Most Helpful Positive Review Great product! This lotion works wonders for dry skin! I have been using the lotion on my face and hands daily. Living in a colder climate, I apply the lotion to my face once a day and it keeps my face moisturized all day! I also apply the lotion to my hands after washing my hands and it has helped my dry, cracked skin improve greatly!
The lotion is yellow in color and has a chamomile scent to it. I was also very pleased to see that it was sent in eco-friendly packaging materials.
Overall, this is a great product and very effective in keeping my skin moisturized during these cold, winter months!
Most Helpful Critical Review Disappointed I honestly thought this would be a winner for me looking at the reviews. As soon as I put it on my skin, it burned and itched. I tried it on by itself to make sure it was that and not something else, and unfortunately it was the moisturizer. I'm very disappointed in this. And apparently my skin has some sensitivity to it.
Reviewed by 75 customers Another holy grail item! 5
Faustina from Philadelphia, PA
If you love the original Skin Food, but feel like it's too thick, then the light version is for you! I religiously use the original version in cold weather, but I wanted something not as heavy in the summer. Just as moisturizing but not as heavy.
Loved it...at first. 3
Sayitaintso from Wa state
I absolutely loved this! But then, it broke me out so so bad. For some reason I assumed it would be great for my skin, but then I looked it up on cosdna.com and realized it was irritating my skin and the fragrance...not for sensitive skin! I'm giving it three stars though because it's great for my dry hands...but I won't repurchase for that alone.

Perfect 5
Beams from Seattle WA
This product hydrates all day, layers well with other products and doesn't break me out! ( I am acne prone)
I really liked this 4
Mica1957 from Oklahoma
I have combination skin, so I bought the smaller size. Overall I really like it. I use it as a nighttime moisturizer and it hasn't bothered my sensitive skin at all! I think you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere because it seems like Ulta's prices are higher on some things, but overall I really liked it.
Love it! 5
Meyo from Lexington, NC
I have purchased so many face creams but none of them compare to Weleda Skin Food! Within a week of using it has helped my uneven skin tone as well as held in much needed moisture. I absolutely love it!
Smells good but leaves me greasy! 4
Brooke from Salt Lake City
I bought this product to add to my morning skincare routine, but for me it makes my skin too shiny! I switched it up and now use it as my nighttime moisturizer. I like the smell of it and a little goes a long way.
Another great Weleda product 4
Jamsandjellies from Minneapolis MN
Fan of the original Skin Food but find it best for nighttime use. This is a lighter version. Still rich and emollient with a similar fragrance that dissipates. Hands, feet, face - it pretty much softens and heals it all
The best face cream! Ever! 5
Anna from Canton MI
I suffered from dry skin, and hormonal acne. I tried dozens of moisturizers, and was left with a film of product that would sit ontop of my face, and would break out. Now this little gem of a cream soaked right into my face, left a natural glow, and guess what? No acne whatsoever! no dry skin whatsoever! I hope this stuff is around forever!
Pretty good stuff! 4
Paige from Missouri
I've been using this the past week or two as a morning moisturizer. I would definitely agree with other reviews that it's very hydrating. Plus, the price is right! The only reason for 4 stars is because it is a little sticky when applying.
This is what I have been needing for years! 5
Jami H from Hudson, Ohio
I LOVE this product so far! I have combination skin (oily in summer and very dry in winter) and i have been struggling to find something for my dry/flaky skin. I tried The Ordinary Hyaluronic acid for a couple days and unfortunately all it did was make my skin more dry. Then I tried this... and my skin has not been dry or flaky!!! The only complaint I have it the smell... not great but I will happily put up with it for how well this has been working so far. Also, It is a pretty heavy product compared to what I am used to so I was expecting it to cause breakouts but none so far. Very happy!
Wonderful lotion! 5
Lil B from Winston-Salem NC
I use this every night as a face cream. It's made a huge difference in texture of my skin.
Awesome 5
Cassandrak from ND
The skin food light is awesome!! Leaves me feeling very moisturized. Very light feeling, not to thick and greasy, which is great for the winter months! Smells great and makes me happy to put no my face knowing the ingredients are safe. BPA Free, Non -GMO, not tested on animals, Paraben free. I am all in!
