Prefer the previous SPF25 APW Moisturizer
I have used the A Perfect World Age-Defense w/ White Tea moisturizer for years; however, it used to be SPF25. When I went to purchase again I found that it was now reformulated as an SPF40. I placed an order, waiting for it to be back in stock, and finally received. This new formula is definitely h...

Reformulation Is Awful
While it's great that they boosted the SPF from 25 to 40, they totally ruined the formula in the process. The old SPF 25 formula felt like a normal moisturizer and sunk into my skin beautifully. This just feels like yet another greasy sunscreen, and it stings on my sensitive skin. Devastated that Or...

Too heavy

I bought this as a potential replacement for the Mega-Bright spf 30 moisturizer I've been using for well over a decade. (Origins discontinued it.). This is a just-okay replacement. It has spf, which I like, but it feels very heavy. It's not lightweight or oil-free like the Mega-Bright. I wish Origins still sold the Mega-Bright moisturizer! It was perfect.

I was looking for a sunscreen and I like Origins products and I saw they had something, so I thought I'd try this. I have been using this product for just 2 weeks now, and it seems good. It's a great moisturizer and its not too greasy. So far so good. I would recommend this to someone. I had another sunscreen that I was using, but they don't have it available anymore, but they have the same ingredients in this product as my old one I had. This is great. I love Origins products.
I have been purchasing this product for many years.

I have been using A Perfect World SPF 40 ever since I saw this Origins line featured as one of 'Oprah's Favorite Things". That was over 20 years ago, and I have used it on my face and neck daily since then. I am now 53 years old, and I believe this product has helped my skin age well. When I wear it alone, it leaves my skin with a dewy glow. It's also the perfect SPF to wear under makeup. I am often told that I do not look my age and frequently receive compliments on my skin. Thank you, Origins!

Great moisturizer. It doesn't irritates the skin, and leaves it moisturized. The added spf is a bonus. It was afraid it would leave a white cast because of the spf, but it blended in well into the skin.
