Weleda Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream

Soooo nourishing! Really love this product. Applies easily, goes on smoothly. Their regular moisturizer feels a little too heavy for me, but this is lighter. My skin glows up nicely, and feels really soft. I trust this brand -- excellent quality, a fantastic price, and definitely worth buying a few -- one for the gym bag, one for the purse, one for the bathroom. Highly recommend!

I love this moisturizer its so light weight. Works great. High quality. Worth the money.

I learned of this skin/face creme' whilst traveling in Europe...and SO glad to have found it. Wonderful texture; wonderful natural ingredients; wonderful eco friendly packaging and a good value - a bit goes a long way. The fragrances of its natural ingredients is intoxicating. My skin looks moisturized and nourished - I'm 75 years old and I think I've finally found my fountain of youth serum ... love it.

This review is for the Skin Food LIGHT version, which is the version I recommend over the regular version. First, I'll address what a lot of other reviews have said were negative points, but also with commentary about how this product is still 100% worth it! 1) The smell - Yes, it smells like you're putting gin on your face. I really can't explain it as any other smell. The first time I applied it, I was pretty grossed out. But once I knew what to expect, I got over it with all my other applications. Because the cream itself is worth it, despite the smell. Also, the smell goes away after 10 minutes. 2) The consistency - It's thick, but not thick like cream cheese. The regular version is thick like cream cheese. The light version is thick but still very clean feeling when applied. It has a cream makeup primer consistency, and it in fact makes an EXCELLENT primer. I recommend using this lotion as a primer that also hydrates your skin instead of using a makeup primer. It's better for your skin, and it gives you that really beautiful dewey look once your makeup is fully applied. If using this as a primer, you absolutely have to use some kind of foundation or BB cream over it. Otherwise, it'll look greasy instead of dewey. 3) The price - It's so cheap for what it is! This is comparable in function to some of the other $150+ creams on the market. Yes, the texture isn't as luxurious. Yes, the smell is certainly in need of reformulation. But for the price, you can't beat how good it makes your skin look under makeup, and how hydrated your skin will remain with this cream.

I like how rich and moisturizing it is. I prefer this light version over the original because it's less greasy. It does take a bit to absorb so I normally use it at night unless I'm not in a rush to put make up on right away. Once it's absorbed it feels really nice and lasts long. It smells like natural plant based cream, meaning not great but not bad either. Will buy it again. Reason for the missing star: I know the aluminum is better than plastic but this new tube is harder to fully squeeze and after a while the cup does not fit anymore.

I keep this on hand year round, however it is my go-to AM and PM facial moisturizer for dry midwestern winters. My face is no longer dry, tight, and itchy.

One of the very best moisturizers I've ever used. Hands down. It is incredibly nourishing.

Wonderfully rich. I prefer this light version over the original because it is less greasy. I use it day and night on my face. Love the smell.

​I am a long-time user of the original heavy Weleda Skin Food, but sometimes it's just too rich for daytime use or warmer weather. When the "Light" version came out, I was skeptical—could it possibly deliver the same level of intense hydration without the thick, dense feeling? The answer is a resounding yes! ​Texture & Feel: This cream is a dream. It has a beautiful, whipped texture that is noticeably lighter than the original. It absorbs quickly, leaving absolutely no greasy residue, which makes it perfect for use under makeup. It provides immediate relief to dry patches without making my skin feel suffocated. ​Hydration & Results: It contains the same beloved blend of natural ingredients (including sunflower oil, lanolin, and extracts of pansy, rosemary, and calendula), and my skin looks and feels deeply nourished after applying it. It combats dryness, reduces flaky patches, and leaves a healthy, radiant glow. It’s light enough for morning use but powerful enough to heal my skin overnight. ​Recommendation: If you love the intense results of the classic Skin Food but need something that sinks in faster, works well in humid climates, or serves as a lighter, daily facial moisturizer, the Skin Food Light is the perfect substitute. It’s an essential staple in my routine now!

Tried this out as soon as I got because every beauty article or celebrity beauty secret mentions the weleda skin.food cream. I assumed the light cream meant it would soak in your quickly..light as in a summer weight moisturizer not light as in lighter consistency. This is a high moisturizing cream despite the "light" description. I love it because we have crazy windy weather or extremely dry weather in the winter where I layer on 3 types of moisturizers so my skin doesn't feel dry. I think for me this would not be an everyday moisturizer in the summer but a once a week you need a deep moisturizering treatment type situation. In the winter I can see myself using it everyday. It greats for sensitive skin, I have felt a bit of tingling throughout the day but I think that is the actives actually moisturizering as my skin didn't get red, itchy or hot as it does when it reacting badly to a product. It does have a light herbal scent that quickly dissipates when you apply it but if you are really sensitive to scent it might be too strong for you.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von Weleda Skin Food! Die Creme ist sehr reichhaltig, pflegt trockene und raue Hautstellen intensiv und macht meine Haut spürbar weicher und glatter. Schon nach kurzer Zeit sehen kleine Fältchen und trockene Stellen viel besser aus, und meine Haut bekommt einen schönen, natürlichen Glow. Der Duft ist angenehm, die Verträglichkeit hervorragend selbst bei empfindlicher Haut. Für mich ein echter Allrounder und eine klare Kaufempfehlung!

For me the best cream for sensitive skin. Moisturising but not greasy

Diese neue Gesichtscreme ist genial. Sie fettet trockene Haut, ohne zu glànzen. Die Haut fühlt sich wunderbar weich an.
