Origins Skin Tone Correcting Serum

Origins Skincare Serum

Origins Brighter By Nature Skin Tone Correcting Serum – That’s a mouth full, isn’t it. I just want to say a few things about this, really. First off, I’m a lover of serums and have a fair few on the go at any one time as I really like the way they make my skin feel. My skin is often quite dry, and it just drinks up a serum. They sink in, and it feels like they’re doing all manner of great things (I hope they are too).

So this Origins one is quite amazing, it claims to be a skin tone correcting serum. My skin isn’t too bad in this department, but it did have some old marks (not scars) where I’d had a blemish or two, and it had left a dark mark on my skin and this little serum has helped over the past 4 weeks to even out the skin tone on those areas. It’s also great on dull skin too, I’ve been spending a lot of time in a yucky air-conditioned hospital over the past 6 months and my skin was looks so awful, just utterly dry and lacklustre. This serum along with the Origins Checks and Balances Cleanser which I blogged about here have really helped my skin and it’s looking more healthy and fresh. I feel like my old self.

This serum is really non-greasy and soaks into your skin, leaving it feeling smooth and hydrated. I highly recommend this if you need to put a little life back into your skin. I’d love to hear any other recommendations you have for Origins products.

Origins Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash

Origins skincare gift set

This face wash came as part of a Be Bright Origins Gift Set. You get,

  • Brighter By Nature High Potency Brightening peel pads
  • Brighter By Nature Skin Tone Correcting Serum
  • Starting Over Age-erasing oil-free moisturiser with Mimosa
  • Checks & Balances Frothy Face Wash

I will review the other products separately. I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed using the Frothy Face Wash. I use this in the morning in place of my Jurlique Cleanser (I still use this in the evening). I have to tell you that you need the SMALLEST, I can’t emphasise enough that you really need a pea sized amount of this to wash your whole face. This 50ml tube is going to last me ages.

This stuff lathers up like nothing else, it’s crazy, it certainly lives up to its Frothy namesake. It also smells so fresh, like mint, so if you like the smell of mint you will love this. Once on your face it feels like a creamy face mask, it’s quite a thick consistency – not that it hardens or anything like that. Once rinsed off it leaves your face feeling smooth and tight, not dehydrated, but your skin feels firm and really clean. It has a luxurious feel to it, which is nice as often face washes strip your skin of moisture and clog pores, but this doesn’t do that. It gives you a deep clean and leaves your skin feeling great.

I have very sensitive skin and found this face wash was very gentle and soothing, the creamy texture leaves your skin feeling moisturised and fresh. My skin has been blemish free and my t zone has been a lot less oily. The sample size in the box is 50ml, but you can purchase this separately

I really recommend this for dull, tired looking skin – give it a go.
