Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum, A Natural Wrinkle Fighter

by Shirleen on September 22, 2011 in Origins, skincare product 101 with No comments

Two weeks ago, I have earlier introduced an Origins collection – Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Collection – that helps to defend inflammation (which is an invisible skin ager), making skin stronger and more resilient.

This collection strengthens skin barrier and helps prevent irritation, reduce sensitivity, minimize visible redness, prevent premature signs of aging, calm and soothe skin.

As promised on my earlier post, I’m here to share with you a new anti-wrinkle prescription Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum which claims to have 88% of the visible wrinkle-reducing power of a prescription with 0% irritation! Woof!!

I was given a trial sample (15ml) of the new Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum which is equivalent to half the size of a full size Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum in 30ml.

Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum – S$118.00 / 30ml

Product Profile : Although it’s not the same as prescription, in just 4 weeks nature’s next generation power plant helps visibly repair 4 major signs of aging without irritation. And with continued use, results improve. What will nature think of next!

As retinoids, also known as prescription Vitamin A or tretinoin, are widely used as a dermatological gold standard for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is claimed that they work by increasing epidermal cell turnover and by thinning skin’s topmost layer. Very often, these powerful anti-aging treatments can cause photo-sensitivity, redness, dryness, flaking and irritation.

I’m just a very good example as I do encounter similar skin reactions whenever I use retinoids or tretinoin. This powerful anti-aging ingredient causes my skin to become hyper sensitive, increase inflammation reaction such as redness, flaking and red bumps. I have since stopped using this prescription.

So when I was first introduced to this Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum, I was told that this serum has 88% of the visible wrinkle-reducing power of a prescription with 0% irritation, dryness and photo-sensitivity! It is claimed to be as potent as retinoids without the sight of inflammation! Woof! I was sold!

In the recent years, natural and organic skin care products are becoming popular. If you are a fan of natural and organic skin care, you may well have heard of Origins – a well-known high-end skincare brand that creates high-performance natural skincare that is powered by natural and proven by science. Origins use potent plants, organic ingredients, and 100% natural essential oils.

Origins, introduced in the US in 1990, created natural skin care products such as face wash, face lotion, anti aging serum, lip balm, hydrating body lotion and body powder.

Recently, I was honored (first beauty blogger) to be invited to an exclusive private Origins session at Estee Lauder office to get to know more about Origins and to preview 2 of their skincare lines – Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Collection and NEW Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum.

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Collection

This improved Skin Relief Collection, with enhanced formula, is an integration between Origins and the world-renowned health authority Dr. Andrew Weil. Internal and external factors such as poor diet, lack of sleep, stress, hormonal change and pollution can be harmful to the skin and cause inflammation. This inflammation, that strikes deep within the skin’s surface, can lead to increased sensitivity, redness and premature signs of aging.

Irritation is an invisible ager!

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Collection includes specially-formulated products that work to combat irritation and contain Dr. Weil’s “Signature Six” ingredients of Hypsizygus Ulmarius, Cordyceps and Reishi Mushrooms, Ginger, Turmeric, Holy Basil and enhanced with key ingredient Lily Bulb, which helps defend skin against silent skin agers, making skin stronger and more resilient. This collection strengthens skin barrier and helps prevent irritation, minimize visible redness, calm and soothe skin.

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Collection, now enhanced with key ingredient Lily Bulb, keeps skin calm and strengthened against silent skin-agers. This collection is suitable for sensitive, reactive skin and skin with rosacea.
