Hand cream comparison test
I purchased a number of hand creams in light of a recent discovery that an ingredient in many products called dimethicone and similar is a polymer silicone which although creates a feeling of silky smoothness is actually drying your skin and creating a viscous cycle. I purchased Skin Food and Pomegranate hand cream by Weleda, Zkin soothing hand cream, Ruby Red restoring moisturiser, Oskia renaissance hand cream and Caudalie hand and nail cream. Both Weleda products are excellent. great aroma and feel. a little goes a long way. the skin food is suitable for many applications however can be quite thick (very lanoliny, 2nd ingredient). Caudalie is very very good and i will be buying this again. great ingredients, aroma and feel. Zkin is a great Australian product and is in a pump action so you never over squeeze and use too much. great smell, feel and ingredients, and ticks many ethical boxes. Ruby Red i am not too sure about yet, but still ticks alot of boxes and does feel good. the product i won't be getting again and would prefer to regift than to use is the Oskia cream. Scent is very old lady smell (sorry if i offend anyone but way too strong and too much rose). Too many ingredients and it was the most expensive also. I hope this helps also. BTW avoid octabenzone and octinoxate in lip balms - it is a polymer used as a UV filter but has been found to be absorbed into the body (blood, urine and breast milk) and is petroleum derived and makes your lips dryer the more you use. Another con. All the best.

Excellent
I adore this cream. I have extremely dry facial skin and this is the only cream that quenches it's thirst. Has a delightful citrusy fragrance. Don't know what I'd do without it!

Cruelty Free
One of the best products on the market. Saw an earlier review about their products being tested on animals & nearly had a fit. Went for a quick read & found this to be patently untrue (thank goodness!!) I buy this for my boyfriend's elbows & he loves it! It's great on hands, feet & sunburn (shouldn't happen, but sometimes does!) Enjoy with a clean conscience ...

Fabulous
This is the best moisturiser I have ever used. I use on my face as a night cream and although its very heavy at first, by morning it looks like I've had a full eight hours sleep (even if its been more like four!) Smells delicious too. I wouldn't use anything else.

Perfect for thirsty skin
This is an oily thick cream that gets absorbed instantaneously. Very soothing and hydrating, rich texture, perfect for winter or for anyone who has dry skin or itchy skin. It's thick so you need to work it in, but doesn't leave skin sticky. Beautiful floral herbal scent! I love it! Just beautiful!

Rich nourishing cream
I think this is a great cream, it's think, full of natural nourishing ingredients, hence the name Skin Food. Feels very intesive, comparing to other moisturisers that may be too liquid and not intensive. This really feeds the skin!

I'm never without it
This has to be my all-time favourite skin care product! I have dry, delicate, sensitive skin, prone to broken capillaries and this cream has done wonders to protect and heal - even reducing the appearance of the broken veins. I use it at night in summer and twice a day in winter, but also whenever I travel by air or when my skin needs a little TLC. It gives a lovely glow and gets absorbed quickly (no shine).

love
I really love this stuff! I'm on my third tube, I love it especially for winter when my skin is extra dry. It takes some rubbing for the cream to set in, but once it does, my skin is so soft for the day. I don't have to reapply all the time. My husband uses this for his elbows too. I love that the scent isn't too strong either.

Instant relife
I use this Weleda Skin Food on my face and its good instant relief for when my skin gets dry, Its not a miracle worker and it wont make your skin concerns go away, but its ok if you want a basic but natural moisturiser. The one thing i HATE about this is the stupid packaging, when you squeeze the foil tube a load comes out and it keeps coming out. would be much better in a plastic recyclable tube or tub.

very good product
I started to use it while being pregnant, it is very natural, but in the same time very effective product. I use it as hand cream, it moisturize hands for a long time. I like the smell as well, altrough its quite strong. Even my man started to use it and liked it.

Weleda Skin Food
I start to use this as hand cream while being pregnant. It nourishes skin very quickly and the result lasts for the whole day, even if you wash your hands often. And it's all natural, safe to use during pregnancy. I definatelly recommend it to my friends!
