Weleda Skin Food has been hailed by Amazon shoppers as a 'holy grail' skincare product - it's even beloved by Hailey Bieber

Skincare lovers have named an £11 moisturiser the "holy grail of skincare". The budget skincare product targets dry and rough skin, and hailed as a "dry skin miracle", has had over 30,000 reviews on Amazon and is one of its 'best sellers' being an Amazon Choice product - where one that is sold (worldwide) every ten seconds.

Weleda Skin Food has been around for decades (since 1926) and has consistently had shoppers hooked with a whole bunch of five star reviews describing it as being "gold for the skin" and "magic" - it's even caught the attention of Hailey Bieber, who uses it as part of her skin prep. What's more is its 30ml travel pack size has got 33% off, making it £6 - for the larger one, it's not that much more expensive, costing £11.95, which still makes it cheaper than LookFantastic's £14.

Made with natural ingredients like sunflower seed oil, wild pansy, chamomile, calendula and revitalising rosemary extract, the cream is a thick, nourishing treatment for the face, elbows, hands and feet - an all body experience - and refreshes dry, flaky and skin in need of TLC by replenishing the skin's moisture, transforming lacklustre skin.

And Amazon shoppers have been left gobsmacked by its results with some even comparing it to Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream due to its transformative results.

One fan of the product, which has amassed over 23,000 five star reviews alone, wrote: "After using many much more expensive creams but still having outbursts of dry patches around my nose and between my brows, this was recommended by a friend. OMG! this cream is unbelievable, i wish i had bought it years ago, would have saved a lot of money and bad skin.

"A little goes a long way. A thick, creamy texture and also makes an excellent base for makeup. Recently found out a lot of MUA's use this as a base primer. My skin is literally the best it has ever been."

Another added: "This cream is like magic. I like to use overnight and my skin is so dewy. The next morning it feels super hydrated. I like to wear it on my chest for a night out for a subtle glow!"

A third stated: "Can’t believe I’ve lived without this product so long!! It’s a magic cream! Works especially well if you’ve got caught in the sun and are peeling. After applying, cream sinks into skin and makes it look flawless."

What shoppers weren't so fond on was how small the bottle of, with many stating they'd need to stock up so they don't run out. Some commented on the fact that it was a tad too thick-a-consistency for them. " It literally feels like putting vaseline on your face and it does not sink in. i applied it to my face at 2pm and by 11pm i could still feel the thick and sticky layer on my skin," said one.

"It’s super thick and hard to spread and makes my skin really really greasy and takes forever to dry," added another.

While Weleda is at the top of its game - and has been for decades - there are a number of contenders whose products combat dry skin and give you a hydrated glow. Neal's Yard Frankincense Hydrating Cream has been dubbed a 'treat for thirsty skin' - although it's a little pricer at £33. For something a little more lightweight that absorbs quickly, Cetaphil's Daily Hydrating Moisturiser (£14.49) contains hyaluronic acid and protects the skin against dryness. If you suffer with skin that's 'dry to very dry' CeraVe's Moisturising Cream with hyaluronic acid and three essential ceramides has been formulated with MVE Technology to really lock in moisture - plus it's only £7.50.
