Results you may expect from using Origins Three Part Harmony Oil-infused Serum for Renewal, Repair and Radiance:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Origins Three Part Harmony Oil-infused Serum for Renewal, Repair and Radiance:

  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Origins Three Part Harmony Oil-infused Serum for Renewal, Repair and Radiance has a moisturizing rating of 7.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.4 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%) and Butylene Glycol (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Squalane (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Origins Three Part Harmony Oil-infused Serum for Renewal, Repair and Radiance has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Extract, and Caffeine. 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 Three Part Harmony Oil-infused Serum for Renewal, Repair and Radiance is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Narcissus Tazetta Bulb Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Polygonum Cuspidatum Root 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.

Water
Est. %70
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.
Squalane
Est. %6
Function
Origin
An occlusive moisturizing and emollient compound that forms part of the skin’s sebum. The main source of squalane had always been shark liver. Now, however, it is manufactured synthetically or derived from plant oils, such as olive and peanut oil.
