Awful packaging and awful product! I found it very difficult and frustrating to get the right amount of lotion out, a pump action or a tube would be much more useful. Once I finally got the stuff on my face, it smelled lovely and seemed to sink in nicely, but within an hour my face was like an oil slick, yet felt dry and tight underneath the oil. I do have combination skin but with any other moisturiser I've used I don't get as oily as this one made me.

To make things worse, after 3 days of use my skin broke out in itchy bumps along my jaw and little under skin bumps on my forehead and around my nose. I don't know if this was the Night-A-Mins cream or the Origins cleanser I was using but it was definitely caused by an Origins product because this was the only change I made to my skincare routine. Not impressed at all!

For $38.50, I would expect the packaging to be a little more user-friendly, but it just has a simple opening.
The bottle itself is 1.7 oz, the lotion inside is slightly creamy, and makes the skin feel very smooth when I put it on. I don't mind the lemon-citrus scent, although I don't think it's necessary.
Two days after I started using this, I got whiteheads in several places on my skin, so it definitely isn't noncomedegenic. It also has a crapload of ingredients for a line claiming to be natural.

Overall, I would not recommend this for the high price point.

I want to like this more, but it tends to make my face greasier than I would like it. I have oily skin to begin with and this moisturizer leaves my face feeling heavy and almost filmy. I think that this would be best for someone with dry skin. Combination to oily should stay away.

Like the smell and everything. However, the effect was greasy as I have combination skin. Face becomes shiny and I have to keep blotting my face. I didn't really like the bottle as i tend to pour too much. Would have been better if it came with a nozzle.
I reckon it would work better for those with dry skin. Still have lots of it and will be using on my body instead.

The only thing I liked about this moisturizer is the SPF. The rest didn't help.

I really, really didn't like this. I was so bummed. Just another SPF product that led to major breakouts and irritation. I was looking forward to trying this since it's so similar to Night-A-Mins, which I RAVE about, but it was a no-go from the start. I tried and tried and tried again to like this stuff, but it just wasn't worth the coated feeling on my skin, the irritation, and the breakouts. The packaging wasn't particularly nice looking, and the smell was a bit "SPF-y" which I suppose is understandable... Bummer.

I wanted to like it . It smelled great and its natural , but it was too greasy for me and it made me break out . I think all Origins products make me break out , it must be the natural oils?

I have bad experience with Origins products, they are just too harsh on my skin.
This strong grapefruit scented moisturiser broke me out and irritated my skin badly, i had to stop using it although i love the texture.

From the smell of it, i think there is some kind of citrus essential oil in this lotion and I don't think it is advisable to apply strong essential oils directly to the skin.

I really like this moisturizer. My skin has become really acneic over the past couple of months for some reason and my regular moisturizer wasn't cutting it, so I tried a sample of this, and it really seemed to make my skin smoother and more matte, but I don't think it's helping my skin clear up so I'm not sure if it's my HG moisturizer. I also love that it has SPF in it and the nice citrusy scent is wonderful. I absolutely HATE the packaging though so that's why I took off one lippie. Dumbest packaging ever. I wish it came in a pump or at least a squeeze tube. It's really pricey too...so for it's price it should have better packaging goshdarnit!

I quite like this stuff; it has a nice subtle orangy smell, light texture and leaves my matte for most of the day but moisturises my dry areas too. The only downside is the bottle is tiny but a little goes a long way.

This is a great light moisturizer that's perfect for day. I have combination skin, my cheeks get dry but I'm oily in my T-zone. The Have a Nice Day moisturizer keeps my oil to a minimum while providing enough moisture to my cheeks. Another great thing about it is that it has SPF 15, which is so important for a daily moisturizer. In the summer it gets insanely humid where I live and in the winter it gets fairly dry and this moiturizer has maintained itself through both climates, which I love. I don't notice it clogging my pores and it works great under my makeup. I recommend this to anyone with combo skin.

Some people don't like the packaging, but I actually like the little glass bottle. It think it's quite cute. I also like the smell and the texure. It's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it.

This is my HG moisturizer. I mix it with my Nude and Improved foundation to make a tinted moisturizer. A little bit of this product goes a VERY long way. While this product works for me, it will not work for people who are prone to oily skin because it will make you break out. Have dry or normal skin if you are using it. I apply it with a liquid foundation brush and put my liquid foundation over it and it makes them both smooth. I also love the smell and love the fact that it's a natural product with essential oils. When i go on vacation I always take this stuff and after I pop out of the shower I apply it to my forehead and other dry areas. I also love the packaging although glass can be tricky.

I really like the fresh grapefruit-y scent. It's invigorating! I like how it's also got built in sunscreen because I always forget to apply sunscreen. It makes me T-zone just a bit oily, but is perfect for the rest of my face. I've been using Balanced Diet for my T-zone, and Have a Nice Day for the rest of my face and neck, and I've found that my skin is less shiny, and smoother.

I love this product I have oily skin and this feels light and non greasy to me and the scent is just a hint of citrus. I like not having to put on a sun screen.I will buy this as long as it is sold. LOVE it!

i use this after I've applied the A perfect world serum...the Have a nice day lotion is just enough moisture for my face. I like that it has SPF and it also smells really good too! I guess the only thing that i'm not too fond of is the packaging. I would re-purchase.

I love it. I have always had a hard time finding a product that would give the right amount of moisture for my very-combo skin. I tried Balanced Diet, which I found to be too much (although it's supposed to be less moisturizing that this one), I tried Matte Scientist and that was too much, but Have a Nice Day lotion is perfect. And it smells good, like most things from Origins.

My skin gets really dry and tight after I wash my face or shower. This moisturizer makes it feel silky again. I need an SPF product because of my skin tone. I love the smell and how soft it makes my skin.

This doesnt do anything much other than SPF. I also have an inkling that it may have caused some breakouts on my skin...while its supposed to be light-weight, it does feel abit too moisturising for my combination skin.

Eh, this is fine until I use it up. It's a little too heavy for my normal skin. Doesn't break me out, but doesn't really do anything besides SPF either.
