  • Gentle formulas for sensitive skin
  • Rich hydration for dry skin
  • Effective kp-smoothing body scrub
  • Soothing oatmeal-based treatments
  • Heavy, occlusive cream texture
  • Occasional sticky product feel
  • Medicinal, unappealing lotion scent
  • Single-use exfoliating pad waste

First Aid Beauty earns largely positive reviews for gentle, effective staples—especially Ultra Repair Cream, KP Bump Eraser 10% AHA, and Facial Radiance/Ingrown pads—suggesting the brand works for dryness, KP, and sensitive skin. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some formulas feel heavy, sticky, or underpowered, certain scents read medicinal, pads are single‑use, and a few users saw irritation or no results, making performance skin‑type dependent.

  • I like most of their products. I've used the ultra cream on and off for a few years. It does have a medical kind of smell that makes me not want to use it sometimes. The chafe stick is excellent and works as well as body glide.

  • I tried this brand for the first time after hearing good reviews. I really liked the consistency and it felt good on my skin. I might purchase again but the price is steep. I feel like there are better alternatives.

  • I’ve been using First aid beauty ultra repair cream for about 3 years now. I don’t know what magic ingredients it has but it truly does wonders in repairing my dry skin after using retinoids. I can’t live without this! Goes so well on my skin and leaves my face well moisturized the whole day/night!

  • This cream is my absolute go to. Its great for everything. From dry face to dry elbows but most importantly that cream save my hands! I'm training crossfit and calluses are real struggle. They appear overnight 😆 this cream make my hands so soft I usually cut my calluses and put a generous layer of this cream and it helps sooo much. Now in winter time when AC at work will be running way much more this product will help my dry skin on face. Plus price for this is amazing. Havr no smell as well and its gentle.

  • I absolutely love First Aid Beauty! Their products never irritate my sensitive skin and work well in my routine. Some of my favorites are their exfoliating pads, the kp bump eraser scrub, and the dark spot serum.

  • I used the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Instant Oatmeal Mask and was impressed by how quickly it calmed irritation and delivered instant hydration. The creamy texture feels soothing, especially on dry or sensitive skin. However, it’s a bit messy to wash off and may not be rich enough for extremely dry or eczema-prone skin 🤍🤍🤍🤍

  • This mask is a lifesaver for dry, irritated, or sensitive skin—it calms and nourishes in just 10 minutes. The oatmeal formula feels soothing and comforting, especially during flare-ups. My skin always feels soft, refreshed, and cared for after using it 🥣🤍

  • I’m really impressed with this First Aid Beauty After-Shower Nourishing Body Oil. It moisturizes without that cold, gloopy feeling you get from a lot of lotions. It sinks in quickly, leaves my skin soft and hydrated, and never feels greasy or heavy. Such an easy step after a shower and perfect for sensitive skin. I’ll definitely be repurchasing! I will give it 4 stars as I think a lotion is more hydrating, but I'm still happy with this.

  • I recently tried First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream and it is smooth, creamy, and makes my skin soft. I even used it on a mosquito bite and it helped with the itchiness. I will definitely be using this product nightly.

  • My favorite of this brand is the ingrown pads. My friend gave these to me when I was struggling so much with in-grown hairs when growing out for a wax. These are a life saver! Don’t use immediately after shaving! It will burn… BAD!

  • I am so deep in the trenches with First Aid Beauty - I've tried a significant amount of products from their line, and genuinely have yet to find one I dislike. . I am such a loyalist. TBH, I'd buy pretty much everything from them if I could. Top 3 faves & why: 1) Firming Cream - This is my daily facial moisturizer. I slather this bad boy all over my face and neck before putting on makeup. It's extremely moisturizing, I can feel the impact long-term usage is having on my skin's texture/fullness, and it absolutely never irritates my skin. It also sits extremely well beneath makeup as a primer. Hard to explain, but this is one of those products where you can just tell the difference & know it's working. It's enriched with peptides, niacinamide, and collagen. 2) KP Eraser Body Scrub - I've dealt with keratosis pilaris since I was a teen and I can't stand it. For me, my bumps look like soon-to-emerge pimples (even though they're not) and I find it extremely unsightly. This body scrub is a godsend for getting ahead of the pore-clogging before it's too late and flares up. Been using it for years now; it's always in my shower. 10/10 recco for my KP homies. 3) Ultra Repair Oatmeal Mask - This is the most moisturizing & nourishing face mask I have ever used. My face literally feels like fresh baby skin after using. I live in Boston, so in the cold & dry weather, this is a go-to. Moisturizes without making my skin oily, and smells really nice without being heavily fragranced. Love!! TLDR: First Aid Beauty does not miss. HUGE fan. Much love.

  • This is a deep cleanser with red clay that helps remove excess oil, unclog pores and purify. I like that it foams up easily, it makes it feel like it's really cleaning everything off my face. It's a thick red gel. You don't need a lot of it either, a little bit goes a long way. It My face always feels clean and refreshed after using this foaming cleanser.

  • I have sensitive combination skin and I love the Ultra Repair Cream! I use it on my face during colder months and it keeps my skin hydrated. I also use it on my body sometimes and it keeps me nice and soft. It's a little pricey for the full-sized bottle, but it definitely works and a little goes a long way so you can try out the mini version and still get a lot out of your purchase.

  • I love that this brand has so many targeted solutions for skin problems. I use the ultra repair cream and it has helped me transition into using prescription tretinoin with almost no irritation at all. I recommend it all the time.

  • As someone with oily, breakout-prone skin I love this moisturizer! I will say it probably wouldn’t be good for someone with dry or sensitive skin as it may not provide enough moisture. But it’s perfect for me even layered over my prescription retinol - I would have purchased this over and over again. 10/10 for a humid climate!

  • I have eczema on my arm and on my leg shin and boy oh boy this thing comes in clutch! I love their intense moisturizing product and it helps clear up the eczema within 2 weeks!! It’s slow but you can see the progression and you can definitely tell which part of your skin has the product applied after about 4 hours.

  • First Aid Beauty is an affordable luxury skincare find! The products I’ve tried are nighttime masks and firming creams. They go on thick and absorb quickly into your skin. I wake up feeling like my face has been reguvinated.

  • My go to for Ingrown hairs! These pads are literally a life saver! They help prevent and heal razor burn and those painful ingrown hairs. I love how easy they are to use and they don't dry my skin out. With 2 power house ingredients BHA & AHA, salicylic acid and glycolic acid plus witch hazel and aloe. Each single use pad exfoliates dead skin to help prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs. They're even safe for sensitive skin. They're also vegan, alcohol free and cruelty free. I recommend grabbing you some especially with summer around the corner.

  • I tried the coconut water moisturizer and I was disappointed with the outcome. I thought it would hydrate and plump my skin more but it just left me looking shiny and greasy. Now I use it as backup if I can’t find my other moisturizer.

  • I purchased some of First Aid Beauty products since I followed an influencer that promoted them. This was over 4 years ago. I eventually wound up stop using them since I did not find that they improved my skin at all. I personally would not recommend this brand.
