The reviews sound pretty good. Have you tried any of their products? What do you think?

Thanks.

I tried some of them a few years ago and don't remember specifics, but I didn't care for them, didn't use them up and got rid of them. they seemed heavy and sort of "retro" to me.

I use several of their products. I usually order from their website or get mine at Sephora. There "body" cream has totally changed my super dry skin. A little goes a long way. I did catch it when the Q had the huge tubs as a TSV and put it on auto ship. I love their sleeping cream and day lotion. I've had good luck with their eye cream. I have very sensitive skin and this is a great moisturizer. I also use the body cream on my face. If you want to try, go with one of their kits. Good varieties of products and sizes to start with.

Yes, I think those products are overrated.

I bought the TSV last year around the holidays. I liked the body cream, but found it hard to rub in. Seemed a bit too thick/dense; liked the scent...it was some kind of lemon. Also, bought one for my DD and she said the same about the thickness of the cream. I canceled both Auto deliveries...

Google Beautypedia and you will get reviews of several of their products.

I tried the body cream and lotion last winter and it's pretty good stuff. My husband really likes it and was the primary user of the body cream for his hands. I preferred the lotion for the easy application.

I tried the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream. It is pretty good. But it is not significantly better than Cerave, Cetaphil, or Naturewell (Sam's brand).

I do like to purchase it for gifts when they have a set of four in gift boxes for the holidays. Because as far as prestige body cream goes, it is a lot cheaper than Josie Maran or Beekman (which I have also tried).

Yes. I first tried the ultra repair cream sold in the big tub. Love that stuff! I got the unscented and continue to purchase it, It’s very moisturizing and soothing to my skin. Just bought a tube of the cream cleanser while in Ulta in July. My dry skin loves it.

Thanks.

I have used the cleanser, serum and the moisturizer. I didn't care for the cleanser and thought that the serum was just average. It worked to moisturize and that's all I believe it was intended to do. I bought the moisturizer in a kit where they had a few scents and the unscented version. I preferred the unscented version which I got here as a TSV on the Q. It works great especially in the winter when my skin is so dry and itchy. I find it easy to apply and the moisturizer lasted all day. I will continue to purchase this once I run out.

I use the face cleanser. I just got 2 from Ulta when they had them 1/2 price.

I use Shea Moisture Argan Oil to break down my makeup & then the FAB Cleanser to clean my skin.

It's gentle, doesn't dry me out, doesn't break me out.

I've tried a few other products, but didn't fall in love with any of them, but I have been using the cleanser for quite a while.

I tried it. My skin is super dry and I felt it barely made a dent.

I think there are far better moisturizers out there for less money. Some of my favs are Vanicream, CereVe, Jergens and Eucerin.

Quite some time ago there was a special on 2 tubs of the ultra repair cream so I ordered it based on good reviews. I like it a lot for hands/arms/legs/heels because it absorbs quickly rather than sitting on top of your skin. For that reason some mornings I use it on my face instead of my Olay Regenerist, which needs a little time before applying foundation. Also lately for some reason I've been having mild flare-ups of itchy dermatitis on the palms of my hands usually in the middle of the night so I've been keeping it bedside because if I use it as soon as the itching starts it calms it. Otherwise I start scratching and that just makes it flare and burn and itch all the worse.

ou again.

@sunala and for @momoftwo2007

Hello sunala, I had just read yesterday a post that I sent you 3 years ago. How nice to see you, again. Great post to and from each other.

I do take the time, if I am or using a beauty product, and this one I adore. I am on an auto ship, but the 1st one never came...STUCK in a post office 15 minutes from home for over 6 months.

However, I did buy the trial package and gave everything

--- ( cleanser, serum, lotion, THE CREME, and a small moisturizer 5 stars+).

I am now receiving what was to come, now, and another in October.

I have very fair sensitive skin and use only (2) brand products, one will always remain as a richer moisturizer for a drier skin, alternating every three days. Another brand.

I thought at first this was more of a body cream, only, then discovered perfect for ME- my nightly face cream. And a small amount is needed. I love the serum.

Thank you @momoftwo2007 for letting me know that there is a holiday set. I will definitely go Auto Ship or purchase several.

MOMoftwo, I have tried the CereVe, also the Cetaphil and had an allergic reaction. So, those are not for me; nice for those that can.

If wanting to use the cleanser for eye make up removal, then I can not recommend. I have to use J. Maran's oil or close to it.

I know zero about Naturewell from a Sam's brand.

sunala, the small trial sold at Sephora's or Ulta's is worth a try, then you can judge.

Also, at Sephora's you can ask for a sample of that line, but Ulta is usually "A" hard nose on samples leaving the store, or at least here.

BUT! you can try everything IN the store?~??????!!

I absolutely lucked out when I found this product, apparently not for everyone, but the best neck cream I have ever used. NO, CAN'T PLEASE EACH PERSON. ....decisions, decisions.

Have a great shopping experience.

I have a tube of their hand cream, and find it to be immediately soothing and softening, every time I use it. I'm not consistent enough to say whether it has cumulative long term effects! But I'd definitely buy it again.

Re: Has Anyone Tried First Aid Beauty Products?

nyc1 — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 13:03:32 GMT

I really like their Ultra Repair Cream. I have it in the tubs and tubes. I much prefer the unscented, which actually has a very slight clean scent. It absorbs quickly and is quite moisturzing. I gave it to someone in my office several years ago, and she thanked me letting me know that it was the only thing that helped a dry patch on her young son's face (and better than the other creams and prescription that she got from the dr).

Worth a try.

The tubs are not as conveninent as a pump dispenser, but the consistency would never allow for a pump.

Love, love, love FAB. I buy it all the time when QVC offers the large tub sizes! It's wonderful because I have very sensitive skin & I can use it without any issues everywhere (face, body). It does moisturize and I love unscented. Have tried all the lotions mentioned in this forum response & FAB beats them all! FAB doesn't sit on top of your skin nor does it leave a film. Love!

I get really dry skin in the winter and First Aid was the only lotion that moisturized my body so I stopped itching. I got the TSV last year and it had 6 different scents, and I'm on my last one right now I find the lotion to be really thin, easy to spread and not too rich in scent.

Re: Has Anyone Tried First Aid Beauty Products?

sunala — Sat, 22 Sep 2018 05:44:54 GMT

Thanks everyone for your replies.

I'm definitely going to try some of these products. I can no longer stand the smell of my Josie Maran body butters. I'll probably be throwing them out. I was never crazy about them but lately they are literally making me nauseous. They didn't go bad but I seem to have an aversion to her products. One day maybe I'll figure out why.

So I'll be trying the First Aid. Thanks for the heads up!

@sunala I have actually a few too many tubs of FAB cream bought when hey had sets of the super large sizes of the cream. I like it even better then Josie's as it is not as heavy.

Both are nice, I like to change it up. FAB cream is great for all year and Josie is good when really dry.

My husband has psoriasis and I encourage him to use FAB cream on his face too and body but he's stubborn and only dabbles in it.

I liked their aha peel pads, they offer small sizes to try some places but I enjoy trying other peel pads and now I'm using a new ones from Elemis (the line I use) FAB was just as nice IMO.

They have a nice foaming cleaner too...again smaler sizes at some places if you hunt. I always use small sizes on eBay first if able to find and if reasonable. People break up those monthly beauty kits and sell things.

I feel it's a very nice decent priced line of skincare, I always keep the smaller tube near my sink for hand cream when I don't greasy hands from my other brands.
