I never have to worry about flaking or itchy patches when I have this stuff on, and that's a huge plus.

Plus, you get a ton of product for a reasonable price. Using a small dollop twice a day, I was able to get about 8-months' worth of use from one tub (remember to use clean fingers!). I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who has oily skin, but if dry, itchy patches are something that plague you, then I would definitely give this a try!

I use Benzoyl Peroxide at night to treat my acne & it tends to make my skin really dry. Even with exfoliating & moisturizer my skin felt so so dry. It then got to the point where my skin was so dry but when I would look in the mirror I would look like an oily mess. So I had this unbelievably dry/oily skin that I just could not at all control. I went into Sephora & the sales girl gave me samples of this. I put it on that night after my Benzoyl Peroxide & by the next morning I could already feel less dry. I've been using it religiously for the past 2 week & I no longer have the extremely dry/oily skin anymore! My skin is less oily now also. This seriously is the best thing that has happened to my skin in a long time. I'm also prone to cystic acne & this has not triggered a breakout yet. I love it. continued >>

Went to Sephora because I've been breaking out. Been using Eucerin cream at night because my skin is really dry. Lady at Sephora told me that drugstore products have ingredients like petroleum (like Vaseline) and suggested I get this instead.
OMG! My skin started burning and getting red blotches all over. It hurt so much I had to rinse off. Then, I thought it was something else so I tried again the next night but on a smaller patch... same thing happened! Now, I still have some red patches on my face (3 days later).
I really wanted this to work... I guess I have to go back to my thick cream at night!

I purchased First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream after starting a rosacea treatment (Metrogel) that was severely drying out my skin. Never before had my skin been so dry and irritated, and the moisturizer that I was using at the time (Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream) wasn't relieving the dryness at all. This product was recommended to be by a fantastic SA at Sephora, and since a 6 ounce jar of this was cheaper than the 1 ounce jar of Clinique lotion that I had been using, I figured it was worth trying.
I am so glad that I tried this. My skin is extra-sensitive, so a lot of lotions burn when I apply them, but not the FAB Ultra Repair Cream! This stuff actually soothes my skin, and it completely got rid of the dryness that I was experiencing after just a few uses.
This has become my HG facial cream. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave my face feeling or looking greasy, and my makeup applies easily on top of it.
I live in a place that is hot and humid in the summer and cold and windy in the winter, so in the summer, I only use this at night, but in the winter, I use it as my day cream and night cream, since my skin gets extremely dry in the winter. My skin has looked and felt so much better since I started using this.
I've been using this for going on 7 months now, and I'm just now about to use up my first 6 ounce jar, which is currently $28 at Sephora--a true bargain, if you ask me.
I've read several reviews where people complain about the jar, but I see no problem with it. This lotion is a bit thick in texture, so a pump dispenser simply would not work with this lotion. I use a clean q-tip each time to dip the cream out of the jar, and that's perfectly hygienic, in my opinion.
I will gladly repurchase this as long as Sephora sells it. I purchased this cream for my dad, who also has rosacea, and he loves it just as much as I do. I highly recommend this to people who have dry, sensitive skin. I hope that they never discontinue this product!

I'll start with the positives. This is a gentle, affordable moisturizer with a great texture that absorbs beautifully. That being said putting words like "Ultra, Repair and Intensive" on the jar is a bit of a stretch. This is not all that hydrating at all. It's fine to wear under a tinted moisturizer, but that's about it. Forget wearing this at night if you have dry skin. I wanted to love this cream, but I'm disappointed. I will not re-purchase.

I'm always searching for my HG winter moisturizer to combat my wretchedly dry skin. I've been using this a week so far & I think I have a winner! I have acne prone skin that tends to get super dry in the T-zone and thus far....no breakouts and greatly improved skin. My dry skin isn't pilling up like an old sweater under my tinted moisturizer! It's just the right thickness, not runny, not greasy, and sinks into my skin nicely. I am very pleased with my results. continued >>

I have sensitive, acne prone skin. I used this when I was on topical meds from my derm and it never caused me to break out. I continue to use it whenever my skin feels even slighlty tight. It is moisturizing without being greasy or making my skin super shiny/oily looking.

I bought this product from Sephora and had high hopes for it since it has rave reviews and good ingredients (No parabens, fragrance or harsh chemicals, and it contains antioxidants). Unfortunately this was a huge let down for me. I really don't understand all the hype. I don't have sensitive skin at all and this stuff kind of burned and did absolutely nothing for my face or body. Both my mother and I were using it and had the same response. Actually, it made my under eye area look more dried out and wrinkled. It also didn't quite moisturize my hands (CeraVe does a great job with this as well as my beloved EVCO). I found it to be overpriced and quite useless. The only positive effect it had was that it absorbed into my skin fairly quick.

I was really excited to try this product after reading all the hype, and I am liking it so far. I got the jar of it at Sephora for $28 about 2 almost 3 months ago and am half way through it already. I just use a very small amount on my face in the mornings and I use it ALOT for my dry winter hands. I think I love it most for that, I am a little on the I think it's a bit too much for my face side. I think I want to try the Daily Moisturizer next, something tells me I'll love that. I do love how this stuff is fragrance free and has no parabens. And the texture is amazing! If I would repurchase, I would def. get the stuff in the tube rather than the jar. Overall, good buy!
