I tried out the Origins White Tea Skin Care Guardian, this product falls in the "A Perfect World" category. Now about the product, this product is one of the most mild products I've tried. It felt a little greasy and had a very very mild fragrance. Upon application, I could clearly feel that it was very mild on the skin and helped plump up the skin and created a more smoother look without much shine. I have a few scars on my face and the very first time I used this product I really saw a difference. Since I'm used to applying this kind of serum and applying a moisturizer on top, I certainly didn't have any trouble with the routine.
If you have sensitive skin and are looking for a nicer product that won't harm the skin, this might be a perfect candidate. Skin definitely felt very nice, soft, supple and on top all that it did make my scars less visible :)
Right now I am using Modern Fusion and I'm just waiting for it to get over so that I can go ahead and start using the Skin Guardian cream.

Origins Modern Friction and Modern Fusion review!!
Sometime back I realized that my skin is no longer smooth and soft, and I ended up searching for a product that'll even out my skin tone and make it softer.
I've always used my same body wash on my face as well or I've used Olay facial cleanser, both of which weren't enough to do any good to my face! So, I decided to go searching for some facial product that would do some good to my face.
Basically I have pretty good skin for the most part so I didn't really need something that was very intensive. All I needed was something that would make my skin more clear and nice :). Some of my friends use the 100% organic products but I ruled them out because I couldn't justify spending $60 for a beauty product, besides that I didn't really like it when I tried the sample.
So now having said all that I've tried many of the mass products but none of them really worked consistently. I went to the Westfield Valley Fair Mall that's near Santana Row and I wanted to just see the different beauty boutiques that are there and finally pick something.
Once I was in the mall, I got real curious about the Origins brand, the lady there talked me into buying this Modern Friction buffing paste for the face and the Modern Fusion serum. I tried this stuff on the back of my palm in their boutique and I should agree that I've never seen a better scrub.
I got charged about $75 for both of these and I really wasn't sure if it was all worth it, nevertheless I decided to try the product and if it really doesn't work then I could always return it.
Now that I've been using this product for more than a month, my skin shows very clear improvement. It's quite amazing as to how such really small quantity of the serum and buffing paste work so well.
About the buffing paste, it's not as coarse as the other scrubs in the market and very little quantity stretches all the way and I really like the fact that it lathers with water. I also like the way I'm able to massage this all over my face. The scrub has very clean rice and lemon fragrance which is quite refreshing and nice. I could clearly feel the skin to be soft every time I use the scrub and the result is immediate. I was advised to use the scrub about 2-3 times a week, but since my skin is really sensitive I only use it twice a week sometimes less. I could clearly say that my skin has improved with every use.
Now, to the Modern Fusion serum, I was told to apply this serum after cleansing my face. This serum is supposed to be worn under the moisturizer. Just a couple of drops of the serum helps cover my entire face and it gives a uniform matte finish to the skin and it seems to keep the face clear and nice pretty much through the day. I don't use separate make up or face-powder, it's pretty much the serum and moisturizer and the results are quite amazing. This serum also smells of rice and lemon and is very pleasant and its not as strong smelling as some of the other serums and moisturizers.
I can clearly see that my face has become more brighter and the skin tone has gotten better. I really love these two products. Despite the seemingly high price, I'm fairly certain the buffing paste would last me another 3-4 months and the serum might last atleat another 2 months. So, that makes the cost come down to roughly about $10/month, which is worth it for the kind of results I've seen using these products.
If you are really searching for skincare products that show results, Origins might be really good place to start.
