Drew Barrymore Swears By This $19 Drugstore Moisturizer That Makes Her Skin Look Like She’s “Had A Facial.”
WHAT: Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream
WHY: When we discover celebs swear by wildly affordable products, like Demi and CZJ, we get very excited. They can afford any product on earth and choose something under 20 bucks?
It must be good.
And so when we see a celeb use something under 20 bucks that we ourselves already love, we get doubly excited. See evidence of our love over the last 6 years of our existence HERE, HERE, and HERE.

“It’s a classic. It’s been around. It is the most plumping, hydrating. I slather it all over my face, and I wake up and I look like I’ve had a facial,” Barrymore said on her show, The Drew Barrymore Show
And we have loved this product since we were poor college students who refused to go without a solid skincare routine. This was pre-social media (because we are very old) so we had no clue it was beloved by celebs like Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Adele, Rose Huntington-Whitley and loads more. To be fair, Adele and Rihanna were probably actual babies back then but still.
So what makes it so good? Why, among the hundreds if not thousands of other creams out there, from $10 to $1000, is this one so special?
Here’s a window into its uniqueness:
It’s bursting with plant botanicals like rosemary, pansy, and chamomile.
It contains almond oil and beeswax for a mega-dose of hydration.
It also contains calendula, a potent anti-inflammatory, which helps to heal angry skin, and reduce redness and irritation.
Glycerin—the real secret weapon—so your skin glows all day without looking greasy.

And if you’re more of a combo or oily girl (like many of us behind the scenes) Weleda also makes a light version* which is still like a huge glass of water for the skin, but creates an almost glasslike finish which is stunnnning as a base under makeup.
We actually use the thicker version on our cuticles, brows, knees, and the ends of our hair—anywhere that gets extra crusty and dusty as we get older.
It’s the kind of product you start to just buy in bulk because you’ll never want to be without it. Trust us on this one.
