Celebrities Swear by This Under-$10 Moisturizer for Ageless Skin

Celebrities often have access to high-end skincare, but many still rely on budget-friendly beauty staples. Victoria Beckham, Julia Roberts, and Gwyneth Paltrow are reportedly among those who use the same moisturizer, priced under £10, to maintain their complexions.

The product in question is Weleda Skin Food, a multi-purpose cream formulated in 1926 that functions as a moisturizer, skin salve, overnight treatment, or primer. Its hydrating properties are said to leave skin with a dewy glow, making it a favorite among makeup artists and celebrities.

Victoria Beckham has called the cream a staple, stating in an Instagram video, "I'm obsessed with this. I use it as a hand cream. I actually use it all over my body, but I keep one in my handbag to use mostly as a hand cream."

Molly-Mae Hague also shared her use of Weleda Skin Food in a YouTube video, explaining, "To prime my face and to moisturize, I'm using the Weleda Skin Food. My make-up artist Holly… she always always uses this on me."

Even with her own skincare brand, Hailey Bieber has praised the product on TikTok, noting, "A lot of make-up artists use this on me and I love it, but I know it's a little heavy for some people and be a little bit too oily and thick, but the Weleda Skin Food."

Olivia Attwood told heat magazine that she uses it as a base for her foundation, calling it a "make-up artist hack." Similarly, Erin O'Connor stated, "My absolute must is Weleda Skin Food, which I apply all over my body. It smells so fresh and uplifting too and I never leave the house without it."

In addition to Weleda Skin Food, other celebrity-approved beauty buys that are available at a discount include Paula's Choice Peptide Face Moisturizer, favored by Hannah Waddingham; L'Oréal Paris Eye Bag Eraser, used by Cat Deeley; and Medicube Toner Pads, a favorite of Stacey Solomon. Hannah Waddingham's makeup artist also highlighted Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Exfoliating Toner for its pore-unclogging and oil-controlling benefits.

Tana Ramsay reportedly uses Dove Care + Visible Glow Self Tan Lotion for a subtle tint, while Gwyneth Paltrow, Selena Gomez, and Drew Barrymore are fans of Bioderma Micellar Water for makeup removal. Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Alix Earle reportedly use the Medicube Booster Pro for a radiant glow.

For under-eye concerns, an Inkey eye cream is noted for its ability to reduce puffiness and dark circles, and Reese Witherspoon's makeup artist has shared their use of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, a versatile product that can be used for various skin concerns.
