This is a great product. I've been using the 0.31 oz trial size that's only about $2 (can be found in a google search). I have acne + dry, flaky skin, and this has been the only thing I've come...

Great for my super dry hands and feet- would never use it on the face though, far too fragrant for my sensitive skin.

This works great on the face and I've notice that my blemish scars have been fading! Try it and if it doesn't work on your face, then it's great to use for dry hands and feet!!

I bought this because of (a) the glowing reviews here and (b) the great results I had with other Weleda products. I'm glad I did. Skin Food comes in a kitsch-chic kelly green metal tube and...

My grandma uses this on her extremely dry hands and it seems to be helping. Works ok on lips as well. The cream smells pretty good, but it is a tad too greasy. I'm way too scared to put this on...

I am really on the fence about this product. It is VERY thick, and doesn't ever totally sink in, so don't believe the reviews that state that it will. I learned, (the hard way) to only spot apply...

I like this cream. It's reallly very thick and heavy, and it doesn't sink right in. In fact if you put a little bit more than you should (as I did the first time) - it won't sink almost at all....

This product is only good if you have extremely parched skin and hands. I do not, and find it too greasy -- it doesn't sink in right away and my hands feel really gross. I also dislike the metal...

I bought this based on the reviews here. My skin has been a bit dry lately, so I started applying as a face cream day and night. I don't mind the orange/herb smell, but the texture reminds me of...
