Origani Erda Manuka Honey Peel

It burned my face!! Totally fooled by the “organic” advertising and pushy sales person. Stupidly spent $150 on a product that on first try, left me with burnt skin on my jawbone. Followed the instructions, massaging a small amount for ten seconds and these tiny, rubbery balls started to form and stick to all my fine hair on my face. It said to… Read more

avoid areas with hair, which I assumed meant my eyebrows as I don’t have a lot of facial hairs except for those fine ones that everyone has. The rubbery plastic balls were completely attached to my fine hairs on my face and absolutely impossible to get off, even with water. Four days later and my skin is all dark, sandpaper like and the burns are starting to turn into scabs. Totally dangerous product! Avoid at all costs!

Pushy Sales Staff – My mother (in her 70’s) purchased the Origani Erda Peel for me. She was travelling in Melbourne when she passed the sales staff and they lured her in. Before she knew what was happening the staff person was putting the product on her hand, and then told her that for 1 day only they were offering a half price sale for only $100. The product might… Read more

be ok, but any positives are overshadowed by the pushy staff and their conning techniques. I would not buy this product - purely for the bad service from Origani staff.

Conning pensioner – Sales assistant in Rundle Mall, Adelaide bailed up my 85 y/o mother who was out with her carer and has dementia. By some slight of hand my mother was relieved of $400 for two products. Hard to imagine anyone with any moral or ethical fibre would sell exfoliant to a vulnerable pensioner who clearly doesn’t know what she is doing. Shame on you Origani. The adverse reactions to your products seem to be being triggered by your sales tactics. Show details

Product good.Sales person not good – Product is fantastic. But the sales Rep/Manager at River link made an extremely good sale just would not take no for further product sales.Very rude To the point of nearly asking him to refund the sales. Back in the UK this is considered as being pressure selling and is not tolerated.Please speak and advise your sales reps to stop this pressure selling .It will not do your reputation any good. Show details

Love this product – I have been using product for 2 week ever since I purchased at at Riverlink. My skin is nourished and soft, and I haven't had any reaction to it. I am 65 years old and haven't bothered using products for years. Thank you Ken for making me try and and then buy Origani. My Daughter loves you for it as well. Julie Watson Show details

This product is absolutely amazing! – First of all, the customer service that I got was so personal and made me feel so special! The girl was lovely, for me it’s really important when I want to try something new . I’m using the manuka honey for the last 3 months and I can really see and feel the change! It’s really help for my acne and black heads, my face so smooth . I mix it with my moisturizer but I’m sure I’m gonna try the other products when I finish mine Show details

Such rude sales people – I don't normally write reviews but I feel like I need to for others sake. Walking along in Grand Plaza shopping centre Browns Plains with my 13 year old son. When this very pushy sales person got me over and before even asking for my consent starting rubbing this product on my hand then had another man come over to try and 'close the deal ' the… Read more

products did seem good but I had to explain several times that I financially couldn't do it which he was then really rude about making me feel horrible I couldn't afford it. Also made very insulting remarks saying how bad my acne scarring is and telling my 13 year old son that he needs to stop gaming so much and eating so much take away because he has dark circles and a puffy face. My son has been so upset since. IT IS NOT OK TO LET PEOPLE SPEAK TO OTHERS LIKE THIS. Note to everyone else, just keep walking! They are just money hungry bullies.

So good – OMG this Manuka honey peel is amazing, I’m using skin care for years and only two days ago Vida from northland changed my life! Thank youu ❣️ Show details

Origani face peel – Absolutely amazing I just lost 45 yrs of skin my face feels frikkin awesome Show details

Stop cheating people – In general I wish Origani would just be honest and none of this 'I'll give you a special deal just for you if you buy it now... this deal won't be here after today" crap. Just stop it. Have honest pricing and leave shoppers alone if they want to think about it Show details

Disappointed and feel cheated – I am unhappy with the product and want to return it. I feel cheated since i paid $165.00 for it. I've used products so much cheaper that does not irritate my skin. Show details

