Once in a while, I love to change my products away from Shiseido as I am often curious about new products. I agree that Origins softening lotions give a more relaxing and easy-going feel.... but I am of combination skin, dead skin cells accumulated to the noticeable stage can often be saved with this lotion ( I have also tried other Shiseido lotions)... Surprisingly, this lotion contains alcohol and citric acid which my skin was badly sensitive to. Yet, it seems so far so good... so agree with Jannette

I have bought one bottle to try because the washing foam for this line is great. Again the moisturising effect is excellent as in other Shiseido products and it does seem to help absorption of the creams follow and defers hydration excellently. I am of combination skin so I am no longer using this on a daily basis....

I have finished one small sample size and to be fair, the moisturising effect is excellent even you can feel your inner skin layers fulfilled. However, I have doubts on its whitening effect ( I have tanned skin tone anyway) and I think it may be too overpriced...

I am currently 26 and have been using this product (Series I) for long... and I have to say I have never found any other products that can make my skin look clear and yet moisturised! But the whitening effect is dubious so it should be more economical to buy the normal version~!
