This gel-cream is werid... I like the smell, it's really relaxing and I like its light weighted consistency as well. However, the biggest issue i have with this cream is that it's not hydrating enough. I have combo-oily skin in the summer and after 2,3 hours applying it, my skin will start to flake...especailly around my nose and mouth area. I really want to like it because it has really nice scent and it feels good when applying it. Sadly it's just not hydrated enough for me. And another issue is, when I wash my face in the morning, I can feel there's an oliy film on my face, I guess my skin doesn't really absorb this cream... ya, it's going back to origins and i'm gona stick with my kiehl's lotion then...

I love it! The smell is wonderful. You feel so clean when you take it on your face. Your skin will feel like silk, and the smell couldn't be better. Origins is the best for your skin.

this is pretty good stuff here! its lightweight yet does a good job of moisturizing. my skin is smooth and also the scars are less obvious after 1-2 weeks of continous usage. good enough for morning or night use. thumbs up for me!

I only bought this a week ago and i m really seeing some results.Initially,i was planning to get the Night-A-Mins lotion but was suggested by the SA to try out this gel cream.I love the orangey scent of this and i always inhale deeply in my palms before i apply it on my face.It really smooths my skin and plumps it up.I hope to repurchase it in the future although i must say its pretty pricey for one jar of this.

I started using this about 2 weeks ago and I am seeing results immediately. I have sensitive, acne prone, combination skin and I am very skeptical about my skincare but this product was really nice. I love the serum-like consistency and the smell is fabulous (fresh and fruity). I apply it morning and night under moisturizer (I use Clinique Super Defense in a.m. and Dramatically Different Moisturizer lotion p.m.) and it leaves my skin radiant and dewy. It is my new favorite and I am very difficult to please, trust me. I am in love with this product. I usually break out monthly before my period but NOT while using this product. Its almost too good to be true. **Note - a little goes a long way. I usually dip my finger into it, rub it between my palms and pat it gently on my face. Now, if it was only cheaper....
I will buy this again. I LOVE it. I will update in a month or so with more results.

I bought this product with no preconceptions.I have been using for around two months now and have been very impressed.
A little goes a long way,if my skin feels a bit dry i use a moisturiser too. It gives my skin a nice dewy glow and I have noticed long term blemishes have faded slightly .I use morning and night but would suggest leaving about twenty minutes after application before applying base. Then it makes foundation glide on effortlessly with nice cover and good staying power.Unless it lets me down shortly I plan to purchase this one regularly.

I have really weird skin and I have tried many moisturizers, and this is the only thing I can put on my skin without it breaking out. I know its considered a treatment, but the watery texture of it is perfect, and sinks right into my skin. A little jar last a long time for me, because I don't use a lot. The other moisturizer, A Perfect World, broke me out, so I don't know what it is about this one that just works. Will continue to purchase until I can find something cheaper that works just as well.

This product gives me allergies. it makes my face red hours after application. My face starts peeling after a few hours. Not a good product! Stay away from this. it ruins your skin!

It worked for about 2 months, then I developed an allergic reaction to it. Now every time I put it on, my skin gets itchy, red and flaky. And I scratch myself raw. It was good in the beginning, but it was not moisturizing enough for the winter months. I would never buy it again.

I recently started using this at nights (I have Clinique DDMG to use during the day, and this makes my skin dewy boderline oily so I don't want my skin to shine like a wok when I'm up & about during daytime!) and I must say it makes my skin look so much brighter, smoother and softer when I wake up in the morning. Its expensive, but if works, I don't see why I shouldn't splurge! :)

I've been using this product for over 6 months now. I purchased this last winter and thought it would be a good moisturizer for my combination skin. At first it seemed like it was working well; no breakout and enough moist-- but now it seems like my skin is breaking out very often and I'm thinking about changing to a new moisturizer! Maybe it's b/c of the jar and that maybe they should use some kind of pump bottle for keeping the product clean til the last drop you get. Yes, it's good for make-up base but won't hydrate my skin enough to last at least several hours since it gets absorbed into the skin pretty quickly. To me, this isn't the moisturizer to use for a long period of time.

I use this after the skin guardian. I have been using it for almost 6mths.. i am not sure what it is doing cos i do not feel a difference.. even if there is a slight difference, i wont know if it was due to skin guardian or make a difference. the SA recommended that both AND the perfect world must be used together.. that is a cool $180 worth of products to use in the morning.. hmm.. i am sure there are cheaper alternatives.

I have combination/oily skin that also tends to be sensitive - bad combo - and this is my favorite daytime moisturizer. I use something heavier at night or my skin gets dried out over time (I live in the desert), but this is the best moisturizer I've found for me for under makeup or just to stop my cheeks from feeling dry. I do know, however, that my mother (very dry, sensitive skin) doesn't like it and it, in fact, sometimes makes her face burn. So this is probably one of those very subjective moisturizer/treatments that only works for some people. I've tried switching to some other products for daytime use (Origins Have a Nice Day, Perfect World, and Look Alive and LUSH Imperialis) and they're all too heavy. I do wish it were cheaper, though, because I go through it pretty fast.

I would love to rave abt this product but sadly its not really that great. I have combo skin and recently i felt my skin really dried out prob by some acne medication, so the SA recommended me this as a moisturiser..according to her, its the ""safest" moisturiser among all the range. The smell was wonderful and the texture was superb. BUT my face didnt feel hydrated at all and though my friends commented on the first day after i used it that my face looked more glowy, i had small red bumps on my cheeks after that. I'm still optimistic though, that hopefully it might work after a few more times.

I can't agree with the claims of this product. I saw no difference in the tone of my skin, but it worked very well as a serum or light moisturizer. The smell is light and a little sweet. The texture is silky and glides on nicely. If I had very oily skin, this would make a great moisturizer. I bought this originally because I needed something light to go on underneath my SPF, since my SPF didn't moisturize practically at all. This one doesn't leave a film and served as a good, light layer of moisture underneath my sunscreen, without making my skin feel like it was layered with lotion. But that isn't how this product is marketed. If they changed its description and lowered the price, I'd probably buy this on a regular basis.

I have oily/combo skin and use this after toner - no other moisturizer. I think it is a great primer under my makeup and also works well at night. I like the way it goes onto my skin and the smell is also very nice. I will definitely keep this product in my regimine. I have not had any problems - have been using this for about 3 weeks.

Generally, a harmless but also worthless product. I'd agree with the reviewers who said it should be named "Make No Difference." I would definitely use this at nighttime/bedtime, not during the day if you have oily skin! It can also sting for some reason. On the positive side, it smells nice: after a goodnight kiss, my son asked me why my face smelled like Froot Loops! AHA! It does smell just like Froot Loops cereal!

I do really like this stuff a lot. Its not a cream though, more of a gel. My skin just seems to look so much better when I use it. It smells very nice and just gives my skin a really even look. Sometimes I can get away with using this as a moisturizer and other times I cant. But I will certainly be repurchasing this again and again.
