Origins Plantscription combines all-natural plant extracts into a formula designed to stimulate collagen production without chemicals or preservatives.

Origins Plantscription was created to improve wrinkle length and depth by 51% in just four weeks. It also reports stimulating smoother, firmer, and lifted skin, especially between the eyes, on the forehead, and around the mouth. Origins Plantscription reportedly comes with prescription-strength ingredients, but does it work?

Ingredients and Mechanism of Action

Origins Plantscription uses various ingredients in the attempt to stimulate collagen in skin. These include water, butylene glycol, dimethicone, glycerin, jojoba esters, anogeissus leiocarpus bark extract, rosa damascena flower oil, laveandula angustifolia, pelargonium graveolens flower oil, illicium verum oil, citrus aurantium bergamia, carthamus tinctorius seed oil, myristica fragrans kernel oil, citrus aurantium dulcis oil, citrus nobilis peel oil, citrus medica limonum peel oil, litsea cubeba fruit oil, hibiscus abelmoschus extract, geraniol, linalool, citronellol, limonene, sigesbeckia orientalis extract, prunus amygdalus dulcis seed extract, mangifera indica leaf extract, psidium guajava fruit extract, polygonum cuspidatum root extract, centaurium erythraea extract, micrococcus lysate, rosmarinus officinalis extract, cucumis sativus fruit extract, pyrus malus fruit extract, scutellaria baicalensis root extract, salicylic acid, phytosphingosine, glycyrrhetinic acid, sodium hyaluronate, phospholipids, acetyl hexapepetide-8, caesalpinia spinosa gum, methyl trimenthicone, zinc pca, caffeine, ammonium acryloyldimenthyltaurate/vp copolymer, arginine, caprylyl glycol, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, polysilicone-11, hexylene glycol, dicaprylyl carbonate, tromethamine, tocopheryl acetate, carbomer, silica, and phenoxyethanol.

Overall Impression of Origins Plantscription

Origins Plantscription uses sigesbeckia and anogeissus tree bark to improve collagen in skin, though it has not been fully researched. In the past plant extracts are not proven to improve wrinkles. Origins Plantscription contains a peptide, but it is not in high enough amounts to be effective. In the end Origins Plantscription is mostly un-research though the odds that it works effectively are very low.
