First Aid Extra Repair Cream

Kachina624 · ‎03-10-2010

There's no place to write a review as it's sold out. However, I got the recent TSV today and must say, I don't care for it. Its extremely greasy and is not absorbed but sits on the skin and feels awful. That may be okay overnight but not during the day when you're handling things. I'll use up this order but would not buy again.

Along the same lines - I'm not impressed with the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer I recently purchased. Sits on top of your skin and is so not ultra. I have to moisturize after I moisturize.

I did not realize this has sold out as I did order and my order is still sitting in the Preparing your Order netherland.

I had previously purchased this as a TSV in years gone by and was undecided about purchasing this TSV at first. I decided to as I am finishing up the last of it and the reason I decided to reorder is because I had the opposite experience in that it doesn't feel greasy and quickly absorbed into the skin. Sometimes I like a lighter lotion/cream.

Not sure if they have changed it or if different people have different experiences. Guess I'll find out should I get it.

I wish QVC could provide reviews even though an item has sold out. I'd like to read customers experience with the FAB TSV. They say the formula has never changed, but is that true? The founder sold the company to Proctor & Gamble. That's usually when products get changed to a lesser quality. Just my opinion.

Yesterday I went for my yearly wellness check, as they call it. The nurse had a wicked time trying to get my EKG to be able to "read" or(whatever the term is). She kept getting what she called static. She asked me if I had put any lotion on. Well yeh, I had slathered my arms and legs in the First Aid URC cause I'm so dry and flaky.

She pulled the thingies off my legs and arms and cleaned those areas with alcohol, stuck them back on and tried again. Better but no cigar. She asked if I had put it on my chest too, but no I had not. At that point the doctor was ready to come in and do his exam and ask his questions. She came back when he was done and wiped me down some more with alcohol and tried again. BINGO, finally. Geez I have one area on my leg that looks and feels irritated where she wiped quite vigorously.

If God willing I'm still around next for my wellness check I hope I remember not to lather use any moisturizer.

I'm sorry it's not working for you. I decided against trying this brand with the TSV when I looked at the ingredient list and shea butter, the first moisturizer I recognized, was way down on the list. So I figured it would be anything but greasy and not moisturizing enough.

Besides, I have enough body butters to last me for years. I keep them in the refrigerator, and they don't go off that way.

Interesting. I wonder if they did change the formula. I have used this product in the past and never found it greasy at all. It wasn't moisturizing enough for me so I never repurchased.

@Kachina624 I recently bought , because of all the great reviews on Amazon, a product called "Surgeon's Skin Secret Beeswax Moisturizer (unscented)" and I am really impressed. Apparently its been around a long time and is used a lot by nurses, etc. Its also inexpensive. You might want to check out the reviews.

@Kachina624 That's too bad that it's too greasy for you. I haven't purchased it since last year. I wonder if they changed the formula. I like using FAB more in the winter as my skin really dries out with the furnace running. It is a heavier cream and does wonders on my legs and feet.

I recently changed to the Beekman body cream though and that stuff really soaks in and is not geasy or heavy at all. There are lots of goat milk brands out there. Have you tried any? Wonder if that might work better for you.

I'm hoping they haven't changed the formula since they were bought out by someone, P&G I think. I'm still working on old stock I had and I think this is the least greasy product I own.
