Love this moisturizer! I havent had it long yet so I'm not sure if I like it better than cliniuques dramatically different moisture yet but i'll see. So far the origins products havent made me break out. I have dry skin but many foundations and moisturizers make my skin red/break out. I havent had any trouble with the "better then naked" tinted moisturizer either. Good products.

Pretty good, I only use a little bit after Estee Lauder's recovery serum. It gets absorbed really quick and my skin feels soft afterwards. I started using it during winter in southern California climate, so don't know if it would be too oily for summer. I have sensitive, combinattion skin.

Finally a moisturizer that works for my skin! I've had oily, acne prone skin with dry patches ever since I was a teenager (I'm 25 now). I have been on a constant search for a great moisturizer ever since to have in my skin care routine, and I can't believe it but I think I've finally found it with "A Perfect World". Most moisturizers would either not add enough moisture, cause break-outs and/or feel oily - and I've tried EVERYTHING from La Mer to Clinique to drug store brands - NOTHING worked! I tried "A Perfect World" and was pleased with it from the get-go. But since I've experienced disappointment with every moisturizer I've used I naturally waited for the problems to come up....but they NEVER did! My skin just got better...and better...

I use Clinique Clarifying Lotion(Toner), A Perfect World moisturizer, and Clean & Clear Persa-Gel. I used to have an average of 10-20 bumps constantly since I was a teenager... I think I get maybe 1-2 a month now at worst. I haven't had skin like this EVER, and I'm so happy that after years of searching I've finally won! I know it was the moisturizer because it is the only thing I swapped out before my skin began to change for the better.

Highly recommend!!!

I can't be sure, but I started using this at the same time I tried A Perfect World toner. One of them gave me red bumps all over my forehead and made my chin break out.
I heard of people breaking out from Origins' products. Seems there's just a ton of ingredients in here - while I like all of them, and love the "idea" of Origins (and probably some of their body products, which I'm just trying out now), I think I'll stay away from their facial products - just a bit too intense for me.

I like this. Rich feeling but not too heavy. Works well with my combination skin, but is not quite HG. Will keep looking but would repurchase if I can't find anything better!

I love this product. It's my HG moisturizer right now. I use it twice a day, and often, depending on if I'm wearing foundation or not, I will double up on it. It smells wonderful, and has such a rich feeling to it. My skin feels so soft after I put this on and doesn't feel greasy a bit. I'm on my third bottle and will use it until I find something better. I have never had a breakout with this product. This is great for my normal to dry skin, plus one bottle lasts forever. A little goes a long way.

This is my current daytime moisturizer and after two months of use, I am very happy with it. I have extremely dry skin with flakiness on my cheeks if I don't keep up with exfoliation and moisturization. Perfect World makes my skin feel nourished and soft and the smell, like many Origins products, is divine. With other moisturizers, I have noticed that after application, my face feels like it's sweating - I dont have that with Perfect World, which sinks into my dry skin without leaving residue on top or making my face warm. My only complaint is that I wish it came in a tube or a pump rather than a jar because I hate product getting under my fingernails.

I like this moisturizer a lot. The smell is subtle, but clean and fresh, slightly citrusy. What I don't like is the lack of SPF. I would use it more often if it had that. As it is, I use it as a night cream, especially undereyes, or as a moisturizer before I go on my morning walk.

Just a very basic moisturizer. I tend to get dry patches on the cheeks and dryness around the nose. This moisturizer at first worked good enough, meaning it helped to prevent dry patches and my skin did feel soft. However it still looked dull and tight even thought it was smooth. It did not really do anything at all for the dryness around my nose (and I do exfoliate). I will not buy this again. I think that Clinique's Moisture On Line or On Call is much better even though I'm not sure I would buy that again either but maybe. Origins A Perfect World is a definate no re-buy. This is probably good for someone that has normal to oily skin.

I'm on my 2nd bottle of the Perfect World. I have combination skin, and this product doesn't break my skin out, nor clot my pores. After applying it, my skin automatically feels very soft and smooth. I have been using this product underneath my Olay All-day moisturizer with SPF 15 for almost 2 yrs, and i haven't noticed any signicant new lines, so I do believe this product works well as a protectant. The packaging is great, it's a pump, which is good b/c it contains antioxidants, and whatever the mechanism it uses, i'm always able to use up everything in the bottle.

I'm on my third bottle of this. I do like it. It makes a nice smooth surface before I use my moisturizer and foundation. I think I might be ready to move onto something else to give it a try. I've never had a breakout with this. I'm not sure it really does what it says. I"m not a real environmental kind of gal, but I do like the softness of my face after I apply it. I only use it in the mornings.

When I first used this, I was impressed at how smooth and supple my skin became. Some MUA reviewers didn't like this feeling as they thought it felt too "artificial", but I liked the emolient effect of this serum. The problems came after finishing the first tube of the stuff. My skin suddenly became much oilier, and my makeup didn't stay on. In fact, it got to the stage where if I rubbed my face, bits of moisturiser, serum and foundation would come off. Somehow, even though I was using the same amount of serum throughout, I'd managed to layer too much of it on my face. To add insult to injury, the serum stopped smoothing out my skin as well. I don't think I will be purchasing this product anymore because quite frankly, it's a lot to pay for a serum that doesn't do anything anymore, except cause me daily annoyances.

My review is for the new(er) Perfect World facial moisturizer. I have combination/sensitive skin that can be acne prone, and the sa said this would be perfect for my skin. It smells lovely and didn't sting going on, but it broke me out with little whiteheads all over my face. Not pretty. I am coming to terms with the face that anything origins makes for face I should just steer clear of.

This stuff is amazing (this is for the Guardian) and there is nothing else out there quite like it. It feels like silk when you put it on and absorbs rather quickly, leaving my skin feeling soothed and soft. I use it before using the moisturizer (APW too) and my skin is totally addicted. Great, great stuff.

I love this product!! It makes your skin feel so smooth and soft. I love the way it feels almost like silk right after you put it on. I follow it with make a difference treatment. Just a little drop goes a long way. Orgins has great products!

Too heavy for my combination skin. Wanted to use it as a night cream but I woke up with very greasy skin, and it seemed to make the blackheads on my nose worse! Smells nice though. I like the Skin Guardian (which is meant to be applied before the Moisturizer) better and might use that in combination with another moisturizer I unfortunately have yet to find. :-(

Helped soothe my rosacea'd skin. Took a few weeks to work, but it did help to calm down the dryness.

Got a trial size with my Never Say Dry. This is supposed to go underneath the moisturizer but I found my skin doesn't agree with it at all. Never Say Dry is brill but no idea what this is supposed to do and sure ain't getting any results! Nope, will not buy again.
