Weleda Baby Calendula Face Cream

I purchased the this face cream for my 5-year-old daughter, and I couldn’t be happier. This cream is incredibly gentle on her sensitive skin and provides excellent hydration without any irritation. The texture is rich but not greasy, and it absorbs quickly, leaving her face feeling soft and smooth all day long. I love that it’s made with natural ingredients like calendula, which is perfect for soothing and protecting delicate skin. It has a mild, pleasant scent that’s not overpowering, making it ideal for young children. I’ve noticed a visible improvement in the softness and overall appearance of her skin since we started using it. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a gentle, nourishing moisturizer.

I'm in my twenties, and have acne-prone skin that's sensitive as can be, and dry as the Kalahari. Really. I may be the only person that when leaving my skin to it's own devices look as if I have a flaking sun burn all over my face. Attractive award over here everybody!That said, I use this stuff both day and night after a gentle cleanse, and it's stopped the peeling look dead in its track. My acne has improved since using it, instead of the usual breaking out when I find a actually moisturizing lotion, and my skin is hippie-baby soft.For somebody without skin like a desert, this may be too heavy for day use, but it makes a fantastic night cream. With my skin, I find that immediately after applying I am slightly shiny, but this soaks in within 5 minutes and just makes me look dewey. With a layer of mineral powder foundation over top, I am completely matte.The calendula definitely comes through in the smell. Now, if you've never smelled a real calendula flower, it's in the marigold family, and has a slightly herby smell. I was worried that it would be off-putting to my tea-tree, rosemary, and similar scent hating guy, but he didn't even notice. It's not exactly a bad smell, and it does dissipate fairly quickly, but it is something to be aware of.Now, if you are actually looking at this product for a baby, I'd actually recommend getting a tube of Weleda Skin Food, 2.5 Ounce and doing double duty as a cream for your hands and a balm for red chubby cheeks. I find it works just as well, and since I carry it around in my purse I have it at hand for wind chapped cheeks and scrapes.

This cream is very oily, and may not be for everyone, but it works great on very dry flaky skin. My son has some irritation on his face and it helps. It may not be the best daily cream, but it is natural, high quality, and makes your skin very soft.

I purchased this for myself, not my baby. I'd been having allergic reactions, with rashy dry patches, to my face cream. My dermatologist recommended that I use Aquaphor as a moisturizer. Uh, no thanks on the petroleum face. I use the Weleda calendula oil on my baby for massages, and was really happy with the quality of Weleda products. I was also looking to add calendula to my routine to try to heal the rashy patches. I figured I would give this cream a try.The cream comes in a metal tube - not my favorite, but not a deal breaker. The texture is creamy and emollient, and it does take awhile to really soak in. Since I use primarily it as a night cream, this isn't problematic. It doesn't end up smeared on my pillow, though it does feel a little thick, deceptively so, because it comes out of the tube with a light, fluffy texture.The smell is right for a calendula product: woody and a little herbal. I'm not a huge fan of the smell of calendula in general, but it's natural and isn't being masked by a perfume. It performs as calendula should. After applying it on the first night, I woke up with an immense improvement in the redness of my rash, and the texture was also normalizing. After a few weeks, the rash was gone, and my skin was supple and much softer.I will use this as a day cream only when I am reasonably sure I will be staying in all or most of the day. It is thick enough that I would not want to put makeup on top, and I don't believe it contains sunscreen. This doesn't deter me from touting this cream as awesome in a tube as a healing night cream. Since no one product can do all things, I am happy when I find a product that does what I need it to do, and so it well. The product is natural, and it works beautifully for me.

I'm in my late 30's and was breaking out a bit and getting some rough red skin on my cheeks and chin. After reading the reviews for this cream I thought I would try it for myself. I really like it. My skin seems much less irritated after I use it, and my breakouts have diminished a lot. I even used it after shaving my legs a fews time because they get so itchy afterwards, and it really helped. The most amazing thing to me is that I used this cream on a couple of rough spots I've gotten on the tops of my feet from friction, and even though my skin is still a bit discolored from the damage, it feels smooth (was never rough again after 3 applications). My only complaints are that it feels a little greasy gooing on (it soaks in pretty fast), and that it doesn't seem to help with any aging skin issues (which it doesn't claim to, since it's supposed to be used on babies). I actually like the smell, too, not perfumy, but a bit herbal. I'll keep looking for an appropriate adult face cream, but use this as long as I need to. I have used weleda skin food on my dry chapped hands before, and I like this cream a lot better.
