Samples: Origins Plantscription SPF 25 anti-aging cream

So I applied for this Origins anti-aging cream online (you probably already know that I have become obsessed with samples) and it arrived a few weeks ago. I have been meaning to review it since it arrived, but   to be honest, I just could not be bothered. As you may already know, I don't particularly need the anti-aging effects of this cream, a I am only eighteen, however I thought that I would still be able to comment on the texture, smell and other things that you look for in a product.

So it arrived inside a card thing like this, with the sachet stuck with that weird glue-stuff underneath the flap. The card informs me that it has 'Raspberry plant stem cell technology', not really sure what that means or what raspberry plant cells are meant to do, but anyway, it must be a good thing. It also has a list of the benefits of using this cream, which is always good.

It says that it:

• Helps improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles and skin's firmness
• Boosts moisture levels
• Helps safeguard skin from ageing UV damage for a younger-looking you

The card suggests that you use this cream in the morning and at night after applying your serum. However I only used it in the morning and I didn't use a serum, because I never use a serum.

Anyway, I will get on with the review. You get quite a big sachet, which I suppose is so you can test it in the morning and in the evening as it suggests. However I found that it had dried out when I left it in the open air, so maybe put it in an airtight container throughout the day.

So as far as I can remember the cream smelled quite nice, maybe a little strong, but not dis-likable I don't think. The texture of this stuff is really thick, its almost like a clay mask texture, so I guess you only need a little at a time and it is probably good for dry skin. As I say, I can't report much on the anti-aging properties of this cream, but overall I found it to be a nice moisturiser.
