Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream — Reddit Reviews
by Weleda
Updated November 10, 2026
Lanolin-rich balm seals in moisture for parched skin; heavy, fragrant, and clog-prone.
What the community says
A lanolin-rich, waxy balm built for winter dryness, peeling, and eczema-prone body patches. It suits genuinely parched skin that enjoys an occlusive finish, not combination or breakout-prone faces; the rosemary-heavy fragrance can sting.
What this means for you
What people love
Watch out for
- Too greasy and heavy for daytime or humid weather
- Strong rosemary-herbal scent bothers fragrance-sensitive users
- Can trigger facial breakouts, bumps, or irritation