Trapped into buying!! Unethical sellers – I bought this product that i didn’t actually even want today at a Westfield. I was walking past and the salesman lured me in telling me i had to try this sample. He rubbed the product onto my wrist and it was incredible the dead skin that came off and how smooth it was! I told the man i would have a think about it and come back as it is quite… Read more

pricey ($165), but he did not accept that. He said ‘let me see what i can do!’ and then offered me a discounted price. Again, i said i would have a think about it and come back. He then pressured me further by saying he would take it down to $120 for me only. Again, i said i would think about it and possibly come back. He insisted that he would be gone very soon so for the discount i need to get it now. He also asked other strange questions including my age (i am only 18!) and if i have a boyfriend. What was really creepy was he then whispered in my ear “do you want a sexy bag for it or a fancy bag”. I felt so uncomfortable and awkwardly laughed and saying the fancy one. I never even agreed on getting the product before he started putting it into the bag. I then felt the only way to get out of this situation was to just buy it so i did. I had been completely manipulated. I went to my car and i just couldn’t leave the shopping centre as i knew what happened was so wrong and i didn’t actually want the product nor could i afford it. I looked up reviews debating whether i should return it and saw the reviews on this website. So many people with such similar experiences! I knew it was so wrong and unethical so i gathered the courage and returned it to him. I feel so much better now. Lesson learnt!

Definitely Not worth the money – The salesman was pushy and there was really no way out! Single mum, 2 kids and he wouldn’t let up! So disappointed at the product too. For the $650 that I spent I should be in love with the product and hanging out to buy again! Im not! He insisted on booking me in for a facial, but I’ve canceled knowing its just a money grab trap. Don’t waste your time with these people! Show details

Pushy Salespeople, forced to buy unwanted product – Bought product from Miranda Westfield several years ago. They pushed for a demonstration and pushed for me to buy a product, I didn't want. I put 3/5 stars because the manuka honey peel was somewhat good. However does not work alone and does not work with their other products, the moisturizer made me break out and left the rest of my skin very dry… Read more

(I have combination Skin), you'd think if a person forces you to buy it, it would work on the most common skin type but the fact it didn't was false advertising, a con and very invasive. I felt stupid spending $600+ on products and was depressed and anxious about it for a long time. I thought it was just me but judging by the reviews it was them! Honestly even if the product worked, I will never buy this product again. Not worth going broke for, Greedy corporation!

Pushed into sales at Riverlink Shopping Centre – My skin was very dry and tingling.l felt as if my face was on fire l also was pushed into the sale. He would not let me go without making a purchace l am a pensioner and really could not afford the products but he said they didn't work unless l purchased the whole range..Now l am struggling to pay it off. VERY DISAPPOINTED  Show details

Pushy salespeople poor product – After being basically accosted by your salesman in Riverlink mall I found myself buying this product and now my skin is horrible I have hard balls of product that won’t wash off I have wasted $165 I really couldn’t afford but was so pressured I didn’t feel I could refuse Show details

Yeah right – Very professional chap introducing this unreconstructed Neanderthal to this product. My natural scepticism kept the $’s in my grubby mitts. If something seems too good to be true it usually is; at this price my ambivalence won hands down.  Show details

Staff are predatory – The staff are like seagulls. If you throw chips at them, they'll aggressively eat up the chips you gave and try to coerce you into giving them more. If you show signs of being vulnerable, they'll launch at you aggressively and will try to take every single dollar you have. They'll manipulate and gaslight you into giving your money wherever they… Read more

can, and will act aggressive if you don't give in. You know the manuka honey exfoliator that they put on your hand and when you rub the liquid, white little flakes rubs off on your hand? That's not what a real exfoliator or scrub does. With a bit of research, it's actually GLUE, so when they brush it on your hand, it makes flakes come up.

