Overview - It's a must-have for those wanting a quality moisturizer that makes the skin soft and glowy without irritating it, and it's reasonably priced that will last for months.

Feel - It can be used on the face and body; it's also not greasy or feels heavy on the skin. A little goes a long way, and despite perceiving it to have poor hygiene standards because of the tub format, you get used to it.

Consistency - It has a perfect consistency with no scent; it absorbs well and doesn't cause breakouts.

Recommendation - It's highly recommended because it does wonders for the skin. But, if you want something more than hydration, this may not be the best option as it's just for hydration, and if you have extremely sensitive or having treatments, it can work well as it has nothing in it that can cause interactions.
Summary - It's a cult-favorite cream in an unfussy tub with a whipped consistency that's lightweight, absorbs quickly, leaves no residue, and is not greasy. It's best for normal, combination, and dry skin, including with eczema, and is used for moisturizing and soothing the skin. Its ingredients are colloidal oatmeal 0.5%, water, stearic acid, glycerin, c12-15 alkyl benzoate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se, cetearyl alcohol, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, dimethicone, squalane, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, xanthan gum, allantoin, sodium hydroxide, disodium EDTA, chrysanthemum parthenium (feverfew) extract, camellia sinensis leaf extract, glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, ceramide np, and eucalyptus globulus leaf oil. The key ingredients are shea butter, allantoin, and colloidal oatmeal, but there's a potential allergen, phenoxyethanol. It's byrdie-clean and cruelty-free. A 6oz tub retails for $36. Lastly, First Aid Beauty is a beauty brand that targets skin concerns like eczema and dryness.

Ingredients & Formulation
- Colloidal Oatmeal
- Essential Oils
- Eucalyptus
- Ingredients
- Positive
- Negative
Colloidal Oatmeal - It contains a hard word, colloidal oatmeal, that helps soothe the skin. It is great for eczema or other skin conditions that cause itching and irritation because it helps temporarily relieve itching.

06/27/2020
Essential Oils - It contains a few essential oils though it doesn't have a scent as the concentration is low enough to be safe for skin except if you have a eucalyptus sensitivity or want to avoid it altogether.
Hyram
03/17/2020
Eucalyptus - It contains a eucalyptus leaf extract, a potential irritant, given that it's for people with sensitive and aggravated skin. It makes it an issue for those with eczema, skin irritation, sensitivity, or acne-prone. One user who experienced irritation with the product thinks it may be due to the eucalyptus extract.
Ingredients - First Aid Beauty focuses on creating effective skincare solutions for sensitive skin. Aside from colloidal oatmeal, a skin protectant that helps to soothe eczema and itchy, irritated areas, it also has other ingredients such as allantoin, a comfrey plant-derived ingredient that also protects the skin, shea butter, a non-comedogenic rich emollient containing nutrients and vitamins that help hydrate and nourish the skin, 3 ceramides for restoring and replenishing the skin, and others like glycerin, squalene, white tea, and licorice extract that are good for moisturizing and hydrating the face. It's also cruelty-free and gluten-free.

Consistency, Feel & Texture
- Consistency
- Scent & Feel
- Positive
- Negative
Consistency - It has a thick consistency that leaves the skin looking moist and supple. Users said it has a whipped consistency that feels good, especially for the body, but is not something you'd want to put on oily acne-prone skin, especially if it's a bit thick and heavy for an oily t-zone. It also has a bit of scent.
Scent & Feel - It's scentless but faintly smells like oatmeal; the moisturizer isn't thin, but it isn't ultra-thick either. It has more of a lotion-like texture and is easy to spread around with a little that goes a long way.

Dry Skin Type - It's a great body moisturizer but is nowhere near enough for a tretinoin-plus-already-super-dry face.

Layering - It helps in hydration, and if you want to boost it more, apply petroleum jelly on top or vaseline.

Performance - A user with chronic dry skin/eczema that sometimes breaks out, the FAB hydrating cream and repair cream works for them with no adverse reaction.

Performance - Dry Sensitive Skin - A user with dry, sensitive skin that exacerbated in the winter used the product, and their skin had no reaction, irritation, or tingling. They claimed it's also rich but feels light on the skin, and a little goes a long way. They applied it at night and woke up with almost no dry patches, making it worth the price.

Performance - Dry Skin - It's an all-purpose, head-to-toe cream that's sufficiently hydrating for those suffering from eczema, as it does work wonders on dry/cracked skin during the winter.
TheFantasia.com - KANE DANE
11/26/2021
Performance - Eczema - A user finds it to be the only product to clear her son's eczema and eczema under her eye. Also, even with oily skin, it doesn't make her face oilier even with all-year-round use.

