I despised this for the first few weeks I used it. I found it had no purpose in my makeup routine, but I started taking a tennis class and using less makeup as of late so this really helped in the morning with redness and gave my face the boost it needed to look more fresh. It's super sheer, but like I said really helps with my redness which is great.

This just about matches my skin tone. It's easy and quick to use. It's also a bit heavy/shiny for my oily/combo skin but a bit of powder over it mattes it down perfectly. It doesn't really moisturize my skin but it's good enough. This is one of my all time favorites but I'm always on the lookout for something better.

Great light daytime moisturizer, especially for the warmer months. I love how it makes my skin look fresh and glowing. You only need to use a tiny little bit. Looks great under makeup or worn alone. I would recommend using a heavy nighttime moisturizer along with this because it is so light.

I bought this originally to use as a tinted moisturizer, and found that it works quite well as such. However , I really do require more coverage, so when I accidentally used it as a primer with a light foundation over, it made my complexion almost flawless. I have little, if any brand loyalty (too many choices, too much temptation!) but I have repurchased this several times. It is the best moisturizer/primer combo I have found

I've been addicted to this stuff for a while... When you first dispense the product, you get a thick, speckly, grey formula. Once you rub it into the skin it changes and blends with your skin tone. It is NOT oily or greasy feeling, in fact, it feels a little "clean" or almost hard, as opposed to soft. I really like this for my combination skin, but I wonder if it would do well on dry skin. It gives just the right amount of color to give you a nice "glow"-- I love to put it on right out of the shower because I feel like it adds a little something without makeup. Love it.

i love this moisturizer. i only bought it because i had a facial booked at origins for $45 in product. i got this moisturizer in a bonus pack with an eye cream and exfoliator (also love the eye cream...). i have very sensitive skin and react to most products. i have had these small bumps on my forehead for the past few months and although everyone claimed they couldn't see them (liars) they really bothered me. i tried switching up all my products to natural ones and nothing really helped, however, since using this moisturizer they have completely disappeared and my skin is just super clear and smooth. i think it's the best it's ever been?? i'm 27 and have olive skin. this moisturizer gives a subtle glow and evens out skin tone. i love it but wish it was cheaper. way cheaper. school is $$.

I got a sample of this product when I purchaed some other Origins products, I probably would not have tried this without using the sample first. I have very oily skin, and was hesitant about trying this out. I must say that I do like this product, it gives my fair skin (NW15-20) a nice subtle glow and evens out my skin. My only real gripe about this product is that it tends to exaserbate my oily skin and I feel greasier than usual (however, this does not make me breakout). Recently, I have started using MAC P&P Face Protect and I can now use this product without being super-oily (yay). The price is a bit high for the small amount of product you get. It is a good product, but ask the counter for a sample tube before you buy. continued >>

not a great product. it went back to the store for credit the next week! continued >>

Wanted to try this after I heard TiffanyD singing it's praises, and I'm happy to say that it really lived up to everything she said. I know some people say it's a bit too heavy and makes their skin oily, but I think you have to remember that a pea sized amount is all that you need. I think this is also an important factor to bear in mind when considering the price of the product, because even though 35euro is more than I ever would have paid for a moisturiser before, it's actually worth it for the time it lasts. I have been using mine for almost a month and I haven't even made the smallest dent in it! I have combination skin, and I have problems with acne, and I highly recommend Origins Vita-Zing :-)

so I never wuld have even given this stiff a chance if it wasnt given to me as part of a free gift along wth 2 other deluxe samples of my choice. It was a pretty decent size sample as well .5 oz n just the sample alone has lasted me about 2 months, a little goes along way! As prior reviewers had stated if u have oily skin it may be a little heavy for u, but I figured out a trick for that becuz I love it so much I didnt want to just give up on it. I prime my skin wth mattify ultra loose powder for very oily skin, which can only b purchasd via the internet. It gives aur skin a good base and absorbs any excess oil n fills in pores so the results are flawless. This is my new holy grail moisturizer wth a nice tint that will adjust to ur skintone and even out ur complexion, it has never left me looking orange or streak, just beautiful healthy glowing skin! I dont even need to wear foubdation anymore, whicj I nevr left the house without! I think over time it also improves the look of ur skin wth the super antioxidant mangosteen, but I dnt kno for sure or a combination of evruthng else I use on my skin, but I do kno that I love this product and cant live without it, ive heard ppl complain about the price, but I think its very cost effective cuz of how small of an amount u have to use, my sample alone lasted me 2 months, I love this stuff!!!

This made me so oily! Im naturally oily on my t-zone, but thats usually after at least 3 or 4 hours. But using this, after 30 minutes my face is all shiny! so my makeup is sliding everywhere before I even get to school. Plus it makes me look more tan than I actualy am and I hate looking tan. (I know I'm weird lol) Will not be repurchasing, already swapped this away to someone who can appreciate this.

