Origins Facial Moisture Review

 Updated On:

Overview

The well regarded skin care brand Origins offers the Nourishing Face Lotion, which is certified as 95% organic and is made to restore moisture and softness to facial skin and protect the face from free radical damage. The Origins Facial Moisture line has several other facial moisturizers including Youthtopia, and Plantidote Mega-Mushroom Face Lotion. Origins Youthtopia is a moisturizer and a skin firming cream that is supposed to reduce the look of lines and wrinkles. The Plantidote Mega-Mushroom Face Lotion is oil free and claims to “optimize the skin’s natural defenses”.

Product Details

The Organics Facial Moisture Nourishing Face Lotion blends organic cloves, rose, lavender, patchouli, and red thyme essential oils. Along with other ingredients and without any chemicals, the Nourishing face lotion claims to give vital nutrients and antioxidant benefits to the skin. Youthtopia primarily uses the main ingredient Rhodiola, a root also known as “Golden Root”. This product also contains Vitamin C and plant peptides and claims to enhance the skin’s natural collagen production, firm the skin, and give a renewed radiance. Youthtopia claims that after eight weeks of use, clinical studies showed that those who used it experienced a 44% reduction in fine lines and a 61% lift in the skin’s appearance. The Plantidote Mega-Mushroom Face Lotion is used to quiet and calm facial skin. It contains Vitamin C and Vitamin E to defend facial skin from “destructive oxidation”. The Origins Facial Moisture website does not offer a complete list of ingredients for these moisturizers.

The Good

  • Clinical data is provided for Origin’s facial moisture products that demonstrates the products’ effectiveness as a moisturizer.
  • Origins Facial Moisture has a professional website and products are available to order online.

The Bad

  • The facial moisturizers from Origins Facial Moisture are expensive.
  • A money back guarantee is not offered and customers must pay for return shipping if they decide to return the product.
  • Customer testimonials are not available on the Origins website.
  • Oirigins is better known for their moisturizers than for their wrinkle fighters.

The Bottom Line

If you like organic and natural products, Origins facial moisturizers may be right for you. If you are seeking a stronger product with more noticeable results, it would be better to seek out a more dedicated anti-aging treatment that contains collagen, retinol, or other ingredients that have been scientifically proven in clinical studies to treat aging skin. Origins products are expensive to try, which is usually the case with all natural or organic products. Origins Facial Moisture products should offer customer testimonials and a money back guarantee since it makes claims that the products are effective in treating wrinkles and fine lines. The products have received mixed reviews on alternate online sources, so it may work for some but not for others. Clinical data is posted for the Youthtopia product, but it would be beneficial for Origins to post it for the other facial moisturizers as well to better demonstrate product effectiveness.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced. Customer satisfaction seems high and Dermapril-SP offers a risk-free trial, so users can evaluate the product prior to paying the full retail price.
