She is my age 41 and has combo skin but was using it only for wrinkles.
I really like Origins a lot. They really care about what they put in their stuff. and my gf is too! |

I read about this product in a recent magazine, looks very interesting. (I have never been a big origins user in the past, may have to try this one!).  |

Alright. I just ordered some from Ebay. Saved a little like $5.
I'll take before close ups and track my progress with pics along the way.
If anyone is interested... |

| While this product does look interesting I've never been a fan of Origins. Many of their products contain common irritants. And I wish they would list ingredients on their site, its frustrating to track down ingredients when considering a product. |

I do not like Origins, except the mask.
I tried a lot of origins products, but they felt like so normal that has little effect on my fece.
Besides, Origins in HK are not as cheap as in the USA, so I would not buy this brand's product any more.
I like medical skincares recently. |

Well I did not take a picture before I started using this as I had intended. My friend had borrowed my camera and just got it back to me. I was too anxious to start using it and I thought a week would not make that much a difference. Boy was I wrong!
I have seen noticeable improvements after only 1 week of use! Where I had crows feet without making any sort of expression, like squinting I now can't see those lines UNLESS I do squint! It really does smooth things out. and this is not only when I have it on. I can scrub my face and still see it is smoother. It is not an instant kind of thing that only works when you have it on. However it does work pretty fast!
I took some pics today and will take more in a couple of weeks but I am kicking myself that i did not make sure to take those pics before because this stuff works! I really don't like raving about something unless i can show you it worked but I am hoping you all take my word for it and try it.
I'm going to also try the Easy Eye Solutions eye Tuck and Dark Circle Treatment but glad I am using this alone for awhile first to see what is the Youthtopia and what is the Eye Solutions.
If someone on here does try this (you should) please try and take your own pics of the lines that bother you most. it would be great to see some REAL before pics. Mine won't do this product justice. |

It is working!!!! Now around 3 weeks and even better results. I will use this forever. I also just ordered the Skin firming CREAM. Hearing better results and pros on the cream over the lotion. This will be used at night and I now have the Eye Tuck for the day. Still trying to get that one to work. It does temp smooth lines out no doubt and it is weird seeing the under eye area so smooth. but still flakes and I can't manage it just yet. It is a learning curve I guess. Oh well there is another thread on Eye Tuck.
I want to talk about this! Some don't like the smell but I don't mind. It reminds me of some of the skinactives creams (did I say that already?)
I was going to start a review on MUA after I used it for a bit but they just started and so far 100% will buy more. This is my holy grail!!!! I have never said that. Did not really think they existed-for me.
I took pics and I just could not get a good enough before shot to show what I had. I do have (or had) a lot of wrinkles around my eyes so trust me this has made a difference.
I just can't post pics without quality photograpy. I hope you will take my word on it ladies, but this stuff rocks. I repeat I do not get excited about anti aging products like this. Obagi was probably the best for me up until now. Retin A with the blender really worked well. But I am seeing those sort of results. It did not say but it seems to have a lightening effect as well. My spots have lighten up.
And my neck! I have a neck like a 30 year old again! the neck is so important because no matter how good your face looks, the neck is a give away. Like hands. But we can do something about the neck now.
And my lips are looking better as well. The lines above my lips. They have really diminished. I even put it on my lips. what the heck? I had sun damage spots like in the corners of my lips and it made it appear as my lips turned down. It faded that too.
I would love to hear more reviews. Please take a chance on this. This is not a hit or miss product like some. You will see results.
I am going to keep bumping this thread to get attention.
It is the REAL DEAL ladies.... |

You've convinced me! It's going on my (long) list, Wendy. 
I'm trying Karin Herzog at the moment and also want to give Neocutis a go, but I'll let you know when I get around to seeing what this does for me.
Actually, the girls at the Origins counter in one of my local department stores are generally pretty good at giving samples, so I might request one from them next time I'm in town. |

This product looks good and the ingrediant list is good to. I am really liking the Neals Yard frankincense serum at the moment but may try this next!
Thanks for telling us about this
I can't see the before and after pictures you mentioned though because I am in the UK and the site keeps automatically diverting me to the UK site, which is a bit frustrating! |

| Your results sound great, Wendy! I can't figure out what ingredient(s) would cause such an improvement. I'll keep watching this thread though and hope other people will try it and report their results. The MUA review only had 3 reviews of this product, so the 100% would buy again doesn't tell me anything yet! |

This is what it says about it. This patent-pending Rhodiola is there to help "kick start" the repair theskin, (means builds collagen right?) That is something I have never heard of. My girlfriend told me about this and she is not one to use "serums" she uses about everything else in the line but always felt if she just had a good regimen with keeping everything clean that was enough. So for her to push a serum on me told me she really was seeing results. She lives out of state so I took her word for it. So I had to try it. I really think this is what I'll use for some time to come.
Origins revolutionary two-prong phyto-technology actually helps prolong skin’s “youthspan” to help it stay looking firmer in the face of aging. First, patent-pending Rhodiola, the legendary adaptogenic herb linked to longevity, kick starts skin’s natural repair to help reenergize, visibly correct lines and renew skin’s vibrant and youthful function. Then the rejuvenating Amlalaki complex, the “Fruit of Immortality” from the Himalayas, signals skin to thrive to help avert the appearance of aging. You’ll see and feel tighter, tauter skin texture, fewer lines and wrinkles and a complexion that appears significantly younger. |
