Review: Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser

The first thing you notice about the new Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser is its delicious, citrusy smell (grapefruit, lemon and spearmint, apparently). This burst of freshness couldn't fail to wake even the tiredest of skin on a dark, dreary winter's morning.



Described as a 'multi-tasking scrub cleanser', this product claims to both cleanse and exfoliate the skin. And it does.

The cleanser part is medium-thick in texture and foams up into a pleasing lather when applied, making you feel like it's really working. I know products don't have to lather to do their thing, but there's something quite satisfying about a good dollop of soap suds.




The exfoliator part (jojoba and carnauba wax) are gentle on the skin. Personally I would prefer a slightly higher ratio of exfoliator to cleanser, as I find myself using a bit too much to get a decent amount of grains.

It is implied that this product is gentle enough for everyday use. However, I tend to only use it on mornings when I've exercised, when my skin needs a really good clean. And boy, is it clean afterwards. Almost squeaky clean, actually, which I think might be a bit drying for my sensitive skin, if I used it everyday.

After I've used the scrub my skin definitely looks more radiant (that'll be all that 'radiance-boosting panax ginseng and caffeine,' I should expect) and it feels very soft to the touch, making makeup application just that little bit easier.

I would give this cleanser/scrub an 8 out of 10 and am intrigued to try other products from the range.

Until next time.