Terrible experience – Just like everyone else in these reviews I was basically coerced into buying this mediocre product. This happened 3-4 years ago - I was only reminded of it when I was cleaning out the bathroom drawers - and it's amazing that the same tactic is still being used! My experience was a little creepier however, as I was only 16 at the time and didn't… Read more

know how to say 'no' to the creepy and extremely pushy sales rep. He rubbed this stupid stuff all over my face for about 20 minutes, making me extremely uncomfortable, and kept saying how beautiful my skin was. EUGH! I should have kicked up a fuss then, but I hadn't experienced anything like that and was way too embarrassed to tell anyone. Trust me people, there are much better skincare brands out there that won't cost you an arm and a leg OR violate you in the process of buying!!!

This product made my skin worse – I'm from the Philippines and this product from Australia or owned by an Israeli made my skin worse. I was walking in the mall with my friend and suddenly a lady appeared to my side in front of their shop holding a small teaspoon or whatever you call it with a product on it and started applying something on my skin. My friend told me to ignore, but… Read more

ignored my friend instead of the sales woman. So we found ourselves sitting on their lobby while the sales woman who approached me continuously applying the thing onto my hand and showed me how the first layer of dead skin cells were removed. She applied it to my friend as well, who gave me disgusting looks. So this material is so damn expensive yet I bought it because they promised to change and improve my skin. I'm suffering for pimple breakouts for several years now. Having sensitive skin, I only use Cetaphil as my partner soap. And Micellar toner. Nothing more. My face didn't have pimples for the longest time and I was happy about it since I was able to control it, until this Manuka thing came to my life. It's disgusting how they keep lowering the price from ₱6,000 plus to ₱4,000 just for me to get it. The sales woman told me "Sir, this is the first time I'm doing this but I'm going to give this for you at a lower price. Not only that, you can have you free facial today as well. I'm also giving this voucher to you for next month so that you can avail the free facial. Sir, this is the first time I'm doing this and I'll only do it for you since my boss is not here".

"Wow!" I uttered inside my head. "What a nice woman she is". Of course, because I'm stupid and gullible. Then, her assistant was like "imagine that sir". It feels like I owe her something for giving that magical voucher to me. She even showed me pictures of some of her clients. The before and after pics that represents how changed they are right now. So, next I found myself in front of their cashier and swiping my debit card. It actually failed twice then I told her to try it again bypassing the PIN. Woah! It worked. I was charged. How the heck didn't I listen to my guardian angel who was trying to save me at that very moment? I found myself next lying on their bed and one of their therapist working on my free facial. She was kind and nice though but I hate the fact that she didn't wear some gloves and keep touching my face with her bare hands. She even mentioned she ate nuts before that. I wonder if she washed her hands though? So unpro. Not sure if I'm gonna user their soap made from the Dead Sea.

Really is amazing – Gosh this stuff is amazing. I wish I could afford to maintain using it. Have used up 2 bottles in the last 3+ years.. and will buy again once finances allow. I had a pushy sales rep, but I just told them let the product sell itself mate, and it sure did.  Show details

Manipulative if you see in a shopping centre RUN – Horrible manipulation from the sales people, had the same experience as other users, I was dragged into a stall and told to try the product on my hands, then was shown how after using the peel the moisturiser sinks in more, only he didn’t think I noticed on the hand with product on he put a dab of moisturiser and on the other he put quadruple the… Read more

amount? When I pointed it out to him I was told ‘no no darling it just soaks in that much better using our Manuka honey scrub!’ Then when I kept refusing he kept lowering And lowering the price. Blatantly using dishonest tactics to push the sale by using different amounts of product and lying about it. Do not deal with this people they are dishonest and obviously not selling a high end product if they can halve the price and then some when you refuse.

