This is my HG moisturizer. I have really dry flaky skin in the winter and this has totally transformed my skin. I've used lots of different moisturizers and this is one of the best out there!

Great winter moisturizer. Seems to offer a protective barrier for your skin. Doesn't really seem to sink in very well though. Not sure if I'd use it in the summer. I would buy again next winter though.

Found it! My HG moisturizer! My skin is so soft for hours and all my flakiness has completely gone! Much better than I expected and much better than La Mer at only a fraction of the price! No tingly sensation either, just wonderfully soft smooth skin. Will definitely repurchase!

I also really like this moisturizer. It hasn't caused any bad reaction with my sort of sensitive skin and makes my skin glow (in a good way) the next morning.

I LOVE THIS STUFF! I have been using NSD for nearly a year, having tried it during a facial at an Origins counter. I am 34 (sniff) and have always had very dry skin... but it's really getting out of hand in the winter since hitting 32 or so - parched, tight... really not fun. This is a great product - shea butter, fruit oil extracts, the works. I don't think it's very pricey at $30 for 1/7 oz, because you use so little of it! Trust me, ladies, get yourself a little plastic spatula and take 1/3 of what you THINK you'll need, then add more if you need to. You won't. Then wash the spatula. My friend's dermie just told her that sticking your filthy fingers into jars of cream is yukky poo. Even popsicle sticks work. I will continue to use this cream and be buried with it. If you'll all excuse me, I'm going to apply more now. BYE!

Wonderful Moisturizer! I have only been using this product for a few days but it is perfect for my really dry skin. I use Renova (retinol) at night, hoping to rid my eyes of those lovely fine lines that have formed (although I am not so sure Renova has really helped) but anyways, as a result my skin has become extremely dry and often a bit flaky. This cream has a really nice texture, it's smooth but not too greasy and goes on easily. It may be too heavy for some but if your skin is really dry, it makes your skin so soft and resiliant (sp?)...it also has helped my wrinkles fade or rather prevents them from forming. Because my skin is so moist, the wrinkles don't stay when I smile. Although, I do use eye creams as well (Zia Ultimate Eye and Burt's Bee's Repair Serum).
I bought Origin's Never Say Dry at Macy's, at $31 for 1.7 oz. I will definitely purchase it again.

I just love this product! I have dry,flaky skin. I also use renova and this product works well with my dry skin and did not cause any breakouts or bad reactions.

This is a really great moisturizer when you REALLY need a moisturizer, but I didn't find it very conducive to everyday use (and I have a dry skin). It needs to be emulsified to spread without pulling. But, it really does the job.
A much better product than a lot of Origins moisturizers

Awesome moisturizer! Used to have perfect skin, then brokeout a couple of months ago. I am now on avage and the obagi system combination and my skin was parched. I tried everything to moisturize my flaky and irritated face, however everything seemed to irritate it even more. This moisturizer was the only thing that saved me and got rid of the flakies. A MUST for people who have dry skin due to retinoid use or over-drying products. This stuff hasn't broken me out yet and is a lifesaver:)

This product was excellent. It moisturized my very sensitive skin without breaking it out. I saw results the first time I used it. It does tend to look shiny when it is first applied but it disappears within an hour or so. A fantastic moisturizer for sensitive and normal to dry skin.

I have finally found THE moisturizer. I am using a retinoid cream for my mild acne, and for the life of me I could not find a heavy enough moisturizer to help with the peelies. This is the only one that works. My face does get a little shiny, but as far as I'm concerned flakes are worse than shine!It is a tad spendy for a fairly small amount of product, but it is absolutely worth it. Will buy again.

I have flaky/dry/red skin ever since I started using Neutrogena's On-the-Spot acne treament. What's more, it's winter right now. argh... After I wash my face, my skin is so tight that I can't even talk. Then my friend reco this heavenly and fruity life saver. Thanks to Origins, my parched skin is now saved. Yahoo!!! Love this to bits. Many of my friends say that it smells so good. haha... Been using this for 3 days now and I can see a vast improvement. And yup, it's a bit 'shiny' so just use a small amount on your face. It cost me AU$65 but I think this can last me for a long long time.

I loved this moisturizer. $30 for 1.7 oz, shea butter which I LOVE, it makes my face look "dewey" which I love- I tan alot and have pretty dry skin in general. I could see how people w/oily skin wouldn't like this, but I'll take every bit of moisture I can get. This is awesome!!

I've been using this cream for 3 weeks and my usually dry skin looks and feels wonderful. To me, the scent is faintly pine-like, rather than fruity. The price is a bit high, but after using the sample for a week I was sure this was "the one." The packaging is misleading i.e. the container that holds the actual product is held by a larger container. What's with the padding? I hate that. Regardless of price and packaging, this stuff works for my dehydrated skin and I will buy it again. For now I use it morning and night, come summer it may be too heavy and will switch to evening only. The other day someone commented on my luminous skin. Yes, luminous!! I really hope it keeps working for me, this is exactly what I've been looking for.

Amazing - it completely made my face soft and flake free during the worst winter month of January. I will warn you however. The first two weeks my skin was a bit red and itchy but immediately afterward it was fine. I also have eczema and dry dry skin so any product that works is great for me. I love this moisturizer. Honestly, give it a try. It IS heavy and seems like a bit much but it works. If you have super dry skin I recommend this. It is expensive at 30 bucks a pop but so far I have tried it all and this is worth the money. If your skin is not too dry I suggest saving by buying a regular moisturizer for the day and using this at night. For me I tend to use regular creams at night and this during the day since I need a moisturizer that works all day long.

Wow, I just got a sample of this new moisturizer and it is fabulous! Like a fruit cocktail for your face! But it's not a fruity scent that sticks around and makes you naseous. There are many real fruit extracts used in this very emollient cream. I also have very dry skin in the winter and this has become my new favorite moisturizer! I have mainly been using it at night(trying to preserve the sample), but it is light enough for a daytime moisturizer as well. If you don't want to splurge on a full size, place an order with Origins soon and they'll send you a free sample - but hurry!

I tried this moisturizer today and I am so impressed. It is definitely a heavy duty type of cream, very thick, with texture like La Mer. But it smells like pears! On first application, it definitely sits on the skin, but a few hours later, it is completely absorbed. So yes, it's a night cream, but a really lovely one at that.

I had been ready to give up and place a paper bag over my head. I was breaking out, flaking, you name it. I finally decided to stop with all the acne treatments and harsh facial cleaners, and stick with Dove soap and a moisturizer. Problem was, I hated every one I came across. Then I got Never Say Dry for Christmas from my mom, who knew I was going through skin hell. This stuff is THICK, and I was put off immediately. Plus, it stung a little the first few days I used it. It's very heavy, and after first applying it, my skin feels super oily. However! Don't let this all scare you. I've been using it consistently since Christmas, and my skin has never looked better. It's soft, it's healthy, and the breakouts are going away! Like the last reviewer, I would not recommend this to someone with oil problems. However, I am using this as a day cream because of the cold weather, and I'm not flaking a bit. Love this stuff. I'll see how it works in the long run, but it was my saving grace!
