Wanted to love it, Just not right for my skin.
-06.04.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I really wanted to love this, but I have mildly acne prone skin so it made me break out. I would have given the product 5 stars, but my skin is just too sensitive for it. Some other reviews say that it helped to calm their skin, but everyone is different. I absolutely love the light, earthy smell of the product. It is really pleasant. The texture of the product is almost gel-like and glides on so smoothly. I will definitely try using this again if my skin clears up. It is very moisturizing, so I use it around my eyes and over my makeup as a highlighter on my brows and upper cheek area. I also use it on my neck and chest without any problems. If I didn't have sensitive skin, I would love to use this twice a day after cleansing, but I do think the texture of the product is more ideal for mature skin, almost like a serum.

Quick Take: moisturizing, soft, pleasant scent
I have been using this product for years now. Never disappoints. I love how amazingly soft my skin feels after the application. It smells nice too! I always put this after my moisturizer! Never oily, but always sleek!

Works wonders for my sensitivity
-05.19.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, soothing, calming, relaxing scent
This stuff is great for soothing and calming my sensitive skin. When my face gets really red, burning & irritated I can put this on and it immediately begins to calm and the burning stops. I don't know if it is the texture of the serum or the white tea or the bosweilla but what ever makes it work I am grateful. There is no offensive odor or smell, in fact the scent itself is very light, soothing and pleasant. I would recommend this to anyone who has overly sensitized skin. My problems lie mainly on the apples of my cheeks and around my eyes. It is kind of like rosacea without the little pimple-like bumps that will sometimes accompany the condition, however I have never been diagnosed with this condition. But I do believe that even someone with rosacea could use this product and not be bothered. I cannot say enough good things about White Tea Skin Guardian. It is one of my go-to's must have products.

Quick Take: moisturizing
This is the *only* non-prescription thing I have found to treat my eczema around the nose and eyebrows. Even though the pricepoint keeps climbing, I am completely devoted to this product as part of my skincare regimen. I've been using it for nearly 10 years now, as it appears many others are.

Fabulous!
-04.27.13
I have been using this product for years now and I will never do without it. I remember getting compliments on my skin the first time I tried it. I put it on before bedtime under my moisturizing cream and during summer when my face gets oily, I just put it on alone by itself. It makes your skin look smoother and more even...making you look younger and fresher. I recommended it to 2 of my girlfriends who are almost 50 (I just turned 40) and they absolutely love it! It's quite pricey if you think of adding it to your beauty regimen but it's so worth it!

Hydrating, but skin has red puffy spot
-01.27.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
It's almost gel-like so when I put it on my face, it goes on smoothly and absorb into my skin quickly. It felt refreshing and light. My face is dry-combination type. However, as much as I adores Origins product, this product causes a skin allergy reaction. After a couple of minutes of applying it on, part of my face would get this puffy red spot. Luckily, I had a sample of this when I bought the kit. At first I thought maybe it was my Korres 24 hr. moisturizer, so the following day, I decided to only apply this serum on. After a few minutes, the small patch of puffiness pops up.

The first step
-01.14.13
I have been using this for years, it is my firs step after I cleanse. It feels like its sealing and preparing my face for whatever comes next. Its a smooth lotion, easily absorbed, smells pleasant and feels like silk.

Quick Take: moisturizing
I love this line! After turning 30, I started having breakouts and weird things going on with my skin. I tried treating with acne products and anti-aging products and nothing seemed to work. This has balanced my skin so it is clear, soft, and smooth! The Guardian spreads well and should certainly last a LOOONG time, justifying the cost!

Love this product!
-11.15.12
A little bit goes a long way and it spreads very easily without tugging the skin. It may feel slightly greasy on application but that goes away within a few minutes. I initially receivced a sample of this product and I noticed within a couple of weeks that a red spot I had on my cheek (burst capillary?) was noticeably lighter. I feel comfortable recommending giving this product a try.

Outstanding!
-09.08.12
Quick Take: oustanding, dependable, worth the price
I've used this product for 15 years now, and I don't know what I would do if they discontinued it. I have combination (leaning toward dry) skin, I live at high altitude, in a dry climate with winter.... and this serum makes my face feel fantastic all day. I've used many products that feel good when I put them on, this one won me over when I used it with Origins "Make a Difference" moisturizer and when I touched my face mid-afternoon and it still felt GREAT... I knew I would keep buying it. It only takes one "pump" to cover your face, and everyone I have suggested try it has been hooked (all skin types).

I love this product and have been purchasing it for about five years. I use it with lotion in the winter and with sunscreen in the summer. I like to mix it up with my foundation so it goes on smoother. This is the most important product in my drawer.

One of my two Origins must haves
-08.17.12
Quick Take: smoothes lines, glides on
This, plus some GinZing eye cream, and a light dust of powder, and my sun damaged big pore skin is ready for a regular day. The GinZing is a little shimmery, and hides lots of little creases. And the Skin Guardian is great as a primer. Don't use a lot! A dab, seriously, that's it!

An old fave!
-06.17.12
I've been using this product since it first came out. It's the absolute best for sensitive skin, and takes away redness, inflammation, dryness and itchiness, as well as helps me deal with allergic reactions, humidity, weird weather changes, dry heat, etc. Goes on great under makeup. I recently started using the perfect world toner as well, and now my skin looks and feels even better. I highly recommend this product to anyone!

Quick Take: hydrating, long lasting
I've had many products that I put on and make my skin feel better, but I have never had anything like this serum .... when I put it on, I'll touch my face at the end of the day and feel like I've just put it on. Feels fantastic all day, and makes my skin feel like it is back in my 20's.

Not too sure how it'll work.
-03.23.12
Quick Take: hydrating, primer
This serum is a preventative treatment. It's supposed to protect your skin from the outside world. I'm not sure what it's supposed to remedy but I can tell you that it works great as a makeup primer, smells good, and makes your skin feel hydrated but not oily. It feels thick when you first put it on but you need to let it absorb into your skin before putting on your makeup. I guess check back with me in 20 years and we'll see if I look 25 still. Ha.
