Crabtree & Evelyn Cooks Citrus handwash and hand therapy


This comes as a package together in a swank, sink-side caddy. I really like the caddy. It's a good size for putting bottles of lotions/creams etc and will make a great gift. Now let me review the products individually...



Citrus Deodorising Hand Wash (500ml)




Given description:
Deodorises your hands and leaves them refreshed with a clean, herbal scent! Formulated with natural conditioning extracts of sage, rosemary, alfalfa, carrot and cucumber. Convenient pump dispenser.



The soap is a lemony creamy colour, and is easy to pump out. One thing i like about this is even though it is a deodorising soap, it isn't too strong. Most deodorising soaps i've encountered previously are either too strong or have a nasty chemical smell. This hand soap is neither. I don't need a lot of soap to get my hands feeling clean either.



As for the scent, it's nothing to shout about but i'm sure the crisp refreshing smell will brighten your day anytime.


Citrus Hand Therapy Cream (250ml)



Given description:
Moisturize and nourish hands with this shea butter therapy cream, infused with antioxidant vitamin A, D and E. A delicious blend of pink grapefruit, orange and lemon naturally banishes even lingering onion and garlic odors.


The scent of this product is slightly different from the hand soap it comes with. I can't really say which one i like better, because both are unique in their own way. I like that this one is smaller sized than the hand soap, because i don't moisturize my hands everytime after i wash it so it would make more sense to have less moisturizer to come with it cos i simply don't use so much.



The cream is ultra absorbent and doesn't leave a greasy residue, which is a big plus for me too. Sometimes, i hate putting hand cream because they leave my hands greasy and when i touch stuff, the grease gets on them. Non-greasy hand cream is a BIG thumbs up for me. The scent isn't too strong either, which is great.





I think both products are great used together.








You can get this at any crabtree and evelyn store. You can get the entire package together with the soap, cream and caddy for S$73, or the individual soap for S$30 and the cream, S$65. Obviously, it would make more sense for you to buy the package cos you get the cute caddy thrown in!
