Nice art direction and styling, I thought the idea was a little weak until I read the copy. Nice, tuff category.

Nice, very simple. The mock ad thing feels familiar, but I think the ANTI-AGING LAUNDRY SYSTEM thought is brilliant.

Well done.

Cool. Nice campaign. Good art direction.

Commendable campaign.

LOL the copy is so horrible. "Remove unsightly blemishes....or keep your bottom from sagging"

WTF.

If you hadn't seen the other (terrible) ad, you'd have no idea what the hell they were talking about.

All women. Why is that?

THEY ARE TAKING THE PISS PEOPLE!!!!!!! They don't want you to like it. These are the exact headlines used in skin care advertising. Google it and see for your self.

It would be funnier if it wasn't for such a huge commercial brand like Colpal. Nice.

Solid campaign!

Nice.
