Weleda Soothing Facial Cream Almond Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "This Soothing Almond Facial Cream has a nice texture and is easy rub on. It absorbs fast into the skin."
• "I love this cream. It’s thick without being greasy."
• "For her skin type it leaves a slight glossiness, though she likes the lighter texture and it doesn't feel oily or heavy compared to other nourishing creams."
• "The consistency is much less creamy and more oily than ones I’ve gotten in stores."
• "It's a thick, non-oily (and, in my experience, non-comedogenic) cream."
• "This cream is very moisturizing, soothing and calming."
• "It is thick, but not greasy."

Cons:

• "Does leave a bit of a residue on top of the skin but only for a half-hour or so so any dry blush will leave skid marks that need to be blended a bit more carefully."
• "Bought this as an alternative to the Weleda almond sensitive skin facial lotion... it leaves a very sticky, slightly greasy residue on the skin."
• "It feels too thick, interferes with putting on foundation and is too greasy for the face."
• "It's a bit thicker than lotion but absorbs well."
• "It's a little less thick than one might expect given the name, but it absorbs into the skin well."
• "I found this cream just stayed on the surface due to too much beeswax. It left a white film, which I had to rub in & my skin didn't feel very soothed or moisturised."
• "I will just say that it is a bit heavy/thick and oily."

Effectiveness for Skin Conditions

Pros:

• "This product was recommended to us by a pediatric dermatologist to whom we had taken our baby son for eczema."
• "I suddenly developed rosacea over the winter and read about this product being the best moisturiser for it."
• "If like me you were desperately looking for something for your baby with eczema that worked other than steroid creams then I would definitely recommend this cream."
• "This cream is like a miracle cure. We apply a thin layer on top of any 'breakout' and typically it resolves itself within half an hour."
• "So so good. I recommend anyone, including adults like me, who has eczema or sensitive skin to try this."
• "This has helped a lot with my baby’s eczema!"
• "This is the first product to help my baby’s severe eczema."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately this face lotion left red rash with pustules on my baby’s face after only using it once."
• "This product broke out my son in a complete rash of red bumps all over his face, arms, and legs."
• "I really wanted to like this cream but it did not seem to help my 18 month old daughter’s eczema."
• "Purchased for dry skin around my kid's mouth. Didn't work for him. Resulted in rash on the area where I applied the cream."
• "Very disappointed after reading so many good reviews. I have the Weleda skin food cream (the green one) and I love it. Use it on my face and body no problem. Thought to get this for my baby and tried it on my face- my skin felt like it was burning the whole night!"
• "Unfortunately this cream did not work for our 3 month old and gave him a worse rash.. with oozing oil coming from it."
• "Bought because it claimed to help calm child skin irritations like eczema but didn't feel it made any beneficial difference rather might have agitated the skin more."

Packaging and Pricing

Pros:

• "I also love the tube, keeps the germs away from not having to dig my finger into a jar."
• "I like the price of this product as well as the ingredients, I feel better using it on my child compared to some others."
• "The best part of this product is that 95% of the ingredients are organic."
• "The price is ridiculously cheap too. you don't need a lot just a very small amount."
• "It's absolutely free from toxic chemicals making it safe for eczema-prone skin."
• "I’ve been buying Weleda my whole adult life and while somewhat expensive is a brand I trust."
• "I also love that they have a program with Terracyle so you can mail in the packaging for free afterwards for proper disposal!"

Cons:

• "I received a bottle with no seal. Very concerning for a baby product."
• "Paid 13.80 pounds to find out it went almost half price the next day. Surprisingly small tube."
• "The product came in a box that looked like it had been opened a few times and had a red mark on bottom of it."
• "The box was crushed the tube had no foil covering under the lid the product seemed as if it had been used the tube only half full."
• "Given the fact that this cream costs nearly $20 for an ounce, it's not at all a good value."
• "I was reluctant upon opening package to find there was no aluminum protective seal on bottle."
• "The only problem is that from this seller, while the tubes arrived in boxes, there was no foil protector on the tube nozzle under the cap."

Scent and Absorption

Pros:

• "It's fragrance-free, devoid of toxic chemicals, and suitable for sensitive skin."
• "Very nice moisturizing lotion, that’s fragrance free!"
• "The lotion has a coconut scent to it (due to the coconut oil)."
• "Smells pleasantly neutral."
• "I cannot pinpoint the initial scent upon applying it. It's not offensive or perfumy."
• "The scent, if you can call it that since it is fragrance free, reminded me of zinc oxide, not necessarily a bad thing though."
• "It has barley any scent to it and is extremely moisturizing and absorbs well."
