Skin Food

UPDATE - initially loved this very thick and occlusive cream. I was using a new Retin-A formulation (compounded with niacinamide) that caused the apples of my cheeks to flake like nobody’s business. I went through several different creams, and this put an end to the flaking within a few days. I started using it on my entire face at night and it was going swimmingly, until I became very sensitive …Read more

I have sensitive mature skin that is prone to dehydration. I love to put this on before I go to bed as a sort of night mask. As others have mentioned it is very thick and a little greasy but I find if I use just a small amount it is great. I put some on my finger and rub it with my fingertips to warm it up and loosen up the consistency then pat it on my face gently. Sometimes I have to do …Read more

If you have skin as dry as a crocodile, you may really like this. It's super super thick and waxy and sticky. This means it's extra nourishing but it also means that if you have just normal-dry skin, you really don't need it and it's going to take literally 2 hours to sink in. There is no way you can really use this on your face in the morning if you want to layer anything on …Read more

I need to start out by saying that I used this as a facial moisturizer, I have dry skin and I use retinol which makes this more evident. I also have skin that is prone to clogging. I have to say I love this stuff.

The texture of this is very thick and balm-y. It is a little bit hard to spread, probably because of the beeswax in it, but it is also this ingredient that creates a …Read more

I had to look up and read what this product does because the texture is so very different from a Moisturizer, I had to find out exactly what it did. The Product is very thick/ Heavy, it is not smooth to spread. It claims to Moisturize well on the Face, Elbows and feet. Now the Product makes sense because of the Texture, a bit Similar to a Vaseline. This has a bit of an Oily Texture and you can …Read more

In a few short weeks, this stuff seems to have saved my skin.

I'm early 30's and never had problem skin prior to the last 6-8 months or so. I made the mistake of changing up a few items in my skincare routine - I don't usually have reactive skin so I wasn't too worried. HUGE MISTAKE. After figuring out the culprit(s), my skin started to improve but had awful …Read more

Fantastic stuff for very dry skin. Lifesaver!
I use it as a mask, primer, makeup remover and more.
What a gem!
My skin was in terrible shape after a sunburn. This helped like nothing else: after 3 days all the redness was gone and it looked tan and healthy again!

overall: 9/10

This is a solid winter moisturiser for dry skin. I would avoid if you have combo-oily skin, as this cream is very thick and heavy. It has a similar texture to German formula Nivea Creme, but smells much nicer, like oranges. I slather this on before bed as it's too thick to wear under makeup. It's not super cheap but not expensive either - $23 AUD for 75 ml. I …Read more

I was using the Nivea soft moisturizing crème, and I thought that nothing could beat it until I bought this moisturizer! It is fantastic I could see results after a few days, it moisturizes really well, it has an incredible scent, like food maybe that’s why the name is “skin food.” I know that you can’t eat it, but I would put it on my bread if I could!

It helped me with my acne which I got from another crème which I bought recently, so it’s good for that as well, I guess. It is a little greasy, and I wouldn’t use it under my makeup; I probably would go with the lighter version which I ordered right away!

It has natural ingredients, and I watched a Youtube video from Weleda they do have their own farm, and everything looks so lovely and clean, organized. I …Read more

LOVE this moisturizer. I mainly use it at night over my face oil (herbivore botanicals emerald). I warm it up in my hands and then tackle the driest parts first (cheeks, chin) and then spread everywhere else, including my neck and chest. I wake up every morning with glowy skin thanks to this. I rarely use it during the day as it’s a bit thick, but if I want a bit of extra glow I add a tiiiiiiny …Read more
