Carrie Underwood, 42, says this Weleda cream — down to $17 — makes her skin sing

Carrie Underwood's style may have transformed since her American Idol days 20 years ago, but at heart, she’s still that sweet Oklahoma girl we fell in love with during her audition. Nowadays, when she’s not lighting up the stage, the 42-year-old Grammy-winning superstar keeps her beauty routine refreshingly simple — she even calls it her "lazy" approach. While talking to Today in 2023, Underwood shared that she uses Weleda Skin Food Cream. "It's not even expensive, but it's easy, you can kind of find it anywhere and it does a good job," she said. With over 25,000 positive ratings on Amazon, it's a fan favorite too. And it's only $17 at Amazon.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

As Underwood pointed out, Weleda Skin Food Cream isn't particularly expensive at full price, but now you can save an extra 4 bucks. The 2.5-ounce bottle is small enough to take in a carry-on if you plan to travel this summer, and according to shoppers, a little goes a long way.

Why do I need this? 🤔

"I'm terrible at regimens and stuff like that," Underwood said. "Every once in a while, like once a year, I maybe get to go get a facial or consult somebody and I'm like, 'What is the least amount of things that I can do?'"

The answer just might be this skin cream. It's gentle enough to use on your face and body, and even a little dab has incredible hydrating abilities. It's packed with plant-based ingredients like rosemary, chamomile and pansy extracts, plus sunflower and sweet almond oils. It smells great too.

Yahoo shopping writer Britt Ross tried it out and said it made her eczema-prone skin glow. "I couldn't believe how quickly my skin went from dragon-like to dewy," she said in her review.

It makes your skin look good, and it's also good for you: It's certified natural by the International Natural and Organic Cosmetics Association. And it contains no parabens, phthalates, fake fragrances or ingredients you can't pronounce.

Use it from morning to night. Just note that there's no sunscreen in it, so if you're heading out for the day, you may want to layer SPF on top or mix it in.

What reviewers say 💬

Underwood's not the only one who's gotten, um, carried away by Weleda Skin Food Cream — over 10,000 were bought in the past month.

Pros 👍

"My skin feels and looks way better than it did before. I use this every morning and every night, and I will keep a steady supply. I have tried so many skin care products that are so expensive and so ineffective at doing anything. So for this [inexpensive] lotion to perform so well is a miracle," said one loyal user.

Plenty of people said that they've also used it on their hands, legs and more. "One of the best hand creams I’ve ever used. It keeps your skin soft for hours, even after washing your hands. It leaves a beautiful, healthy sheen and works wonderfully on legs, arms and the décolletage too." noted this skincare fan.

Even beauty pros are fans. "As a professional makeup artist, I love this product," reported this customer. "It’s a thick, creamy consistency and smells like essential oils. It’s great for people with normal to dry skin. I find that this product makes my skin appear very glowy and healthy. I love the way it hydrates and makes my skin shine. I use this product often on my clients and every day on myself."

Cons 👎

Some recommended warming it up in your hands before applying to help thin it out, or use it exclusively at night. "It does take a while (less than 5 min) for this moisturizer to completely soak in, but it’s worth it. I put it on my hands at night when I’m ready to turn in, and it has really helped," wrote one.

Noted another: "For dry skin it’s amazing ... My only complaint is the smell, but it’s natural with no added fragrance and I much prefer that to a heavily fragranced product."
