Carea Cream

4.8 • 11 Reviews

I like that this has an effective percentage of urea. It smoothes our and instantly hydrates my skin. Texture is light lotion, and it glides on smoothly onto my skin. I tested it on my husband’s eczema too, and it was very effective.

The carea cream might be my favorite. It it goes far enough with each pump but not to the point where it feels like it's watery. I can tell in noticeable difference in the morning that my skin is still soft from it. The buffing bar is great for heels, especially. I find that it's a bit hard to get all the way around my pointier elbow, but for a rounder shape like a heel it is ideal. I probably would prefer loofah to my elbows than the bar. I really can't tell that the smoothing solution is doing anything. The bottle is a little bit leaky as well. Of all the products, that would be the one that I would not repurchase The theraplush is so lux. I love how it looks on my nightstand and it would be a great gift. I can tell that my hands are less dry after using it for about 2 weeks now every night. I appreciate that there is no intense smell to any of the products. Packaging was great and it seems like it's made with quite high quality ingredients

The lotion and Speed Soak feel great and absorb quickly, which makes them perfect for humid summers. I also appreciate that they’re unscented. The scrub and smoothing solution seem promising, though it’s still a little early to see full results, I’ll update after a few more weeks. The cleanser feels a bit thin and doesn’t lather much, and in this case I do miss having a scent. On the other hand, the packaging is sleek and the unboxing experience feels luxe, these would make a great gift.

This brand is so forward-thinking and cool but also really works! I first heard about them via their collab with DS& Durga, but never got to try it! Instead, I’ve been using their green banana buffing bar which has been amazing - I’ve recommended it to multiple people already. Now I’ve also started using their carea cream on my body and theraplush. I’d probably buy unscented theraplush next time, but every item will definitely be purchased again! Also love how they package their boxes.

Happy to report I've become a big softie. These products are special, and while yes, expensive, have become my go-to lotions and potions. The buffing bar in particular, because how many buffing bars does one really need? This one is delightful, though, because I can feel it working on my skin while being gentle enough that I don't feel raw after using it. Smoothing Solution and Speed Soak are very fun to use, I can literally feel my skin soaking up moisture. Both are gel-like formulations, but my skin isn't sticky after using them. I can feel the products are working and effective, because they leave my skin oh-so-soft to the touch, and the hydration honestly lasts for a long time. A little goes a long way. I'm obsessed with the Carea Cream, a unique formula that's more a liquid lotion than a thicker cream (see my expert hand modeling below), and it too soaks beautifully into my skin and leaves lasting hydration. The one product I might be iffy about repurchasing down the road is the Theraplush hand cream, which frankly is indeed beautiful hand cream, and I love the refillable system. I'm just glad the refills are cheaper than the initial investment. My hands get extra dry during the winter, so I'll be putting this to the test big-time later this year. Bonus points for all products I've used so far: None of the fragrance is overwhelming, more a hint of fragrance. I like wearing various perfumes, and these products will never clash. I also really appreciate the care with which each product was clearly made, as well as the wealth of knowledge shared by the brand. I received a cute and helpful "Software Update installation guide" email after purchasing the retinol product (smart because that's important stuff to know), and I loved the topic of a recent newsletter, which was a part III of their Foot Care Guide for hiking. The trifecta for me: excellent quality and formulations that do what they claim to, non-fussy and beautiful products, and education.

The Carea Cream is a magical combination of moisturizing, exfoliating and calming that works. Ever since middle age hit, there has been an increasing dullness to my skin. This is the perfect combo to bring back a more youthful brightness. I also bought the Smoothing Solution, having tried a deluxe sample of it already. It helped clear the annoying bumps on my legs and I'm looking forward to using it on elbows and knees now as well. Have used the Buffing Bar (original Blue) in the past which worked incredibly well and lasted forever. Very effective product line.

I have been wanting to try this brand for a while. Their exfoliating soap bars are popular and I was excited to be able to get their newest launch. But it is their hand serum that I have had my eye on. The packaging is really nice but I wish it held and came with a bit more product for the cost. I love that it is a refillable system to save on wasting packaging. This also was the nicest packaged order I have ever gotten. You can tell that they really take pride in boxing up your order!

*Update!* Ive now tried most products from this brand, I'm a bit obsessed. Obviously the buffing bar is a star, but my new favourites are the comfort cleanse which is the most luxuriously soft shower gel with an almost oily feeling but leaves you feeling perfectly clean, that I also love for shaving. Huge fan of speed soak, feels amazing, lightweight, and so far I think the smoothing solution is doing good things for my legs that are prone to ingrowns <3 Lastly, theraplush is now an essential for my bedside table! ---- I have only used one product from this brand, but I hope to try more. If i could have a crush on packaging, this would be my number one crush. I absolutely love the buffing bar, as does my partner. No body scrub can compare to the level of buffing this does. I have a set of the green banana buffing bars waiting their turn that I am eager to open when my original one runs out!

I've been using the Soft Services products for a few weeks, right at the onset of the cold winter months, and it's made a huge difference to my overall skin health. I struggle a lot with skin irritation on my legs from outdoor activities and these have helped a ton. I love having them as part of my daily routine. I also love the refillable bottles and discounted refills!

Soft Services is an all around homerun of a company. Their products are effective, a joy to use, and esthetically pleasing. Theraplush and the buffing bars are constantly stocked in my house. Carea Cream is perfect. I haven't met a product of theirs that I didn't love.

I have really bad KP on my arms, and I’ve tried everything under the sun, but this buffing bar (and the carea cream, but I suspect mostly the buffing bar) has made the most noticeable difference in the least amount of time of any product I’ve tried. After using it 2-3x per week for the last two weeks or so, I have fewer bumps on my arms and my legs have never felt softer. The carea cream is nice too; it has a very thin texture, but a little goes a long way. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized without overdoing it.
