"The First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream is super dense with occlusives like shea butter, so only indulge in this one if your skin can tolerate it."

"If you don't know this moisturizer, I have recommended it for years on my channel. Particularly if you're someone who really struggles with dry skin or eczema, you are going to love this moisturizer. Not only because it has colloidal oatmeal, which is like one of the best, if not the best ingredients to help target and soothe eczema, but also has glycerin, squalane, shea butter, and one of the things I love about this moisturizer is you get a large amount. Even if you go with their smaller size, I believe it's like 5 oz and I think they go up from there, you get a lot of product for a really good moisturizer that's going to last you a long time."

#1 Skincare at Sephora: What I'd Buy for YOU! 🛍️

"This is one of my favorites. If you're somebody who struggles with any sort of skin issues, you have to have the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream on hand. This is so great for any sort of eczema, dry patches, breakouts, even burns, rashes, you name it. [...] When in doubt you use this. In my opinion, if you have skin issues at all in any way, this is something that's so great to have on hand. You can use it anywhere on the body. [...] I fell in love with this specific product when I actually started using retinol and I went too hard on the retinol and my skin started peeling, and I lathered myself up in this and it literally saved me. I always have one of these on hand and I always recommend it to all my family and friends too."

"First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream is supposed to be sensitive skin friendly, but that one was loaded with eucalyptus extract or eucalyptus oil. It's always been hush hush, pretend we're sensitive skin friendly, but we're going to make a lot of products that really aren't."

A Lifetime of Moisturizer Testing 💧💦 What Actually Held Up & My Most Purchased Face Creams

"I find a brand called First Aid Beauty, and I really get into them. Their Ultra Repair Cream. I switched to this. My skin didn't react the best. I think I had a little bit better luck with the thickness of the tiger grass cream, but First Aid Beauty says they're great for sensitive skin. [...] Well, there's eucalyptus oil in most of their Ultra Repair Creams. So this one was a short phase, but it was a moisturizer that I used for probably six or seven months and ended up now using it on my body to finish them up."

Skincare Brands That Get Sensitive Skin All Wrong

"First Aid Beauty really made their name off of this Ultra Repair Cream which is supposed to be sensitive skin friendly, [...] yet at the same time they put eucalyptus oil in it. [...] I had an allergic reaction or some sort of dermatitis or eczema reaction to it, but a lot of people use this without any issues, so just because I had a reaction doesn't mean most people that use it are going to. Everyone's sensitive to one thing or another, and maybe eucalyptus oil isn't the trigger for most people. It's very individual."

"The moisturizer option is the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. It has a nice rich texture to it, and it's great for helping to repair the skin barrier. It is a little bit more expensive than the Neutrogena Hydro Boost we talked about, but it has a really elegant feel to it, a little bit more premium, a little bit elevated experience, and I think that you'll really like it, still without really breaking the bank."

"If you need something that's a little bit richer but can still be nice underneath your makeup and underneath your sunscreen, the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream is a really nice one. It's going to be a little bit thicker because it has ingredients like shea butter in it, but it's super nourishing for your skin. If you do have super dry skin, you might want something that's a little bit thicker."

"This is probably one of the very first skincare products that was ever a holy grail for me, the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. The texture is amazing, your skin is going to be so moisturized after that. And I love it because it has oatmeal so it is very soothing. I'm a big oatmeal gal. It can help with irritation and it can help with a disrupted skin barrier. I'm just a huge fan of this moisturizer all around. I recommend it to so many people. You can use it on your face and your body, which I also like because it's a multi-purpose type of product. If you are really prone to dry skin, flaky skin, even without a retinoid in your routine, if that's just something that you deal with because you might have mature skin or eczema or you're just dry, this is an excellent moisturizer."

"I have used the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream for so many years and it's always one that I reach to and go back to. When I travel I will often put some of this in like a little jar so that I can use it on my face and body to just simplify my routine. I have also found that in my dermatology practice that my teenagers with eczema love this cream. I don't know if it's just because it's more of a beauty brand than sort of like a drugstore brand and it feels more exciting to put on, but for whatever reason the compliance with applying this particular moisturizer in my eczema patients is amazing."

"I was looking at the ingredients on the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer and it looks beautiful, it looks non-irritating. It's got some urea in it, some allantoin, just a really overall nice formula. They also have a moisturizer with SPF on the same day, a hybrid as well."

"First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream might be something that would be interesting for you if you don't love thick balms. This particular one has ceramide NP, it is fragrance-free, and this is a brand new one. It's like whipped cream, it looks like Cool Whip, it feels like Cool Whip, it looks like Cool Whip. It's what I imagine Cool Whip would be if I put it on my face. It retails for $38. It's not as greasy as the Aveeno one, but if I had really bad eczema or a broken skin barrier I would just like cover my face in the Aveeno one, but this one is just like it's nice, it's just it's nice. I hate the jar though. Why is it an open jar?"

"First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream is loaded with ceramides and anti-inflammatory ingredients as a calming emulsion that relieves dry prickly skin, but I was not a huge fan of this. For my skin, which is oily and acne prone, it just was not it for me. I felt that it kind of balled up on the skin. I didn't feel like it was really moisturizing and hydrating. I do like that it has ceramides in it, but there are a lot of other products with ceramides that I like better."

"This is one of my favorite moisturizers for drier seasons, the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. It has ingredients like glycerin which are humectants that help to moisturize the skin, shea butter which is a lipid and emollient that helps to soften the skin and prevent transepidermal water loss, dimethicone which is one of the best ingredients in skin care and serves as an occlusive, squalane which is one of my favorite skin care ingredients and helps to prevent transepidermal water loss, and ceramide which is the most important lipid in the skin barrier. It also has colloidal oatmeal which is an FDA designated skin protectant and very effective for people with eczema, dry skin, and itchy, dry, irritated skin. The texture is whipped and it just kind of melts away on your skin as you put it on, and even though it has heavy hitter moisturizing ingredients and provides a ton of protection, it's got that really lightweight feel. It's non-comedogenic, very effective, has amazing ingredients, and has ingredients that soothe the skin if you have dry, itchy skin during the winter. Overall, it's a fan cult-favorite and a really good moisturizer for the winter."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Source: DermNet

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
