I power through California summers, by focusing on the upcoming winter, and how much I’ll appreciate every rainy day, the scent of petrichor, every cozy night in, the absence of mosquitoes, and being forced to wear clothes so drenched in sweat, you could literally wring them out at the end of the day… ?The only thing I DON’T appreciate is how itchy, flakey and dry my skin is throughout my favorite season. Combined with battlingcystic pimples every month with AHA’s, BHA’s, Tretinoin, my skin is practicallysnowing! ?ENTERWELEDA SKIN FOOD; a MIRACLE for dry, itchy, flaky skin. Why trust my review? Well, I’ve tried a lot of heavy thick creams in attempt to quench my extremely parched skin; CeraVe w/ Hyaluronic Acid, Nivea, First Aid Ultra Repair, even La Mer — none were nearly as effective or worked half as long as WELEDA SKIN FOOD. But my skin isn’t just dry, it’s also sensitive, prone to blackheads, cystic pimples, dark spots, and at 39, (going on 25 ?), it also struggles to turn over on its own, which easily leads to congestion, especially on my face. To prevent pimplesthat will inevitably leave scars and dark spots, I have to continue using Tretinoin and other chemical exfoliants during the wintertime, and trust me —IT SHEDS to an unsightly and embarrassing degree, but I’ve found a significant amount of relief from WELEDA. It not only keeps my skin hydrated for several hours, but it significantly minimizes the appearance of flaking skin and leaves it glowing and dewy without clogging my pores.But, I believe this product could be better if there was an “unscented” option. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a terrible scent; it’s a bit minty and sweet, and it does go away after you apply it, but some people, like myself are sensitive to secrets, and there’s NO reason why any skincare product should have scents added to them. That’s my only complaint/suggestion.Other than that this cream is perfect and like many reviews say, it works perfectly as a makeup primer. It IS thick, and it can sometimes be hard to spread around, but I find that I’d you apply it over a serum, it’ll spread quite smoothly over the skin.(This review is 100% honest and incentive-free)
If you suffer from really dry skin like myself, then this is something you definitely need in your kit! It is extremely thick, moisturizing cream. You only need a little bit and once you apply it all over your face or skin your skin just glows! My skin feels so soft after using this, and it makes my make up application, look flawless. Also, since I’ve been using this, a part of my nighttime routine, I have noticed less redness and inflammation in my face, and best of all, no more acne. I am really happy with this product and would put it on subscription.
My wife bought this to put on her elderly father’s arms that were scabbed everywhere and looked like alligator skin. She applied it very thick and let it just soak once a week and each week his skin improved drastically. She gave her elderly mom a tube because she refers to her skin on her arms as “old lady skin.” She loves the way it smells, and we're sure it will help her because her skin isn’t nearly as bad. We highly recommend trying this lotion!
