Anti-Aging Rating: 2 out of 5 Overall Impression: Fair
Review
Origins was introduced by the Estee Lauder company in 1990 as a line of skin care, cosmetic, and body care products with a natural bent. It has been especially successful in the 18-35 market as their products seem to be marketed the most to this demographic with unconventional product names like �Youthtopia,� �Make A Difference,� and �A Perfect World.� It�s a middle range line that does have some bent towards anti-aging but seems to be more about �youth preservation� (i.e. keeping young skin young but not necessarily reversing age that has already happened in older skin).
They originally made their name on the claim to being �all-natural,� but later changed it to just �natural,� as they were receiving some criticism for using the all-natural slogan while including a number of synthetics in the product line. It is very difficult to assess how �natural� this line really is as they do not publish their ingredient lists on their website (aside from mentioning a few natural extracts as key ingredients), which is a red flag considering their major claims are based on their ingredients but they only disclose certain ones. Reviewers seem to give the line an overall neutral rating for anti-aging effects (though a much more positive rating for their hair care products).
Typical Price Range
Up to $65 for a face product and up to $35 for an eye-area product.
