Review

Results you may expect from using Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Power Anti-Aging Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Power Anti-Aging Cream:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.5 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.
  • Adequate sun protection for most daily activities or short periods spent outdoors.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Power Anti-Aging Cream has a moisturizing rating of 2.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.4 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 3.6 out of 10, primarily due to Butylene Glycol (est. ≈0.3%), Glycerin (est. ≈0.3%) and PEG-6 (est. ≈0.3%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Power Anti-Aging Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Caffeine, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, and Micrococcus Lysate. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Power Anti-Aging Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Rosa Damascena Flower Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Anogeissus Leiocarpus Bark Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Sun protection

Origins Plantscription SPF 25 Power Anti-Aging Cream has an SPF of 25 and provides moderate sun protection. This level of protection is generally adequate for most daily activities, such as running errands or spending short periods outdoors. However, if you spend a substantial amount of time outdoors, it is better to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher.

Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %50
Function
Origin
The most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Butyloctyl Salicylate
Est. %9
Function
Origin
A synthetic emollient and solvent. It is primarily used as a carrier oil to disperse minerals in, including pigments and sunscreen minerals. It can also absorb UV light, thus boosting the SPF of sunscreen products.
Homosalate
Est. %5
Function
Origin
A synthetic chemical UV filter that protects against harmful UVB radiation.
Octisalate
Est. %4.5
Function
Origin
A UVB sunscreen also known as ethylhexyl salicylate. It is normally paired with UVA sunscreens to provide broad-spectrum protection. Octisalate also protects other ingredients, like colorants and antioxidants, from deterioration due to exposure to UV light.
Avobenzone
Est. %3
Function
Origin
A popular sunscreen that protects against UVA rays, which cause premature aging and skin cancer. Avobenzone degrades after about 30 minutes of sun exposure and becomes ineffective. It is therefore often paired with UV-filter stabilizers such as octocrylene.

Est. %2.8
Function
Origin
A synthetic compound that protects skin against harmful ultraviolet light.
Nylon-12
