Origins Zero Oil Deep Pore Cleanser with Saw Palmetto and Mint
What does it promise to do?: 

Cleanses pores thoroughly and works deep to remove excess oil, makeup and impurities. Leaves skin shine-free and gently exfoliates away dead skin cells that clog pores and cause breakouts.

Do we like?: 

On the plus side this smells great and leaves skin feeling clean and it isn't greasy. But this had no benefit to shine control so disappointing.

Origins A Perfect World SPF25 Age-defense moisturizer with White Tea

Origins A Perfect World SPF25 Age-defense moisturizer with White Tea
What does it promise to do?: 

Designed for everyday use, this oil-free, antioxidant moisturiser builds an invisible bubble of protection around skin to help minimise the appearance of damage including lines, wrinkles and age spots. Helps delay the appearance of premature signs of ageing.

Do we like?: 

A super creamy moisturiser which is very thick before applying. However, it quickly soaks into skin leaving no hint of a greasy base. Love the high SPF. But wasn't as moisturising as our tester's skin needed.