I feel like I have a baby skin – The product is really good, it makes my skin soft and clean. It is good to remove all dead cells and make the skin breath again. A weekly exfoliating is something everyone should do, and this product certainly makes the skin looks great.  Show details

Manipulative, pushy, rude sales assistant not adhering to COVID-19 safety laws. A violating experience – I was accosted by a pushy and manipulative sales assistant outside the store on Little Collins Street in Melbourne today. The woman lured me in with over the top compliments on how good my skin was, and insisted I needed to preserve it. She sat me down and started using this product on my hand, which removed the top layer of skin. She didn't ask,… Read more

but she just grabbed and started doing this. It was a gross violation of my boundaries and my body. Her spiel continued for ages and she kept pushing a $300 kit on me, offering more and more freebies including free facials in store and soaps and extra products. She didn't care that I didn't want to buy anything and kept falsely lowering the price, saying it was below cost (I find this hard to believe). When I encountered her in the street she was friendly and I simply thought she was going to offer me a sample in the store but she just went on and on and it was almost impossible to leave or get a word in. She had no respect for my boundaries and did not adhere to covid rules. Her mask was down under her nose and she kept grabbing my arm and hand and sat way too close. As she figured out she wasn't going to get a sale from me she became visibly angry and rude. Very manipulative behaviour all round. I am very well educated in psychopathy and abuse and she was employing psychopathic techniques in order to try to make a sale. I was not impressed and I felt grubby and violated from the experience. I even considered going to local police afterwards to report their behaviour which I consider extortionate and very risky during covid. Currently considering other avenues to report this brand and stop them from behaving like this with decent and unsuspecting customers.

Disgusting!!!!!! – This company if it is a company!!!!!!! Firstly the staff at the Westfield in Geelong grabbed my arm & made me go into there shop & test out products after telling him I wouldn’t buy them & I couldn’t afford them. He said that’s okay it’s $200 and I could give me a discount of $100 I said no I can’t he said hang on I have a ripped box I’ll give… Read more

it to you for $89 I said no I have to go he grabbed my wrist and said no no test it out the moisturiser isn’t absorbing into your skin. I told him I use high end products I’m not interested he then asked me how I would be paying I said I’m not I have to go he got my wallet out & looked at my cards & said he could give me a discount for paying with visa I was shocked not only did I feel like I was stuck there & held against my will he then, went threw my wallet. I suffer from serve anxiety I had no idea what to do.

I’m disgusted you promote staff to do this! You have so many reviews with complaints of your staff being pushy, rude grabbing people & forcing sales.

I really wonder how many elderly & disabled people you have taken advantage of, someone who isn’t mentally 100% could easily be pushed into purchasing your products, it’s disgusting & you will be caught out for doing this!

Had you put out & teached a better marketing scheme to your staff being polite or selling the products like other stores you might hve a successful business.

Fabulous product, good for sensitive skin – I've used this product for a few years now. My skin looks and feels great, including the rosacea areas. I'm in my early 50s. The sales tactics referred to in other reviews are true and unfortunate. I buy online now. Show details

Something new and rewarding – I am so impressed about the Manuka Honey Peel! It is mind blowing how you can see the results Clearly. I am definitely getting some and using! Give it a try  Show details

Horrible!! – My experience with Origani has been terrible, I purchased the products mentioning to the rep I have very sensitive skin. He ensure me that the products are natural and will be perfect for my skin. I started using the cleanser, night cream and the face peel, instantly my skin broke out in massive blind pimples almost like zits, my skin was so sore… Read more

to touch it hurt even showering with my face under the water. I stopped using the product after 3 week. I was told me skin my break out and then it will clear up hense why I carried on using the product. I contacted Origani and heard nothing mentioning I would like a refund, 5 weeks after stopping the routine my skin was still so tender and red. I contacted organi again as I went to a beautician to analyse my skin, my skin was burnt from the products, I contacted organi again mentioning I would like to return the products and have my money refunded and how terrified I am of the products. I got an email back saying sorry and to come in store for a free facial, I thanked you for the facial and declined as I do not wish to use any of their products on my face. 6 months later origani have not made any contact or resolved this matter. You are more than happy to take someones money but you are not happy to resolve or refund when the product is not suited for someone. I have now paid another $2800 to get my skin back to how it was before using your products.
