Review of Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner

By Jenny M.

Packaging The Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner comes in a 100ml bottle with screw top which is easy to use and enables you to apply just the right amount to cotton wool.

Application Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner did not irritate or sting at all and calmed my sensitive skin immediately.

Ingredients I am not keen on the smell of the Weleda products and unfortunately this was no exception. It smelt more like rose tea than the rose oil commonly used in cosmetics. This Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner does contain alcohol and witch hazel, neither of which are ideal for people with dry skin and I found if I used it for several days in a row it was quite drying. Using it every few days delivered optimum results.

Results After using the Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner, my skin felt refreshed and clean. Although the product contains rose it isn’t very hydrating due to the alcohol and witch Hazel and I needed to use moisturiser immediately afterwards. I probably wouldn’t buy this product as I like to have a toner I can use daily.

Pros: It refreshes skin

• It is excellent for sensitive skin
• It is good value for money

Cons: The smell is a bit too strong

· It is a bit too astringent for dry skin

Review of Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner

By Nadine D

Packaging The 10ml Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner comes in a glass bottle with a plastic screw top lid. The cardboard box packaging is bright pink with purple, gold and white lettering. The ingredients are listed along with product details in English and French. It stated that detailed directions for use could be found on the in-pack leaflet, but I was disappointed to find that the only leaflet enclosed was one detailing the product range.

Application I applied the toner after cleansing using few drops on a cotton pad. I could immediately feel the astringent properties of the toner and felt that it was really removing impurities on my skin. It did not sting or irritate my skin and my skin felt a little softer after using it for a week. I did not suffer form any blocked pores whilst using this product. The gentle rose fragrance was very pleasant and not too strong.

Ingredients I was very pleased that this product is low in alcohol as I find some toners far too drying for my skin. It is free from synthetic fragrances, colours, preservatives and raw materials derived from mineral oils. The ingredients are listed fully and the description of the product is in English and French. Its astringent properties are lent from witch hazel and the extract of the green leaves of Wild Rose, and the ingredients combine to support the natural pH balance of the skin. The product I used had a three-month shelf life, and this is more than enough if you use the product regularly.

Results After using the Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner for three weeks, my skin does feel a little softer and I have not had any problems with blocked pores. My T-zone that is usually slightly oily was definitely less shiny.

Pros: You can feel the astringent properties working straight away.

• My T-zone was definitely less shiny.
• It kept blocked pores at bay.
• It has a very pleasant fragrance.

Cons: I used this product twice per day, but think that once every day or every other day would suffice.

· It can be quite drying if used often on dryer skin types.

· It can be quite hard to control the amount dispensed from the bottle.

Review of Weleda Skin Food
By Ruth H

Packaging: The Weleda Skin Food cream is packaged in a tube within a cardboard box. The box shows full details of the product itself and the ingredients, including the natural essential oils used in the cream.

Application: Due to the essential oils this Weleda skin food contains, it is beautifully scented. The texture of the Skin Food is creamy, although slightly greasy once applied to the skin. I have very dry skin which is prone to eczema, and found that the Weleda Skin Food did keep the dry areas supple and moisturised for some time after application.

Ingredients: The ingredients of Weleda Skin Food are all listed on the packaging. I noticed that there was Lanolin in the cream, and was interested to find out whether this would irritate my skin as it is a known allergen. I haven’t had any problems so far, but using the Weleda cream over a longer period of time may make a difference.

Results: Although the Weleda Skin Food is lovely to use the moisturising effects don’t last indefinitely, and my skin remains very dry. I don’t know if this is due to changes in the weather and sitting in centrally heated environments at home and work, but I think I would need to use the Weleda skin cream for a much longer period to see its full potential. If you have normal/dry skin that needs moisturising then this product would be a ‘must have’, but with drier more sensitive skin I think a product without the lanolin or essential oils would be more appropriate, as both of these can irritate and dry skin out at times.

Pros: Lovely scent, nice textured cream

Cons: Not moisturising enough for very dry skin

Review of Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion
By Debbie R.

The Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion has a great non-greasy feel and is easily applied. It wipes across the skins surface effortlessly and has a gentle formulation – this is not a harsh chemical cleaner. It is not overly absorbent and so can be wiped off easily. A little goes a long way of Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion and it can be applied sparingly on a variety of applicators.

Some cream based cleansers can leave the skin feeling unclean, or worse, clogged up, but this Weleda Almond Cleanser leaves the skin feeling fresh and supple – and unlike some cream style cleansers I could actually see the evidence of dirt removal on the cotton pad! Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion has a very mild scent of almond with a background hint of something like alcohol, which is not altogether pleasant and can linger for around 30 minutes or so after application. However, an hour after use of Weleda Almond Lotion all that can be detected is a faint hint of almond.

The metal tube of Weleda Cleansing Lotion is simple and retro and like toothpaste tubes of old may take some effort to get every last drop out of it.

Over the product trial period the Weleda Cleanser performed effectively as a cleanser and even managed to remove makeup easily, with the exception of mascara!

Review of Weleda Skin Food
By Geri A.

Packaging Weleda Skin Food for dry skin comes in a green tube, which in turn, is packed into a green box. The tube has a white plastic top and I had to pierce the top of the tube with the top part of the white cap in order to extract the cream. This is a good thing because it ensures that it has not been tampered with. The green tube of Weleda Skin Food has white writing on it so it is easy to read. An instruction leaflet comes with the tube and gives more information.

Application The Weleda skin food has a light pleasant smell and the fragrance is created from aro-matherapy oils. The cream came out of the tube easily and when I put it onto my skin it was ab-sorbed quickly. It is not oily so it is ideal for wearing at night. It is also good under make-up. The Weleda Skin Food is nourishing and it left my skin feeling smooth and supple. It is especially recommended for dry skin, particularly on the hands, feet and elbows and it is suitable for adults and children.

Ingredients The Weleda skin food cream contains organic ingredients and this gives me confidence. I always find that Weleda products are good for my skin. The skin food contains sunflower seed oil, lanolin, sweet almond oil, beeswax, alcohol, organic pansy, chamomile and calendula. In addition to these ingredients, it contains limonene.

Results I enjoyed using this deeply nourishing Weleda Skin cream and found that it was absorbed into my skin easily, leaving no greasy residue on my skin. I found Weleda Skin Food especially effective on the hands, leaving them smooth and moisturised. It had a light, pleasant fragrance.

Pros: Weleda Skin Food Cream is an intensive, deeply nourishing cream.
• It can be used by both adults and children.
• It leaves the skin feeling smooth and moisturised.
The cream is especially recommended for dry or rough skin.

Cons: Weleda skin food contains a natural substance called limonene which is present in the peel of
citrus fruits but this can cause eye, skin and mucous membrane irritation in some people.
• It also contains alcohol.

Review of Weleda Wild Rose Toner
By Laura L.

Product description - Weleda describes this Facial Toner as a gentle tonic to invigorate the skin after cleansing. One of the main ingredients Rosehip oil (obtained from organic hand-picked roses) is one of the lightest and most beneficial oils. Weleda wild rose toner is rich in essential fatty acids, which the body cannot replenish as it ages. Organic Rose Hip oil helps to improve the skins elasticity and health, thus preventing the signs of premature aging. As with all Weleda products this Weleda Wild Rose Facial Toner is formulated naturally, without artificial fragrances, colours or preservatives.

Appearance - The Weleda rose Facial Toner comes in a very handy little 10ml (0.35 FL OZ) bottle which is an ideal make-up bag size. Product is well presented in attractive packaging. Although the packaging states that ‘detailed directions for use can be found on the in-pack leaflet’, there didn’t seem to be any. I just applied a small amount of the Weleda Wild Rose toner with cotton wool as I have with other toners in the past.

Consistency and smell - The Weleda Toner has a watery consistency as you would expect with any toner. It is yellowish in colour but clear. The smell of Weleda Wild Rose Toner is truly uplifting and very therapeutic. It has a fresh scent of rose which isn’t overpowering but very refreshing.

