My experience with First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream:
Let me tell you beforehand, some products are just magic in a bottle/tube. First Aid Beauty FAB faves to go Holiday kit comes with FAB Face Cleanser (56.7g), FAB Facial Radiance Pads (28 pads), and the famous FAB Ultra Repair Cream (56.7g). Buying the kit makes it more economical if you want to try cleanser and toner pads as well.
Packaging:
The packaging of FAB ultra repair cream is in sync with cleanser and facial pads. I have smaller version which is white and greyish blue tube with flip open cap. Bigger version comes in a tub.
Texture & Fragrance:
First Aid Beauty Ultra repair cream is fragrance-free. Texture of the cream is like air-whipped cream, fluffy and smooth. It spreads easily onto skin and gets absorbed quickly without any greasy residue or film behind.
Performance:
Have you ever come across a product which works from very first use, THIS IS IT. In winters, dry flaky red patch around my mouth tracing my smile lines was so painful and irritated that sometimes it would hurt to touch the skin there. Very first time, I applied this cream generously at night after washing my face with cleanser and using TBS Vit E toner, and in morning the painful patch of skin was no more red and painful. I was stunned.
I continued using the cream day and night both times and within a week the severe dry patch was no longer dry or flaky or irritated. My skin was feeling overall better and well moisturized. This worked like a magic and you would need very small amount for face and neck.
I have used First Aid Beauty Ultra repair cream for 2 months day and night and then after mostly once a day, still tube is not empty yet.
Now the weather is warmer and I have combination skin which gets actively oily patches in spring summer, I find it a bit heavy on face these days and sometimes pore clogging in oily areas. However did not face such issue in winters.
Final verdict: 5/5
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream fulfills all claims it makes. It claims to alleviate and visibly improve dry and scaly skin and to soothe agitated and distressed skin and it does all of that. Moreover It is Free from parabens, harsh chemicals and colourants and is Safe for sensitive skin. Formula contains lots of humactants, ceramides and good ingredients. It does contain Squalane Hydroxide Dimethicone but brand mentions that squalene used is plant derived and this did not irritate or clog my skin. You need very little amount per usage so a little goes a long way which makes it worth the price also it can be used on face and body.
In conclusion I would definitely recommend it if you are suffering from dry flaky skin, eczema or rosacea or you have dry/severely dry skin. This is really good one for the purpose. Combination to oily skin people can skip it. I still have some left in the tube and I will repurchase in winters if needed.
