Weleda

This is a daily use product in my routine. It is a bit heavy/greasy for use of the entire face, but that's just personal preference. I use it under my eyes for a very hydrating and effective eye cream. It works well under makeup and maintains the moisture throughout a full day. Most eye creams tend to dry up about half way through the day and my fine lines become very visible, whereas this just lasts. I also dab a bit of this on my lips when I am getting ready. It doubles as an effective treatment when I have sunburn or very dry patches (such as dermatitis etc.) Wonderful product.

I decided to get the light version for my face based on the good reviews of the original cream version of skin food. Had high hopes, but this really is one of the worst lotions I have ever tried on my face. I have dry acne prone skin, and this massively clogged my skin. The texture is also greasy and does NOT sink into your skin. I do have to say that my skin did feel moisturised for longer. Anyhow, I could see within 1-2 days a lot of new blackheads (that eventually a few got inflamed and became large pimples). Stopped putting it on and eventually the blackheads stopped popping up. A few months later when my skin was feeling drier than usual, I decided to use this again, with the same results of new blackheads on my chin and nose. Since it wasn't that cheap I then decided to use it as a hand cream, which wasn't great because it really doesn't soak into your skin at all and you're left with greasy looking hands which transfer (like oil spots) on to things you touch. Avoid this one. Maybe the cream one is formulated better? I don't know but I'm literally scarred by this lotion and don't want to find out.

Plastic package is not ideal but the overal product is great. I love the natural scent and how it soaks into my dry skin! Suitable for use on the face and body. Available in Sprouts and some Target stores!