I have nothing bad to say about this product! I am a bit curious as to why it isn't really marketed as a tinted moisturizer because in my opinion that is exactly what this is. I am bi-racial (white and black) and I'm a bit lighter than the average mixed person so my skin tone would be that of a tan white person. Haha! Just trying to be as descriptive as possible. I have acne prone skin and I have moderately oily skin. I am not a big foundation wearer and for me, this works for everyday use. On the weekends, this is the only product I use on my face and during the week for work I usually top it with a powder to prevent shine. I don't feel that this has increased my breakouts at all. It really gives warmth to my face that I love. I do think it has a bit of a dewy finish, but I don't mind it, and it’s not shiny. I've been using Vitazing for about 3 months and plan to repurchase it. I don't know if anything like it!

After purchasing VitaZing on recommendation of a SA, who recommended this as suitable to 'sensitive skin' It gave me an allergic reaction, burnt of my skin, left it red and rough. I definitely do not recommend this product to anyone, and would give it 0 stars if i could.

I really wanted to love this, after hearing all the raves from my favorite YouTube makeup guru. I have combination skin, and unfortunately after a short time, my face was a complete greasepit. I felt like my face just kept producing all this oil, no matter how many times a day I blotted. I really didn't expect this to happen with VitaZing, considering it didn't look or feel greasy when I put it on my skin. It left a very natural finish. I did give it 2 stars: 1 for the packaging, because I really like the tube packaging; and another star for the nice glow and even tone it gave my skin immediately after applying it. I do agree with others on the price point ~ it is a small amount of product for $35. Unfortunately, this is going back to Macy's...

This is a product I heard about on the Youtube tracks and confirms my faith in research.
I have only really started getting into make up and began by using a few different types of low and medium coverage products. This is the one I have settled with for every day. It gives me a glowy, tanned colour and a dewy finish to my skin - without encouraging any oiliness at all. It has proven to be very good for my skin even when I have removed it. It is also very welcoming to blush, eyeshadows and anything else I am wearing on my skin. Fantastic product and I already have a spare packet in my cupboard. (ps eat mangosteens, they are the most delicious fruit you have ever tasted!)

I'm 34, fair, with uneven skin and rosacea. In the winter I need a little boost of glow and this stuff does the trick!
I use a peasized amount after I use my retinoid (and it has settled in). Then I conceal my red spots, dust on some powder and do my eyes.
So simple! It has eliminated the step of foundation and I'm glowy! Perfect for "getting more mature" skin.
I only rated it as a 4 tho since I just started using it and don't know yet if it causes breakouts, etc. Will update again if so.

This sometimes works and sometimes don't. Some days it makes me look healthy, radiant and nice, and the next I look like a grease-ball.. I can't use this when I work (out), because my face gets so shiny and gross. But on calmer days, I will use it to feel fresh and alive.
After switching to Origins skincare, my skin has improved so much that I don't need makeup to cover anyway. For most times I only use a tiny bit of BE Warmth to get some color in my cheeks, some mascara, and then run out the door.

I bought this product because I watched Makeup by Tiffany D on youtube and she always raves about how good this stuff is.
I'd have to say, I would love it if the tube was a little bigger because it is quite pricey. Then again you only need very little amounts of it to cover your whole face. I think it will last a long time.
I have combination skin which is drier in winter time(now) but still oily in my t-zone throughout the day, and my skin breaks out and gets clogged VERY easily.
This moisturiser is now my HG for daytime. I feel like I can't live without it. It is a moisturizer with a Very light tint which makes your skin glow and it has SPF! I used to wear foundation every. single. day. After using this for 1 month, I no longer feel the need to wear foundation. It is the BEST feeling! This is coming from a girl who used to call into school because my acne was so bad! I get compliments on my skin now :)
-I put this on after washing my face in the morning, apply concealer to any spots and undereye circles -- allow a couple minutes to set and finish with MAC mineral powder(which is very light) and a little bit of blush.
I would highly recommend this product. I've tried a lot of things that didn't work for me but have worked well for others but I can honestly say that this product is amazing and Everyone should have it!

I am so glad I got this as a sample. I normally like Origins and seek out natural products (hence the second lippie), but VitaZing looked really awful on me. It made my skin turn orange! And it is impossible to blend, so it made my skin have orange streaks. Also, my skin did not feel moisturized at all. I ended up wiping this off.

I'm NC-15...it's a nice moisturizer, but it made me look like an oompa loompa. Orange is not a good look on me.
The smell is pretty gross too.
I normally love everything by Origins and everything TiffanyD recommends, but this was a total miss for me.
