crabtree & evelyn hand therapy: review

 

A few weeks back I showed you guys the hand creams I bought from Crabtree & Evelyn. In today's post I shall be reviewing them. I figured I would review them all together as the formulation and ingredients list seems quite similar, the only difference I noticed is the scent.

The Claims

Our award winning natural hand cream will protect and moisturise hands from the elements to leave them silky soft and lightly scented with your favourite fragrance.

The Reality
The Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams are a lovely consistency, not to thick and not to runny. They absorb into the skin well without leaving your hands greasy. They feel rich and luxurious to use. 

The hand cream keep my hands moisturised and feeling soft, although I do have to apply it a few times during the day. 

I like that the creams are free of parabens, lauryl sulfates, mineral oil, and propylene glycol.

My favourite scent is the Nantucket Briar its a mixture of a floral and powdery scent. The La Source Hand Therapy smells of ocean salts but not in a good way, this was my least favourite scent. The Lavendar Hand Therapy smells of lavendar. The Citron, Honey & Coriander Hand Therapy smells of lemon and coriander. 

The Packaging

The hand creams come packaged in lovely boxes, which is nice if you want to give one as a gift. The actual cream comes in a slim and sleek squeezy tube although the tube gets very disfigured once you start using the product. The cap may look nice but I can be a bit of a clutz and I know I am going to end up losing it, so I would rather it was attached to the tube. Also it can be a little difficult to screw back on. 

The Price 

Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy: £9/50g
Crabtree & Evelyn Citron, Honey & Coriander Hand Therapy: £9/50g
Crabtree & Evelyn Nantucket Briar Hand Therapy: £9/50g
Crabtree & Evelyn Lavendar Hand Therapy: £9/50g

The Ultimate Question: Would I Repurchase?

Yes

The Overall Score: 4/5

Have you tried any of the hand creams from the Crabtree & Evelyn Range? What are your thoughts?

crabtree & evelyn hand creams haul

I suffer from a bad case of very dry hands. My skin on my hands sometimes gets so rough, to the point where it cracks and starts to bleed, which is rather horrible. It's somewhat peculiar as the skin on the rest of my body is normal.

You won't be surprised to here that I'm always keen to try out new hand creams in order to find a solution, something that will revive my dry hands. To keep them hydrated and feeling soft, not just on initially application but for a longer period of time as well. I have a tub of hand cream everywhere, in my bag, at my desk, on my night stand, all in an attempt to keep them moisturised.

After reading a few good reviews about the Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams I decided to give them a shot. In fact they are award winning according to the Crabtree & Evelyn website. They do a variety of different flavours so I decided to go for four different ones instead of all the same. I opted for the smaller 50g tubes retailing at £9 each so they are nice and convenient to keep in different places. 

If you have any hand cream recommendations do let me know in the comments below.
