LOVE the cream, hate the metal tube. I've mangled the spout and the cap wont screw on. And the creases in the tube bendy points are leaking. I'm transferring it to another container from now on....

I bought this after devleoping some rough, dry skin on my cheeks and figured that it would be useful during the cold New England months. I typically have pretty normal skin, a breakout every once...

This is a wonderful cream for dry patches and improving skin texture. Price is ok, not too expensive, not cheap either. BUT what bothers me the most is the fact it contains cholesterol, which is a...

I love this product. I would never use it as a daily moisturizer because, franky, it stinks (I'm not a fan of strong natural herbal scents) but it works so well. I have really dry skin, it's...

Based on reviews and recommendations, I purchased this for use on my combination, acne-prone skin. What a terrible idea. Not only did it fail to moisturize the dry patches at all, it gave me...

This is a very nice product with amazing healing properties. I use it a lot on my hands, my eyes, my lips, my feet and when I cut myself. It makes wounds heal faster and lets red spots...

I've been using Skin Food as a face moisturizer for the past 2 to 3 years. I have sensitive skin and this product moisturizes like no other and does not cause breakouts. It is too heavy for under...

Not a bad product but I don't think I would re-purchase, mostly because I find it very hard to spread and I have to tug at my skin while applying! It's not very emollient at all. I much prefer...

This product is okay but nothing special-which i'm suprised at (because of all the celebrity hype about this product). I like the thick, greasy and creamy texture of this- it feels intensely...

Great stuff! Yes, it is heavy and greasy, so you can't just put it on right before applying foundation, but when I use it and it settles into my skin, my face is sooo soft. I have lost the...

This cream is no joke. It's thick to the point of being gross. It is thicker than most ointments, but an opaque, sticky, hard to spread balm texture. It smells strongly like a gin and tonic. I...
