First aid beauty ultra repair cream face moisturizer

We purchased First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream so our writer could put it to the test. Keep reading for our full product review.

When it comes to my skin, I’m the first to admit that I’m moisture-obsessed and forever chasing an effortless glow. And I’m not the only one. Natural, sun-kissed skin has become a hot commodity in a world of super-filtered and Facetuned photos. But everyone wants their skin to look good in real life, too—not just on camera. That’s where the right moisturizer comes in. I tried First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream after a bout of tiny bumps spontaneously sprouted all over my sensitive skin and I was on the hunt for something that would help it bounce back. Read on for my honest review.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

Best for: Normal, combination, and dry skin (including with eczema)

Uses: Moisturizing and soothing the skin

Key Ingredients: Shea butter, allantoin, colloidal oatmeal

Potential Allergens: Phenoxyethanol

Byrdie Clean?: Yes

Cruelty-free?: Yes

Price: $36

About the Brand: First Aid Beauty is a beauty brand that targets skin concerns like eczema and dryness.

About My Skin: Normal but sometimes temperamental

I have pretty normal skin—it isn’t spectacular. I’m fairly sensitive to fragrance and I get breakouts from time to time. Seasonally, however, my skin has a bit of a tantrum. When temperatures change it tends to get irritated, red, and sometimes flakey.

Ingredients: Formulated for sensitive skin

First Aid Beauty focuses on creating effective skincare solutions for sensitive skin, and this definitely fits the bill. This formula has colloidal oatmeal, a skin protectant that helps to soothe eczema and itchy, irritated areas. Other key skin-soothing ingredients are allantoin, a comfrey plant-derived ingredient that also protects the skin, and shea butter, which contains lots of skin-loving nutrients and vitamins.

The Scent + Feel: Unscented and lotion-like

This moisturizer is delightfully scentless. It smells faintly like oatmeal but mostly like nothing at all, which I really love. The idea of smelling something on my skin sort of throws me off (especially when it's on my face) so this is a great feature for me. As far as the feel goes, the moisturizer isn’t thin, but it isn’t ultra-thick either. It has more of a lotion-like texture than anything else and it's easy to spread around. A little definitely goes a long way.

The Results: I’m obsessed

I use this every day, sometimes twice. I’ve become a poster child for this moisturizer and will probably never stop using it.

My biggest skin concerns— irritation and dryness—are a non-issue with this moisturizer because it’s literally made for the most sensitive skin.

I like that it’s thick, too (light creams never feel moisturizing to me) and that it leaves my skin looking moist and supple. If anything, it could maybe be a little thicker, but I like the consistency just fine.

The Value: It's worth it

At $36, it’s a middle-of-the-road moisturizer when it comes to price. In my opinion, it’s worth it. A little bit does go a long way (I use maybe a dollop or two for my entire face) and a 6-ounce container lasts me months.

Similar Products: You've got options

If this isn't your speed, or if you find it to be too pricey, then there are other rich formulas that do a great job as well.

Nivea Creme ($7): Thick, effective, and affordable, Nivea Creme has become a cult-favorite for a reason. It’s available pretty much everywhere and works well to really hydrate dry skin.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Soothing Relief Eczema Cream ($15):If you have eczema, this cream from La Roche-Posay is a good choice. Its formula also contains colloidal oatmeal for soothing irritated skin—plus, it can be used on both your body and your face.

Final Verdict

If you want a quality moisturizer that makes your skin soft and glowy without irritating it, then First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream is a must-have. It's also reasonably priced and will last you for months.

Great for rosecea skin

Gentle, cooling and yet the best moisturizer I have found for my ultra dry skin

Report this review

Cooling

At first it seems like it is a thick cream, but it’s not and glides on and absorbs well.  It has an immediate cooling relief sensation from the eucalyptus oil in it although it does not smell. I have combination facial skin and it works well for both my face and body.  This is not my daily moisturizer as I’m very focused on using silicone free products and unfortunately this has dimethicone in it.

Great moisturizer

I love this moisturizer as a night cream. It’s super hydrating but doesn’t leave me oily. As a daytime moisturizer it’s a little heavy for me. I also use it as an eye cream both day and night. Great overall moisturizer at a good price point.

Better than expected

Didn't expect too much for this but feels great on my dry, slightly sensitive skin. I apply this and follow up with a thin layer of a more watery moisturizer that I have. Big size too so great for getting the neck and decollete as well

This cream is good for so many things

I bought my first tub of this cream because I saw it recommended somewhere, am now on my second and have a third in reserve. It's good as just a moisturizer (very soothing and long lasting) and for minor and not so minor skin irritations. I use it on places that get dry and irritated and it calms them quickly. It absorbs quickly too. I don't think I will ever be without it.

Great for Eczema and more

I use on myself and my 6 year old, for eczema and just dry skin, instantly soothes not sticky and no weird smell. Highly recommend.

Great Basic Moisturizer!

This is a great basic moisturizer that doesn't cause any issues with my skin. It forms a really good hydrating barrier to the skin without causing any oiliness.

Great value

My favorite moisturizer. Lasts about a year when using 2x per day. Great value.

Best moisturizer I’ve ever used

I had heard so many good things about this moisturizer so I finally decided to try it and I am SO glad that I did. It is lightweight, feels great on the skin, and truly brought moisture back into my face. Highly recommend

Does Ultra Repair cream clog pores?

Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum: This serum is super hydrating thanks to hyaluronic acid and a few other super star ingredients. It is also non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) which I perfect for me because I have dry, blemish prone skin.
