I came across this and I wanted to share it with you. I am surprised that no one mentioned this line. The packaging does look familiar and I can't remember where I saw it.
here is the attachment of La Colline Skin Care:

I wish it was offered in the English language. |

Strange, never seen it either.  And very strange that they don't have a english/german/french website, or am I just missing it? |

I don't know but the packaging looks familiar. I might have seen it in one of those small shops. I can't help but wonder how good this line is.
Here is another Swiss skincare line that Cellcosmet is a member with.
http://www.alchimie-forever.com/index.html
With this one, I am not so sure if it is a good line. I think in one of the products, Soothing Milk (apply after getting your hair waxed, etc..., it has menthol in it. Isn't that irritating? |

Maybe the first line you linked to have another brand name too?
The second one I'm not familiar with, but I think it's out of my price range for the time being. I will have to try to get some sampels. 
Anyhow, there are a LOT of swiss skincare lines, many organic, that I want to check up on. And I've also noted that some swiss skincare lines are not really swiss at all! |

La Colline looks SUPER EXPENSIVE!
I'd be better of with Cellcosmet considering the price!
Oh goodness...maybe I'm never meant for what the Swiss make well...except cheese. Which I don't even like that much.
I'd go eat some Toblerone right now, but I gave up sugar for the new year.
Le sigh.
ETA: Alchimie Forever is sold on Skinstore.com!
And it's not tooooo bad pricewise.
There are only 4 reviews or so on MUA though... m... |

| I have tried the La Collin eye cream to compare with the Cellcosmet but the Cellcosmet won hands down, and thankfully it is more affordable |

hi skincare
i heard that lc is not a real swiss line,the potion is made in switherland. but all the package,sale,etc of the line is own to SASA.
i never use it because of its expensive price,but many members of chinese bbs are familar with this brand ,the ligtening and eye contour products are good praised.
i wouldn't buy it,i think cellcosmet and valmont iS excellent. |

| The La Colline website is quite strange in that many of the product names are in English but the rest is in probably German. The product names look almost identical to Cellcosmet and also the cell technology is very much like Cellcosmet. |

The La Colline site is an Eastern European language, no? Sure aint German I think.
Keep in mind, that there would be manufacturers in Switzerland who sell a blind product for people to brand themselves. Also, some products are created for a specific market and not sold anywhere else. An example of that is the Suisse Programme line sold by SASA - it is swiss made, but specificially for them and it is also expensive (based on having a "swiss" connection) |

| I have seen some reviews on this brand in another forum. Most are positive, but the price is very high. |

The fact that something like SkinCode Switzerland is NOT a member of this Swiss organization (the one that membership is determinate upon proof of Swiss manufacture) makes me wonder if it is truly "Swiss." It says it is made and formulated in Switz...and I know it is sold there as well.
Hmm |

Well, it is clear that it does not have the Swiss certification.
Cellcosmet & Alchimie Forever is certified and that is good for us to know. |

I was leaning towards trying Alchimie Forever, but their cleanser has SLS in it and is loaded with parabens.
Skincode gel cleanser, while it does have SLS, it is NOT so far up in the list of ingredients, and it has no parabens...
SkinCode gel cleanser ingredients:
Aqua Water, Glycerin, Decyl Glucoside, Cocamide DEA, PEG-8, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Pentylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Carboxymethyl Betaglucan, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, Polyquaternium-7, Sodium Polyacrylate, Pentadecalactone
Alchimie gel cleanser ingredients:
Water/Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Laureth-8 Sulfate, Magnesium Laureth Sulfate, Magnesium Laureth-8 Sulfate, Sodium Oleth Sulfate, Magnesium Oleth Sulfate, Coco-Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Fragrance/Parfum
But their Diode 1 and 2 Age defying serums gets EXCELLENT reviews. |
