Most Helpful Positive Review If you have super dry skin, this is for you!! I have a pretty dry skin overall and super dry especially during the fall/winter season to the point my eyes puff up if I don't put vaseline under my eyes before bed.
I bought this product half-heartedly since there were pretty many bad reviews and some even say it is not as moisturizing.
HOWEVER. This product is honestly SUPER moisturizing and creamy. (this is considering that I put on a toner and serum beforehand) It smells super orange-y and refreshing (i love it). It has not caused any breakouts for me. It actually made my skin feel a lot better because it gives just enough moisture it needs overnight n it does not feel too sticky afterwards. It seems a lot smaller outside, but a little goes a real long way. I have been using this for a month and I barely made a dent on it even though I use it everyday.
The only reason why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is too creamy even for me. It would be too dewy if I were to put makeup on top of it, which is not happening now cz pandemic, but still, I would not really use this as a day cream but this is perfect as a night cream (:
Most Helpful Critical Review Lovely scent, but not hydrating As others have mentioned, this cream smells fantastic (although might be too much for those with sensitive skin). It applies beautifully and feels hydrating the first 15 minutes, but after a while it dries up completely and your skin feels like you never applied anything. For a product that boasts being "ultra-hydrating" I expected more. Additionally, it begins to peel off your skin. Applying make up over this is difficult as the product beings to peel off when you blend anything.
All that being said, I received a refund and was told to keep the product or dispose of it. I began putting rose hip oil over the cream to hydrate my skin, and my skins looks fantastic. I must have been using something in my other cream that was causing breakouts because once I began using this, the breakouts stopped. I still don't recommend this product, but it does go to show how amazing the ingredients in Origins products are. I will try another cream, but this one certainly isn't it. It you have oily skin, this might work for you. Otherwise, don't purchase it.

I've tried TONS of moisturizers and creams for my dry skin and nothing has helped me until I found this stuff. I love Origins brand in general but this cream is by far my favorite product of theirs. I can't say enough about it, it's the perfect cream for dry to combination skin.

Caused breakouts right away 1
artimake from Morgantown, WV
Origins is not what it used to be. I used to love their products but can't use them anymore because they fill everything with acne-causing ingredients like algae extract, linalool, and silicone. Not to mention squalene, which is made by killing sharks. I used this cream for one day and my forehead broke out immediately. I'm in my late thirties and have sensitive skin, so this was horrible. Thankfully, I was only using a sample packet so I know not to ever buy this. Look at ingredients before you buy. Anything with algae extract WILL cause acne.
Good day cream 4
Ellie from PA
I'm not a big fan of Ginzing line and this one is not bad for a day moisturizer since it's not as oily. It's not very hydrating(if you want hydration use Make a difference line cream) but I like it as a day cream and use it after Ginzing or Plantscription serum and lotion.
I hate this 1
lc13456 from New York, NY
Usually I really like origins, and even the ginzing gel moisturizer isn't that bad. but something about this moisturizer is NOT compatible with sensitive skin. my skin literally looks like it has a rash or something and this is the only thing i added to my routine. itchy, red, and peeling. probably the fragrance but i'm seriously not down with this
Causes skin rashes/breakouts 1
Aandrews44 from Boston MA
I usually never have issues with face cream causing breakout or redness. Every time I use this cream though my cheeks breakout and get super red/dotted. Going to have to throw away - would not buy again. Regrets.

Like the texture, it feels refreshing while hydrating the skin.
Disappointed 1
yinji102 from OAK HARBOR, WASHINGTON
This is the first product that I feel disappointed from ORIGINS. I thought this product gonna help for amazing hydrating to my face, but it started peeling my skin. It looks like a melted wax. I feel so bad about it. I would never buy this product again.
Adore this moisturizer 5
Mikaelah from MI
I initially got this moisturizer as a travel size, and I love the large just as much! It gives me such a great moisture surge without making my skin greasy, and it smells great as well. I use this at night and a different moisturizer in the morning (with SPF), and this does a great job helping me wake up looking refreshed rather than disheveled.
Wouldn't buy again 1
Marisa98 from Jalisco, Mexico
First of all I should say that I regret not reading the negative reviews on this cream. This said, I am 22 years old and I have normal to dry skin, also I don't have sensitive skin I can usually try products without any bad reactions. I was looking for a new moisturizer and saw this cream in a lot of sites advertized as just miraculous. I had been having some dryness and with the winter months comming I thought it was a good idea to try this cream on.
It was a terrible mistake. It left me with severe pimple outbreaks, itchiness and redness in my face. Of course this had me tossing the product in the garbage as quick as possible. Its a shame because I just love how it smells. I usually do not write negative reviews, but this isn't just a "it leaves my face oily" or "I don't like how the jar looks" issue, I have seen it repeatedly in the reviews: the product can cause irritation and redness on your face. As I said before, I decided to ignore all the bad reviews but I would recommend for anyone who wants to buy this product to read the negative ones very carefully.
My favorite moisturizer 5
Leslie81 from Marietta, GA
I'm not sure why this has such bad reviews but it's my favorite. I have normal skins and it works really well. I interchange it in fall/winter with the gel moisturizer for spring/summer because it's thicker than the gel. It's really quiet lovely if you're looking for a basic moisturizer that just does the job
Hydrating 5
Lilly from Cerritos
Keeps my face hydrated all day perfect for someone with dry skin
Absolute Best 5
Randy from Raleigh, NC
This cream is my holy grail, I have used it for about 6 years and I have bought 4 jars of this.
Nothing ever delivers the results I find with this. It is a thick and heavy cream that I only use at night after serums and such. I use it on its own as well.
I NEVER use it under makeup so I cannot comment on that.
The rich feel of this is why I come back, it is absolutely divine.
I cannot comment on anti-aging effects of this, this is pure moisture and nourishment for me.
I cannot live without this. I can see sometimes with repeated use, it can be heavy and clogging so I use it every other night or every two nights, basically when my skin needs a rich cream.
I adore the scent too.
Great moisturizer, with one nitpick 4
JWil from North Carolina
I have fallen in love with the Origins line of products and this moisturizer is no exception. It's very hydrating and has a lovely light citrusy scent. My one negative, and this is nitpicky, is the container. I dislike having to dip my fingers into a jar of moisturizer. If I continue to use this cream, I'll have to go through the hassle of transferring each jar to a pump dispenser.

The BEST moisturizer for daily use!!! 5
Teuta from New Jersey
I've been using this product for over a year and absolutely love it! Whenever I try another moisturizer I just go back to this one because they do not compare! I love how it makes my skin feel and I even mix it in with a few drops of vitamin e oil and my skin feels so bouncy and looks so smooth after using it! Recommend to anyone!

Not enough hydration 2
Riah from WA
I really loved this the first time I bought it so I got 2 more when I ran out of the first one. Sadly I feel like it's different now, not quite as much hydration as I remember. Will not be buying again
