Plantscription™ Anti-aging serum by Origins Recommended by Whom You Know

As Product Alert has grown and grown, we really value the brands that we have worked with for years now, and to that end we are thrilled to continue our coverage of Origins, with their latest and greatest which is Plantscription, which we enthusiastically recommend.  It's Monday which is a perfect day to start considering new products to start your week off right, and what this will do to your skin will amaze you.  
With age, skin weakens as does its ability to repair. Fibrillin, the critical fiber in skin responsible for elasticity, firmness and “bounce” disintegrates with age as well. 

PRODUCT 
Origins offers nature’s anti-aging solution, Plantscription™ Anti-aging serum. Researched over five years in partnership with plant scientists at the University of Strasbourg, Plantscription™ Anti-aging Serum is clinically proven to have 88% of the visible wrinkle-reducing power of a leading prescription wrinkle ingredient without the challenging unintended effects of photosensitivity, skin shedding, burning, stinging, redness, dryness, flaking and itching. 

POWERED BY NATURE 
Plantscription™ is formulated with Anogeissus Tree Bark which helps boost natural fibrillin production and rebuild the structure of the skin. Siegesbeckia and Rosemary Extract helps rebuild natural collagen and elastin, and with Anogeissus Tree Bark, help visibly decrease depth and length of lines and wrinkles and strengthen skin. 

PROVEN BY SCIENCE 
Plantscription™ was tested in a 20-week consumer study on women ages 42-63. Board Certified Independent Dermatologist and Ethnobiologist Dr. Marcus McFerren reviewed the volunteer panelists lines, wrinkles, redness, irritation and flakiness results. Plantscription™ showed both immediate and long-term results. After only four weeks Plantscription™ proved a 51% reduction in lines and wrinkles, and after 12 weeks: 
57% clinical reduction of the overall appearance of lines and wrinkles 
64% clinical improvement in visible skin lifting 
41% clinical improvement in skin firmness 
A significant improvement in the visible reduction of the 11’s, the dynamic lines between the eyes; there was also a noticeable visible reduction in the depth and length of wrinkles. 

Additionally, in a consumer study after just four weeks: 
83% witnessed a more youthful appearance 
85% saw an improvement in skin radiance 

Using ultrasound sonography, Origins found that dermal density and bounce were also markedly improved. 

APPLICATION 
Apply AM and PM to clean skin. Proven safe and effective for all skin types. 

KEY INGREDIENTS 
Anogeissus 
Anogeissus, known as “Siiga” (meaning “the soul”), is a rare extract from the leaves and bark of the sacred Anogeissus tree, native to Ghana, West Africa. It is harvested by local African tribes as a potent wound healer and antimicrobial. When Origins harvests Anogeissus, it is done to ensure sustainability and not damage the tree; it is taken from pruned branches or directly from the tree without stripping it. 

Siegesbeckia 
Helps maintain collagen. 

Rosemary Extract 
Helps maintain elastin. 

Vitamin C and Peptides 
Proven to boost natural collagen and elastin production. 

ESSENTIAL OILS 
Mandarin 
Mandarin Orange, with its high Vitamin C content, is native to southeast Asia and the Philippines. It is thought to have decended from oranges that grew in northeast India 3,000 years ago. 

Star Anise 
Known for its antioxidant benefits, Star Anise is grown almost exclusively in Asia. This star shaped fruit is harvested before ripening, then dried and used as a spice. 

Pink Rose 
Ancient Romans discovered Pink Rose’s ability to help soothe and calm skin; today it is proven as a topical anti-irritant. It takes approximately 60,000 petals to produce one ounce of its precious oil. 

Lavender 
Lavender’s use has been documented for over 2,500 years as an herb known for its soothing, relaxing qualities and for being a potent anti-irritant. 

Geranium 
Native to Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, Geranium oil is known to have anti-irritant properties.
