I am a big advocate for sun protection so I have tried many!
My skin has been changing, when I was oily, this would cause me to look extremely greasy. However, as my skin has become more dry, this looks great on my skin.
The texture is very thick but spreads easily. It does not leave a visible white cast on my skin. I also have sensitive skin and this does not irritate it. There's no scent besides a very slight typical sunscreen smell.
The high SPF is great, I am not someone who burns very easily but I do prefer wearing higher SPF products for protection sake.
I would definitely recommend this for anybody who is interested in a good sunscreen.

The Origins VitaZing moisturizer claims to have many benefits for your skin, including hydrating, protecting, energizing and providing a hint of radiance mimicking some time in the sun.
It’s formulated without many harmful ingredients which I enjoy as it seems to be more “natural”.
I originally bought this for my mom because I read some reviews on it and thought it would work great for her. She didn’t like it much and gave it to me to try.
Packaging
I enjoy the packaging of this moisturizer a lot as it is a squeeze tube therefore making it extremely hygienic and travel friendly.
Texture, Look, Scent, Overall Feel
The texture of it was a medium thick lotion, it has a slightly grey tinge to it with microbeads that break up as soon as you massage it into your skin. There is a slight scent to the product, but not overwhelming also I did not notice any sunscreen smell. It feels a little oily once applied, which I am not a big fan of as I am an oily/combo skinned girl.
Claims
It keeps me well moisturized throughout the day, but I do have to blot every now and then. It doesn’t claim to do anything to help oily/combo skin so I can’t say it did poorly at that! At the end of the day, my skin was still moisturized.
For people with fair skin, there will be a noticeable tint once massaged into your skin, but as I have light-medium skin this effect couldn’t be seen at all on my face.
Overall
This is a good product, but not for me. I think it would work well for people with dry to normal skin. The tint is very faint and would not show up unless you have very fair skin.

Despite how thick the formula is, this BB cream is surprisingly light coverage. It lightly evens out my skin tone but does not work well to cover any major redness or scarring.
Because of its convenient squeeze tube and quick application, this BB cream is what I reach for almost daily. This is the first BB cream I have stuck to. I do not find that it breaks me out and provides good enough coverage for what I like.
I have combination skin and I would not recommend this to those with oily skin types as it does slip and slide. Also, if you have dry patches - this will cling to it (not extremely though).

To start, I have combination skin, more so on the oily side. During the Winter here in Canada, so the weather was harsh and my skin was definitely been more dry.
I have really tried to love this product because you get so much for a good price.. however, this moisturizer left me with super dehydrated, swollen, itchy, red patches of skin on my cheeks.
I first tried this cream last Winter and experienced what I described above. I suspected that it was the cream because when I put it on, it would burn my cheeks but I was really hoping it wasn't! I blamed my new work environment and my foundation. I stopped using the cream too but I didn't see my skin getting too much better even swapping out my cream.
I tried it again this Winter. Bad mistake! I had the same reaction. This second time around, I finally accepted that it was the cream and immediately switched it out for another cream and my skin is back to being smooth!
I will just use this on my body as I don't get a reaction that way.

I have combination, dehyrdated skin. Super oily but still flaky skin - sucks, I know!
This moisturizer has worked fantastic on my skin, it does not cause any reactions and I like that it has sunscreen protection. It does not cause a huge flashback in flash photos which is a plus. I do not find it has a strong sunscreen scent either.
The product does require work to fully absorb into your skin, if it is not fully rubbed in, there will be white patches. It provides a good amount of moisture but not enough for my forehead when I have more dryness, you can still see flakes so I usually end up putting another layer of some other moisturizer there. It does not make my oil any worse or better, but it has a nice mattifying effect at first when you put it on which eventually fades throughout the day as my natural oils come through.
Overall, a great product for the price and a new staple for me.
