"Actually, this one, their Ultra Repair Cream, contains eucalyptus oil, which is a sensitizing essential oil. [...] It's marketed for eczema-prone skin, but it contains a highly potentially irritating essential oil. I've had people reach out to me saying they finally figured it out, removed it from their routine, and their eczema got better."

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

"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."

These Skincare Brands Need to STOP!!! 🛑 Beauty Brands That Are Ruining Everything

"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."

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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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.

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.
