I like the Origins VitaZing moisturizer with SPF 15, but like most other products from Origins, it is way too expensive. There are some products they carry that I might be willing to pay the extra mile for, but this isn't necessarily one of them. I thought that it did soak in well and made my skin feel soft and moisturized, but no more so than several of the less expensive ones I already have in my cabinet. I like the scent of it quite a bit, as it is not strong or pronounced, and I think the texture and absorbency of it is very good. The slight tint of the cream means that it offers some light concealing effects to blend away minor blemishes, which is helpful considering I usually don't take the time to do a lot of makeup on my face; I usually just moisturize and go. I'm just not sure it's an overall good enough product to justify the rather hefty price tag for the amount that you get in the tube.

I would definitely recommend this to anybody who doesn't like to put too much make up on or who prefer to have that extra 10 mins to sleep in on a work day like me. It's a great moisturizer on its own with added benefits of bronzer, sun block and even foundation primer. Effectiveness This is a nice tinted moisturizer that is really light weighted and absorbs quickly to moisturize your skin. It also has vitamins C & E for anti-aging effect. I was trying to compare it with a BB cream, sun block, foundation primer, or a bronzer, but it just doesn't quite fit into any category because it seems to do a little bit of everything at the same time. I'm not sure how but the gorgeous glow seems to be enough to provide a good basic coverage and you'll look like you just got back from a vacation. Ease of Application When you squeeze it out of the tube, it looks greyish white but not with a consistency of a sun block. It's really light which spreads and sinks easily into skin. You will only need a pea size amount to cover the whole face. It gives instant moisture and a very subtle glow. Scent To be honest I do not notice too much of a scent to it. Overall I think it's a nice smell.