Real moisture, no breakout 5
RockyMountainWinter from Denver
I have THE MOST SENSITIVE combination skin. I can't use any of the fun / fancy brands without crazy breakouts. Since I can remember I have to use CeraVe PM only and that works great most of the time, but it has flaws. So when a friend recommended this, I prepared for a breakout because it's SUPER thick. After testing on my chest, then neck, then cheek, I wasn't breaking out and I couldn't believe it. This is my new HG. I finally have something to get me through winter. I use it over my serums and it's a game changer. I wake up and my skin feels so soft and supple. My dry skin patches are gone. Just peeled right off after the first night. I'm still in shock. My skin has never been happier. It's like magic.
Hydrating 5
Nesh1500 from NewYork NY
This cream is very hydrating which is a plus. Works great for a make up base. My skin feels moisturized and healthy after use. The texture is thick but melts quickly into my skin so only a dime size is needed for application. Another pro about this cream is that it is natural and plant derived.
Weleda Skin Food 5
ddnlmathis from Chipley, Fl
The directions on this product state to "apply whenever and wherever skin needs immediate moisture". I would not recommend this product on the face as it leaves a greasy residue and led to a breakout on my chin and forehead the day after using it. It did, however, seem like it immediately hydrated the rough, dry patches that were my initial intended target. It should probably just be labeled a little more judiciously and not state it is good "wherever".
Great feeling and smelling moisturizer 4
Pitties and Kitties from Lakeland, FL
When my Welluda Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream arrived I was unsure of what to expect; it came highly recommended but I had never tried any of their products before so I was a little nervous. I was pleasantly surprised at the smell and feel..both of which were light and summery. I liked that it wasn't greasy and heavy.
Leaves skin refreshed 5
tmlh05 from New Smyrna Beach, Florida
The Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream has left my skin feeling and looking great. I use the Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream after my showers and the cream does not leave a sticky residue. Within a week you can see the change in your skin.
Love everything about this cream 5
Mama T from Denver
I'm a loyal Weleda lover and this cream drives home everything I enjoy abou thte brand. This lightweight formula delievers amazing moisture, in a fresh scent, that isn't too potent! The cream itself is not heavy or greasy and I use it multiple times a day!

Amazing skin cream 5
Ctaylor86 from Charlotte Nc
I recieved this a few days ago and I am already impressed. It is a light plant extract nourishing cream that instantly hydrates skin without feeling greasy. The scent is chamomile, calendula, and pansy and its overly strong. I would reccomend this to anyone lookimg for a good skin cream.
Feels Amazing 5
FREE2BME from Chowchilla CA
Feels amazing on my skin. My skins looks and feels more hydrated. I always look for items that are not heavy on my skin. So I was thankful when I found this item. Great results with no side affects of any kind. Love to recommend products that have worked for me.
Wonderful Product 5
Idieh74 from Auburn, WA
I've been using this product for a few weeks now and love it. It smells great, goes on smooth and keeps my skim hydrated without feeling greasy. I like to use it before applying make up in the morning and after I remove it at night. It soaks in well and even lasts on my hands after a washing or two. You can always tell a good product by how much you have to use and with this... barely a drop! I would definitely recommend this product.
Moisturizes well, but didn't like the smell 4
mayhemandmotherhoos from Amherst, OH
This is a really good product if you need some extra moisture in your skin, and perfect to use in the winter time for dry skin. I have to say I have mixed feelings about it, it did dry quickly and moisturize really well but I felt it was a little too greasy (or maybe I just used too much) one of the things I didn't really like was the smell, it really bothered me. I do like that it's naturally based so it has good-for-you ingredients which is important for something you're using on your skin. Overall, it's not a product that I would use on a regular basis but I would suggest it someone who's looking for a natural product.
Good option 4
KaeGa from undisclosed
I used this in place of my usual product and while it works well I'm not sure I would switch. This is not to say it's not good. It does almost everything it says it will do but my skin did have a little reaction to it initially. This may be normal for some when changing products. I did notice that my skin was a little drier using this (but to be fair I also have to consider the colder temperatures in my area contributing to the dryness). I think this would be better suited for me during the spring and summer months but I will continue to use it until it's gone while modifying my regime a little
