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: Skin Food Original and Skin Food Light are safe and effective moisturizers for facial skin and can even provide a base under make-up, or be applied on top as a highlighter. As the name suggests, Skin Food Light is a lighter version of Skin Food Original. Depending on your skin type and usage occasion, you can choose between Skin Food Original (nourishes dry to very dry skin) and Skin Food Light (nourishes dry skin, quickly absorbed and ideal for on the go or during warm weather conditions). Skin Food Original can even be used as a thick and nourishing moisturizer or as an overnight or 10-minute mask.
submitted byWeleda Customer Service - 5 years agoBrand expertA: 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.

A: Hi Le! Thank you for noticing and sharing your thoughts! While our packaging has a fresh new look, I assure you the recipe you love remains the same. The care and quality behind our products haven't changed a bit, but the changes you see in the ingredient list are likely due to updated INCI labeling regulations.

Q: Is this moisturizer only for nighttime or can I wear it in the daytime
submitted by hannah - 8 months ago

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!

Marissd2311 - 2 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 - 3 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.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We are sorry it wasn't the best match as a face cream but, we're thrilled it helped soothe your eczema flare-ups! It is a very luxurious cream and really shows it magic during winter. Your feedback and support mean the world to us! We appreciate you!

Loving the Hydration, Not So Much the Scent
4 out of 5 stars
Ashley - 8 months 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.

This is a nice moisturizer and it helps to hydrate and give a beautiful glow to my skin. A little goes a long way for my face, I have combo skin that tends to be more oily in the warmer months. My skin feels soothed and nourished after applying. I think this product would work very well for me in the fall/winter months. #gqfavoritefinds

Not sure yet - 10 months ago
I received a tester size of this product free in exchange for an honest review. Well, I can honestly say it is very moisturizing! I will be keeping this baby in my car for emergencies when my hands/elbows get cracked and dry. It smells light and clean, nothing offensive. My only negative comment is that it seems to take a while to sink in, I felt like I was rubbing forever. I used this on my toes where I have calluses and rough patches, and it has already softened those up after just a few days.

Intense Nourishment, Great for Dry Spots
4 out of 5 stars
Lauren - 10 months ago
I've been using the cream for a while now, and it is wonderfully intensive in its nourishment. It's fantastic as a body moisturizer, particularly on dry areas like elbows and hands. The cream is a bit on the greasy side, a less oily formula would be an improvement. Be cautious if you use it as a primer, it may cause congestion in oilier areas. In summary, it's a great, thick cream, but might not suit all skin types.
