This stuff is fabulous! It is a great moisturizer for dry areas like feet, elbows, lips, and cuticles. I also use it as my everyday eye cream with great results! My new favorite way to use skin...

I've had great results with this as a body moisturizer--I haven't used this on my face-but I have on my neck. I really love this product and just a bit goes a long way--this leaves my skin soft...

Maybe I got a duff tube, but the product in mine is thick and hard to spread; worse, it smells like **mothballs**! I bought it last winter and barely used it. It's only today, with the reviews...

I wouldn't dare use this on my face -- way too greasy. But it's BRILLIANT on my hands and cuticles and smells heavenly (like citrus). I buy the teensy tube and carry it around in my purse and it...

I'm not sold on this product really. The smell is - for me - pretty overpowering and find it can cause a migraine to come on if I use it too liberally. It is ok for my elbows and feet, although...

I use this as a hand cream and it is pretty good. Can't give it five stars as it doesn't always absorb quickly -- I find I need to rub my hands on another body part to be able to pick up paper...

Piece of advice, get the inexpensive sampler travel size, anyway, a little goes a long way. I really like that they offer a more inexpensive size, so many don't. To be fair to Weleda, they don't...

This is the best night cream ever. I noticed a difference within 2 days. I have dry skin and spend a lot of time on the beach..this has saved me. It took me a minute to get used to the heaviness...

I've never tried this on my face, but love it for the body. I get very dry skin in the winter, including bits of relatively small yet incredibly uncomfortable eczema. For hands, feet, elbows,...

I, too, am in love with this product after only a few days of use. I use it at nighttime on my face, and I wake up with dewy, soft, moisturized skin. It smells delicious--oranges and something...
