Honestly this didn't break me out or anything but it did exasperate blackheads AND didn't even moisturize properly , in fact it made my skin feel drier..

This is the only thing that has heeled my peeling cuticles. Smells great, VERY greasy so only suitable when you dont wish to be stuck to your jeans or touch anything :)

On the packaging it says it is best to use on elbows, hands and feet and I think I agree with that. I bought it to use on my face because my skin gets really dry and flaky in colder seasons but...

I initially liked this a lot, but I think it's the cause of my continuing dry skin. It initially seems very moisturizing and I like that it's all-natural, but alcohol is very prominent in the...

I use this on my face, mostly at night in the summer but sometimes when I have dry patches during the day in winter I'll use it then, too. I put a tiny amount on my fingers and pat it onto damp...

I bought this in March, after doing a ton of research. I found it at a natural health product store for a better price than I expected. (A little under $20 CAD.) My skin panicked and broke out...

This was a strange product for me. For some reason, it didn't seem to really moisturize at all (on my body or my face, it just didn't seem to penetrate). When I used it on my face, it caused some...

My skin feels really nice and there's a certain glow to it that I can't exactly describe. My acne marks seem to diminish faster as well. I only apply this at night time, but even so, I have to blot...

I think skin food smells ok, but it's really greasy. I only use it on elbows and dry patches. Plus you don't get a whole lot in a package and it's expensive. I only buy it when I see it on sale....

The perfect multi-purpose cream I don't think I can live without! Many complain about the smells but I like it, it smell like herb. The consistency may seem a bit thin but it moisturizes perfectly....

I just bought this because I wanted to see what all the hype was about, but I tried it and I don't like it at all. First off, I hate the smell, I'm not sure what smell it is, I think lavander or...

So, I debated buying Skin Food for a couple days (Hey for me that's a long time, lol) and finally went for it. After purchasing, it still took me a whole day to try it out on my face. I was nervous...

For me, Weleda skin food is just ok. It does an adequate job of moisurizing and has a clean fragrance but I feel it is a bit over priced. Things that come in metal tubes bother me as well. It just...

This is a good heavy moisturizing cream for very dry areas. I use it on dry spots near the eye brow and also as hand cream. I like the cream a lot but hat the metal tube. I've too mangled the spout...

This cream is very rich. I use it on my hands to moisturize them, and it does a very good job of that. I like the smell; it's kind of citrusy, not too girly. I've had guys use it who normally won't...
