“It’s been called ‘the poor man’s La Mer’ and has about as many uses as WD-40.
“I use it as a mask when I fly and my skin comes out looking like butter.”

RAVE REVIEWS
The Redditor isn’t the only one who swears by the La Mer dupe, many others shared their love for the skincare staple in the reviews section.
“Love this stuff,” one Amazon shopper wrote.
“Right from the first application, the rich texture of the cream felt luxurious and instantly hydrating on the skin.
“Unlike some day creams that either sit on the skin’s surface or feel overly greasy, this one absorbs beautifully, leaving a velvety-soft finish. It literally melts into your face.
“I love that Weleda prioritizes natural, nourishing ingredients that not only make my skin feel great, but also align with my preference for cleaner skincare products.
“The 1.3 fluid ounce packaging might seem modest, but a little truly goes a long way.
“It’s been a couple [of] months, and I’ve barely made a dent in the tub.”
“My skin has never been softer,” another added.
“I’m 54 and over the years have tried all the skincare products including high-end.
“This was my first time using a Weleda product.
“I don’t know why I waited so long to try Weleda because my skin has never been this soft and smooth. This cream is magic.”
