Can a single US body cream actually fix my strawberry skin after nothing in Switzerland worked?

The hype behind Soft Services

I first saw the Soft Services Carea Cream while scrolling through TikTok in early 2026. Everyone was calling it a miracle for keratosis pilaris, those tiny, stubborn bumps often called strawberry skin. Unlike the heavy, medicinal creams I used before, this one focused on body-care as skin-care, using high concentrations of urea to chemically exfoliate without stripping the moisture barrier. My interest was piqued because we simply do not have this specific formulation available on our local shelves.

Why I could not find it in Switzerland

As of February 2026, Soft Services remains a US-exclusive brand. I checked every major retailer from Manor to specialized dermatological shops in Geneva, but no one stocks it. The brand only ships within the United States, which left me wondering if I should give up or find a creative way to get it to my door. I knew I needed a reliable freight forwarder to bridge the gap between a New York warehouse and my home in Switzerland.

My experience buying from the USA

When I finally decided to make the purchase, I used a tax-free US address provided by my chosen international shipping service. This allowed me to shop on the Soft Services website as if I were living in the States. If you are curious about the mechanics of this, I recommend reading this step-by-step guide on how the process works for international buyers.

How I managed the shipping process

I was initially worried about the cost of sending a single bottle across the Atlantic. To prepare, I used a shipping calculator to see if the price made sense. I found that combining the cream with a few other US-exclusive beauty items made the international shipping rates much more affordable per item. I also made sure to check the shipping rules for cosmetics to ensure I wouldn't run into any issues with restricted liquids.

Understanding Swiss import rules

Importing goods into Switzerland in 2026 requires a bit of foresight regarding customs tax. I had to account for the Swiss VAT, which is currently applied to the total value of the goods and shipping. You might also like to check our guide on import duties to understand the current thresholds so you are not surprised by a bill from Swiss Post when your package arrives.

Is the result worth the effort?

After three weeks of using the Carea Cream, my skin feels noticeably smoother. The stubborn bumps on my upper arms have faded in a way that local Swiss products never achieved. While the logistics of buying from a US store require an extra step, the results for my skin were undeniable. I will definitely be using my comGateway account again to restock before my first bottle runs out.