Performance – I applied the Weleda Rose Toner after my usual cleansing routine. I applied it sparingly and my skin seemed to absorb it straight away. I then applied my normal moisturiser afterwards. I didn’t notice any instant effects from this Weleda Wild Rose Toner but after a few uses my skin did feel softer and more conditioned. I also noticed that me overall complexion improved after a few uses.

Disadvantages – if you were using this product every day you would probably need to buy a bigger size.

I would definitely recommend this product if you have dry/normal or blemished skin.

Review of Weleda Skin Food
By Gillian L.

PACKAGING The Weleda Skin Food comes in an aluminium tube in a box. All Weleda packaging is made from recycled materials and can be recycled again. The 25ml trial size is great for popping into your handbag.

APPLICATION Skin food ,as it says, is an intensive , nourishing cream suitable for rough, dry skin anywhere on the body. Weleda Skin Food can be used as a day and night cream and also makes a fabulous overnight hand treatment used with cotton gloves. It is very intensive so I think most suited to very dry skins, rough patches and for extra winter protection. To apply to the face use only a spot and then gently dab in to avoid dragging the skin as it is such a rich consistency. Weleda skin food is easier to apply to hands and other body areas but needs well rubbed in and leaves skin slightly sticky until absorbed. I would describe this product as a skin treatment rather than an everyday moisturiser unless your skin is very dry.

INGREDIENTS Weleda grow their own plants and herbs under strict organic controls so all products are 100% free from artificial pesticides and herbicides .As a long established ethical, organic and cruelty free company all Weleda products can be trusted by those of us concerned about what we put on our bodies and how we treat our world resources. The main moisturising ingredients in the Weleda skin food are sunflower oil, sweet almond oil ,beeswax and lanolin. Herbal extracts of rosemary ,chamomile and calendula give the cream its nourishing and healing properties.

RESULTS I used Weleda skin food cream on my hands and elbows. I loved the citrussy, herbal scent though this was quite strong and may upset those sensitive to essential oils. Applied as an intensive hand treatment , wearing cotton gloves overnight, Weleda skin food left my hands silky soft, hydrated and nourished. As a hand cream to simply apply as needed I found it rather heavy and as it takes time to absorb feels a bit tacky. However it was so effective as a hand treatment that I’d buy this again.

PROS Weleda skin cream Good value for money
- A quality treatment for rough ,dry skin
-organic and ethically sound product
-suitable for female and male as scent is herbal.

CONS Contains lanolin and beeswax so not suitable for vegans or those allergic to lanolin

Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion Reviews

Review of Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion

By Eva van L.

Packaging The Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion comes in a light pink tube inside a recyclable box. The design is simple and sweet.

Application The Weleda Almond lotion’s texture is somewhere between a milk and a cream, without being too thick or greasy and it glides easily on my face. It removes make-up and dirt effortlessly without a lot of rubbing. It feels pleasant on the skin and doesn’t sting or cause discomfort. The smell, however, of this Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion is a bit disappointing, although the almond scent is noticeable, the overwhelming smell is alcohol. This immediately raises suspicion of the hydrating qualities of the lotion (alcohol dries the skin). However, after having washed the lotion off with some water, my face did not feel tight and dry, but quite well moisturised.

Ingredients As the Weleda Cleansing lotion is designed for sensitive skin, alcohol still doesn’t seem to fit in the ingredients list (or at least not in the quantity used in this lotion). Further more, Weleda is not a very cutting-edge brand, the ingredients in Weleda Almond Cleansing Lotion are very basic, but they are safe and do the job. There are no nasty parabens or other suspicious looking chemicals in it. Price-quality wise (the cleansing lotion is quite inexpensive) the ingredients are good enough.

Results Despite of the aforementioned alcohol, the Weleda Almond cleanser did not cause any irritation what so ever. It removed my make-up as it should and did not dry out my skin or cause any blemishes. For deep cleansing, another facial cleanser should probably be used, but this one is good enough to remove the obvious signs of dirt - which is a necessary first step, as you don’t want to remove your (eye!) make-up with a deep-cleansing gel.

Pros: It removes make-up without rubbing.

• It does not cause any irritation or dehydration.
• My skin feels comfortable after using it.
• It’s suitable for sensitive and dry skin.
• Cons: The amount of alcohol used in the lotion.
