Cost & Packaging

The green tube of cream comes in a cardboard box in a green tube with minimal branding and has a flip-top lid which is really easy to open. 

When you squeeze the tube to get the product out, it doesn’t cause any dents in the bottle, and the product comes out easily.

You only get 30ml of the product inside the tube (compared to 75ml with the original formula) and it costs around £12.50 at the time I wrote this review (check today’s price on Amazon).

Application

The light version of this cream is quite creamy but nowhere near as thick as the original Weleda Skin Food. This means that it goes on easily and you can rub it in straight after applying. I usually dot some around my eyes, forehead, nose, cheeks and chin then gently massage in.

Absorption

The cream absorbs quite quickly but on a particularly hot day, or if you have other products on your face, it can take a little longer to sink in. I find that it’s all soaked in after about 4-5 minutes.

Results

I really like the way it gives a soft glow to my face as well as smoothing the little wrinkles around my eyes.

When it comes to long-term results, I’ve been using it for around 3 months and apart from the glow, I haven’t noticed any other effects apart from my skin being moisturised and soft. I use it every day along with a couple of other staple serums (see my other reviews for which I use) and find it to be a brilliant low-cost moisturiser.

While this cream isn’t as plumping or moisturising as it’s original counterpart, I do like to use it when I need to run out the door as it soaks in much quicker. If you’re looking for something with more oomph, see my Weleda Skin Food review.
