I’ve been a fan of WELEDA moisturisers and hand creams for a long, long time but I’ve only just tried the Iris products for the first time recently.

The WELEDA Iris Hydrating Day Cream comes in the same sort of tube as the Wild Rose Smoothing Day Cream which is one of my all-time favourites and my ‘go-to’ everyday moisturiser. It has a vague kind of iris-like scent I suppose, but although I’m not a fan of irises, I actually quite like the light floral scent in this moisturiser.

On WELEDA’s own site it says that the Iris Hydrating Facial Care range is for skin ‘up to the age of 30’. Now I’m way, way, way past that, nonetheless, I found the Iris Hydrating Day Cream absolutely fine as a general moisturiser. It sinks in nicely, doesn’t leave the skin greasy, makes my skin feel soft, smells good and for a natural ‘nasties-free’ product is inexpensive. Yes I’d probably opt for the Wild Rose or the WELEDA Pomegranate range as a first choice but I’d be perfectly happy using the Iris range if my other two favourites weren’t available.

I’ve been using the Iris Hydrating Night Cream too and have nothing but praise for that one as well. The texture is slightly creamier and isn’t absorbed quite so quickly – just as you’d expect from an overnight moisturiser. It smells divine though and as an all-round night cream, you can’t go wrong!
