Can't get enough of Origins' products - they are divine. Love the smell, feel, and spread of this. Only gave 4 stars because I love the Make A Difference™ Plus + Rejuvenating Treatment even more!

Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive, great for dry skin
This is a great moisturizer for dry skin. Be careful how you apply because a small amount goes a long way. You might end up with a greasy face if you apply to much. It helped get rid of the dry patches on my face.

Great for my combination dry and oily skin
-04.14.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I have struggled for a long time to find something that worked with my skin. I have dry sensitive skin, but by mid-day it was oily. This moisturizer has been a lifesaver. I love how it soaks in. I try to make sure I put it on within three minutes of being out of the shower. I think this tip from a dermatologist was key to any moisturizer. I will be buying it again.

Miss the old Make a Difference
-04.07.13
My skin doesn't like the "plus" version. I can't seem to find the plain, old cream. This one causes clogged pores and greasier skin for me. So sad.

Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly
I have combination, oily skin that's pretty dehydrated. I found that the Origins Starting Over moisturizer was too rich, but this stuff is great. Light and hydrating, I find that this has been helping my skin stay moisturized without becoming greasy. This also hasn't broke me out like Starting Over. Overall, I really like it.

I love this product, I am naturally extremely dry. When I apply makeup it tends to separate on my face even with a primer, this product before I apply anything makes my face look airbrushed! A little bit goes a long way!! The only thing they could change is the sent.

Light & Lovely
-03.14.13
Quick Take: lightweight
This moisturizer definitely moisturizes but remains light. Works really well with my foundation when I go for a light dewy look. I have acne prone skin and it does not seem to irritate or cause breakouts. The fragrance took some getting use to but bearable. On my dark skin alone it tends to be a bit shiny
Overall I would buy this moisturizer again.

Repeat Purchase
-03.11.13
Quick Take: moisturizing, oil controlling, natural, good value for money
I. Love. This. Moisturizer.
I don't say that lightly either. I have combo dehydrated skin and it's such a challenge to find a moisturizer that hydrates without leaving me shiny and is a good base for foundation. I also am trying to avoid chemical-laden products. I tried this on a whim at the beginning of the month after some of my favorite beauty YouTubers suggested it. It hydrates my skin, doesn't make me oily throughout the day, and all of my different foundations go on like a dream over top. I use it both day and night and in the morning I'm finding that my skin isn't oily (which means it wasn't dehydrated and didn't have to compensate by producing extra oil). I'm also pretty sure this has kept some of my blemishes at bay. I'd happily re-purchase this again. The also have three different "strengths" of this in case you want a lighter or heavier version. My only complaint is that they don't have a matching eye cream for this range yet!

Great moisturizer
-02.24.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
I have very dry skin, this gets worse in the winter with the heat. This moisturizer makes my skin feel soft and hydrated. It does have a botanical smell which others complained about but it doesn't smell bad for me. I highly recommend it.

I have very dry skin and this cream actually gave me some relief at night. The only problem is its too thick and oily to use during the day under makeup

It totally Makes A Difference :)
-02.06.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
I was recommended this moisturizer by a employee who works at the Sephora in Colonie Center in Albany NY and I love it. She gave me a choice of this or a moisturizer by Clinique-I don't like Clinique products so I opted to try this instead. I have combination skin and the cold dry air in Albany NY was giving me a few painful dry patches this winter and this moisturizer definitely helps relieve my skin. I highly recommend it. As for the smell some people mentioned, it goes away almost immediately when you apply it to your skin. It smells "planty" but it doesn't bother me at all, I'd rather have it smells "planty" rather than like chemicals.

It seems like it would be nice...
-01.29.13
Quick Take: lightweight, absorbs quickly, intensive
I think this cream seems like it would be great... if you didn't have a sense of smell. I have no idea what "rose of Jericho" is exactly, but this doesn't smell like lychee or watermelon like I expected and I think the so-called "rose" smell takes over. It sorta smells like cooked artichoke and thyme. Other than that, it feels a little waxy on my forehead, but my skin feels nice and smooth. I'll probably move to the A Perfect World moisturizers since I have the rest of the collection and it smells a LOT better.

replenishing with NO BREAKOUTS
-01.15.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive
This is the best moisturizer I have ever used for my skin. I'm 35, and because I constantly break out, I had to use oil-free moisturizers and they never provided enough hydration. I switched to this cream, and even though it seems heavy, my skin is radiant and I have stopped breaking out completely. I use it in conjunction with the make a difference brightening peel. It's hands down one of the best products I've ever used.

I was really reluctant to spend this much on moisturizer at first- especially considering the size of the jar. It's quite small- I can easily fit it in my hand. However, I was impressed with how little I could use in one application. I will definitely be able to keep this one jar going for a while! The scent when you first put it on weirdly smells a bit like fruit loops, but the smell is not strong and goes away almost immediately after you put it on. I'm very sensitive to smells (can't even have air fresheners around without getting a headache), so for me to say the scent is not an issue is really saying something. Overall, I like this moisturizer. It keeps my skin moisturized, but doesn't make my VERY oily skin worse. I don't know how well it's going to work on very dry skin, though. Usually I get a few really dry patches during winter, but since this winter hasn't been that cold, I can't test it on that.

It's about time!!!
-01.07.13
I'm not typically a product junkie. I find something that works and I stick with it. Unfortunately, whatever I seem to love gets discontinued every couple years leaving me to start all over. I have the dreaded combo skin that is 'acne' prone. By acne prone I mean a couple pimples a month that can be cystic if the wrong products are introduced. That added with the weather changes my skin had suffered a lot in the past couple months. I've seen many adds for this and finally gave it a shot. I've never used Origins products before but I can now say I will be a FAN forever. This changed my skin completely from the downfall it was in. Be warned that this is a bit greasy but it does absorb after a bit. My skin, while combo was breaking out because of how dry it was and was overproducing oil to make up for it. This really did save my skin!! It's smoother, softer, and keeping the breakouts at bay. Because the company won me over with this I've started using the Youthtopia at night and so far so good. My pores also seem to look smaller, probably because they're not full of garbage from less superior moisturizers. If you are on the fence, run to get this!!

Quick Take: absorbs quickly, intensive
I have extremely dry skin and have tried multiple products in the search for long-term moisture, and this product really delivers. It hydrates immediately but also retains moisture throughout the day. My skin still feels smooth and hydrated at the end of a long work day without needing to reapply.

Smells AWFUL
-01.03.13
I used this as a nighttime moisturizer and it smells AWFUL!! I gagged the first time I put it on. It has a weird combination of a lemon citrus-y smell mixed in with whatever other products they put in it. I couldn't even see if this "made a difference" because the smell was so nauseating. If you are sensitive to smells, DO NOT GET THIS! I was also afraid it would make my skin break out since the fragrance was so potent. I returned this immediately.
