Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Developed by Swiss scientists, this Crabtree & Evelyn Swiss Skin Care starter kit combines sophisticated technology with natural botanicals to clean, freshen, and moisturize your face. The 24-hour emulsion, formulated with botanical extracts and light emollients, is ideal for day and night moisturizing. It goes on clean under makeup and leaves a light scent. For removing makeup and impurities, the cleansing milk, which is designed to restore the skin's natural moisture, is gentle and effective. Stimulate clean skin morning or evening with the alcohol-free, herbal toner, a witch hazel and chamomile blend that invigorates and soothes. All three Swiss Skin Care products come in shatterproof bottles inside a clean, white carrying tote. --Emily Bedard

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to Crabtree's usual standards., July 25, 2002

The Swiss Care line is a disappointment for me. While I did not purchase the set, I did purchase full-size products from this line. Big mistake. I've been using Crabtree's other lines for years (their rosewater body creme is a staple of mine and I _love_ their entire La Source line) and felt confident purchasing the Swiss Care line as a daily skin care regimen. Unfortunately ALL of the Swiss Care products I bought (cleansing milk, tonifier and deodorant) went into the trash, barely used. They're that bad.

The tonifier is probably the best of the lot, though the main ingredient is witch hazel - which can be disasterous for dry or sensitive skin. I wish they had made the ingredient list available before purchase so that those who do have sensitive skin could be warned.

The cleansing milk is harsh, there is just no other word for it. My skin tends to be rather oily in the T-Zone and this dried up my face to the point that it felt pinched and irritated. This might be suitable for use in a foot bath, but certainly not on the face!

Normally I recommend any and all Crabtree products, but sadly I'm afraid I have to add "except the Swiss Care stuff". It's just not up to their usual standards.

I've been using the Tonifier and Emulsion for years and I love them both. The Tonifier removes any makeup residue and evens out my skin tone without drying my skin out. The emulsion is the perfect lotion to wear under makeup during the day, light but moisterizing.
