Crabtree & Evelyn Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Crabtree & Evelyn is an online distributor of numerous cosmetic and skin care products. Our first impression about the site is that the products featured have a certain elegance. The website is attractive and the site devotes itself to the selling of many types of hand and foot cream, fragrances, night time lotions and aromatherapy soaps. The products are chiefly marketed towards women of all ages but there are also a few cosmetic products for men.

All Crabtree & Evelyn products are made from natural ingredients and extracted from a variety of plants and herbs. The majority of this brand’s hand creams are said to rejuvenate, nourish and purify the skin. Most of the hand lotions and creams are said to smooth your skin and to keep hands moisturized for long periods. The site specifically mentions that none of their products contain artificial ingredients like sulfates propylene alcohol, mineral oil or parabens. Every type of fragrance is available and the site is nicely designed; while browsing the site, you get a sense that you can actually smell the fragrances. The website also has products for men who want to maintain good healthy skin. The Daily Face scrub for men is said to deep cleanse the skin and work as a mild exfoliant.

Product Details

Unfortunately Crabtree & Evelyn does not list their ingredients under each product. They do claim to use all natural extracts from plants and herbs and to include no synthetic chemicals. From searching the web, it appears that some of the Crabtree & Evelyn products do contain avocado butter, grape seed oil, emollient shea butter and antioxidant olive oil.

All of the ingredients appear to be natural and derived from various botanicals and plants.

The Good

  • Relatively inexpensive.
  • A range of home products including cosmetics fragrance and even night wear.
  • Excellent customer service.
  • Has a return policy.
  • Crabtree & Evelyn contains no artificial chemicals.
  • Products do contain antioxidants.
  • Does not make outrageous claims.
  • Website has a great section on skincare tips.
  • Specials available.
  • One of the most attractive sites on the web.

The Bad

  • Wish they had a complete list of all ingredients.
  • No testimonials
  • No pre or post photos
  • Not specifically formulated to treat or prevent wrinkles.

The Bottom Line

Crabtree & Evelyn have established themselves as a premier home store for personal skin products. The company offers a wide range of beauty products and caters to both genders. Each product is detailed and the company does not make exorbitant claims. The most it says about the products is that they do not contain artificial chemicals and that all are made from natural extracts. The majority of these products are said to soften and moisturize your skin. With names like mango fruit, avocado butter, pineapple and ginger shower gel, what more can one ask. The prices are affordable and one certainly can’t go too wrong. And plus they do have a refund policy if you do not like to smell. However, these Crabtree & Evelyn products are more general beauty regimen products and are not specifically made to either erase or prevent wrinkles.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