Performance - Hydration - A user finds it not hydrating enough to be worn as a moisturizer.
TheFantasia.com - KANE DANE
11/26/2021
Performance - Rosacea - A user woke up with flakey skin and worsened rosacea after use though the cream claims to be great for redness and barrier repair as it contains ceramides; when they put it on, it burns, flushes, and flakes their skin. Overall, they think it might be due to the eucalyptus as they use other products with fragrance but didn't have the same reaction.

Skin Compatibility - Users with oily, normal to dry, sensitive, and combination/oily t-zone skin claim it to work well for them. They also said it's lightweight and hydrates their skin well, making it worth its price.
Usage - It's also great to apply on the neck and hands as it gives more life to the skin and makes it dewier. It can also be used for general rashes, poison ivy, oak, sumac, and insect bites.
Usage - Body - A user prefers to use it on their body.

Usage - Eczema - A user claims it to have saved their skin from eczema.

Usage - Moisturizer & Night Cream - A user wears it as a moisturizer under makeup by day and as a night cream applied before bed as it makes their skin feel hydrated, even hours later, in all seasons, including the cold and dry weather of New York winter. For $36, one tub lasts over 6-7 months, and for each purchase, First Aid Beauty has pledged that 10% of sales will go toward their $1 million commitment to help pay off student loans.

Usage & Winter - A user who owns most of the FAB skincare line finds it to work well for their older skin, and they combine it with oil in the winter at night to keep their skin hydrated during the harsh northwest winters. Other users have also used it for their skin during winter and eczema.

After Effect - It makes the skin feel good, not dry and painful.

Breakout - Some users have experienced a breakout after using the products, and one seems to be allergic to all FAB products as their face broke out in small spots. At the same time, the other got irritated skin, and thus recommends others to spot test before using.
Burning - A user with ragweed allergy experienced a burning sensation and thought it might be because of the feverfew ingredient, as it's closely related to ragweed. Other users (with sensitive acne-prone skin and eczema) also experienced burning, possibly due to the eucalyptus.
Hydration - A user finds it to be hydrating, especially when they use Tretinoin, and they have no issues with the eucalyptus. Other users have also noticed that it makes the skin hydrated with no excess shininess, is fast absorbing and safe for sensitive skin, and helps with distressed skin, dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Moisturizer - It turns into an occlusive moisturizer. A user with irritated patches around their eye used the product, and it was able to moisturize and prevent the skin from glaring. Another user who uses it daily claimed that it doesn't make their skin burn or oily, gets rid of sunburns overnight, and is moisturizing enough to smooth their eczema.
Redness - A user claimed it calmed a bit of the redness on their skin and expected it to completely go away after a few days, and its no richness going down will be visible, but it makes the skin a bit dewy and hydrated.

Residue - It doesn't leave a greasy residue.

Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Balm - A drugstore alternative is the Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Balm, which is pricey at full price, so it's best to buy it on sale, and it can be used for the face and body.

Comparison
- First Aid Beauty vs Cerave
- Price
- Value
- Positive
- Negative
First Aid Beauty vs Cerave - Cerave is heavier and more occlusive, but both have a matte finish on a dehydrated/combo skin. The FAB has a buttery texture because of the shea butter and dimethicone, and it has a luxurious feeling compared to Cerave.

Price - It's a middle-of-the-road moisturizer at $36, but it is worth it as a little bit goes a long way; thus, a 6-ounce container lasts for months. It has a mid to low point price range from $20 to $48. In Canada, it costs $64.
Value - At full price, it feels like a splurge, but the purchase can be more justified during sales. Also, it's big for 170g, $48, which is not that bad considering that a lot of the other creams on Sephora are tiny for the amount.

Packaging - It comes in recyclable packaging and is reef-safe.
Roxanne Latulippe
11/25/2021
Purpose - It's supposed to be best for people with normal to dry skin, which can be seen right away as it has a thick creamy consistency, which is not ideal for oily skin types as it's supposed to offer intense hydration. It also claims to be a skin protectant; thus, it helps hydrate dry, dehydrated skin and relieve minor irritation and itching due to eczema and other conditions.
Quantity - Finishing one tub will take at least 4-5 months of twice-daily use.
TheFantasia.com - KANE DANE

Sales - It's one of the best-selling moisturizers of all time, and one seems to be sold every 30 seconds.

Study - According to studies, in a consumer perception study with 21 participants, after 2 weeks, 100 reported the product helped soothe, moisturize, and condition the skin. In an independent clinical study with 21 participants, users reported 2 times more immediate increase in skin hydration, showing a subtle glow that looks healthier.
Underappreciated - A user of the cleanser and eye cream with their mom, also a user of the ultra repair cream, thinks that the brand is underappreciated as the products just work.
