Those who know the best in beauty have probably heard all about Beauty Ultra First Aid Repair Cream. Known for its ability to lather and lather on your dry skin, it’s considered a “cult favorite” and “holy grail” for relieving that dry, itchy feeling.
However, First Aid Beauty has recently recalled a batch of its hotly-watched formulations across the United States, with the Food and Drug Administration issuing the second-highest risk classification for the popular tube.
The recall of 2,756 tubs dates back to December. 23 but, with the Trump administration freezing many health agency reports, the ban made headlines about a month later. The conclusion? According to Reddit comments, Trump’s removal of health regulators is making skin care users nervous about the recall.
Originally reported by NewsweekClass II hazard advisory, noting “use or exposure to [the cream] may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects.” Aka, a big skincare routine no-no lately.
I’m partially in mourning, along with other beauty fans, because the Ultra Repair Cream has been a staple in my drawer for years. Its ability to blend well and nourish my dry skin deserves the praise it has received.
But a health hazard is a health hazard, and I’m here to list five alternatives I’ve considered over the years that are nearly identical to the recently recalled moisturizer.
Whether you want a night cream or a more versatile consistency that includes SPF, find the amazing range of Beauty First Aid alternatives to shop in light of the latest beauty news.
I can’t stop using the Alpyn Beauty Super Peptides & Ghostberry Barrier Repair Cream. After reviewing Alpyn Beauty’s full line, this new cream is packed with moisturizing ingredients and has a similar feel to the Beauty First Aid Ultra Repair Cream. Better yet, the inclusion of eight different peptides helps smooth the surface of my skin every time I put some on.
Drunk Elephant Bora’s Barrier Repair Cream is such a superstar that I had to share all about it in a standalone review. With an incredibly hydrating feel and buildable coverage, I love how it not only hydrates but gives my skin a nice glow boost too.
Korean skincare is, in my opinion, the movement of the future – and Belif’s The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb is one of those products that just serves my skin well. It’s supposed to help lock in skin’s moisture for up to 48 hours, and I’m certainly feeling those effects. I hardly ever need to reapply and it’s the perfect product to work into your skincare routine for just that reason.
Similar to First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, Olay Regenerist Shea Butter + Peptide 24 Rich Cream contains shea butter which is a key agent in skin nutrition. I love how light and airy this particular formulation is, coupled with the inclusion of skin-softening peptides in its ingredient list.
For a first-aid beauty alternative that costs less than $25 on Amazon, La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dual Facial Moisturizer is my top pick. After reviewing most of La Roche-Posay, this cream stands out in terms of its moisturizing effect (thanks to the brand’s proprietary Thermal Spring Water) and sensitive skin-friendly formulation.
